Both of these MEVIUS cartons carry the same purple Option 8 family name and the same live AUD amount, yet the catalogue lists them as two separate SKUs. This is a dated price observation for Australian adult tobacco shoppers comparing MEVIUS Option Purple 8 (SKU SS-355) with MEVIUS Premium Menthol Option Purple 8 (SKU SS-339). As observed on 15 August 2026, each carton is recorded at A$229.50 with a list reference of A$270.00. Prices are live records and may change.
The live AUD record
The table below is the current WooCommerce record for both products, read on 15 August 2026 (AEST). Both SKUs are in stock and priced identically at carton level.
| SKU | Product | Carton price | List reference | Stock |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SS-355 | MEVIUS Option Purple 8 – 1 Carton (10 Packs) | A$229.50 | A$270.00 | In stock |
| SS-339 | MEVIUS Premium Menthol Option Purple 8 – 1 Carton (10 Packs) | A$229.50 | A$270.00 | In stock |
The carton price gap between the two SKUs is A$0.00 on the observation date. That makes this less a price question and more a flavour-line question.
Exact identity and SKU
MEVIUS Option Purple 8 (SKU SS-355) is listed at https://www.vyrqexa.com/product/mevius-option-purple-8. The recorded product name is exactly MEVIUS Option Purple 8 – 1 Carton (10 Packs).
MEVIUS Premium Menthol Option Purple 8 (SKU SS-339) is listed at https://www.vyrqexa.com/product/mevius-premium-menthol-option-purple-8. The recorded product name is exactly MEVIUS Premium Menthol Option Purple 8 – 1 Carton (10 Packs).
When comparing cartons, check the SKU on the product page before ordering, because the two names differ by only the words Premium Menthol.
Price difference: A$0.00 per carton
On the observation date both SKUs show the same sale record: A$229.50 per carton, against the same A$270.00 list reference. The difference between the sale amount and the list reference is A$40.50 per carton for both, which the product page presents as the current discounted record.
Because the carton price is identical, the usual price-first comparison does not apply here. The decision comes down to which flavour line you are after, not which carton costs less. As with every Vyrqexa record, these amounts are dated observations: prices are live records and may change, so always re-check the product page before you order.
Flavour difference: Option Purple 8 vs Premium Menthol
The observable difference between the two product names is the Premium Menthol marker on SS-339. MEVIUS Option Purple 8 (SS-355) is the standard entry of the purple Option 8 family, while MEVIUS Premium Menthol Option Purple 8 (SS-339) carries the premium menthol positioning in its recorded name.
For Australian smokers who like comparing same-brand near-identical flavour lines, the practical question is whether you want the standard option profile or the menthol-forward profile. The catalogue pages do not publish a blend sheet, so this record does not speculate about the mix – the name difference is the verifiable fact. If you are weighing which is better for your next carton order, the answer starts with that name difference rather than the amount.
Origin and line notes
Both products sit in the Mevius category on Vyrqexa (MEVIUS carton category). Neither product page states a country of manufacture, so this record makes no origin claim. The line context is the same for both SKUs: they belong to the same MEVIUS carton family and share the Option Purple 8 base name. For the full MEVIUS carton price picture in Australia, see the MEVIUS Cigarettes Australia: 2026 Carton Prices & Flavours Guide.
Carton quantity basis
Both prices are per carton of 10 packs, not per single pack. A carton of MEVIUS Option Purple 8 (SS-355) at A$229.50 works out to A$22.95 per pack; the same maths applies to MEVIUS Premium Menthol Option Purple 8 (SS-339). Always confirm you are comparing cartons when you check the price australia-wide, because single-pack amounts look very different from carton amounts.
Which one wins?
On 15 August 2026 there is no price winner: both cartons record A$229.50. The choice is flavour-line preference. If you want the standard Option Purple 8 entry, SKU SS-355 is the one to record – its single-SKU price observation is logged in MEVIUS Option Purple 8: A$270 Carton Price Record (SS-355). If the Premium Menthol positioning is what you are after, SKU SS-339 matches that intent. For either choice, verify the SKU on the product page so you receive the exact carton recorded in this ledger.
How to verify your SKU and place an order
SKU verification is the anti-counterfeit habit on this site: compare the SKU printed on the product page with the SKU in this record before ordering. If the SKU does not match, do not treat the carton as the same item.
