Tobacco & Vapes, LLC

Tucked into a shopping center in Winston-Salem, Tobacco & Vapes, LLC is easy to miss if you don't know it's there, but the people who shop here make the trip on purpose. One regular put it plainly: he drives past two other vape stores to come to this one because the guys treat him like a VIP. That kind of loyalty says a lot about a small shop, and it's earned the place a solid reputation around town. What keeps folks coming back is the service.

The guys behind the counter know their products, and they take the time to figure out what you actually want. We've heard stories of them ordering in two different juices just to see which one a customer would like, and of staff patiently working through flavors with someone who wasn't sure what they were after. Ask anyone who shops here and you'll hear the same thing: friendly, informative, and genuinely helpful. One shopper who called herself super picky about nic salts said the guy's recommendation ended up being one she loves.

On the shelves you'll find vapes and disposable vapes, e-liquid and vape juice, tobacco pipes, cigars, and a range of smoking accessories, plus some gift items too. Locals will tell you the prices here are among the cheapest around, and the juice selection gets high marks. Worth knowing: the vape hardware leans heavily toward Smok gear, so if you need coils or equipment for another setup, it's smart to call ahead. We've also heard the odd grumble about opening times running late, so a quick check before you head over doesn't hurt.

They stay open later than most shops in the area, which regulars appreciate when they're running low. If you're looking for a smoke shop in Winston-Salem where the staff actually take care of you, this one is worth finding. Look for it across the parking lot from Dairio.
