Mouth to lung and direct lung vaping, do you know the difference?
Mouth to Lung (MTL) and Direct Lung (DL) can be confusing especially for new vapers. Below we will explore the differences between these two distinct vaping styles, to help you decide which vaper you would like to be.
In very simple terms, MTL vaping closely mimics the sensation of smoking. A vape kit geared up towards mouth to lung will have a tighter airflow. This requires a fair amount of vapour to be drawn into the mouth before fully inhaling as a secondary movement.
MTL e-cigs are most commonly used with e-liquid that contains a higher concentration of nicotine. These include nicotine salts which have become popular in recent years. The feeling on the back of your throat will be quite harsh, yet feels satisfying when inhaled further.
Mouth to lung vaping is ideal for anyone who wants to preserve the sensation of smoking as much as possible. Without the need to exhale large clouds of vapour. This vape style is also great for those that require a more stealthy option which won’t leave a vapour trail behind you.
Another benefit is that less e-liquid is consumed when using this type of e-cig. This is because the coil is usually a higher resistance. As a result it requires much less power in order to function normally, making your liquid last longer.
If you want to exhale large clouds of vapour, then MTL vaping would not be advised.
The high PG content allows for a stronger flavour and throat hit. This also means less VG which is what creates the vapour. So those who want to discreetly vape can still get a strong nicotine hit without producing a large cloud.
With a 50:50 PG/VG ratio. This is the ratio most vapers go for as it offers great flavour with a quality throat hit while producing more vaper than a high PG vape juice.
Nic salt e-liquid is an ideal choice for MTL vapers who are struggling to meet their nicotine requirements from freebase e-liquid. They are designed to mimic the natural salts in tobacco leaves to replicate the sensation of smoking. Also, vapers who need high strength e-liquid but find the throat hit too harsh use nic salts. This is because they provide a smoother draw even at higher strengths.
The direct lung vaping style is very different from its MTL counterpart, resulting in a completely unique experience. DL vaping generally ditches the smaller, more compact e-cigs and replaces them with larger, more sophisticated units. The tanks will have a greatly increased airflow. This means that rather than inhaling into the mouth as the first action, you simply inhale directly into your lungs through the mouthpiece.
DL vaping can be difficult to get into initially. Particularly with new vapers who may feel somewhat overwhelmed by the sheer volume of vapour being inhaled. It is better to use an e-liquid with a lower concentration of nicotine (between 3mg-6mg) to help avoid a vaping experience that is too intense.
This style of vaping is used by existing vapers who want to upgrade their e-cigarette and benefit from additional power and fully customisable settings often offered by this type of device, not to mention the large clouds of vapour that can be produced!
Direct lung vaping does consume more e-liquid than MTL. This is because the coil is larger and requires more power to function normally due to the lower resistance. This additional power requirement means that more vapour is produced, and in turn, more e-liquid.
Like with MTL vapers, 50/50 vape juice is a popular choice as it provides the perfect balance of flavour and vapour production with a quality throat hit. However, when vaping at higher wattages direct-lung vapers prefer an e-liquid with a high VG content. This produces larger clouds but also dilutes the throat hit so it isn’t too harsh when using a powerful device.
Some e-liquid comes in an 80:20 Max VG ratio which is perfect for DL vaper who want to produce the largest clouds of vapour, these are known as cloud chasers. As high VG e-liquid is thicker, it should only be used with sub ohm coils. This is because it will clog up and provide little flavour or throat hit when used with an MTL kit.
As direct-lung vaping does use up more e-liquid it can require multiple 10ml bottles to last a full day of vaping. The solution to this is short fill e-liquid. Coming in either 50ml or 100ml bottles, this vape juice allows DL vapers to carry around all the e-liquid they will need in one bottle. Due to the size of the bottles shortfill e-liquid does not contain nicotine. However, each bottle has enough room to insert a nic shot. When mixed this turns the full short fill into an e-liquid containing nicotine.
