5 Stars Smoke Shop

If you are looking for a vape shop in Akron, 5 Stars Smoke Shop has earned itself a loyal following, and it is easy to see why. The word around Akron is that this is one of the best-regarded spots in the area, and people who shop here tend to become regulars fast. One fellow who came all the way from Cleveland said the welcome alone was worth the trip, and it happened to be his birthday, so they set him up with a deal (ID checked, of course). The selection is a big part of the draw.

Locals will tell you the vape and disposable vape stock stays fresh, often newer and deeper than what you will find elsewhere, alongside tobacco, cigarettes, rolling papers, tubes, tobacco pipes and all the accessories and devices to go with them. One regular who stops in at least once a week for tobacco and tubes swears he will not shop anywhere else. Prices come up again and again as fair and competitive, and folks mention leaving with a discount more often than not. Ask anyone who shops here and the service is what they remember.

Sam gets named as super nice, and the guys behind the counter clearly know their stuff, happy to let you handle a few different devices and talk you through them without any pressure. We have heard about a stamp card that earns you a free vape after enough purchases, and when one shopper kept forgetting to bring it, the guy running the store just offered to keep it in the register for him. When a vape turned out to be faulty, another customer got it swapped for a new one with no hassle. First-time visitors have even walked out with a free soda.

It is the kind of place where you get greeted with a smile and a bit of humor, and people around Akron keep coming back for exactly that. A genuine local favorite.
