VAPING 101

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 Lung

The 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)
Best Gear: Disposable Vapes, Pod Kits, High Resistance Coils (1.0Ω+)

RDL

Restricted Direct Lung

The 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
Best Gear: Advanced Pod Mods, Medium Coils (0.6Ω - 0.8Ω)

DTL

Direct To Lung

The 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
Best Gear: Sub-Ohm Tanks, High Wattage Mods, Low Coils (<0.4Ω)
