Cola 30 ml shortfill IQOS in San José: the wholesale shortlist
Cola in San José: 16 units tested over 6 weeks, 30 ml shortfill formats, priced per 10 ml for Costa Rica.
What the label on Cola is allowed to say
Cola 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 ₡2.81 per 10 ml.
A cola 30 ml shortfill from the bulk options in Costa Rica costs about ₡2.81 per 10 ml once delivery is counted. That number decides whether the habit survives the first month, not the sticker price.
Below is the run we did for this search: 16 units, 30 ml shortfill, same room temperature, same juice rotation. Where results varied, the variation is printed rather than averaged away.
What a cola 30 ml shortfill really costs in San José
We run cola the same way in San José: same 30 ml shortfill, same 6 days, same coil resistance. The only variable was the coil, and that turned out to be the thing buyers get wrong.
How we tested cola in a 30 ml shortfill
- Settle the draw first: mouth-to-lung or direct-to-lung, because it decides the coil and the liquid.
- Order before 14:00 so the parcel leaves the same day and lands inside 4–9 business days.
- Choose strength against the ceiling in Costa Rica, which is the local legal limit for retail here.
- Stock depth: 16 lines held, so the shortlist does not turn into a special order.
- Batch code and production date, so a cola bottle turned in 6 weeks ago is not sold as new.
- A dated dispatch promise: before 14:00 same day, tracked, so no order is held to a warehouse cut-off.
- Spare parts availability for 30 ml shortfill in Costa Rica, since tanks and pods go first.
Where cola goes wrong
- Skipping the spare coil, which is the single part that decides how long cola in San José survives.
- Assuming varies is uniform across brands, because two suppliers can label the same number differently.
- Chasing a discount on a 30 ml shortfill that then needs an adapter nobody in Costa Rica stocks.
