Article content updated: 2026-10-19 | Information checked: 2026-10-19 | Price checked: 2026-10-19

Hello, I am Genki, a heated tobacco blogger.

Ploom's new release 'MEVIUS Tropical Option.' Hearing 'mango' makes you curious about the sweetness, but you also want to know whether the tobacco feel is light too.

This time we check the taste before and after crushing the capsule, how long the sweetness lasts, and how it differs from EVO's tropical stick. Comparing published hands-on reviews shows that while everyone agrees on the mango presence, opinions differ on the throat hit.

Taste and Price of MEVIUS Tropical Option

A Ploom stick equipped with a mango-flavored capsule. Rolling out nationwide starting 2026-10-6, it costs 590 yen (tax included) for 20 sticks. In published reviews, the fruitiness after crushing the capsule and the lightness of the tobacco feel are key points of comparison.

How Does the Taste Change Before and After Crushing the Capsule?

RELAZO's hands-on smoking reviewrates the taste and vapor before crushing as quite light, noting that crushing the capsule brings out a tangy mango flavor. Their impression is that the sweetness gradually fades and the tobacco throat hit is modest.

forIn Kakaku.com Magazine’s Smoking Comparisonrates it as adding a rich mango flavor via the capsule to a moderate tobacco feel and mint. Highlighting a sherbet-like fruitiness is another notable feature.

Comparison Point	Summary of RELAZO's Rating	Summary of Kakaku.com Magazine's Rating
tobacco	Quite light	Moderately felt
After Capsule	Tangy mango	Rich mango fruitiness

What they share is praising the mango change. On the other hand, how they perceive the underlying tobacco feel differs. Reading 'rich fruit flavor' and 'strong throat hit' separately makes this difference easy to understand.

How Does It Differ from EVO Tropical Lime Crystal?

In Kakaku.com Magazine, MEVIUS is described as focusing on mango fruitiness, while EVO Tropical Lime Crystal adds lime to mango. Both are tropical, but it seems premature to treat them as the same flavor at different price points.

Comparison Axis	MEVIUS Tropical Option	EVO Tropical Lime Crystal
Aroma Direction	Mango-centered	Mango and lime
Current Pack Price	590 yen	620 yen
Price Difference	30 yen lower per 1 pack than EVO	30 yen higher per 1 pack than MEVIUS

How you view the 30 yen difference depends on whether you want mango to take center stage or also want the tang of lime. At 30 yen per 1 pack, that is a 300 yen difference over 10 packs, but cheaper doesn't mean the same taste. The price source is the post-month 10 (October) revision list in the JT announcement above.

If It Feels Off or Unsatisfying, What Doesn't Match?

Judging from published reviews, for those who prioritize a cigarette-like throat kick above all, the balance between fruitiness and tobacco feel may not match. Those who want the sweetness to last a long time will also want to note the difference between the first and second halves.

I don't think you should sum up your rating based solely on 'liking mango.' Do you like sweet aromas, or do you also want a rich tobacco taste? Between these 2 criteria, the pros and cons of the same lightness flip completely.

Check Compatible Devices and Other New Releases

Even though it is for Ploom, it is not the same as low-temperature heated capsules or e-liquids. Please check combinations in theDevice and stick compatibility chart.

Rolled out nationwide around the same time,EVO Cacao Mint Crystalfeatures a shift of cacao and berry rather than mango. For regular-type sticks, check out ourComparison of Ploom's 3 Autumn-Limited Brands.

Summary of MEVIUS Tropical Option's Taste

What to look at with this new release is not only the mango after crushing the capsule, but how much tobacco feel you want underneath. Reading the rating differences in published reviews from that perspective is very helpful. Comparing before/after the capsule and the first/second halves separately is the key!
