Mint pen device IQOS in San José: the price shortlist
Mint in San José: 24 units tested over 5 weeks, pen device formats, priced per 10 ml for Costa Rica.
What the label on Mint is allowed to say
The honest read on mint: 24 units through the same routine over 5 weeks, and the difference between a good batch and a bad one came down to batch age, not the sticker price.
Mint sounds like one product. It is not: a pen device running varies will taste nothing like the same blend on a different device, which is why we test before we recommend.
The short version: mint in San José works if the pen device, the coil and the strength are chosen as one system. Everything below is what we measured while doing exactly that.

How we tested mint in a pen device
- 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 pen device that fits the device already on your desk, not the one on the headline page.
- The landed price per 10 ml after 4–9 business days, which is the only number worth comparing.
- Spare parts availability for pen device in Costa Rica, since tanks and pods go first.
- The listed nicotine ceiling, which is the local legal limit in Costa Rica, not a suggestion.
- Coil type inside the pen device, because mesh and wire age at different rates.
Where mint goes wrong
- Buying the cheapest pen device available and repeating it because the first coil burnt.
- Ordering in bulk without checking whether couriers in Costa Rica accept nicotine freight.
- Mixing mint with a coil rated for a different wattage, which dulls the flavour and drains liquid faster.

Frequently asked questions
Why does mint taste burnt?
Almost always the coil, not the liquid. On the pen device units we ran, a coil past 5 days turned the mint blend itself harsh.
How long does mint in a pen device last?
In San José we measured 5 to 24 days per unit depending on the coil. The bottle outlasts the coil, so the coil is what you replace.
