Vaping Style

DTL vaping is a method where you inhale the vapour directly into your lungs in one continuous, deep breath, much like breathing air. Unlike the two-step process of MTL, DTL is all about open airflow and high power. Just like the hookah/shisha, the vapour doesn't linger in your mouth; it travels straight down, which requires specific equipment designed to handle the massive volume of vapour. 

If Mouth-to-Lung (MTL) feels too restrictive and Direct-to-Lung (DTL) feels too airy, then Restricted Direct-to-Lung (RDL) might be the balance you’ve been missing. RDL sits neatly between the two, delivering a direct lung inhale but with tighter airflow. The result: richer flavour than DTL, more vapour than MTL, and a smooth throat hit that many vapers find ideal. In short, RDL is the “best of both worlds” option for those who want flavour and satisfaction without excessive cloud production.

Vaping isn’t just about flavour or nicotine it’s about how you inhale. The style you choose shapes your entire experience, from throat hit to cloud size. Pick the wrong one, and vaping can feel unsatisfying. Get it right, and it can be the perfect alternative to smoking. The two main styles are MTL (Mouth-to-Lung) and DTL (Direct-to-Lung). 

Moving from smoking to vaping can feel difficult. One of the most critical factors in a successful switch is choosing the right technique and device. For countless ex-smokers, the answer lies in Mouth-to-Lung (MTL) vaping. This guide will provide a detailed, fact-driven look at why this style is not just popular, but often the most effective starting point for newcomers.

We believe in empowering you with knowledge. Did you know that in the UK, over 4.4 million adults have used vaping to either cut down or completely stop smoking? (Source: Action on Smoking and Health UK, 2023). This success is often down to finding the perfect match between the user and the device. So, let’s break down the three main vaping styles MTL, DTL, and RDL and help you find your perfect match.
