Where to Buy Crave 5% & Crave Max Near Boston (2026)

If you have been searching for where to buy Crave 5% or Crave Max 5% near Boston and keep coming up empty — especially if you live in Somerville, Medford, Charlestown, or another city with flavored tobacco restrictions — the answer is Everett Vape and Smoke at 133 Main St, Everett, MA 02149. We stock the full Crave lineup along with every other major 5% nicotine disposable on the market, and we are open every single day from 9 AM to 10 PM.

Unlike many shops in the Greater Boston area that have pulled Crave 5%, Crave Max, and other flavored vapes from their shelves due to local municipal ordinances, Everett has no such restrictions. All flavored disposable vapes remain legally available at our store, and we maintain consistent stock of the most popular brands and flavors so you are not making the trip only to find your preferred product is sold out.

What Is Crave 5%? Understanding the Product

Crave 5% is a disposable e-cigarette that delivers nicotine at 5% concentration — equivalent to 50 milligrams per milliliter (50mg/mL). This is the highest commonly available nicotine strength for consumer disposable vapes and is designed for adult nicotine users, particularly those transitioning from combustible cigarettes or those who prefer strong nicotine delivery from a compact, use-and-dispose device.

The Crave line offers flavored vaping experiences in a ready-to-use format with no filling, coil changes, or charging needed (some models include USB-C charging for extended-use versions). Each device is pre-filled with flavored nicotine salt e-liquid at the 5% strength and is intended to be used until the e-liquid is exhausted, then disposed of.

Crave Max 5% is the higher-capacity variant in the same product line. While standard Crave 5% devices are designed for a set number of puffs, Crave Max offers a significantly larger puff count, making it more economical for frequent vapers who would otherwise go through standard disposables quickly. The 5% nicotine concentration is identical in both versions.

Why Crave 5% Is Hard to Find Near Boston

The difficulty in finding Crave 5% and other flavored disposable vapes in the Greater Boston area stems directly from a wave of municipal flavored tobacco ordinances passed by several Massachusetts cities. Here is the key context:

• Somerville was among the first Massachusetts cities to pass a comprehensive flavored tobacco and nicotine product ordinance. Shops within Somerville city limits can no longer legally sell flavored e-cigarettes, flavored disposable vapes, or other flavored nicotine products.
• Medford has adopted similar restrictions, eliminating the availability of Crave 5%, Elf Bar, Lost Mary, and most other flavored disposables at local retailers.
• Boston itself (including neighborhoods like Charlestown, South Boston, East Boston, and others) has implemented flavored tobacco restrictions that affect most Boston-area retail shops.
• Other Greater Boston communities have adopted comparable ordinances, creating an increasingly large geographic area where adult consumers cannot purchase flavored vaping products at nearby shops.

Everett has not adopted a municipal flavored tobacco ordinance. Our store at 133 Main St operates under Massachusetts state law, which does not prohibit the sale of flavored tobacco products at the state level in the way these local ordinances do. This means Crave 5%, Crave Max 5%, and all flavored disposables remain fully available at Everett Vape and Smoke for adult customers 21 and over.

Crave Max 5% vs Regular Crave 5%: Which Should You Buy?

Many customers ask about the difference between standard Crave 5% and Crave Max 5%. Here is a direct comparison to help you decide:

• Nicotine strength: Both are 5% (50mg/mL). No difference in nicotine delivery per puff.
• Puff count: Standard Crave 5% offers fewer puffs per device. Crave Max offers significantly more puffs per device, making it more economical for daily vapers.
• Device size: Crave Max is physically larger to accommodate the bigger e-liquid capacity.
• Price: Crave Max costs more upfront but works out to a lower cost per puff compared to buying multiple standard Crave 5% devices.
• Best for: Standard Crave 5% is good for occasional or moderate vapers who prefer a compact device. Crave Max is ideal for frequent vapers who want to go longer between purchases.
