Melon 100 ml bottle IQOS in San José: the cheap shortlist
Melon in San José: 18 units tested over 3 weeks, 100 ml bottle formats, priced per 10 ml for Costa Rica.
How we tested Melon 100 ml bottle here
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.
Melon 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 ₡2.07 per 10 ml.
Below is the run we did for this search: 18 units, 100 ml bottle, same room temperature, same juice rotation. Where results varied, the variation is printed rather than averaged away.
What a melon 100 ml bottle really costs in San José
Melon 100 ml bottle reviews tend to be written after one tank. We run 18 units and 3 days per unit, because that is where the honest answer changes.
How we tested melon in a 100 ml bottle
- Order before 14:00 so the parcel leaves the same day and lands inside 4–9 business days.
- Settle the draw first: mouth-to-lung or direct-to-lung, because it decides the coil and the liquid.
- Choose strength against the ceiling in Costa Rica, which is the local legal limit for retail here.
- Batch code and production date, so a melon bottle turned in 3 weeks ago is not sold as new.
- 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.
- Stock depth: 18 lines held, so the shortlist does not turn into a special order.
Where melon goes wrong
- Treating the advertised ₡65 entry kit as the real cost when refills run ₡2.07 per 10 ml.
- Ignoring the batch date on a 100 ml bottle and discovering the listed price was for old stock.
- Matching strength to the device instead of the draw, which is why melon tastes flat after two days.
