How much vapor can you hold with MTL?

[Asmani]

When I smoke cigarettes, I use MTL. But with vapes, I can't do it properly. The amount of air I can hold in my mouth is way less than DTL. Do you have the same problem with MTL?

 

[HauntedMyst]

No

Do you limit the airflow? I realized I can get good MTL puffs if I highly limit the airflow.

Yes. This is what I do. I set my tank and mod to emulate the cigarettes I used to roll.
Watts,coil ohm and air flow

Yes your mouth capacity is going to be less than your lung capacity. When doing MTL reducing airflow helps a lot. Using a smaller bore drip tip can help as well.

What wattage and ohm do you use?

I know you weren't asking me, but I personally use 3mm diameter 7 wraps of 26ga SS316L coils at around 0.5 ohms in Temp Control at 435F (224C). Single coil tanks.

You're always going to only be able to hold a small amount in your mouth, as your lung capacity is much larger compared to your mouth.

Many people vape MTL the same way they smoked MTL. There were no big smoke clouds that way, and there won't be big vapor clouds that way either.

If by "I can't do it properly" (MTL) you mean you aren't getting big clouds, so you think you're doing something wrong...you're not. If you want the clouds you need to try DTL vaping.

Actually he's a girl . But yeah, he got it right.

I do variations of MTL and DL but the 26awg SS at 7 wraps makes an outstanding coil.

Hi,
I dont know if any of this is useful, I just tweak the watts as I require during the day.
I try to keep the watts lower, below 12, but occasionally just to get a quicker nic hit I will notch up the watts
I mainly vape flavourless and use VG mixed with 5-15% distilled water.
I use a few different tanks and coils. These are my main tanks.
1.5ohm coils / 6-10w.
1.6ohm coils / 8-13w
0.8ohm coils/ 9-18w
0.7ohm coils / 10-20w
0.5ohm coils / 12-32w

I was surprised to find what a big difference a smaller bore drip tip actually makes. Obviously, as others have stated, the biggest thing is reducing your airflow, as it will concentrate the amount of vapor coming in. But I definitely notice a difference between a big wide bore drip tip and a smaller one.

Airflow and drip tips will be your friend. I personally loathe DL and wide bore driptips and I'm glad I found that out early.

Your wattage and resistances don't seem strange (well some of them) for a reasonable MTL vape (with the right airflow and wattage and setup of tank).

I have found that for me, while I can sometimes make a tank or setup designed for DL work (with the right airflow, wattage, drip tip etc.) that more "dedicated" MTL tanks work better for me overall.

You mention resistances, not actual tanks, what are the names of the tanks you are using. That may help with instructions, although basically yes, if you are in search of a MTL draw (which is what I seek) I do best with MTL atomizers, at reasonable wattages and etc. It sounds like you may not quite be "ready" for DL atomizers or at least not really ready to use them the way they are intended, high volume of vapor sucked directly into the lungs.

If that is correct, now might be a good time to ask about MTL specific tanks and seeing if you have some/can get some, if that's your comfort level right now.

Best of luck,

Anna

All of my atty's have tight airflow that are more like smoking.

You might try the Ming Vase style drip tip.

I bought some of these from Fasttech:
$4.84 (Free Shipping) Flat PC + Stainless Steel 510 Drip Tip (5-Pack) (Flat, Black + Silver, 5-Pack) at m.FastTech.com
Find they are really good for mouth to lung vaping. The stainless steel bit can be taken off - and I put the plastic tip straight on to my tank.

This is actually my favorite drip tip for Chimera vaping (MTL on a DTL topper):
$1.60 Stainless Steel 510 Drip Tip - 11mm dia. at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
Also available as a pack of 5:
$5.97 Stainless Steel 510 Drip Tip (5-Pack) 5-pack - 11mm dia. at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
