Good Day All!!!!!

I've been reading about mtl/dtl here in the forum. I understand the concept for both. However, I get the impression that there are different devices for each. I have been vaping dtl with my eGo AIO joyetech. I had been doing 16mg nic but found I was craving stinkies a bit to often. So last night I picked up some new juice with 18 nic.

Can someone advise if this is the correct device for dtl? And if not what type of device do I need to look for? Budget is limited so need to keep that in mind if I need to look for another device. Also I have a Tesla Two sub mod as backup. Is the Tesla good for dtl?

Thanks in advance for any info.

Depends on the coil you're using in the AIO. The .6ohm is MTL the .5 is DTL. There are various other coils available also. I'm sure someone will come along to expand on this list.

Interesting that it depends on the coil makes perfect sense. So just pulled out my coil it says .6 MTL. So I need a different coil. Now I'm wondering if they make dtl coils for my device. Guess I'll call the b & m to see if they do. Also gonna do a Google search.

Thanks so much for your reply!!!

I'm not sure what I do. My builds are all subohm, and I've come to not like the tight draw of typical mtl tanks, but I'm really looking at the flavor, not the cloud. I don't take in big lungfuls with each draw. So is that subohm high airflow mtl?? Don't know and don't care. You only have to care about finding what suits you best. There's no need to rigidly pigeonhole styles of vaping.

Well, unless you like to enter cloud competitions. And that's cool too.

Thanks for the replies. I'm just really trying out the best was to get nic into my system as I'm back to vaping in order to quit the stinkies. Doing a bit of experimenting with my inhales. So far inhaling into mouth then lung and out thru nose seems to be the best for the nic and taste. Big thing is to get into that habit rather than DTL.

MtL-whether you prefer to inhale into your mouth, pause, and then exhale(like a cigar) or into your lungs
DtL- inhaling without pausing into your lungs.
With mtl you'd be inhaling into your mouth, then drawing the vapour into your lungs.

In the UK, the Tesla is just a mod.
If you want to talk tanks, then the inbuilt tank on the AIO is not easy to quantify.
Either way.... 18mg isn't going to make a difference over 16mg.
I would recommend a tank with 0.5ohm or even 0.3ohm coils to use on the Tesla, and keep the Tesla 'topped up' with charge, as it'll lose power as the battery drains.
If you have a little money to experiment, I'd recommend a Uwell Crown (version 1) with a selection of coils.
The only trouble with that advice is 18mg would be rather extreme, to say the least.

Yeah I found MTL much better for the habit forming addiction of the way you smoke as described above. After maybe 2 months I picked up DTL. I still use both because I switched from chain smoking to chain vaping. Use MTL then when I need a quick nic fix I use DTL. I only vape 2mg these days so MTL can't satisfy my nic for long, just my habit. Can't be bothered to have some juice 6mg for MTL and some 2-3mg.

Only time I'm using mtl is for my stealth setups where I want little to no cloud and just want enough nic to hold me. I do have a bottle of 18 mg 70/30 PG/VG just for that and I'm on Nauti mini 1.8 ohm coils, so not much to exhale, and enough nic to keep me going. normally I vape an opposite 70/30 VG 6 mg nic on subohm RTA builds.

did you actually read what i wrote before you critiqued it?
Yes. With mtl you'd be inhaling into your lungs by definition, not into your lungs or only into your mouth. I wasn't criticising though, no need to feel offended.

Yeah they are great for that also, very simular but I use evods cause I can rebuild them cheap and easy. I can't be bothered to mix different PG/VG ratios either my ratios just depend on how much flavour(PG) I use, 80-90%VG.
