Smokers Saver & Vape Shop

If you're hunting for a smoke shop in Dayton that feels like an actual neighborhood spot, Smokers Saver & Vape Shop has earned a loyal following, and it's easy to see why. Ed, who folks take for the owner, and John, who works the floor, run the kind of place where people come back not just for the products but for the conversation. One regular joked that John is as Liberal as he is Conservative and that they love giving each other a hard time, which tells you plenty about the easygoing, calm feel inside. Ask anyone who shops here and they'll point you to Ed and John by name.

The selection covers a lot of ground: vapes and disposables, e-liquid and vape juice, cigars, tobacco pipes, cigarettes, rolling papers, CBD and hemp products, kratom, and a good range of smoking accessories. This is also a real destination for the roll-your-own crowd. John has a reputation as the RYO expert around here, and people who shop here swear by his advice, along with a solid stock of tubes and tobacco. There's even a cellular phone business operating out of the same spot.

Value is a big part of the story. Locals will tell you the prices are among the best in town, with cigarettes sold at state minimum and fair pricing across the board, kratom included. One loyal customer went so far as to call it the best tobacco store in the Dayton area. We've also heard about the service going the extra mile, like the time someone brought back a defective disposable with no receipt and the staff dug up the transaction and swapped it out anyway.

The word around Dayton is that this is a clean, well-run shop with real variety and people who genuinely want to help. It's a longtime fixture in the Belmont area, and the folks who shop here are clearly hoping it stays put for a good while yet.
