If you are an Australian adult comparing Mevius cartons online, you will meet two strength records again and again: MEVIUS Lights 8mg and Mild MEVIUS 10mg Hard Pack. Both belong to the same Japan-market brand family, both are sold as one carton containing 10 packs, and both are usually in stock. This guide compares the two live Vaqlino records — what the names mean, how the 8mg and 10mg figures differ, what each carton currently costs, and how to decide between them.
Adults 18+ only. Tobacco contains nicotine, which is addictive, and smoking causes serious health harm. This article is a factual product comparison; it is not health advice, a reduced-risk claim, or a recommendation to smoke.

The two Mevius strength records at a glance
Vaqlino lists every product as one carton of 10 packs, and each product name states the exact variant and its mg figure. These were the live records on 6 August 2026:
| Product name | SKU | Strength label | Sale price | Regular price | Stock |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MEVIUS Lights 8mg | SS-347 | Lights, 8mg | A$246.50 | A$290.00 | In stock |
| Mild MEVIUS 10mg Hard Pack | SS-370 | Mild, 10mg | A$229.50 | A$270.00 | In stock |
Both records were in stock at the time of checking, and both show a sale price alongside the regular price. All prices are in Australian dollars. Note that price is set per record: the lighter 8mg carton is not automatically the cheaper one.
What the 8mg and 10mg figures mean
The mg figure in a cigarette product name is a machine-measured yield figure. Under standard laboratory conditions, a testing machine draws on a cigarette and the emitted smoke is measured for tar and nicotine content, expressed in milligrams. So “8mg” and “10mg” are the quickest way to tell the two strength classifications apart when you scan the catalogue. They are not a health or safety rating: a lower figure does not mean a product is safer, and what any individual actually inhales depends on how the cigarette is smoked. Our guide to what the mg numbers on cigarette packs mean explains the measurement in full.
The words next to the numbers matter too. “Lights” and “Mild” are strength labels used in product naming: they describe where a variant sits in the range and are marketing shorthand rather than health information. See our explainer on light vs mild vs full flavour labels for how these terms are used across the catalogue.
Lights 8mg vs Mild 10mg: how the records differ
- Strength figure: MEVIUS Lights 8mg carries an 8mg yield figure; Mild MEVIUS 10mg Hard Pack carries a 10mg figure — the highest figure in the current Vaqlino Mevius range.
- Strength label: the 8mg record is named “Lights” and the 10mg record is named “Mild”, which places the 10mg toward the fuller end of the line.
- Pack format: the 10mg record is a hard pack; the 8mg Lights record is a standard carton record. Both are one carton containing 10 packs.
- Price on 6 August 2026: the 8mg carton listed at A$290.00 regular (A$246.50 sale); the 10mg carton listed at A$270.00 regular (A$229.50 sale).
- Stock: both records showed in stock at the time of checking.
Which strength should you choose?
Choosing between the two is a catalogue decision, not a health decision. Start from the strength you usually look for: if you prefer the lighter end of the Mevius line, the MEVIUS Lights 8mg carton is the 8mg record; if you prefer the fuller end, the Mild MEVIUS 10mg Hard Pack carton is the 10mg record.
Then match the exact record before you order. Similar Mevius names are separate products with their own SKUs: MEVIUS Option Purple 8, MEVIUS Premium Menthol Option Purple 8 and MEVIUS Premium Blueberry Blast Menthol Option Purple 8 are all 8mg menthol variants, not the same record as MEVIUS Lights 8mg. Compare the whole line side by side in the Mevius brand category.
Finally, confirm the current price and stock on the product page, and remember that no cigarette — regardless of mg figure, strength label or pack format — is a safer option.
Before you order
Vaqlino sells to Australian adults aged 18 and over only and delivers within Australia. Check the exact product name and SKU before checkout: MEVIUS Lights 8mg is SS-347 and Mild MEVIUS 10mg Hard Pack is SS-370. If a listing is out of stock or the price has changed since this article was written, the live product page is the source of truth.
Bottom line
Mevius 8mg and Mevius 10mg are two distinct strength records in the same Japanese brand family: MEVIUS Lights 8mg (SS-347) sits at the lighter end of the current Vaqlino range, and Mild MEVIUS 10mg Hard Pack (SS-370) sits at the fuller end. Compare the name, SKU, mg figure and live price before you order — and remember that a strength label is a catalogue classification, not a health claim.
