The Vape Connection

The Vape Connection sits right in Oil City, and being open 24 hours makes it easy to swing by whenever the need hits. Locals in Venango County will tell you the selection is a big part of the draw. You'll find vapes and disposables, e-liquid and vape juice, glass pipes and water pipes, CBD and hemp products, cigarettes, and the smoking accessories to round it all out. Ask anyone who shops here and they'll point to the range of rigs and glass on hand.

Word around Oil City is that the staff know their stuff. Regulars talk up how helpful and easygoing the crew can be, and more than a few folks stop in as much for the vibe as the goods. There's even a shop cat, Kush Cat, who sometimes roams the floor, and people love giving her a pet when she's out. One happy regular summed it up by saying Oil City is fortunate to have the place within walking distance for most of the neighborhood.

Now, we'll be straight with you: locals are a little split on this one. Some feel the glass runs a touch pricey, and we've heard the occasional grumble about the exchange policy and how a return gets handled. The general word is that trying anything before you leave the store is the safer bet. Still, plenty of people keep coming back, and the overall reputation around town holds up decent.

For a smoke shop in Oil City that's open 24/7 with a broad selection, The Vape Connection stays on the map for a lot of folks here.
