What is MTL, RDL, and DTL?
Choosing the right inhaling style is the secret to a satisfying vape. Whether you want a cigarette-like feel or massive clouds, discover which style suits you best.
MTL
Mouth To LungThe Smoker's Choice. You draw vapor into your mouth first, hold it for a split second, then inhale into your lungs. It feels exactly like smoking a cigarette.
- ✔ Tight, restricted draw
- ✔ Strong throat hit
- ✔ Low vapor production (Stealthy)
RDL
Restricted Direct LungThe Middle Ground. You inhale directly into your lungs, but with some resistance. It gives you more flavor and vapor than MTL, but isn't as airy as DTL.
- ✔ Semi-airy draw
- ✔ Intense flavor saturation
- ✔ Moderate clouds
DTL
Direct To LungThe Cloud Chaser. Like taking a deep breath through a snorkel. You inhale straight to the lungs with zero resistance. Creates massive clouds.
- ✔ Wide open airflow
- ✔ Very smooth (low throat hit)
- ✔ Huge vapor production
