Best MTL Vape

MTL style vapes are the most popular style of vapes on the current market as they closely replicate the feel of inhaling a cigarette and as a result are one of the best ways to quit smoking. MTL vapes come in many different shapes and sizes from pen and pod systems to disposable vapes, there is an MTL vapes for everyone.

So what makes a vape an MTL vape?

The acronym MTL stands for Mouth to Lung and refers to the way the vapour is inhaled from a vape device. With an MTL vape the vapour is inhaled from the device into your mouth and then from your mouth down into your lungs where the nicotine can be absorbed. For more detailed information on MTL vaping, and a comparison with how MTL vaping differs to DTL vaping, read our blog: MTL vs DTL.

What makes a good MTL vape?

To determine if an MTL vape is any good there are three key things you should check that the vape delivers. The first item on the checklist is portability, if the vape you are wanting to use is not as portable as a pack of cigarettes it makes quitting smoking using that vape inconvenient and may result in you turning back to smoking.

The second factor to check is battery life, can the vape you are looking at provide you with a full day of vaping without needing to be charged? If not, then it may result in you being out and about with a vape with no charge and you having no access to a charger. As you will be craving nicotine this may result in you buying a disposable vape or worse, buying cigarettes.

The third factor on the checklist is if the vape can deliver the full flavour intended by the vape juice you are wanting to use. If the coil can not do so it may mean the flavour may be dull and not desirable to vape.

Now that you know what MTL vaping is and what makes a good MTL vape it’s time for you to take look at the best MTL vapes the current market has to offer.
