Vapes 'r' Us

Vapes 'r' Us has built a strong following in Akron, and the word around town is that it ranks among the highest-regarded smoke shops in the area. People who shop here come for the wide selection: vapes and disposables, e-liquid and vape juice, rolling papers, glass pipes and water pipes, and a full range of smoking accessories. One nice touch locals point out is that the shop caters to women too, with cute rolling papers and pieces that you won't find just anywhere.

There's even a small stash of snacks and drinks you'd be hard-pressed to track down elsewhere. The owner gets a lot of love, and regulars describe the place as having real family vibes. Ask anyone who shops here and they'll tell you the staff treat customers with respect and aren't shy about cutting deals when you buy more than one thing.

One regular who drives 25 minutes each way summed it up simply: best place in the Akron area, and worth the trip. A worker named Tevin comes up more than once for professional, friendly service. The store itself stays clean, and it's open late, till around 1 a.m., which folks appreciate when they need something after hours.

Locals are a little split on a couple of points. A few have mentioned prices creeping up since the remodel, and there's been the odd grumble about service, but the overwhelming sense from people who shop here regularly is warm, helpful, and generous with deals. If you're in Akron and need a well-stocked smoke shop that stays open late and knows its regulars by name, Vapes 'r' Us is an easy one to recommend.
