Difference between same ohm # MTL vs Direct?

[Yitz]

Hey I just got my first vape 3 days ago, an Aegis mini. I purchased the Nicolas MTL tank which came with a 1.8 and a .6 coil.

I was using the 1.8 which got messed up somehow after 24 hours maybe oversaturated? No idea. Either way now I'm using the .6

What I'd like to know is the difference between lets say this .6 coil and MTL tank and using a regular .6 on the cerberus tank which came with the mod?

Just higher power -> more vapor? And thats not so suitable for higher nic content compared to 3%?

Welcome to VU.
That's a bigger question than it seems like

If nobody gets to it, I'll try later when I have more time

The cerberus tank looks as though it uses mesh coils. You still might be able to use other coils in it. I do not know because I vape RDAs, not tanks. Not vaped much mesh either save for once in a Smoke Tech RSST Genny. I didn't get over enthused by it.

I think you'd be alright using the .6 coil if the tank will accept it. I couldn't really tell you too much difference from DL and MTL, one you draw straight into your lungs. The other you draw into your mouth and hold it prior to the lungs. To me both ways come through your mouth, it's just a matter of your personal technique in how they vape.

If you're only using 3mg nicotine per ml of juice, you ought not get too much of a harsh throat. I vape 18 mg per ml and do alright.

I agree as well. *chuckles*

The cerberus has .3's and look double the width as the MTL coils in the nicolas so I assume that means more flow and the higher power means more vapor so overall it just means a lot more air and vapor in a drag?

Oh right I forgot also the juice is 50/50 which I guess might not work well in the cerb tank.

Well I only vape 50/50 juice in everything. Not thin enough to cause leaks, not thick enough to cause dry hits. As others have said; this particular question could spawn pages of analysis and even some debate. That being said, here's my 2 cents. I use a Steam Crave Aromamizer Lite frequently. It can be utilized as a DL or MTL RTA. I use it both ways, depending on my mood. I vape 6mg eliquid I make myself. I don't change juice or the coil when I switch from DL to MTL. The coil has a resistance of .20 ohms, and I power it with usually around 50 watts.

It's about the type of inhale you get. One is not better than the other. Just different styles of inhale.

MTL = Mouth to Lung = Tighter airflow. Doesn't use as much juice, but definitely a weaker inhale.
DL = Direct Lung = Wide airflow. Uses more juice. Bigger clouds though.

Restricted Air Flow and Unrestricted Air Flow is the only difference IMO there is no such animal as Direct To Lung unless of course you happen to have a chest tube. Just because I hold a puff in my mouth or not it is still going through my mouth and throat before my lungs.

Oh and Welcome @Yitz here's to hoping you enjoy your stay~!

In most cases if its single
Cool or mesh, the lower the number the lower the resistance, hence re more power is needed to push the coil.
Additional, in most cases, the lower the number the wider the inner diameter of the coil is; hence allowing more air to push the coil.

Direct lung and “clouds bro” vaping generally relies on:
Low resistance
High power
High airflow
And coil placement.

Mtl is usually
Close to or above 1 ohm resistance
Tighter airflow
Lower power
And
Coil placements

If it’s multi coil you’ll probably have several smaller diameter airflow coils with a larger chimney.


Notice I did not say anything as a definite: there is none.
Some wire materials are lower resistance by design and there are several ways to decrease airflow in some gear.

There is also no wrong way to

What mod is that?

What mod is that?

That is the Pug by Vapergate. 80 watts, power only, internal 2800 mah battery. 3 charging ports: micro USB, type C USB, Apple Lightning port.

I like the way it looks. Hows it work? Bat life?

 

[VAPEROXX]

I get a full day of regular vaping at 50-60 watts! The only cons I found is that the finish is a tad shoddy for a pricey device (~$65-$70), and the buttons rattle like a 10 year old device. I could have sworn that we were past rattling buttons...but overall, it's a great little mod if you overlook the nitpicky shit!
