Salted 100 ml bottle IQOS in San José: the deals shortlist
Salted in San José: 7 units tested over 7 weeks, 100 ml bottle formats, priced per 10 ml for Costa Rica.
Ordering IQOS to San José: the practical version
Salted 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 ₡1.68 per 10 ml.
A salted 100 ml bottle from the discounted options in Costa Rica costs about ₡1.68 per 10 ml once delivery is counted. That number decides whether the habit survives the first month, not the sticker price.
The short version: salted in San José works if the 100 ml bottle, the coil and the strength are chosen as one system. Everything below is what we measured while doing exactly that.
What a salted 100 ml bottle really costs in San José
Salted 100 ml bottle reviews tend to be written after one tank. We run 7 units and 7 days per unit, because that is where the honest answer changes.
How we tested salted in a 100 ml bottle
- 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.
- Order before 14:00 so the parcel leaves the same day and lands inside 4–9 business days.
- A dated dispatch promise: before 14:00 same day, tracked, so no order is held to a warehouse cut-off.
- The listed nicotine ceiling, which is the local legal limit in Costa Rica, not a suggestion.
- Coil type inside the 100 ml bottle, because mesh and wire age at different rates.
- Child-resistant cap and tamper band on every salted bottle shipped into Costa Rica.
Where salted goes wrong
- Skipping the spare coil, which is the single part that decides how long salted in San José survives.
- Buying the cheapest 100 ml bottle available and repeating it because the first coil burnt.
- Chasing a discount on a 100 ml bottle that then needs an adapter nobody in Costa Rica stocks.
