As part of today’s availability check on 5 August 2026 (Sydney time), we compared two blueberry-style cartons side by side: Manchester Double Drive Blueberry Mint (SKU SS-1779) and MEVIUS Premium Blueberry Blast Menthol Option Purple 8 (SKU SS-366). Both are listed as 1 Carton (10 Packs) units and both show as in stock today. All prices below are in Australian dollars (AUD).
At a glance: A$250 vs A$280
| Detail | Manchester Double Drive Blueberry Mint | MEVIUS Premium Blueberry Blast |
|---|---|---|
| SKU | SS-1779 | SS-366 |
| Price (1 carton / 10 packs) | A$250.00 | A$280.00 |
| Stock status (5 Aug 2026) | In stock | In stock |
| Catalogue category | Manchester | Mevius |
The price difference is A$30.00 per carton, about A$3.00 per pack. For a shopper deciding on price alone, the Manchester Double Drive Blueberry Mint carton is the cheaper option today at A$250.00, while the MEVIUS Premium Blueberry Blast carton sits at A$280.00. Since both are available, the choice comes down to budget and brand preference rather than waiting for stock.
Recorded availability state
On 5 August 2026, both SKUs were recorded as available in the WooCommerce product feed: SS-1779 and SS-366 both returned an in-stock status during our API check. This is a dated observation, not a guarantee for later in the day — stock can change after an order is placed, so the product page remains the source of truth at ordering time. For readers who follow the Availability Change Notes category, today’s entry is a “both available” record; we do not predict restock timing or speculate about discontinuation.
Identity check
Before a price comparison is useful, both products need precise identification, because similar blueberry-flavoured names can be confused with other catalogue SKUs. Verified 5 August 2026 from the live WooCommerce API:
- Manchester Double Drive Blueberry Mint — SKU SS-1779, 1 Carton (10 Packs), A$250.00, category Manchester.
- MEVIUS Premium Blueberry Blast Menthol Option Purple 8 — SKU SS-366, 1 Carton (10 Packs), A$280.00, category Mevius.
The SKU is the reliable identity marker for ordering. If you see a similar name at a different price, check the SKU against SS-1779 or SS-366 before purchasing — the best habit for avoiding look-alike listings.
Brand context in Australia
Both brands have established recognition among Australian adult smokers, and this comparison treats each with respect rather than ranking one above the other. Manchester is a UK brand whose Double Drive line is familiar in Chinese-speaking communities across Australia, often chosen for straightforward pricing and a consistent carton format. MEVIUS is a Japanese brand — formerly sold as Mild Seven — known for refined packaging and a menthol-focused lineup such as the Premium Blueberry Blast. Neither is presented as “better”; this post only compares current AUD price, availability and identity.
Price difference in perspective
At carton level the gap is A$30.00: Manchester Double Drive Blueberry Mint at A$250.00 versus MEVIUS Premium Blueberry Blast at A$280.00. Per pack inside a 10-pack carton that is roughly A$25.00 versus A$28.00, about A$3.00 per pack. That keeps A$30.00 in your pocket per carton. If your question is simply “which is cheaper”, today’s feed is clear: Manchester Double Drive Blueberry Mint (SS-1779) is A$30.00 cheaper per carton in AUD. If brand preference matters more, the gap may be worth it.
Which should you choose?
Because both cartons are in stock on the observation date, this is a genuine choice rather than a stock-driven one. Three practical filters help:
- Budget first: choose Manchester Double Drive Blueberry Mint (SS-1779) at A$250.00 — the cheaper of the two today.
- Japanese-style preference: choose MEVIUS Premium Blueberry Blast Menthol Option Purple 8 (SS-366) at A$280.00 if the MEVIUS lineup matches your usual profile.
- Familiarity: Manchester cartons sit in the Manchester category, while the MEVIUS option belongs to the Mevius category.

How to verify your SKU before ordering
SKU verification is the core safeguard in this comparison, because counterfeit and look-alike listings are a real concern in the Australian grey market. Before you pay, confirm the product page shows the exact SKU from this post — SS-1779 or SS-366 — and that the price matches the AUD figure recorded here.
