What exactly is MTL

[Alphazero]

In cigarettes it is obviously MTL but a sucking one. It is like a straw, you must suck it, cant inhale it.
But i see many reviewers on mtl vaping which certainly not "sucking" they just inhale it to mouth.
So in vaping terminology what precisely is MTL

Vaping and Inhaling: Everything You Need To Know

MTL is drawing into the mouth then inhaling into the lung. MTL devices typically have reduced airflow requiring you suck like you would a cigarette.

MTL.. draw like a cigarette or cigar.. DL draw like a Blunt or Glass Waterpipe.

Watching videos is misleading . Many MTL vapers take prime puffs before inhaling. Everyone is different and has a style that may vary from a cig inhale. I’m a dedicated MTL vaper. 8-9 watts, 1.6-1.8 coils, restricted air flow.
I vape exactly like I smoked. With my setup I don’t get much more vapor than smoke from the cig. That’s just me.

So do many smokers.

Certainly. I smoked roll your owns and often would take a few primer puffs to get the cig up to optimum temps for the main draw.
My mtl vaping technique is very similar to my mtl cigarette technique. That I have sought out a few mtl devices trying to find one that most closely emulates my cigarette experience and technique brings me to a place where I realise my habit is fully intact its just the substance I inhale that is different....except for the nic, I like that stuff, that hasnt changed.

MTL seems to be not quite such a sharp division as before, where above 1.0 was considered that, and below, sub0hming. It's more about the way the atomizer functions when you pull on it. Usually airflow, coils and wattage are somewhat different and yes, of higher resistance than 1.0 but not always, it's really more about how you inhale the vapor into your mouth. As a smoker, I would inhale the vapor into my mouth before inhaling it into my lungs. There are all sorts of available "cigarette like" atomizers, from the extremely restricted (I am thinking about the Berserker RTA, for example) to the more airy, but MTL sort of rests on the inhale side, where (many) folks used to inhale when they were smoking.

DL is like sucking through a straw into your lungs. It's not the way I smoked, and it's not the way I prefer to vape. Many people do prefer that style however, and it sort of becomes a matter of finding out what works for you, certainly many vapers are happier with lower resistances, more vapor, and a different type of draw.
