This is a dated AUD price observation for two MEVIUS cartons on the Vyrqexa ledger: MEVIUS Option Purple 8 (SKU SS-355) and MEVIUS Lights 8mg (SKU SS-347). As observed on 12 August 2026 (AEST), the Option Purple 8 carton is recorded at A$229.50 while the Lights 8mg carton is recorded at A$246.50 — a A$17.00 gap per carton.

This comparison is written for adult Australian smokers deciding between two close MEVIUS options, and it records amounts only. It does not judge taste, quality or health effects.
The live AUD record: two MEVIUS cartons on 12 August 2026
Both cartons were read live on 12 August 2026 (AEST) and both show in-stock status. The table below is the raw catalogue record — SKU, name, current AUD price and list price per carton of 10 packs.
| SKU | Product name | Current AUD price (carton) | List price | Stock |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SS-355 | MEVIUS Option Purple 8 | A$229.50 | A$270.00 | In stock |
| SS-347 | MEVIUS Lights 8mg | A$246.50 | A$290.00 | In stock |
Reading the table: the MEVIUS Option Purple 8 carton is the cheaper of the two today, and the MEVIUS Lights 8mg carton is the more expensive. The list prices tell the same story — A$270.00 against A$290.00. For a carton price comparison in Australia in 2026, the figure that matters is the live one: A$17.00 per carton.
Flavour profile: Option Purple 8 vs Lights 8mg
Both products belong to the MEVIUS carton range and both carry an 8mg strength marking in the name. The catalogue separates them by line: Option Purple 8 sits on the purple option family of the MEVIUS range — the same family as the Premium Menthol Option Purple 8 record (SKU SS-339) — while Lights 8mg is the classic lights line. In practical terms, an adult smoker choosing between them is choosing between the menthol option family and the classic light family at the same 8mg marking. This ledger records the names exactly as the catalogue lists them and does not add tasting notes or quality claims.

The price gap: A$17.00 per carton
The live gap on 12 August 2026 is A$17.00 per carton, or about A$1.70 per pack on the 10-pack basis. The Lights 8mg carton is roughly 7.4% higher than the Option Purple 8 carton at current prices. At list prices the gap is A$20.00 (A$270.00 vs A$290.00). Price-sensitive buyers comparing these two MEVIUS cartons in Australia usually ask which is better value; on the numbers alone, the Option Purple 8 carton saves A$17.00 per carton today. Whether that saving matters depends on which line you actually prefer — the price record simply shows the difference.
Carton basis and SKU verification
Both records are one carton containing 10 individual packs, not single packs. When you compare carton price in Australia, always confirm the unit first: every amount in this article is per carton of 10 packs. Before ordering, match the complete product name and SKU on the product page — SS-355 for Option Purple 8 and SS-347 for Lights 8mg. SKU verification is the practical defence against mismatched listings; the catalogue repeats the SKU on the product page, the image and the order record. A similar check was the subject of our earlier MEVIUS Lights 8mg vs Premium Menthol comparison.

If the budget is the deciding factor, MEVIUS Option Purple 8 (SS-355) at A$229.50 per carton is the cheaper record — A$17.00 less than the Lights 8mg carton. If you prefer the classic lights line and accept the higher amount, MEVIUS Lights 8mg (SS-347) at A$246.50 is the record to keep. Neither choice is presented as better in quality terms; the ledger’s job is to show the dated amounts and the A$17.00 difference so the decision is informed.
