What a vanilla sub-ohm kit really costs in San José
A vanilla sub-ohm kit from the value options in Costa Rica costs about ₡1.94 per 10 ml once delivery is counted. That number decides whether the habit survives the first month, not the sticker price.
How we tested vanilla in a sub-ohm kit
- 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.
- Choose strength against the ceiling in Costa Rica, which is the local legal limit for retail here.
- Batch code and production date, so a vanilla bottle turned in 4 weeks ago is not sold as new.
- Spare parts availability for sub-ohm kit in Costa Rica, since tanks and pods go first.
- Stock depth: 12 lines held, so the shortlist does not turn into a special order.
- Clear PG/VG ratio on the label, which predicts throat hit more accurately than strength.
Where vanilla goes wrong
- Ignoring the batch date on a sub-ohm kit and discovering the listed price was for old stock.
- Treating the advertised ₡47 entry kit as the real cost when refills run ₡1.94 per 10 ml.
- Matching strength to the device instead of the draw, which is why vanilla tastes flat after two days.
