Apple 100 ml bottle IQOS in San José: the budget shortlist
Apple in San José: 12 units tested over 8 weeks, 100 ml bottle formats, priced per 10 ml for Costa Rica.
How to tell a good 100 ml bottle from a repack
Ordering into San José usually means waiting 4–9 business days. Plan the reorder around that, not around the flavour you like best.
There is no single best way to buy IQOS in Costa Rica. There is only the batch that arrived, the coil that came with it, and whether the shop tracks the production run.
If you only read one line: the 100 ml bottle you buy decides how long apple tastes right, and the coil inside it decides how long that is.
What a apple 100 ml bottle really costs in San José
Apple prices move with import duty more than with brand. In San José that means the entry option and the premium option can close to within ₡2.35 per 10 ml.
How we tested apple in a 100 ml bottle
- Pick the 100 ml bottle that fits the device already on your desk, not the one on the headline page.
- Settle the draw first: mouth-to-lung or direct-to-lung, because it decides the coil and the liquid.
- Choose strength against the ceiling in Costa Rica, which is the local legal limit for retail here.
- Stock depth: 12 lines held, so the shortlist does not turn into a special order.
- Clear PG/VG ratio on the label, which predicts throat hit more accurately than strength.
- Returns window and who pays return postage when a 100 ml bottle arrives sealed but wrong.
- Batch code and production date, so a apple bottle turned in 8 weeks ago is not sold as new.
Where apple goes wrong
- Chasing a discount on a 100 ml bottle that then needs an adapter nobody in Costa Rica stocks.
- Assuming varies is uniform across brands, because two suppliers can label the same number differently.
- Ignoring the batch date on a 100 ml bottle and discovering the listed price was for old stock.
The rules that apply here
