Two MEVIUS cartons sit side by side in the Qorxiva route log, and their records look almost identical at first glance. Both are Option Purple 8 cartons from the same brand, logged as one carton of 10 packs, and both are in stock. The records diverge on flavour positioning, SKU and price. This entry sets MEVIUS Option Purple 8 (SS-355) and MEVIUS Premium Blueberry Blast Menthol Option Purple 8 (SS-366) side by side so you can tell them apart before you contact the Qorxiva desk.

Flavour positioning: the plain record vs the blueberry menthol record
MEVIUS sits on the smooth, mild end of the catalogue, and the Option Purple 8 line shares one base format. SS-355 is the straight entry: no extra flavour descriptor, so it reads as the base profile of the line. SS-366 is the Premium Blueberry Blast Menthol entry: the name signals a menthol profile with a berry (blueberry) fruit note on the same base. Neither record is an extreme; both stay inside the smooth, mild MEVIUS family. The practical difference is the accent: SS-355 is straightforward, while SS-366 adds the cooler, berry-toned menthol character. If you normally reach for a plain smooth profile, SS-355 is the direction to check first. If you prefer a fruit-toned menthol with a berry note, SS-366 is the direction to check first. Neither name is a health claim or quality ranking; both are positioning labels to help you pick the profile you prefer.
Price check: A$229.50 vs A$238.00 per carton
Price is a real difference here. MEVIUS Option Purple 8 (SS-355) is listed at A$229.50 per carton (10 packs), or A$22.95 per pack. MEVIUS Premium Blueberry Blast Menthol Option Purple 8 (SS-366) is listed at A$238.00 per carton (10 packs), or A$23.80 per pack. The gap is A$8.50 per carton, or A$0.85 per pack, and it carries into the regular list prices: A$270.00 for SS-355 against A$280.00 for SS-366.
The price record matches the positioning: the “Premium” entry with the extra flavour layer carries the higher listed price, while SS-355 sits A$8.50 lower per carton. The difference is small per pack but visible per carton. Prices change over time; the product page is the authoritative record.
Route check: slugs, canonical URLs and HTTP 200
Qorxiva is a slug and SKU route log, so the route is the point. MEVIUS Option Purple 8 resolves at https://www.qorxiva.com/product/mevius-option-purple-8, returns HTTP 200, and is bound to SKU SS-355. MEVIUS Premium Blueberry Blast Menthol Option Purple 8 resolves at https://www.qorxiva.com/product/mevius-premium-blueberry-blast-menthol-option-purple-8, returns HTTP 200, and is bound to SKU SS-366. Both routes are canonical without a trailing slash and sit under the MEVIUS brand category alongside the rest of the range.
For ordering, the slug is useful, but the SKU is definitive. Quote SS-355 for the plain record and SS-366 for the Premium Blueberry Blast Menthol record, and there is no room for the two to be mixed up.
Which one should you choose?
The buying call comes down to flavour profile and budget. Readers who prefer a smooth, straightforward profile with no extra flavour note should choose MEVIUS Option Purple 8 (SS-355) at A$229.50 per carton (10 packs). Readers who prefer a menthol profile with a berry fruit note should choose MEVIUS Premium Blueberry Blast Menthol Option Purple 8 (SS-366) at A$238.00 per carton (10 packs). Both are in stock and route cleanly to their own product record. Pick the flavour profile first, then quote the right SKU.
