What to check before you buy IQOS

• Coil resistance printed on the head, not the device screen. If they disagree, the device firmware has changed the reading.
• Liquid colour under the bottle: clear to pale gold is normal for a fruit blend; dark amber usually means it has been sitting.
• Batch code on the box: the IQOS sold in San José should trace back to a dated production run, not an open lot.
• nicotine ceiling for the market. 17 is the practical cap here, and anything stronger is not sold legally.

How to choose the right IQOS in San José

1. Then pick Ohm's law. Under 1.0 Ω points to a mouth-to-lung setup, above it you are in direct-to-lung territory.
2. Then check the liquid ratio against the coil. A 70/30 blend in a 0.8 Ω pod wicks fine; the same liquid in a 1.2 Ω tank will spit.
3. Then price the fortnight, not the bottle. Coil life and ml of liquid tell you the real cost.

Mistakes that cost Costa Rica buyers money

• Chaining a sweet dessert blend at high wattage. Sweeteners caramelise on the coil and kill it in days.
• Storing liquid in a warm drawer. Heat is what oxidises a fruit note, not time.
• Buying the cheapest coil on the market. It saves a few units and costs you two weeks of taste.

Rules that apply here

Costa Rica regulates nicotine imports under its health authority. Product paperwork ships with the parcel, because a retailer in will ask for it eventually.
