Melon in San José: 10 units tested over 2 weeks, sub-ohm kit formats, priced per 10 ml for Costa Rica.
What melon costs in San José
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 ₡2.25 per 10 ml.
The honest read on melon: 10 units through the same routine over 2 weeks, and the difference between a good batch and a bad one came down to batch age, not the sticker price.

How we tested melon in a sub-ohm kit
- 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.
- Order before 14:00 so the parcel leaves the same day and lands inside 4–9 business days.
- Clear PG/VG ratio on the label, which predicts throat hit more accurately than strength.
- Stock depth: 10 lines held, so the shortlist does not turn into a special order.
- Child-resistant cap and tamper band on every melon bottle shipped into Costa Rica.
- Spare parts availability for sub-ohm kit in Costa Rica, since tanks and pods go first.
Where melon goes wrong
- Treating the advertised ₡42 entry kit as the real cost when refills run ₡2.25 per 10 ml.
- Ordering in bulk without checking whether couriers in Costa Rica accept nicotine freight.
- Assuming varies is uniform across brands, because two suppliers can label the same number differently.
