Graphite starter kit IQOS in San José: the price shortlist
Graphite in San José: 15 units tested over 9 weeks, starter kit formats, priced per 10 ml for Costa Rica.
How to tell a good starter kit from a repack
If you are looking at graphite in Costa Rica, the first question is not strength. It is whether the starter kit you are quoting actually fits the device on your desk.
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.
If you only read one line: the starter kit you buy decides how long graphite tastes right, and the coil inside it decides how long that is.
What a graphite starter kit really costs in San José
Graphite in a starter kit is not the same product you see in a catalogue photo, and the price per 10 ml is where the gap shows. In San José the liquid, the coil and the power setting all have to agree before the flavour actually lands.
How we tested graphite in a starter kit
- Order before 14:00 so the parcel leaves the same day and lands inside 4–9 business days.
- Pick the starter kit that fits the device already on your desk, not the one on the headline page.
- Choose strength against the ceiling in Costa Rica, which is the local legal limit for retail here.
- Returns window and who pays return postage when a starter kit arrives sealed but wrong.
- The listed nicotine ceiling, which is the local legal limit in Costa Rica, not a suggestion.
- Coil type inside the starter kit, because mesh and wire age at different rates.
- The landed price per 10 ml after 4–9 business days, which is the only number worth comparing.
Where graphite goes wrong
- Ordering in bulk without checking whether couriers in Costa Rica accept nicotine freight.
- Treating the advertised ₡65 entry kit as the real cost when refills run ₡3.54 per 10 ml.
- Buying the cheapest starter kit available and repeating it because the first coil burnt.
