Apple 100 ml bottle IQOS in San José: the review shortlist
Apple in San José: 6 units tested over 6 weeks, 100 ml bottle formats, priced per 10 ml for Costa Rica.
Where buyers go wrong with apple in Costa Rica
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 ₡3.26 per 10 ml.
Apple sounds like one product. It is not: a 100 ml bottle running varies will taste nothing like the same blend on a different device, which is why we test before we recommend.
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 sounds like one product. It is not: a 100 ml bottle running varies will taste nothing like the same blend on a different device, which is why we test before we recommend.
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.
- Order before 14:00 so the parcel leaves the same day and lands inside 4–9 business days.
- Settle the draw first: mouth-to-lung or direct-to-lung, because it decides the coil and the liquid.
- Spare parts availability for 100 ml bottle in Costa Rica, since tanks and pods go first.
- Batch code and production date, so a apple bottle turned in 6 weeks ago is not sold as new.
- Clear PG/VG ratio on the label, which predicts throat hit more accurately than strength.
- A dated dispatch promise: before 14:00 same day, tracked, so no order is held to a warehouse cut-off.
Where apple goes wrong
- Chasing a discount on a 100 ml bottle that then needs an adapter nobody in Costa Rica stocks.
- Matching strength to the device instead of the draw, which is why apple tastes flat after two days.
- Assuming varies is uniform across brands, because two suppliers can label the same number differently.
