Iced 100 ml bottle IQOS in San José: the deals shortlist
Iced in San José: 19 units tested over 4 weeks, 100 ml bottle formats, priced per 10 ml for Costa Rica.
What the label on Iced is allowed to say
Iced 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 ₡2.09 per 10 ml.
We run iced the same way in San José: same 100 ml bottle, same 4 days, same coil resistance. The only variable was the coil, and that turned out to be the thing buyers get wrong.
The short version: iced 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 iced 100 ml bottle really costs in San José
The honest read on iced: 19 units through the same routine over 4 weeks, and the difference between a good batch and a bad one came down to batch age, not the sticker price.
How we tested iced in a 100 ml bottle
- Choose strength against the ceiling in Costa Rica, which is the local legal limit for retail here.
- 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.
- Batch code and production date, so a iced bottle turned in 4 weeks ago is not sold as new.
- Stock depth: 19 lines held, so the shortlist does not turn into a special order.
- Clear PG/VG ratio on the label, which predicts throat hit more accurately than strength.
- The listed nicotine ceiling, which is the local legal limit in Costa Rica, not a suggestion.
Where iced goes wrong
- Skipping the spare coil, which is the single part that decides how long iced in San José survives.
- Matching strength to the device instead of the draw, which is why iced tastes flat after two days.
- Chasing a discount on a 100 ml bottle that then needs an adapter nobody in Costa Rica stocks.
