Esse Change Mint Ice Blast Review: 4mg Capsule in Australia

Esse Change Mint Ice Blast Review: 4mg Capsule in Australia

Esse Change Mint Ice Blast 4mg is the mint capsule entry in the ESSE Change range sold in Australia, recorded at A$149.50 per carton (regular price A$230.00) on the current product page. It pairs ESSE's super-slim body with a crushable mint capsule, giving adults the option of a plain light smoke or a cold mint finish from the same cigarette. The details below are a record of the Esse Change Mint Ice Blast 4mg product page; prices change, so the product page is the reference.

What the product page records

The product name carries the essentials: Esse Change, the capsule series; Mint Ice Blast, the flavour character; and 4mg, the strength figure shown on the page. The cigarette keeps the super-slim body shared by the whole ESSE family, and the capsule sits in the filter.

Uncapped, the smoke is a light tobacco character; pressed, the capsule releases the mint blast that gives the line its name. The Soulssky catalogue records the carton at A$149.50 with a regular price of A$230.00, and a carton holds ten packs. As with every entry in the catalogue, the product page is the authoritative record for description, price and imagery.

How the capsule works in practice

Crushable capsule cigarettes are simple to describe: a small bead inside the filter holds the flavour, and pressing it releases that flavour into the draw. With Mint Ice Blast, the release is a pronounced cold mint that dominates the smoke for the remainder of the cigarette.

That two-in-one behaviour is the main reason adults choose Change lines: the same carton can be smoked plain or with the capsule crushed, depending on mood. Compared with a pre-treated menthol like the ESSE Menthol line, the capsule approach gives the smoker the choice rather than fixing the menthol in advance. Adults who switch between plain and mint across a day tend to describe this flexibility as the line's main point of difference.

Mint character and the 4mg figure

The 4mg in the name is the strength figure recorded on the product page for this capsule line, and it places the cigarette within the light-to-mid part of the ESSE range. The mint itself is described in the product name as a blast: the cold sensation is more intense than the steady cooling of the Menthol line, which is what separates the two mint options in the catalogue.

In record terms, the difference is one of intensity rather than type. Both lines deliver a mint character through the filter; Mint Ice Blast simply announces it more strongly once the capsule is pressed. That makes it the natural pick for adults who want the mint to be unmistakable rather than background.

Australian context: capsules and cartons

Capsule cigarettes are one of the fastest-growing preferences among Australian adult smokers, and the Change range is ESSE's answer to that demand. On price, the same Australian maths applies: single packs commonly run between A$35 and A$55, so the 10-pack carton is the unit adults compare. At A$149.50, the Mint Ice Blast carton sits on the same price step as the Lights and Menthol lines, with the two Double Applemint capsules one step higher at A$175.50.

The two-step layout of the ESSE catalogue is worth noting for Sydney readers in particular: the three lighter lines share one carton price, and the two fruit double-capsule lines share a higher one, so the price question and the flavour question can be answered separately.

Where Mint Ice Blast fits the ESSE range

The Soulssky catalogue currently records five ESSE lines. Mint Ice Blast is the strongest mint in the range and the natural bridge between the simpler lines and the fruit capsules:

• Esse Lights Super Slim — plain and mild, A$149.50 per carton.
• ESSE Menthol (Mechanical Green) Super Slim — pre-treated menthol, A$149.50 per carton.
• ESSE Change Double Applemint Wine — fruit and mint double capsule, A$175.50 per carton.
• ESSE Change Double Applemint Orange — fruit and mint double capsule, A$175.50 per carton.
