Home / Lime 30 ml shortfill IQOS in San José: the wholesale shortlist

How we tested Lime 30 ml shortfill here

The honest read on lime: 6 units through the same routine over 7 weeks, and the difference between a good batch and a bad one came down to batch age, not the sticker price.

Lime sounds like one product. It is not: a 30 ml shortfill running varies will taste nothing like the same blend on a different device, which is why we test before we recommend.

Below is the run we did for this search: 6 units, 30 ml shortfill, same room temperature, same juice rotation. Where results varied, the variation is printed rather than averaged away.

What a lime 30 ml shortfill really costs in San José

A lime 30 ml shortfill from the bulk options in Costa Rica costs about ₡2.02 per 10 ml once delivery is counted. That number decides whether the habit survives the first month, not the sticker price.

How we tested lime in a 30 ml shortfill

1. Pick the 30 ml shortfill that fits the device already on your desk, not the one on the headline page.
2. Choose strength against the ceiling in Costa Rica, which is the local legal limit for retail here.
3. Order before 14:00 so the parcel leaves the same day and lands inside 4–9 business days.

• 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.
• Coil type inside the 30 ml shortfill, because mesh and wire age at different rates.
• Spare parts availability for 30 ml shortfill in Costa Rica, since tanks and pods go first.

Where lime goes wrong

• Matching strength to the device instead of the draw, which is why lime tastes flat after two days.
• Skipping the spare coil, which is the single part that decides how long lime in San José survives.
• Treating the advertised ₡61 entry kit as the real cost when refills run ₡2.02 per 10 ml.

The rules that apply here

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.

Wholesale lines to Costa Rica need import documents the retail shop does not; ask for them in writing before a bulk order.
