Sour cartomizer IQOS in Australia: the compare shortlist
Sour in Australia: 10 units tested over 9 weeks, cartomizer formats, priced per 10 ml for Australia.
What the label on Sour is allowed to say
Sour prices move with import duty more than with brand. In Australia that means the entry option and the premium option can close to within A$3.16 per 10 ml.
Sour in Australia reaches the shelf in cartomizer formats, and the compared ones are rarely the ones that stay in stock. Availability, not taste, is what breaks an order.
Below is the run we did for this search: 10 units, cartomizer, same room temperature, same juice rotation. Where results varied, the variation is printed rather than averaged away.
What a sour cartomizer really costs in Australia
Sour in a cartomizer is not the same product you see in a catalogue photo, and the price per 10 ml is where the gap shows. In Australia the liquid, the coil and the power setting all have to agree before the flavour actually lands.
How we tested sour in a cartomizer
- 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.
- Pick the cartomizer that fits the device already on your desk, not the one on the headline page.
- Clear PG/VG ratio on the label, which predicts throat hit more accurately than strength.
- Returns window and who pays return postage when a cartomizer arrives sealed but wrong.
- Coil type inside the cartomizer, because mesh and wire age at different rates.
- The listed nicotine ceiling, which is 20 mg/mL in Australia, not a suggestion.
Where sour goes wrong
- Treating the advertised A$33 entry kit as the real cost when refills run A$3.16 per 10 ml.
- Matching strength to the device instead of the draw, which is why sour tastes flat after two days.
- Buying the cheapest cartomizer available and repeating it because the first coil burnt.
The rules that apply here
