Plain mesh tank IQOS in Australia: the budget shortlist
Plain in Australia: 10 units tested over 8 weeks, mesh tank formats, priced per 10 ml for Australia.
Choosing a mesh tank for plain
Plain in a mesh tank 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.
Plain mesh tank reviews tend to be written after one tank. We run 10 units and 8 days per unit, because that is where the honest answer changes.
Below is the run we did for this search: 10 units, mesh tank, same room temperature, same juice rotation. Where results varied, the variation is printed rather than averaged away.
What a plain mesh tank really costs in Australia
If you are looking at plain in Australia, the first question is not strength. It is whether the mesh tank you are quoting actually fits the device on your desk.
How we tested plain in a mesh tank
- 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 Australia, which is 20 mg/mL for retail here.
- Pick the mesh tank 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.
- Stock depth: 10 lines held, so the shortlist does not turn into a special order.
- Spare parts availability for mesh tank in Australia, since tanks and pods go first.
- The listed nicotine ceiling, which is 20 mg/mL in Australia, not a suggestion.
Where plain goes wrong
- Assuming 20 mg/mL is uniform across brands, because two suppliers can label the same number differently.
- Ignoring the batch date on a mesh tank and discovering the listed price was for old stock.
- Mixing plain with a coil rated for a different wattage, which dulls the flavour and drains liquid faster.
The rules that apply here
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.

Frequently asked questions
What nicotine strength should plain start at?
Start at whatever Australia allows on the label. If you already smoke, drop one step; if not, half of it for a mesh tank.
How much does a mesh tank cost per 10 ml?
On the last run in Australia: about A$2.21 per 10 ml liquid plus A$63 for the entry kit, before any bulk discount.
Why does plain taste burnt?
Almost always the coil, not the liquid. On the mesh tank units we ran, a coil past 5 days turned the plain blend itself harsh.
