Vaping isn’t one-size-fits-all. The key choice—MTL (mouth-to-lung) or DTL (direct-to-lung)—shapes your experience, catering to different habits and preferences. Let’s break them down.​

For Newly Transitioned Vapers: Mouth-to-Lung (MTL)​

If you’re switching from cigarettes, MTL feels familiar: pull vapor into your mouth first, then breathe it into your lungs, just like smoking.

How it works: Slow draw into the mouth, pause briefly, then inhale into lungs. Think sipping through a straw—vapor hits your mouth first.
Why it’s favored: Discreet (no huge clouds), gentle on lungs, bold flavor, and delivers that familiar “throat hit.” Great for beginners.
E-liquid picks: Higher nicotine (12–20mg) to match smoking habits. Nicotine salts (10–20mg) absorb faster, satisfying cravings quickly.
Gear tips: Tighter airflow (small mouthpieces), coils with ≥1.0 Ohm resistance. Starter kits with fixed wattage work best. 50/50 PG/VG blends balance flavor and throat hit.

For Cloud Chasers: Direct-to-Lung (DTL)​

DTL is for stepping up: inhale vapor straight into your lungs in one smooth breath, like a deep breath of air.

How it works: Inhale slowly, deeply (3–5 seconds) directly into lungs. Exhale for thick, billowing clouds.
Why it’s loved: Hits with experienced vapers for tricks (ring blowing, cloud stacking), massive vapor, and savoring e-liquid notes on exhale. Pairs with high-wattage mods and sub-ohm tanks.
E-liquid picks: Lower nicotine (≤6mg)—high nicotine (above 6mg) feels harsh. Long-term vapers often switch after reducing nicotine over time.
Gear tips: Open airflow (wide mouthpieces) for big clouds. Look for sub-ohm coils (<1.0 Ohm) to handle higher wattage and more vapor. High VG blends (70VG/30PG) create dense clouds with smooth throat hits.

Which One’s for You?​

MTL: New to vaping, wants to mimic smoking, prefers discretion/simplicity.
DTL: Chasing clouds, loves tricks, or diving deep into flavor.
No “better” option—just what makes vaping enjoyable for you.
