Home / Graphite RDA IQOS in Luanda: the review shortlist

How to tell a good RDA from a repack

Graphite prices move with import duty more than with brand. In Luanda that means the entry option and the premium option can close to within Kz2.95 per 10 ml.

Graphite RDA reviews tend to be written after one tank. We run 12 units and 3 days per unit, because that is where the honest answer changes.

If you only read one line: the RDA you buy decides how long graphite tastes right, and the coil inside it decides how long that is.

What a graphite RDA really costs in Luanda

Graphite prices move with import duty more than with brand. In Luanda that means the entry option and the premium option can close to within Kz2.95 per 10 ml.

How we tested graphite in a RDA

1. Pick the RDA that fits the device already on your desk, not the one on the headline page.
2. Order before 14:00 so the parcel leaves the same day and lands inside 8–15 business days.
3. Choose strength against the ceiling in Angola, which is the local legal limit for retail here.

• Stock depth: 12 lines held, so the shortlist does not turn into a special order.
• Returns window and who pays return postage when a RDA arrives sealed but wrong.
• The landed price per 10 ml after 8–15 business days, which is the only number worth comparing.
• Coil type inside the RDA, because mesh and wire age at different rates.

Where graphite goes wrong

• Treating the advertised Kz68 entry kit as the real cost when refills run Kz2.95 per 10 ml.
• Assuming varies is uniform across brands, because two suppliers can label the same number differently.
• Ordering in bulk without checking whether couriers in Angola accept nicotine freight.
