VIP Smoke Shop - Chillicothe

Ask anyone in Chillicothe where to go for vapes and accessories, and VIP Smoke Shop comes up fast. This is one of the best-regarded smoke shops in town, and folks who stop in tend to become regulars. The first thing people notice is how clean and bright the place is, from the parking lot to the shelves inside. One person who came in for a grinder mentioned everything was spotlessly set up, and yes, there's a shop cat keeping an eye on things.

The selection is a big draw. Disposable vapes and vapes are stocked deep, with names like North Vision, Tyson Legend, and Raz on hand. For glass, they carry pipes and water pipes along with Puffco and Lookah, plus CBD and hemp products and a full run of smoking accessories. Locals will tell you the variety is hard to beat, and more than a few say the prices here are the best around, in town or out.

What really keeps people coming back is the way they're treated. The word around Chillicothe is that the staff answer questions patiently and never make anyone feel dumb for asking. One tall cashier in particular gets singled out for being friendly and genuinely knowledgeable, taking the time to walk people through the products. "Best smoke shop in town," is how one regular put it, pointing to the clean space, the good music, and the kind of easygoing energy that brings folks back.

We've heard the occasional grumble here and there, but the overwhelming sense from people who shop here is one of care and good service. The owner has clearly worked hard to build something, and the loyalty shows. The shop stays open late, which is handy if you're stopping by after work. If you're local and haven't been in yet, it's worth finding, though a few regulars warn the building sits back a bit from the road, so keep an eye out.
