Home / Graphite 100 ml bottle IQOS in San José: the online shortlist

Stock, batch codes and the dispatch window

Graphite 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 ₡1.95 per 10 ml.

There is no single best way to buy IQOS in Costa Rica. There is only the batch that arrived, the coil that came with it, and whether the shop tracks the production run.

The short version: graphite 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 graphite 100 ml bottle really costs in San José

Graphite in San José reaches the shelf in 100 ml bottle formats, and the online ones are rarely the ones that stay in stock. Availability, not taste, is what breaks an order.

How we tested graphite in a 100 ml bottle

1. Order before 14:00 so the parcel leaves the same day and lands inside 4–9 business days.
2. Settle the draw first: mouth-to-lung or direct-to-lung, because it decides the coil and the liquid.
3. 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.
• A dated dispatch promise: before 14:00 same day, tracked, so no order is held to a warehouse cut-off.
• The listed nicotine ceiling, which is the local legal limit in Costa Rica, not a suggestion.
• Child-resistant cap and tamper band on every graphite bottle shipped into Costa Rica.

Where graphite goes wrong

• Mixing graphite with a coil rated for a different wattage, which dulls the flavour and drains liquid faster.
• Skipping the spare coil, which is the single part that decides how long graphite in San José survives.
• Ignoring the batch date on a 100 ml bottle and discovering the listed price was for old stock.

The rules that apply here

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.

Retail sales in Costa Rica sit under the same nicotine the label declares, which is the local legal limit. Anything above it is not sold through this channel.
