Caramel 100 ml bottle IQOS in San José: the deals shortlist
Caramel in San José: 12 units tested over 4 weeks, 100 ml bottle formats, priced per 10 ml for Costa Rica.
Coil life, liquid cost and the caramel habit
If you are looking at caramel in Costa Rica, the first question is not strength. It is whether the 100 ml bottle you are quoting actually fits the device on your desk.
Caramel 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 ₡2.74 per 10 ml.
Below is the run we did for this search: 12 units, 100 ml bottle, same room temperature, same juice rotation. Where results varied, the variation is printed rather than averaged away.
What a caramel 100 ml bottle really costs in San José
Caramel 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 ₡2.74 per 10 ml.
How we tested caramel in a 100 ml bottle
- 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.
- Pick the 100 ml bottle that fits the device already on your desk, not the one on the headline page.
- The listed nicotine ceiling, which is the local legal limit in Costa Rica, not a suggestion.
- Batch code and production date, so a caramel bottle turned in 4 weeks ago is not sold as new.
- Stock depth: 12 lines held, so the shortlist does not turn into a special order.
- Child-resistant cap and tamper band on every caramel bottle shipped into Costa Rica.
Where caramel goes wrong
- Buying the cheapest 100 ml bottle available and repeating it because the first coil burnt.
- Treating the advertised ₡65 entry kit as the real cost when refills run ₡2.74 per 10 ml.
- Mixing caramel with a coil rated for a different wattage, which dulls the flavour and drains liquid faster.
The rules that apply here
Packaging for caramel in Costa Rica must be child-resistant, and the batch code has to be readable without cutting the shrink wrap.
Costa Rica regulates nicotine imports under its health authority. Shipping of nicotine to Costa Rica runs through tracked freight only, which is why the quoted window is stated per order.

Frequently asked questions
Why does caramel taste burnt?
Almost always the coil, not the liquid. On the 100 ml bottle units we ran, a coil past 7 days turned the caramel blend itself harsh.
How much does a 100 ml bottle cost per 10 ml?
On the last run in San José: about ₡2.74 per 10 ml liquid plus ₡65 for the entry kit, before any bulk discount.
What nicotine strength should caramel start at?
Start at whatever Costa Rica allows on the label. If you already smoke, drop one step; if not, half of it for a 100 ml bottle.
