Direct answer: on Yavexio, ESSE and MEVIUS are two separate brand families, and the practical differences for an Australian buyer are the price tier and the wording used in each listing name. The live catalogue (checked 8 August 2026) lists five ESSE cartons at A$184–A$216 and five MEVIUS cartons at A$216–A$232 per carton. Every record in both ranges is listed as one carton containing 10 packs. ESSE titles use format words such as “Super Slim” and “Change”; MEVIUS titles use “Hard Pack”, “Option Purple”, “Lights”, “Mild” and “Premium”. Match the full name and SKU before ordering.

Real differences to weigh before ordering
Price tier
Within these two ranges, only ESSE records sit at A$184: ESSE Change Mint Ice Blast 4mg, ESSE Lights Super Slim and ESSE Menthol (Mechanical Green) Super Slim. Every MEVIUS carton is listed at A$216 or higher, with MEVIUS Lights 8mg the most expensive of the ten at A$232.
Format wording
“Super Slim” appears only in ESSE names; “Hard Pack” appears only in Mild MEVIUS 10mg Hard Pack. Format words are part of the catalogue identity, not a health claim.
Flavour-line wording
ESSE names use “Double Applemint” (Orange and Wine) and “Mint Ice Blast”; MEVIUS names use “Menthol” and “Blueberry Blast”. These are the words the brand uses in the listing to identify the line. Treat them as identifiers: Yavexio product pages do not publish taste or experience claims in the catalogue data used here.
Identifier words
“Lights”, “Mild”, “Premium”, “Option”, “Mechanical Green” and the mg figures are name identifiers. Two records can share a word (for example “Option Purple 8”), so confirm the complete product name and SKU before ordering.
Which should you choose? A short checklist
- Set a budget. In these two ranges, A$184 cartons are ESSE records only; MEVIUS cartons start at A$216.
- Check the format wording. If you want a listing that says “Super Slim”, the two ESSE Super Slim records are the ones in this comparison; if you want “Hard Pack” wording, Mild MEVIUS 10mg Hard Pack is the record.
- Read the flavour-line wording. Decide which line name you want to investigate — Double Applemint Orange, Double Applemint Wine, Mint Ice Blast, Menthol or Blueberry Blast.
- Open the product page, confirm the full name and SKU, and recheck the current price and stock.
- Check delivery and adult requirements on Yavexio’s Shipping Policy before ordering.
