Frozen 100 ml bottle IQOS in San José: the flat shortlist
Frozen in San José: 8 units tested over 3 weeks, 100 ml bottle formats, priced per 10 ml for Costa Rica.
Ordering IQOS to San José: the practical version
Frozen in San José reaches the shelf in 100 ml bottle formats, and the flat-rate ones are rarely the ones that stay in stock. Availability, not taste, is what breaks an order.
Frozen 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 ₡1.76 per 10 ml.
The short version: frozen in San José works if the 100 ml bottle, the coil and the strength are chosen as one system. Everything below is what we measured while doing exactly that.
What a frozen 100 ml bottle really costs in San José
We run frozen the same way in San José: same 100 ml bottle, same 3 days, same coil resistance. The only variable was the coil, and that turned out to be the thing buyers get wrong.
How we tested frozen in a 100 ml bottle
- Choose strength against the ceiling in Costa Rica, which is the local legal limit for retail here.
- Order before 14:00 so the parcel leaves the same day and lands inside 4–9 business days.
- Pick the 100 ml bottle 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.
- Stock depth: 8 lines held, so the shortlist does not turn into a special order.
- Spare parts availability for 100 ml bottle in Costa Rica, since tanks and pods go first.
- Returns window and who pays return postage when a 100 ml bottle arrives sealed but wrong.
Where frozen goes wrong
- Assuming varies is uniform across brands, because two suppliers can label the same number differently.
- Buying the cheapest 100 ml bottle available and repeating it because the first coil burnt.
- Ordering in bulk without checking whether couriers in Costa Rica accept nicotine freight.

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.

Yes, tracked dispatch before 14:00, and delivery lands in 4–9 business days. Stock is batch-traced, so the bottle you receive carries a dated code.
How long does frozen in a 100 ml bottle last?
In San José we measured 3 to 8 days per unit depending on the coil. The bottle outlasts the coil, so the coil is what you replace.
