Home / Apple pen device IQOS in Australia: the review shortlist

How we tested Apple pen device here

Apple pen device reviews tend to be written after one tank. We run 17 units and 3 days per unit, because that is where the honest answer changes.

Apple pen device reviews tend to be written after one tank. We run 17 units and 3 days per unit, because that is where the honest answer changes.

If you only read one line: the pen device you buy decides how long apple tastes right, and the coil inside it decides how long that is.

What a apple pen device really costs in Australia

Ordering into Australia usually means waiting 4–9 business days. Plan the reorder around that, not around the flavour you like best.

How we tested apple in a pen device

1. Pick the pen device that fits the device already on your desk, not the one on the headline page.
2. Choose strength against the ceiling in Australia, which is 20 mg/mL for retail here.
3. Settle the draw first: mouth-to-lung or direct-to-lung, because it decides the coil and the liquid.

• Clear PG/VG ratio on the label, which predicts throat hit more accurately than strength.
• The listed nicotine ceiling, which is 20 mg/mL in Australia, not a suggestion.
• Coil type inside the pen device, because mesh and wire age at different rates.
• Batch code and production date, so a apple bottle turned in 3 weeks ago is not sold as new.

Where apple goes wrong

• Ignoring the batch date on a pen device and discovering the listed price was for old stock.
• Skipping the spare coil, which is the single part that decides how long apple in Australia survives.
• Ordering in bulk without checking whether couriers in Australia accept nicotine freight.

The rules that apply here

Australia caps nicotine at 20 mg/ml outside legal prescription channels.

Retail sales in Australia sit under the same nicotine the label declares, which is 20 mg/mL. Anything above it is not sold through this channel.
