Both ESSE cartons on today’s comparison sit at the same price — A$195.50 per carton — so the ESSE Menthol Super Slim vs Change Mint Ice Blast price difference Australia shoppers search for is exactly A$0.00 in 2026. What separates the two is how their listing titles are recorded: one carries a parenthetical colour word, the other a number field and an ice-blast variant word. This is a field-by-field transcription comparison for Australian readers who want to know which carton they are ordering and how to read the listing title correctly.
Recorded title fields
The two product titles, exactly as recorded in the Xavqeno catalogue this week:
- ESSE Menthol (Mechanical Green) Super Slim — SKU SS-325 — 1 Carton (10 Packs) — A$195.50
- ESSE Change Mint Ice Blast 4mg — SKU SS-288 — 1 Carton (10 Packs) — A$195.50
Both titles follow the same family pattern: brand + variant words + size unit. The unit field is identical — 1 Carton (10 Packs) — and both are listed in stock this week. The differences live in the middle of the title, where transcription mistakes happen.
Parenthesis and number handling
The ESSE Menthol title keeps a bracketed colour word: (Mechanical Green). Under the Xavqeno transcription rule the parenthesis is preserved verbatim — it is part of the recorded identity, not a removable note. If a listing drops the parenthesis and shows only “ESSE Menthol Super Slim”, the recorded title no longer matches the catalogue record.
The ESSE Change Mint title has no parenthesis. Instead it carries a number field — 4mg — placed after the variant words Ice Blast. The number is transcribed exactly as written, in the same position. The key difference: one title’s extra identity sits inside brackets, the other’s sits in a number field at the end. Both are recorded fields, but they occupy different positions and are checked differently.
Field position summary:
- SS-325: parenthetical field (Mechanical Green) after the word Menthol; size word Super Slim; no number field.
- SS-288: variant words Change Mint Ice Blast; number field 4mg at the end; no parenthesis.
Price check: both sides at A$195.50
Live from the WooCommerce product feed, both cartons list at A$195.50. The ESSE Menthol Super Slim vs Change Mint Ice Blast price difference Australia buyers see on the product pages in 2026 is therefore A$0.00 — there is no cheaper side to pick on price alone.
For price-sensitive Australian readers this is the headline: when two cartons cost the same, the deciding factors move to the recorded title fields and taste preference. Both prices were read directly from the catalogue this week.
Identity check: the three-step SKU verification
Because these two ESSE titles look similar in a quick scroll, the wrong-product anxiety is best handled with a fixed routine. The three-step check used across the Xavqeno records:
- Check the SKU. The carton you want is SS-325 for ESSE Menthol (Mechanical Green) Super Slim, or SS-288 for ESSE Change Mint Ice Blast 4mg. The SKU anchors the identity.
- Check the full recorded title. Confirm the parenthesis and the number field are present in the right position — (Mechanical Green) on the menthol side, 4mg after Ice Blast on the change side.
- Check the carton size. Both records read 1 Carton (10 Packs); a different pack count means a different record.
Run all three steps against the product page before you message an order, and you remove the most common source of confusion between these two ESSE cartons.
Which one suits your taste?
On taste, the two records appeal to slightly different preferences — preference language only, not a claim about either product. The ESSE Menthol (Mechanical Green) Super Slim is part of the super slim menthol line that readers who like a light, clean menthol character usually reach for. The ESSE Change Mint Ice Blast 4mg carries the ice blast mint wording that readers who want a cooler mint hit tend to choose.
If you already know you prefer the super slim format and classic menthol character, the SS-325 record is the match. If the ice blast style of mint is what you normally buy, the SS-288 record lines up. Because the price is identical, pick by the recorded title you recognise and the taste profile you already enjoy.
Catalogue context and how to order
Both cartons sit in the ESSE category, alongside the other super slim and change-series records. The ESSE Cigarette Price & Stock Guide Australia published this morning covers the wider ESSE carton range; this comparison narrows the field to the two titles most often confused.

FAQ
Is ESSE Menthol Super Slim cheaper than ESSE Change Mint Ice Blast in Australia?
No — both cartons are A$195.50 in 2026, so the price gap is A$0.00. The ESSE Menthol Super Slim vs Change Mint Ice Blast price difference Australia shoppers see on the catalogue is nil; the choice comes down to recorded title fields and taste preference.
Does the (Mechanical Green) parenthesis change the product identity?
Yes, in the sense that it is part of the recorded title. Xavqeno transcribes the parenthesis verbatim; a listing that drops it does not match the catalogue record for SKU SS-325.
What does the 4mg number field mean?
Xavqeno records the number exactly as written in the title — 4mg after Ice Blast on SKU SS-288. This record does not interpret what the number represents; it only confirms how the field is transcribed and where it sits.
How do I check I’m getting the real ESSE carton?
Use the three-step check: verify the SKU (SS-325 or SS-288), verify the full recorded title including the parenthesis or number field, and verify the carton size of 1 Carton (10 Packs).
How do I order one of these cartons?
Message the store via the WhatsApp contact shown at checkout, and include the full recorded title plus SKU in your message. Both cartons are listed in stock this week at A$195.50.
