Comments on the packaging
A new kid at Bordo2 with Hegoak, a balanced tobacco in a clear plastic bottle of 10ml. This conditioning is rather classic but practical, by the flexibility of the material and the fine tip that allows to adjust the dosage of your liquid on your assemblies.
As usual, the cap is sealed to the bottle to prove that it has never been opened, you will need to break it the first time you use it.
My vial for this test is 6mg / ml but the suggested rates are variable at 0, 6, 11 or 16mg / ml, depending on your needs.
The composition of this e-liquid is mainly based on taste, with a high percentage of propylene glycol since it is present at 70% for 30% of vegetable glycerin. It's a choice that surprises me a bit, for such a distinctive flavor that I personally use a lot for the cloud in a base inverse proportion. But why not, then think about it, it's pretty smart. Because in my beginnings of smoking cessation the taste or at least its strength of taste and especially this type of flavor are much more appreciated than the volume of vapor.

Vapelier's note regarding the respect of various conformities (except religious): 5 / 5 
Comments on the security, legal, health and religious aspects
The labeling of Hegoak is done on two levels. A first part is visible on the bottle with a second part that requires lifting the first to reveal all the inscriptions. Overall, we find all the useful information on the surface label, such as the composition, various warnings, the nicotine level, the percentage PG / VG, the capacity as well as the name of the product and its manufacturer. There is also a barcode right next to the expiration date with a lot number to identify this liquid if necessary.
The other part that is necessary to disclose is a leaflet providing details on the handling of the product, its storage, warnings and the risk of side effects. The cap is perfectly reliable and is an important point for the safety of children and the assurance of good protection.
For regulatory aspects, not all pictograms are present. Very big in a white diamond edged in red, we have that of the dangerousness with a skull widely recognizable, by the presence of nicotine. Next to it we can see the small-format recycling logo, but the pictograms intended to advise against the product to pregnant women and the prohibition of sale to minors are absent, unfortunately they are mandatory. I also regret the absence of a triangle in relief for the visually impaired on the label, even if such a relief is already present, molded on the top of the cap and barely noticeable.
Appreciation of the packaging

Comments on the packaging
Bordo2 offers a sober visual all in black and white, I find it even sad in his dress as dark. Especially since the inscriptions, even white, on a black background do not distinguish well. In foreground the name of the brand with its logo "Bordo2", followed by the name of the liquid "Hegoak" (The wings in Basque) and the rate of nicotine with the capacity. All around the bottle, on the lower part, there is a warning and on the last part in small we find the coordinates of the manufacturer, the composition of the juice, precautions for use, then the pictograms with the batch number and the DLUO and a barcode.
Under the visible part to lift, there is only one notice with inscriptions to inform you about this product, which is important to take into consideration.
The packaging is regulatory, with this double label. Not only to provide all the information but especially to keep a sufficiently readable registration format without the need for a magnifying glass and the organization of information is well done. Nevertheless, without drawing, photos or image, the graphics seems to me quite simple. The black background of the label annoys me a little, especially when you taste this juice, because the tones that correspond to it better, in my opinion, would be an amber caramel, a nutty brown ... an autumnal color.

Comments on the taste of the juice
At the opening of the bottle you can smell this tobacco perfume, without a doubt, it is lightly sweet blond tobacco.
On the vape side of course, it's a sweet tobacco that looks a lot like blond Virginia tobacco but with sweet and roasted notes. A little dry, it still keeps a round and comfortable aspect in the mouth. A very pleasant tobacco to vape with in the background like a sweet flavor of sweet and toasted hazelnut, which one feels, well after the exhalation, because this juice offers a comfortable length in the mouth.
This liquid diffuses its taste over time and offers a range of sensations in the mouth which extend from the moment of aspiration until after expiration. Sometimes dry, sometimes sweet and delicious, the Hegoak cannot disappoint fans of the genre!
The taste is powerful, you can feel the difference with a liquid in 50% PG and 70% PG. The intensity of the flavors accentuates the pleasure of a well-controlled composition.

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting
Hegoak is a fairly interesting juice that can be vaporized on all atomizers, clearomizers, tanks or drippers, in low as well as in high power. It is a liquid which keeps its flavor intact when heated and which offers a beautiful vapor despite its 30% vegetable glycerin.
The hit is not bad either and feels good in 6mg / ml, but beware, on a high power dripper, it feels more, you have to think about lowering your usual rate if you are vaping from 45W, or expect a rather “hard” hit.

My mood ticket on this juice
Hegoak is a blond tobacco of very beautiful composition, I hope that Bordo2 will have the good idea to market it in 2 x 10ml and will think about changing its visual for the packaging, improving the useful gaps concerning the regulatory aspects, because it is a real slaughter that juice!
Because even if this tobacco is a blond tobacco, it has charisma. Strong in taste, he has managed to reconcile this temperament with sweet and golden influences that soften the flavor and bring comfort. For those nostalgic for the killer, it is a rediscovered pleasure that is easily consumed with a coffee and if it is after a meal, cognac as a digestif will accompany it divinely.
For the cloud, it is obviously not qualified although the volume of steam remains correct.
Surprised and won over, this test ends with an empty bottle, because it is a good allday which it is difficult to do without when you have tasted it. BordO2 seems to have found the secret of “every-time-you-win-win” as the last liquids tested by the brand are so successful!
