What's the difference of mouth to lung (MTL) vs direct to lung (DTL) vaping?--Lucky

Most vape users often refer to the MTL and DL vaping. Newcomers often do not understand. What are the MTL and DL? What's the Difference between them? This is the most common two inhalation methods, different inhalation methods will provide the different Vape experience.


The method of MTL is very similar to the usual tobacco cigarettes smoking. The DL Vaping is closer to the inhalation method when using hookahs.

At the same time, different vape devices, atomizers, and output power also determine whether a device is suitable for MTL or DL. Different inhalation methods will provide different flavor whether you want to experience the wonderful taste of E-liquid or cloud vapor.

Mouth to Lung Vaping
The Mouth to Lung vaping is the same as our daily tobacco smoking method. The user first smokes the smoke from the atomizer and inhales extra air to bring the smoke into the lungs. In the earlier period, due to technical limitations, most electronic cigarette users adopt MTL method to use electronic cigarettes. Compared with the DL Vaping, the MTL smoke will stay in the user's mouth for a longer period of time. In this way, the vape users will experience the delicate taste of the e-juice. Since both cigars and cigarette users use the MTL method, most vape players use e-cigarettes to replace tobacco cigarette who will choose the MTL methods.
Most users will choose the high resistance atomizers to fit the MTL vaping. Such as nautilus atomizer. Also, its output power will generally be controlled below 15W. Most vape users often choose the high PG, high nicotine e-liquid to creates an inhalation experience.

The advantages of MTL Vaping
1. Due to the slow inhalation, the evaporation speed of e-juice is also relatively slow. So the same amount of e-liquid can be used for a longer period of time.
2. The MTL vaping often work at the lower wattage, which will avoid overheating of the device.
3. Because of the same usage as tobacco cigarettes, many people will prefer the MTL vaping. Help them quit smoking.
4. The smoke will stay in the user's mouth for a longer period of time, which helps the user to obtain a more delicate taste experience from the e-juice.



Direct to Lung Vaping
Unlike a mouth to lung vape, direct to lung (DL) vaping is more like simply breathing air normally – you suck the vapour straight into your lungs without letting it linger in your mouth. For this reason, direct to lung vaping can be more intense and satisfying than MTL vaping. In this way, the dense smoke will instantly fill the lungs, similar to the use of hookah.
DL Vaping will give the user a more intense impact experience. Also, the huge cloud will provide the user with a more full and rich taste experience. At the same time, due to the instant evaporation of a large amount of e-juice, the cooling design of the atomizer has also become crucial. The overheating of vapor will bring you the bad feeling. In the other way, the cloud vapor will bring the obvious throat hit feeling.
If you try direct to lung vaping, you'll find that you need to go with a low nicotine or nicotine-free (ie 3mg or even 0mg) e-liquid. This is because the nicotine will hit you in a more direct way, and a high nicotine strength (or high PG strength) could make you cough or feel unpleasant.
You'll also want to find an e-liquid with a high VG level, which means less PG (and therefore less of a lung hit) but a lot more cloud. A kit with air flow control is also great for direct to lung vaping, as you can adjust air flow to satisfy your needs.
