Hello, I am Genki, a heated tobacco blogger.

Even within the same mango family, how does adding lime change the experience? Let’s examine "EVO Tropical Lime Crystal" while comparing it with MEVIUS’s tropical flavor and Cacao Mint.

Characteristics and Current Price of Tropical Lime

A Ploom stick variety built on a mango flavor base that adds lime via a capsule. Released on 2026-2-3 at the official online shop and select stores. Its 20-stick price after the month-10 revision is 620 yen, which differs from its initial launch price.

Did the New Lime Flavor Launch in Month 10? Organizing Release Date and Price

Item	Verified Details
Manufacturer-Announced Release Date	2026-2-3
Initial Sales Channels at Launch	CLUB JT Online Shop / Ploom Shop
Price After Month 10 Revision	20 sticks for 620 yen (tax included)
Flavor Design	Mango flavor base with a lime capsule

We do not list the 550 yen price from the month 2 launch announcement as the current price. Likewise, we do not automatically apply the month 10 nationwide expansion of Cacao Mint—which came from the same voting campaign—to Tropical Lime.

What Is the Flavor Before and After the Capsule? Roles of Mango and Lime

The manufacturer describes a structure where a lime capsule layers over mango. Because this differs from "a uniform lime flavor continuing from start to finish," it is best to compare before and after crushing the capsule separately.

In Kakaku.com Magazine’s Smoking Comparison, it is evaluated as a crisp flavor where the tartness of lime joins mango and menthol steps forward ahead of tropical sweetness. The citrus acidity of lime is also described in combination with mango.

I think the positioning of this stick becomes much clearer if you separate whether you are looking for pure mango sweetness or want to change the aftertaste with lime. Having a sweet aroma is not the same as being purely sweet all the way to the end.

Differences from MEVIUS Tropical Option

Comparison items	EVO Tropical Lime	MEVIUS Tropical Option
Flavor Design	Mango and lime	Centered on mango
Month 10 Pack Price	620 yen	590 yen
Difference per 1 Pack	30 yen higher than MEVIUS	30 yen lower than EVO

Both belong to the mango family, but the axis of comparison changes depending on whether you want the lime transition. Rather than viewing the 30 yen difference as "expensive vs. cheap for the same flavor," looking at aroma structure and draw satisfaction separately makes it easier to judge which suits your taste.

For MEVIUS, public reviews also showed differences in how the tobacco note is perceived. For details, see ourMEVIUS Tropical Option Flavor Comparison. If you want to compare bitterness and berry transitions, please also check outEVO Cacao Mint Crystal.

What Kind of Preferences Might Not Suit It?

Judging from the direction of public reviews, those expecting only rich mango sweetness may find the menthol and lime acidity different from what they imagined. This is a guideline organized from comparisons and does not mean everyone will perceive the flavor identically.

When comparing, first align the device, heating mode, and the timing of crushing the capsule. The key is not to treat impressions taken under different conditions as an absolute ranking of the sticks. Please check compatible devices in ourStick Compatibility Chart.

Comparison Summary for Tropical Lime Crystal

This variety becomes easier to compare when you look not only at the richness of mango, but also at how lime transforms the flavor profile. It is a product where you should distinguish between launch price and current price, as well as Cacao Mint’s nationwide rollout.
