How we tested salted in a 100 ml bottle
- 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.
- Pick the 100 ml bottle that fits the device already on your desk, not the one on the headline page.
- Spare parts availability for 100 ml bottle in Costa Rica, since tanks and pods go first.
- The landed price per 10 ml after 4–9 business days, which is the only number worth comparing.
- Clear PG/VG ratio on the label, which predicts throat hit more accurately than strength.
- Returns window and who pays return postage when a 100 ml bottle arrives sealed but wrong.
Where salted goes wrong
- Ordering in bulk without checking whether couriers in Costa Rica accept nicotine freight.
- Treating the advertised ₡48 entry kit as the real cost when refills run ₡1.79 per 10 ml.
- Matching strength to the device instead of the draw, which is why salted tastes flat after two days.

How much does a 100 ml bottle cost per 10 ml?
On the last run in San José: about ₡1.79 per 10 ml liquid plus ₡48 for the entry kit, before any bulk discount.
