Z moon tobacco & Vape (At Target)

If you have not been into Z moon tobacco & Vape (At Target) in Akron yet, locals will tell you it's worth the stop. The shop earned a strong reputation around town, and it lives up to it. Walk in and you'll find a clean, well stocked space with a genuinely big selection: vapes and disposables in a wide range of newer devices and flavors, cigars, cigarettes, rolling papers and wraps, glass pipes and water pipes, plus all the smoking accessories you'd expect. One regular summed it up as a "HUUUGE selection," and that seems to be the general feeling.

Ask anyone who shops here and Sam's name comes up fast. People go out of their way to get their vape from Sam, and word around Akron is he takes care of folks on price, especially when you're buying more than one. The deals on multiples are something regulars keep coming back for. There's also Heather, who by all accounts makes people's day a little brighter, sometimes joined by Annie the dog and Larry the cat holding down the shop.

The newer owner has put real work into the place, with renovations that regulars have noticed and appreciated. They've also moved to the Fivestars reward app, which people find a lot easier than the old paper stamp cards. What comes up again and again is that the staff actually know their products and don't rush you out the door. As one person put it, there's never a holdup "unless it's a good conversation." Fair prices, a friendly crew, and a deep selection make this one of the better spots to shop for a vape shop in Akron.

Stop in and see for yourself.
