Comments on the packaging
The Classic range of BordO2, it is no less than thirty flavors intended primarily for new vapers but not only ...
Why ? Because the juices of this category have always been more fluid fluids, simpler and evolving perfectly in materials with smaller resistances so typically starters kits judiciously offered to first-time buyers.
This clientele is also more into smoking cessation than in search of complex and “worked” tastes, the taste buds not yet being totally detoxified from tobacco.
Yes, but now, the vape is democratized, like everything else.
Today's customer is more demanding and this taste category is no longer content to offer only unique flavors (mono flavor) or tasteless juices.
Logically, the creator of Bordeaux potions was not mistaken and this range which was previously in 80% propylene glycol (the flavor enhancer) is today made up of 70% PG and 30% VG.
If our potion of the day El Gringo is a mono-flavor, we will see later that these access ranges have evolved.
The vials are made of 10 ml of PET-type plastic and the products are based on four values ranging from nicotine free to 6, 12 & 16 mg / ml.
The rate generally found is: 5,90 €.

Vapelier's note regarding the respect of various conformities (except religious): 5 / 5 
Comments on the security, legal, health and religious aspects
The presence of distilled water and alcohol is not mentioned by the labeling, I deduce that the potion is devoid of it.
Regarding the logo with the skull, remember that it is mandatory in the case of an e-liquid 6 mg / ml but that its dosage is much lower than the caffeine contained in a cup of espresso while the effects are comparable.
All the items of our protocol being perfectly informed, the maximum note is acquired.

Comments on the taste of the juice
Nose and taste buds are in unison, El Gringo is a coffee potion whose surname could not lie.
The flavor is well transcribed by the flavorists at BordO2 and the “petit noir” is credible.
Not too strong, not too bitter, the whole is rather sweet but not devoid of a certain character. However, I hesitate, if I think I perceive a dominant Mocha, I would gladly opt for an Arabica and Robusta blend from South America.
The aromatic power, as the presence in the mouth are of an average value. Needless to say, the outfit is very pleasant.
If I usually feel a bit bored with coffee flavors, the quality of the aromas in this recipe allowed me to bypass it. At the time of writing, the 20 ml received for this evaluation have been locked for a long time.

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting
For once, I liked this juice on a dripper. It is however rare for such a ratio of PG / VG.
However, the El Gringo is perfectly at ease with atomization devices and the clientele targeted by starter kits.
Personally, I like this type of warm / hot steamed recipe.

My mood ticket on this juice
Like many other potions, the “coffee” flavor is one of the essentials of many catalogs of vaping manufacturers.
BordO2's El Gringo des Bordelais holds its rank in beautiful fashion thanks to quality aromas.
We could imagine a quality a little below and aromas boosted by a majority PG but it is not.
Consumers are treated with respect and this reference of a range yet accessible, enjoys a high standard.
A coffee, mild, slightly sweet, with a slightly dominant Mocha flavor, this is a good way to smoothly quit smoking.
As usual, health and safety issues are perfectly treated ... all you have to do is find a reseller - which shouldn't be too difficult - near you to form your opinion and especially add a line to your alldays favorites.
See you soon for new hazy adventures,
Marquolive.
