EZ Pass Tobacco & Vape Mart

The big draw at EZ Pass Tobacco & Vape Mart is the convenience. This is a drive-through smoke shop in Raleigh, and locals appreciate being able to pull up, grab what they need, and roll out without ever getting out of the car. The posted hours say 24 hours, and while a few folks have noticed they open early and stay open very late rather than running literally 24/7, the point still holds: when another store in town has closed for the night, this is the one people count on to still be lit up.

The selection leans into vapes, disposable vapes, e-liquid and vape juice, plus a genuinely deep cigar case. One regular called it one of the biggest cigar selections around and one of the more legitimately solid vape and tobacco spots in the Triangle. Ask anyone who shops here often and they'll point you toward the folks behind the counter, who the word around Raleigh says take things seriously and know their products.

We've even heard a story about someone who forgot to unlock their card before leaving the house, and the guy working just let them borrow what they needed and settle up the next day. Now, we'll be straight with you: locals are a little split on this one. Some swear by the service and keep coming back, while others have grumbled about pricing mix-ups and swaps on faulty items not going the way they'd hoped.

If you go, it helps to know exactly what you want and to check your receipt before you drive off. For a late-night or early-morning run in Raleigh, though, EZ Pass earns its keep on convenience and a strong cigar and vape lineup. It's the kind of place you're glad exists when everything else in town has already shut for the night.
