Sour RDA IQOS in Australia: the review shortlist
Sour in Australia: 13 units tested over 5 weeks, RDA formats, priced per 10 ml for Australia.
Choosing a RDA for sour
Sour sounds like one product. It is not: a RDA running 20 mg/mL will taste nothing like the same blend on a different device, which is why we test before we recommend.
Sour in a RDA 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.
The short version: sour in Australia works if the RDA, the coil and the strength are chosen as one system. Everything below is what we measured while doing exactly that.
What a sour RDA really costs in Australia
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$2.29 per 10 ml.
How we tested sour in a RDA
- Order before 14:00 so the parcel leaves the same day and lands inside 4–9 business days.
- Pick the RDA 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.
- The listed nicotine ceiling, which is 20 mg/mL in Australia, not a suggestion.
- Spare parts availability for RDA in Australia, since tanks and pods go first.
- The landed price per 10 ml after 4–9 business days, which is the only number worth comparing.
- Coil type inside the RDA, because mesh and wire age at different rates.
Where sour goes wrong
- Skipping the spare coil, which is the single part that decides how long sour in Australia survives.
- Mixing sour with a coil rated for a different wattage, which dulls the flavour and drains liquid faster.
- Ignoring the batch date on a RDA and discovering the listed price was for old stock.
The rules that apply here
Wholesale lines to Australia need import documents the retail shop does not; ask for them in writing before a bulk order.
Australia caps nicotine at 20 mg/ml outside legal prescription channels.

Why does sour taste burnt?
Almost always the coil, not the liquid. On the RDA units we ran, a coil past 7 days turned the sour blend itself harsh.

On the last run in Australia: about A$2.29 per 10 ml liquid plus A$65 for the entry kit, before any bulk discount.
