Vanilla 100 ml bottle IQOS in San José: the review shortlist
Vanilla in San José: 6 units tested over 6 weeks, 100 ml bottle formats, priced per 10 ml for Costa Rica.
What the label on Vanilla is allowed to say
Vanilla 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 ₡2.76 per 10 ml.
Vanilla in a 100 ml bottle is not the same product you see in a catalogue photo, and the price per 10 ml is where the gap shows. In San José the liquid, the coil and the power setting all have to agree before the flavour actually lands.
Below is the run we did for this search: 6 units, 100 ml bottle, same room temperature, same juice rotation. Where results varied, the variation is printed rather than averaged away.
What a vanilla 100 ml bottle really costs in San José
Ordering into San José usually means waiting 4–9 business days. Plan the reorder around that, not around the flavour you like best.
How we tested vanilla in a 100 ml bottle
- Choose strength against the ceiling in Costa Rica, which is the local legal limit for retail here.
- Order before 14:00 so the parcel leaves the same day and lands inside 4–9 business days.
- 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.
- Batch code and production date, so a vanilla bottle turned in 6 weeks ago is not sold as new.
- Returns window and who pays return postage when a 100 ml bottle arrives sealed but wrong.
- Stock depth: 6 lines held, so the shortlist does not turn into a special order.
Where vanilla goes wrong
- Skipping the spare coil, which is the single part that decides how long vanilla in San José survives.
- Ignoring the batch date on a 100 ml bottle and discovering the listed price was for old stock.
- Mixing vanilla with a coil rated for a different wattage, which dulls the flavour and drains liquid faster.

Frequently asked questions

On the last run in San José: about ₡2.76 per 10 ml liquid plus ₡45 for the entry kit, before any bulk discount.
Why does vanilla taste burnt?
Almost always the coil, not the liquid. On the 100 ml bottle units we ran, a coil past 7 days turned the vanilla blend itself harsh.
Is buying in bulk actually cheaper?
Not automatically. On vanilla the budget price and the premium price can sit within ₡2.76 per 10 ml once 4–9 business days is counted.
