So last week while on vacation (visiting my in-laws up in the Owen Sound area) I went to visit Chris from http://eCultureStore.com in his store up in the Markdale area (about 30 minutes away from Owen Sound).
Its a very nice store in a quite little town. On one side of the store is a VERY large selection of K-Cup coffee's. On the other side is a very nice selection of E-Cigs in nice glass cases. On the wall there is also a letter from their MP (and something else that I could not remember).
So after taking a quick look over everything I went up to the counter and introduced myself to Chris at which point we started to talk. I was offered a coffee on the house (I selected a very yummy donuts shop coffee).
The selection of products Chris offers is good. There are eGo kits (genuine Joye eGo's) in a variety of colours and a number of accessories (chargers, cases, drip tips, atomizers... etc). As well as some interesting products, a disposable E-Cigar (not really my cup of tea but interesting).
My experience in store was amazing. Chris is an awesome vendor/host and is definitely worth the trip (if you are in the area) and/or your business online.

Now onto my review of his juice...

So I picked up 3 juices to try. Cola (I still have yet to try), Cherry Cigarello, and Vanilla Cigarello all at 18mg.

Before I drove away from the store I put on my freshly cleaned 2.5 ohm SMOKtech 510 Wide-bridge Atty and dripped the Vanilla Cigarello. I use this on my Happy eGo USB Passthrough Battery & The Ego Booster (set at 4V my sweet spot). On the first pull of this I was truly amazed at the flavour. I am a huge vanilla fan and the flavour was exactly like a Vanilla Cigarello that I use to smoke. The Cigarello flavoring was also right on the money and not over powering. The TH definitely packs a punch and the vapor production is great.
This is definitely an all day vape for me (especially since I can't put it down) before I leave for work I have to make sure I have my pump cart filled with this juice.

As for the Cherry Cigarello since my regular atty is being used (and my other 2 will not fire) I decided to try this on one of my new GotVapes Sapphire Hybrid 1.5ml Tank System (2.5ohm). Now to preface this I have tried several Cherry flavors from a couple of different vendors. So I loaded this one up and crossed my fingers and took a pull.... much to my disappointment a chemical type taste much the same as the other cherry flavors I have tried. There is still a small hint of the cigarello flavoring but it is definitely hard to taste.
BUT even with that being said I still did vape the whole tank I filled, I did try adjusting the voltage from 3.3 all the way up to 4.7 and the taste did not improve much. I will be revisiting this juice once I perform a proper cleaning on my atty and a CE2 as I do not want any flavors to mix. (Just also to add in-case someone may think its the tank I used. I did fill it up with another juice without cleaning and it was perfectly fine with that tank and that other juice... it just may not have liked this juice).

As for the cola as I said above I am still waiting to try it. I really haven't had much time (who would have though I would have to go back to work just to get some free time) in the past week during my summer vacation.

All and all I am very happy with the service I received from Chris and highly recommend his store to anyone thinking about trying one of his products. He really is a great vendor.

Thanks kalvinf, yeah the drive is good, this will be a good enough reason for me to "enjoy" going to visit the in-laws.
I especially enjoy going through Mount Forest :laugh:

Wow the vanilla cigarello sounds to DIE FOR! I didn't ever get that cherry chemical taste though before, but I have only tried juicy clear black cherry tobacco, and that was the only cherry I have had. And it was really good. I used to love my primetimes back in the day, and these really sound like winners to me! Let us know what you think of cola! I love cola's omg..I do make a mean PA DIY cola..it's soooooooo good! You can even taste the bubbles in it, and it feels so carbonated, and so rich with cola flavor.
 
Zer0ith, you really did nail the operation Chris has going in your review. I'm based in Markdale as well just a couple of stores away from his with an antiques shop. I was really happy to see Chris open his store and I was in there to get myself an eGo-T kit shortly after. It was my ticket to an "instant quit" from the smoking and he has a customer for life in me. His selection and service is indeed excellent...now if I could just talk him into opening Sundays like we do:D It is really good to have a brick and mortar e-cig vendor so close to home so I never have to wait for any shipping. Great addition to the business community Chris, stick with it.

Update: So I ended up cleaning out my atty and a CE2 to test out the Cherry and Cola that I got.
Dripping on the 510 still presented me with that chemical type taste. I tried bumping the voltage around and still have not really taken a liking to this flavour. Next I filled up my CE2 and gave it a test. Sadly still has that chemical taste, there is a hint of cherry however. When I pumped the voltage up to 4.7 using the ego booster there was a lot less chemical taste. TH and vapour production has been good throughout.
I guess I am just cursed to not have a good cherry vape.

I tried out the Cola today, dripping on my atty. The flavour is very much "red cola" flavour, with a slight nutty hint to it. I don't get the "bubble" experience from this one as I have in the past with other cola's. TH and vapour production is also just as great as the others. However I am still a little 50/50 on this one. Its not bad, but its not great. Perhaps this one is just a little dry for my tastes.

That is so fantastic!!! I wish his store was near me, I would sooooo love to try some of the cigerello's. I will have to place an order there soon! Nice for you to be a hop, skip and a jump away! I am sooooooo jealous. So glad though that the ego t from his store got you off the analogs too. Love hearing the testimony's of how vaping made you quit!

I think it's great that people are selling products from brick and mortar stores, there's nothing like going to the store :) I'm lucky to have a guy here in my city who I send an email to and he comes to my place of work the next day with the stuff, instead of having to order online. It's not that there's anything wrong with ordering online but I definitely prefer the good old fashioned face to face service ;)
