Two MEVIUS cartons sit side by side in the Qorxiva route log, and their records look almost identical. Same brand, same Option Purple 8 family, same 10-pack carton unit, same in-stock status, and the same current listed price of A$229.50 per carton. The names are so close that a quick scan can mistake one record for the other: MEVIUS Option Purple 8 and MEVIUS Premium Menthol Option Purple 8. The real differences live in the flavour positioning and the SKU route. This entry sets the two records side by side so you can tell MEVIUS Option Purple 8 (SS-355) from MEVIUS Premium Menthol Option Purple 8 (SS-339) before you contact the Qorxiva desk.

MEVIUS Option Purple 8 is logged under SKU SS-355 at the MEVIUS Option Purple 8 product record. MEVIUS Premium Menthol Option Purple 8 is logged under SKU SS-339 at the MEVIUS Premium Menthol Option Purple 8 product record.

Same family, same unit, same price, same availability; the split is in the flavour name and the SKU route.

Flavour positioning: the base record vs the menthol-forward record
MEVIUS sits on the smooth, mild end of the Qorxiva catalogue, and the Option Purple 8 line shares one base format across its entries. SS-355 is the straight entry: the name carries no extra flavour descriptor, so it reads as the base profile of the line. SS-339 is the Premium Menthol entry: the name signals a menthol-forward profile, pairing the same smooth MEVIUS base with a more pronounced menthol character.
Neither record is an extreme; both stay inside the smooth, mild MEVIUS family, which is why the two are easy to confuse in a hurry. The practical difference is the accent: SS-355 is the plain, straightforward reading of the line, while SS-339 leads with the cooler menthol note. If you normally reach for a smooth, uncomplicated profile, SS-355 is the direction to check first. If you prefer a menthol-forward profile with the cooler note on top, SS-339 is the direction to check first. The names reinforce the split: the plain record stays plain, and the “Premium Menthol” label flags the menthol-forward entry. Neither name is a health claim and neither is a quality ranking; both are positioning labels that help you pick the profile you already prefer.
Price check: both cartons at A$229.50
Price is not the deciding factor here. MEVIUS Option Purple 8 (SS-355) and MEVIUS Premium Menthol Option Purple 8 (SS-339) are both listed at A$229.50 per carton (10 packs), or A$22.95 per pack. Both product records also show A$270.00 as the regular list price, so the two cartons match on the full price record, not just the current figure. There is no price gap to bridge and no budget reason to prefer one record over the other. 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 of the exercise. 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 Menthol Option Purple 8 resolves at https://www.qorxiva.com/product/mevius-premium-menthol-option-purple-8, returns HTTP 200, and is bound to SKU SS-339. Both routes are canonical without a trailing slash, and both 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 Option Purple 8 and SS-339 for Premium Menthol Option Purple 8, and there is no room for the two records to be mixed up.
Which one should you choose?
The buying call comes down to flavour profile, because the price is identical. Readers who prefer a straight, smooth profile with no extra flavour note should choose MEVIUS Option Purple 8 (SS-355). Readers who prefer a menthol-forward profile with the cooler note on top should choose MEVIUS Premium Menthol Option Purple 8 (SS-339). Both are A$229.50 per carton (10 packs), both are in stock, and both route cleanly to their own product record. Pick the flavour profile first, then quote the right SKU.
