Super slim and king size are two different cigarette formats, and the difference matters when you are reading a carton listing. In short: a king size cigarette is the standard-length filter cigarette — typically around 84 mm long including the filter — while a super slim cigarette is the noticeably thinner format with a long, slim profile. The format label describes the size and shape of the cigarette; it is separate from the nicotine strength (mg), the flavour and the pack quantity.
This guide compares the two formats for Australian adult smokers, shows which Yavexio cartons match each format, and explains how to check a listing before you order. Yavexio is an adult tobacco catalogue for people aged 18 and over. Smoking is harmful.
What is a super slim cigarette?
A super slim cigarette is a cigarette format named for its noticeably thinner body. On Yavexio the format appears as part of the full product title, for example ESSE Lights Super Slim – 1 Carton (10 Packs) and ESSE Menthol (Mechanical Green) Super Slim – 1 Carton (10 Packs).
Super slim is a format label, not a specification sheet. It helps you identify the shape of the cigarette, but by itself it does not tell you the nicotine strength, the flavour or the exact dimensions of a particular pack. When a listing says “super slim”, read the label together with the rest of the title, the SKU and the live product page.
What is a king size cigarette?
King size — often shortened to KS on a listing — describes the standard-length filter cigarette. It is typically around 84 mm long including the filter, sits between the older “regular” length class (roughly 70–75 mm) and the longer “100s” class (roughly 100 mm), and is one of the most common size labels on an online tobacco catalogue. Those figures are approximate industry conventions; exact lengths vary by brand and market.
On Yavexio the label appears in titles such as Marlboro Vista Tropical Splash KS Box Cigarettes – 1 Carton (10 Packs). As with super slim, the size label tells you the length class — not the brand, flavour or nicotine strength. The guide What Does King Size Mean in a Cigarette Listing? explains the term and the approximate length conventions in more detail.

Which format should you order?
There is no universally “better” format — it comes down to which listing matches what you want. Use this checklist:
- Read the full product title, not just the format word: brand, variant, format (super slim or KS) and the sale unit.
- Note the SKU so you can refer to the exact record in later checks.
- Confirm the price is for 1 carton (10 packs) — every carton listing in the current Yavexio catalogue states that quantity.
- Compare like for like: same brand family, and the same strength label (mg) where the listing shows one.
- Decide on the format itself: a thinner, slimmer profile (super slim) versus a standard king size length.
- If you are not sure a record matches what you want, ask Yavexio support before you order.

Frequently asked questions
Are super slim cigarettes weaker than king size cigarettes?
No — the format label describes the size and shape of the cigarette, not its strength. Where a listing shows nicotine content, it appears as a separate label (for example 4mg, 8mg or 10mg). Read the full title and SKU instead of assuming a format means a particular strength.
How many packs are in a carton?
Every carton listing in the current Yavexio catalogue states 1 carton (10 packs). The displayed carton price is for the complete 10-pack carton, not a single pack.
Do I need to be 18 or older to order from Yavexio?
Yes. Yavexio is an adult tobacco catalogue, and its listings and guides are intended for Australian adults aged 18 and over. Complete the site’s age and ID checks when you order. If you have questions about a listing, contact Yavexio support.
