If you are an Australian adult comparing Mevius cartons online, you will find three records that share the same family name: MEVIUS Option Purple 8, MEVIUS Premium Menthol Option Purple 8 and MEVIUS Premium Blueberry Blast Menthol Option Purple 8. All three belong to the same Japan-market Mevius line, all three are sold as one carton containing 10 packs, and all three are usually in stock. This guide compares the live Vaqlino records — what the names mean, how the flavour profiles differ, what each carton currently costs, and how to decide between them.

The three Mevius Option Purple 8 records at a glance
Vaqlino lists every product as one carton of 10 packs, and each product name states the exact variant. These were the live records on 7 August 2026:
| Product name | SKU | Flavour position | Sale price | Regular price | Stock |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MEVIUS Option Purple 8 | SS-355 | Menthol with fruit-flavoured capsule | A$229.50 | A$270.00 | In stock |

| MEVIUS Premium Blueberry Blast Menthol Option Purple 8 | SS-366 | Premium blueberry-flavoured menthol | A$238.00 | A$280.00 | In stock |
All three records were in stock at the time of checking, and all three show a sale price alongside the regular price. All prices are in Australian dollars. Note that the price is set per record: the premium blueberry variant is the only one of the three priced above the standard record.
What does “Option Purple 8” mean?
Mevius is the cigarette brand of Japan Tobacco, renamed from Mild Seven in 2013. The Option line is the menthol capsule family within the range: retailers of the Japanese-market line describe Mevius Option cigarettes as menthol cigarettes with a crushable, fruit-flavoured capsule in the filter, and the “8” in the name is the strength step used across the line (8 mg), the same strength family as MEVIUS Lights 8mg. The “Purple” part is the variant name that identifies this particular option within the range.
That is why the three records can look confusing side by side: they share the Option Purple 8 name and the same strength step, but each is a separate product with its own SKU and its own flavour position. The difference is in the flavour profile, not in the pack count — every Vaqlino Mevius carton contains 10 packs.
MEVIUS Option Purple 8 (SS-355): the standard record
The standard MEVIUS Option Purple 8 carton is the entry point to the family. As the base record it carries the menthol base and the fruit-flavoured capsule that define the Option Purple 8 profile, and it is priced at A$270.00 regular (A$229.50 sale). If you want to try the Option Purple 8 line for the first time, this is the record most shoppers compare the other two against.
MEVIUS Premium Menthol Option Purple 8 (SS-339): menthol-focused
The MEVIUS Premium Menthol Option Purple 8 carton is the menthol-focused member of the family. The name signals the premium step of the line, with menthol as the central flavour position. It lists at the same price as the standard record — A$270.00 regular (A$229.50 sale) — so the choice between it and the standard Option Purple 8 is a flavour-profile decision rather than a price decision.
MEVIUS Premium Blueberry Blast Menthol Option Purple 8 (SS-366): fruit-forward
The MEVIUS Premium Blueberry Blast Menthol Option Purple 8 carton is the fruit-forward premium record: the premium menthol base with a blueberry flavour step, as its name describes. It is also the only one of the three priced differently — A$280.00 regular (A$238.00 sale) — which makes it the top of the Option Purple 8 price range at Vaqlino.

Sale prices are set per record and can change, so confirm the current price on the product page before checkout. If you are comparing the strength side of the range as well, our Mevius 8mg vs 10mg guide covers how the 8mg and 10mg records in the Mevius range differ.
Which Option Purple 8 should you choose?
Choosing between the three is a flavour-profile decision, not a health decision. Start from the flavour you usually look for:
- If you want the standard fruit-capsule menthol experience that defines the line, start with the MEVIUS Option Purple 8 carton.
- If menthol is the flavour you care about most and you want the premium step of the line, the MEVIUS Premium Menthol Option Purple 8 carton is the record to compare.
- If you prefer a fruit-forward menthol with blueberry as the flavour step, the MEVIUS Premium Blueberry Blast Menthol Option Purple 8 carton is the fruit premium record.
Then match the exact record before you order. Similar Mevius names are separate products with their own SKUs, and a flavour variant is not the same record as a different strength record. Compare the whole line side by side in the Mevius brand category.
Shopping for Mevius cigarettes in Australia
Shoppers looking for Mevius cigarettes in Australia will find all three Option Purple 8 variants listed together in the Mevius category alongside the other Mevius records such as MEVIUS Lights 8mg and Mild MEVIUS 10mg Hard Pack. Vaqlino sells to Australian adults aged 18 and over only and delivers within Australia. Check the exact product name and SKU before checkout: SS-355, SS-339 and SS-366 are three separate records.

Bottom line
MEVIUS Option Purple 8, MEVIUS Premium Menthol Option Purple 8 and MEVIUS Premium Blueberry Blast Menthol Option Purple 8 are three distinct records in the same Option Purple 8 family: they share the name, the 8mg strength step and the 10-pack carton unit, and they differ in flavour profile and price. The standard and premium menthol records both list at A$270.00 regular (A$229.50 sale); the blueberry blast premium record lists at A$280.00 regular (A$238.00 sale). Compare the name, SKU and live price before you order — and remember that a flavour variant is a catalogue classification, not a health claim.
