If you are looking to quit smoking and want a device that perfectly replicates the tight, restricted draw of a traditional cigarette, MTL Vape Kits are exactly what you need. "Mouth-to-Lung" refers to the inhalation style: you draw the vapour into your mouth first, then inhale it into your lungs. Operating at low wattages, these devices deliver a satisfying, warm throat hit without producing obnoxious, massive clouds of vapour. Browse our premium collection of sleek, pocket-friendly MTL kits from Innokin, Aspire, Vaporesso, and Smok.
MTL kits are the gold standard for beginners. When transitioning away from combustible tobacco, your brain expects a specific sensation—a tight draw, a noticeable throat hit, and rapid nicotine delivery. High-powered sub-ohm devices completely fail to provide this. MTL kits are engineered with narrow drip tips and highly restricted airflow to recreate the exact physical sensation of smoking.
| Feature | MTL (Mouth-to-Lung) | DTL (Direct-to-Lung / Sub-Ohm) |
|---|---|---|
| Inhale Style | Into mouth, then into lungs (Like a cigarette) | Directly inhaled into lungs (Like a shisha) |
| Vapour Production | Discreet, low volume | Massive, thick clouds |
| Nicotine Strength | High (10mg to 20mg Nic Salts) | Low (0mg to 3mg Freebase) |
The MTL category encompasses several different form factors:
MTL kits operate at very low wattages (typically between 10W and 20W). Because of this, they cannot vaporise thick, syrupy e-liquids. You must pair your MTL kit with a 50/50 VG/PG e-liquid. For the smoothest experience and fastest craving relief, we highly recommend pairing your MTL kit with a 10mg or 20mg Nicotine Salt.
Gurgling usually means the coil has flooded. This happens if you draw too aggressively (like drinking from a thick milkshake straw). With MTL kits, you should take slow, gentle, and steady puffs to allow the coil time to vaporise the liquid.
No. High VG (70/30) e-liquids are too thick for the small wicking holes in MTL coils. The cotton will dry out, and you will instantly burn the coil.
