Blackcurrant 30 ml shortfill IQOS in San José: the budget shortlist — Iqoscostarica
Blackcurrant in San José: 6 units tested over 3 weeks, 30 ml shortfill formats, priced per 10 ml for Costa Rica.
How to tell a good 30 ml shortfill from a repack
Blackcurrant in San José reaches the shelf in 30 ml shortfill formats, and the budget ones are rarely the ones that stay in stock. Availability, not taste, is what breaks an order.
If you are looking at blackcurrant in Costa Rica, the first question is not strength. It is whether the 30 ml shortfill you are quoting actually fits the device on your desk.
If you only read one line: the 30 ml shortfill you buy decides how long blackcurrant tastes right, and the coil inside it decides how long that is.
What a blackcurrant 30 ml shortfill really costs in San José
Ordering into San José usually means waiting 4–9 business days. Plan the reorder around that, not around the flavour you like best.
How we tested blackcurrant in a 30 ml shortfill
- Choose strength against the ceiling in Costa Rica, which is the local legal limit for retail here.
- Settle the draw first: mouth-to-lung or direct-to-lung, because it decides the coil and the liquid.
- Pick the 30 ml shortfill that fits the device already on your desk, not the one on the headline page.
- The landed price per 10 ml after 4–9 business days, which is the only number worth comparing.
- A dated dispatch promise: before 14:00 same day, tracked, so no order is held to a warehouse cut-off.
- Batch code and production date, so a blackcurrant bottle turned in 3 weeks ago is not sold as new.
- Coil type inside the 30 ml shortfill, because mesh and wire age at different rates.
Where blackcurrant goes wrong
- Buying the cheapest 30 ml shortfill available and repeating it because the first coil burnt.
- Matching strength to the device instead of the draw, which is why blackcurrant tastes flat after two days.
- Treating the advertised ₡61 entry kit as the real cost when refills run ₡3.14 per 10 ml.

In San José we measured 3 to 6 days per unit depending on the coil. The bottle outlasts the coil, so the coil is what you replace.
