What Is An MTL Vape Juice?

Are you wondering what an MTL vape juice is? The short answer is that it is an e-liquid that produces moderate to minimal vapour levels and is popular with new vapers and vapers seeking a cigarette-like vaping experience. But how and why? 

Today, we’re going to provide a brief explanation of what exactly this vape juice is. Once you’ve read this short guide, you’ll have a much better understanding of MTL eliquids and vape juices in general. 

What Are MTL E-liquids?

MTL e-liquids or mouth-to-lung vape juices use either a 50 VG (Vegetable glycerine) / 50 PG (Propylene Glycol) mix ratio or a higher PG content. These e-liquids tend to have a similar viscosity to water and are “runnier” than DTL (direct-to-lung) e-liquids. 

So, what does it mean for you? If you use an MTL e-liquid with DTL tanks, DTL pods, or DTL coils that are not designed for it, you will get a sticky and messy leak. And, as mentioned earlier, the PG VG ratio blend of this e-liquid type means that you get moderate vapour. You also have more nicotine strength options with a MTL liquid unlike high-VG vape juices which produces bigger clouds.

Keep in mind that this e-liquid type is for MTL vaping, which is distinct from DTL vaping in that it replicates the act of drawing cigarette smoke into the mouth and lung with a combination of expanding mouth pressure and a subsequent intake of breath.

Not all MTL vape juice is nic salted, but all nic salt e-liquids are MTL e-liquids.

Is VG or PG Better for MTL Vape Juice?

PG is better for MTL vape juice because it provides a looser consistency that won’t gum up MTL vape coils. On the other hand, VG is a thicker substance that only DTL devices and coils can optimally atomise for big cloud vaping.

MTL liquids should always have an equal 50/50 split of PG vs VG or a higher PG ratio than VG. Though rare, there are a few people with a PG intolerance who may find MTL liquids to be too irritating to use. We recommend these people instead try vaping on 100% VG e-liquids.

What Is the Best Vape for MTL E-liquids?

MTL vape kits are the best vapes for MTL liquids because their high-resistance coils are designed to soak and atomise thin MTL vape juices efficiently. MTL vape kits also use relatively low power outputs, which is all that is needed to convert 50/50 e-liquids into inhalable vapour.

As mentioned earlier, using Direct Lung (DL) vapes for MTL vape juices is not a good idea, as the thin e-liquid is likely to leak. 

On top of this, the high power outputs of sub-ohm vapes will produce large quantities of MTL e-liquid vapour, which is likely to be uncomfortable to inhale due to its high PG content and nicotine strength.

What is the Best MTL Vape Juice? 

Since MTL vape juices are very popular, you have a lot of flavour choices to choose from! You have menthol, tobacco, and even fruit. Truthfully, it can be overwhelming, so we have taken the time to put together a roundup of what we believe is the best MTL vape juices below:

We know that vaping has a lot of initially confusing terminology, but as you can see, it’s all quite simple to understand. Just remember, MTL e-liquids have a 50/50 PG VG blend or a higher PG content and are best for mouth-to-lung vaping. If you’re still wondering what is an MTL vape juice good for, this type of e-liquid is great if you want a cigarette-like vaping experience!
