Mouth To Lung (MTL) vs Direct To Lung (DTL) Vaping Guide

Mouth To Lung (MTL) vs Direct To Lung (DTL) Vaping
2
Types of Vaping

• There are two fundamental styles of vaping Mouth
  to Lung (MTL) and Direct to Lung (DTL) Vaping.
• Each of the styles is characterized by a unique
  set of benefits but typically performs best with
  a particular type of e-juice and device.
• The MTL vaping style resembles the way smokers do
  their thing taking a puff, making it pause in
  the mouth, and then inhaling it.
• In DTL, the vapor is drawn directly to the lungs
  before it is exhaled.

Mouth to Lung (MTL) Vaping

• How MTL Vaping is Done?
• Explaining the MTL process, in summary, the vaper
  draws vapor smoothly into their mouth but
  avoids taking short and sharp drags like it is
  done in smoking by taking long draws.
• The vapor in the mouth is then inhaled to the
  lungs at the same time drawing in air. Finally,
  the vapor is exhaled. Indeed, for some people,
  for some reason, it takes very long to understand
  the meaning of an MTL throat hit.

• Why MTL?
• For some people, it is a reason for not being
  interested to spew out large vapor clouds its
  for the aim of getting something similar to the
  feeling they would get when smoking a cigarette.
• In MTL vaping, breath is also included in the
  process implying there will be no substantial
  production of vapor in the system.
• The Best Nicotine Strength for MTL Vaping
• For ex-smokers, they will definitely require a
  higher content of nicotine in their vape juices
  (between 12 20 mg/mL) and MTL is the best
  option.
• If the e-juice is not satisfying your craving,
  its easy, possible rather than scale it down or
  up accordingly.

• The Best PG/VG Ratio for MTL Vaping
• A 50VG/50PG ratio offers a good throat hit and is
  good for vapor production.
• A 60VG/40PG ratio offers a smoother vaping
  experience and a better vapor production.
• Several recent MTL vaping devices perform
  superbly with 70VG/50PG ratio but it is good to
  confirm the appropriate ratio for the device.
• Coil Resistance
• For MTL devices, the resistance of coils ranges
  between 1.0 to 2.8 Ohms where the most common
  devices have coil resistances of 1.5 and 1.8 Ohms
• Compared with DTL devices, MTL devices come with
  higher resistance coils. Ultimately, these
  devices are suited for application with a low
  wattage scale.

Direct to Lung (DTL) Vaping

• How to Perform DTL Vaping?
• DTL vaping involves drawing the vapor slowly and
  steadily directly into the lungs (can take 3 to 5
  seconds) without taking sharp drags. Once it is
  drawn into the lungs, vapor clouds are exhaled.
• Why DTL?
• At first, your lungs will experience a shock but
  with time, if you begin with low-wattage combined
  with a tight airflow, then slowly open it up, the
  lungs will adapt and will eventually love it.

• Nicotine Strength Suitable for DTL Vaping
• The recommended e-juice nicotine strength for DTL
  hitters is 6 mg and below. Most vapors use this
  method like a nicotine strength of 3 mg.
• Best PG/VG Ratio for DTL
• A 60VG/40PG ratio will deliver good flavor, a
  little hit on the throat, and some decent cloud
  production.
• A 70VG/30PG ratio is typically the most popular
  blend and delivers good flavor, a lot of clouds,
  and a smooth hit on the throat.
• A 80VG/20PG ratio will deliver good flavor, dense
  clouds, and smoother hit on the throat.

8

• A 90VG/10PG ratio will deliver good flavor, much
  denser clouds, and a smooth hit on the throat.
• Airflow
• For DTL vaping, the majority of tanks come with
  the option to modify the airflow.
• When the airflow is open, it implies that more
  air is drawn through the tank and into the lungs
  without restrictions.
• Coil Resistance
• Compared with MTL devices, DTL devices have low
  coil resistance lower than 1 Ohm implying
  they are operated at higher wattage.
