How we tested mint in a starter 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 6–12 business days.
- Pick the starter kit that fits the device already on your desk, not the one on the headline page.
- Returns window and who pays return postage when a starter kit arrives sealed but wrong.
- Child-resistant cap and tamper band on every mint bottle shipped into New Caledonia.
- Batch code and production date, so a mint bottle turned in 7 weeks ago is not sold as new.
- Spare parts availability for starter kit in New Caledonia, since tanks and pods go first.
Where mint goes wrong
- Ignoring the batch date on a starter kit and discovering the listed price was for old stock.
- Treating the advertised XPF49 entry kit as the real cost when refills run XPF1.79 per 10 ml.
- Skipping the spare coil, which is the single part that decides how long mint in Nouméa survives.

Yes, tracked to 6–12 business days, with the same-day cut-off at 14:00. Bulk orders get an import note attached before dispatch.
How long does mint in a starter kit last?
In Nouméa we measured 7 to 16 days per unit depending on the coil. The bottle outlasts the coil, so the coil is what you replace.
