The Difference Between Sub-ohm and Mouth to Lung

When exploring vape styles, it's essential to understand the differences between sub-ohm vaping and mouth-to-lung (MTL) vaping. Each offers unique experiences, from flavour intensity to cloud production, depending on the equipment and approach.

Sub-Ohm Vaping

Sub-ohm vaping, often preferred by those seeking larger clouds and intense flavours, uses a device with a coil resistance below one ohm (hence "sub-ohm"). Sub-ohm tanks, like the Horizontech Sakerz sub-ohm tank or the Vaporesso iTank, are designed with larger coils that allow more vape juice and air to pass through. This results in higher vapour production and a robust flavour profile, particularly suitable for dense, flavourful vape juices like those from Elux or Elfbar. With sub-ohm vaping, each exhale delivers a thick, impressive cloud that highlights flavours like Lost Mary’s Blueberry Sour Raspberry or the unique profile of Vampire Vape’s Heisenberg.

Mouth-to-Lung (MTL) Vaping

For those who prefer a tighter draw similar to smoking a traditional cigarette, mouth-to-lung vaping is ideal. MTL vaping involves drawing vapour into the mouth before inhaling it into the lungs, a method that replicates the feel of smoking. Devices like the Aspire PockeX or Vaporesso Luxe XR Max work well for MTL, providing a more restrained airflow due to smaller, compact coils. This makes it a popular choice among those transitioning from smoking to vaping. Many MTL vapers enjoy the smooth experience of nic salts from brands like Zeus and Bar Juice, which offer satisfying flavours such as Dimpleberry or Blue Razz.

Whether you’re trying out high-power sub-ohm devices or MTL setups, the vaping world offers a wide variety of flavours, styles, and devices that can cater to every preference.
