What a guava pod kit really costs in Nouméa

How we tested guava in a pod kit
- Pick the pod kit that fits the device already on your desk, not the one on the headline page.
- Settle the draw first: mouth-to-lung or direct-to-lung, because it decides the coil and the liquid.
- Choose strength against the ceiling in New Caledonia, which is the local legal limit for retail here.
- Stock depth: 24 lines held, so the shortlist does not turn into a special order.
- Returns window and who pays return postage when a pod kit arrives sealed but wrong.
- The listed nicotine ceiling, which is the local legal limit in New Caledonia, not a suggestion.
- Spare parts availability for pod kit in New Caledonia, since tanks and pods go first.
Where guava goes wrong
- Ignoring the batch date on a pod kit and discovering the listed price was for old stock.
- Mixing guava with a coil rated for a different wattage, which dulls the flavour and drains liquid faster.
- Chasing a discount on a pod kit that then needs an adapter nobody in New Caledonia stocks.
The rules that apply here

Frequently asked questions
How much does a pod kit cost per 10 ml?
On the last run in Nouméa: about XPF3.26 per 10 ml liquid plus XPF30 for the entry kit, before any bulk discount.
What nicotine strength should guava start at?
Start at whatever New Caledonia allows on the label. If you already smoke, drop one step; if not, half of it for a pod kit.
Why does guava taste burnt?
Almost always the coil, not the liquid. On the pod kit units we ran, a coil past 7 days turned the guava blend itself harsh.
