Direct inhalation, indirect inhalation, MTL, DL, these are just some of the words we're going to decipher together.
When you vape, you inhale the vapor produced when your resistance heats the e-liquid. Each electronic cigarette offers a different way of inhaling this vapor. There are three types of inhalations: direct inhalation, indirect inhalation and restrictive direct inhalation, also known as DL, MTL and RDL.
Direct inhalation is also known as DL or "Direct to lung". This refers to vapers who draw steam directly into the lungs without holding it in the mouth. We can liken it to the draw used when smoking shisha. It's a popular technique among expert vapers. It produces large clouds of smoke. What's more, it reproduces the same sensation as when you breathe.
It's essential to choose the right equipment for this type of inhalation. You'll need powerful electronic cigarettes with low-value resistors - also known as subohm - and e-liquid containing a high level of vegetable glycerin (VG). In addition, a low nicotine content is recommended for the DL draw, as this will cause you to inhale a large amount of vapor, and there is a risk of nicotine overdose with too high a nicotine content. Airflows should be as open as possible, and your drip-tip should be wide.
1) Flavors: you inhale a large quantity of steam. Flavors are often less subtle, but more intense and indulgent. Flavors that make for a fantastic experience include custards and gourmands, but also very fresh e-liquids.
2) Plenty of vapor: you produce impressive clouds of smoke, and some people even practice cloud chasing and vape tricks (producing large clouds and inventing all kinds of shapes). This is a real discipline, and competitions are organized for this purpose).
3) The hit: you vape like you breathe
1) E-liquid consumption: more steam inhaled, so more e-liquid consumed.
2) High wattage: to vape on a DL, you absolutely need a device with high wattage, which means faster battery discharge. So, make sure you have a spare set of batteries.
3) Unsuitable for beginners: this technique requires an e-liquid with a low nicotine content, and is therefore not recommended for smoking cessation. What's more, inhalation is the opposite of the draw of a combustion cigarette.
Indirect puffing, indirect inhalation or tight vaping is also known as MTL or "mouth to lung". It consists of drawing in the steam and locking it in the mouth before passing it to the lungs. It's an inhalation very similar to traditional smoking. This method is much appreciated by new vapers, making the transition from smoking to vaping easier.
For this type of draw, we recommend using a low-power electronic cigarette with a resistance value of 1 ohm or greater. It's best to choose e-liquids with a high mono-propylene glycol (MPVG/PG) content. You'll then be able to consume e-liquids with a high nicotine content, or even e-liquids with salt nicotine, ideal for a smooth and successful withdrawal from smoking. Your drip-tip or mouthpiece will be thin and long, and the airflows will be closed so that air is not abundant.
1) Familiarity: this draw is similar to the draw on a combustion cigarette
2) High nicotine concentration: with a tight vape you can consume e-liquids with high nicotine content. You can also use nicotine salts. This high level of nicotine allows you to wean yourself off cigarettes smoothly.
3) Flavor sensation: vape on high-value resistors, for greater flavor impact.
4) Lower consumption: this method requires less power, so you'll use less energy. What's more, you'll get your nicotine fill faster, which saves you money on e-liquids.
5) Discretion: you produce less steam, so you'll be more discreet in social situations.
1) Vapor: you produce little vapor, so if you prefer big clouds, this method may frustrate you.
2) Throat hit: due to the high PG content of your e-liquids, as well as the amount of nicotine, you'll experience a stronger throat hit than the DL, which can be unpleasant for some.
Restrictive direct inhalation or multipurpose vape is also called RDL or "Restricted Direct to Lung". This method involves the combination of the indirect and direct inhalations. In other words, you inhale in direct to lung but in a more controlled way with a shorter inhalation, or you can inhale longer to produce more steam but in mouth to lung. This is an ideal technical for the indecisive and for the vapers who loved to alternate their vaping manner. This way allows you to use e-liquids with high rate of nicotine and to have resistances between 0.6 and 0.8 ohm. The airflows will be slightly open to let a bigger volume of air coming during inhalation. For the e-liquid, you will prefer a PG/VG ratio of 50/50. Moreover, it is preferable to use an electronic cigarette with adjustable airflows to control it better.
1) Sensation balance : a great production of steam and a throat hit soften
2) Complete customization : the vaper customizes his draught following his preferences.
1) Finding the right adjustment : you will spend some time on finding the good adjustment that will suit you the best.
