What is Mouth to Lung Vaping?

Mouth to lung vaping is where the vapour from an e-cigarette is inhaled into the mouth, then into the lungs. This style of vaping is best suited to beginners as it resembles the way in which most people smoke a cigarette.

What Are MTL Vape Kits?

Vape kits suitable for mouth to lung vaping require coils (the part of an e-cigarette that turns e-liquid into vapour) with a higher resistance. This resistance is measured in ohms and MTL devices tend to use coils with a resistance of 1 ohm or above.

This essentially means that the liquid in the tank is vapourised at a cooler temperature and therefore a cooler, thinner vapour is produced. This is similar to the density of cigarette smoke and another reason why devices designed for MTL vaping are often favoured by beginners.
