Exeter Mart

Ask anyone around Reading who keeps odd hours, and Exeter Mart comes up fast. This is a smoke shop that never closes, open 24 hours a day, which makes it a real lifeline when you need vapes at 3 a.m. Everywhere else in town is dark.

That kind of round-the-clock convenience is a big part of why locals keep it in their back pocket. The vape selection is what most people come in for, and the word around Reading is that you can usually find what you're after here. Just as often, though, it's the guys behind the counter that get the praise.

We've heard them called some of the friendliest around, respectful and quick to help you track down exactly what you need. One person put it simply: "The Best Service." When staff leave that kind of impression, folks tend to come back. It's fair to say opinion isn't unanimous.

We've heard the odd grumble about a vape not holding up the way someone hoped. That said, the overall word on this place is strongly positive, and Exeter Mart lands among the highest-regarded smoke shops in the area. If you're looking for a vape shop in Reading that's open whenever you happen to need it, staffed by people who actually want to help, Exeter Mart is worth a stop.
