What Type of Starter Kit Is Best for Me?Different starter kits cater to various vaping styles:

• Prefilled Pod Kits: Ideal for absolute beginners seeking simplicity. These rechargeable kits come with pre-filled pods that you simply click in and vape.

• Vape Pens: Perfect for new vapers who want a familiar cigarette-like shape with slightly more customisation than pod systems.

• MTL (Mouth-to-Lung) Kits: Excellent for those wanting a smoking-like experience with adjustable settings.

• Sub-ohm Kits: Best for those seeking bigger clouds and bolder flavours, though not typically recommended for complete beginners.

How Do I Choose the Right Nicotine Strength for My Starter Kit?

Your ideal nicotine strength depends on your previous smoking habits:

• Heavy smokers (20+ per day): 18-20mg

• Medium smokers (10-20 per day): 10-18mg

• Light smokers (10 or less per day): 6-10mg

• Social smokers: 0-3mg

Note thatsub-ohm deviceswork best with lower nicotine strengths (3-6mg), while MTL and pod systems are compatible with higher strengths. Many users prefernicotine salt e-liquidsfor a smoother throat hit.

What’s the Difference Between Mtl and Dtl Vaping?

MTL (Mouth-to-Lung)and DTL (Direct-to-Lung) are two distinct vaping styles:

MTL:

• Similar to smoking a cigarette

• Draw vapour into mouth first, then inhale

• Tighter draw

• Works best with higher nicotine strengths

• Typically uses less power

DTL:

• Direct inhalation like breathing

• Looser, airier draw

• Produces more vapour

• Uses lower nicotine strengths

• Typically uses more power
