VIP Smoke Shop - Reading

Ask anyone who shops here and they'll tell you VIP Smoke Shop on Reading Road is the real deal. This is one of the highest-rated smoke shops around, and the reputation is earned. People drive in from all over, some coming clear across from Miamisburg and Middletown just to shop this Reading location, which tells you plenty about how folks feel about the place. A lot of that comes down to Adam, the owner, and the crew he's built. Locals describe him as friendly, approachable, and genuinely knowledgeable about everything on the shelves.

Eithan gets singled out too as one of the kindest and sharpest young guys behind the counter. The word around Reading is that the staff treat regulars like family, and more than one person has said they won't shop anywhere else once they've been in. The selection is what keeps people talking. VIP carries a huge range of vapes, disposable vapes, e-liquid and vape juice, with just about every brand you could want. There's a wall of glass pipes and water pipes, plus grinders, rolling papers and wraps, and all the smoking accessories to go with them.

Cigar lovers should peek into the cigar room in back. They also stock kratom, though we've heard the powder variety runs a little thin, mostly kilos. If you're into the details, they even carry incense, and the shop has some fun decor including a full-sized Egyptian statue that gives the place character. Prices come up again and again, and the consensus is they're fair and hard to beat. Regulars point to the Boss Club for exclusive member perks.

The shop keeps late hours, so you can swing by after work or on your way through town. As one longtime mod user put it, they set the bar for quality, service, pricing and selection. If you're looking for a smoke shop in Reading, this one comes highly recommended.
