Two cartons, one price band, two different brand categories. Vietnamese Kent Switch (SKU SS-338) is A$221.00 per carton and Mild MEVIUS 10mg Hard Pack (SKU SS-370) is A$229.50 – close enough that the carton price alone will not tell you which brand category a record belongs to. This is the Xavriqo brand category boundary record for the pair, published 8 August 2026: which SKU sits in the Kent category, which sits in the Mevius category, and how to tell which is which before you order.
Mapped categories: Kent vs Mevius
On the Xavriqo catalogue, navigation runs from brand category to product record. The Kent category holds one record: Vietnamese Kent Switch – 1 Carton (10 Packs), SKU SS-338. The Mevius category holds five records, and the one most often confused with the Kent Switch is Mild MEVIUS 10mg Hard Pack – 1 Carton (10 Packs), SKU SS-370.
Category path for SS-338: Kent → Vietnamese Kent Switch. Category path for SS-370: Mevius → Mild MEVIUS 10mg Hard Pack. The displayed names sit in the same mid-price feel, so the category chip on the product page is the first boundary marker.
Boundary check: same price band, different categories
The Vietnamese Kent Switch vs Mild MEVIUS category difference is a price-band overlap, not a product overlap. Both cartons list in the A$220-230 band, which is exactly where the confusion starts. The boundary rule at Xavriqo is that a record belongs to the category named in the navigation, and the SKU is the exact anchor.
Four-step verification before you order:
- SKU – SS-338 is the Kent Switch; SS-370 is the Mild MEVIUS.
- Full displayed title – match every word, not just Kent or MEVIUS.
- Category chip – Kent for SS-338, Mevius for SS-370.
- Carton unit – both are 1 Carton (10 Packs), so unit size does not separate them; the SKU does.
The word Vietnamese is part of the displayed title of SS-338; it is a title word, not an origin or manufacturing claim, and we do not read it as one.
Identity check: SKU, carton and live price

Price comparison: what the A$8.50 gap means
The gap between the two cartons is A$8.50 – A$221.00 for the Kent Switch versus A$229.50 for the Mild MEVIUS. In the Xavriqo 2026 carton price picture for Australia, both sit in the mid band: below the top-priced records such as MEVIUS Lights 8mg at A$246.50, and above the entry band such as Double Happiness Soft at A$178.50.
If price is your first filter, the Kent Switch is the lower-priced record of the pair. But the price difference is not a category difference – the boundary is decided by the SKU and the navigation, not by the dollar figure.
Taste note: two profiles, one ordering rule
Taste is personal, and this note stays on taste only – no strength or effect claims. Regular Kent lines are often described by smokers as a balanced, straightforward profile, which fits readers who like a dependable character. MEVIUS records are usually described as smooth and mild, which suits readers who prefer a softer character. Let the profile guide your preference; let the SKU guide your order.
Catalogue context: what sits next to each record
The Kent category contains a single record: Vietnamese Kent Switch (SS-338). The Mevius category contains five records: Mild MEVIUS 10mg Hard Pack (SS-370), MEVIUS Option Purple 8 (SS-355), MEVIUS Premium Menthol Option Purple 8 (SS-339), MEVIUS Premium Blueberry Blast Menthol Option Purple 8 (SS-366) and MEVIUS Lights 8mg (SS-347).
Two related records help place this boundary: the MEVIUS Category Guide 2026 maps the full Mevius range, and the Kent category shows the single-record Kent scope. When a carton sits in the A$220-230 band, check which of these two categories it belongs to before you order.
How to order: verify the SKU, then message
To order either record, use the WhatsApp ordering path on the product page and send the full displayed title plus the SKU – Vietnamese Kent Switch, SS-338, or Mild MEVIUS 10mg Hard Pack, SS-370. Confirming the SKU up front removes the same-price confusion before checkout.
