E-Liquid for MTL vs DTL: What’s the Best Option?

Vaping generally comes down to two main styles: MTL (mouth-to-lung) and DTL (direct-to-lung). MTL mimics the traditional act of smoking, a draw into the mouth followed by inhaling into the lungs, making it ideal for beginners and ex-smokers.  DTL, on the other hand, is a more direct inhale straight into the lungs, producing larger clouds and a smoother overall vape, often preferred by experienced users.

At Greet Vape, we offer you a range of the best-quality e-liquids to enhance your taste buds. In this blog, we’ll explore the differences between MTL and DTL vaping and help you figure out which e-liquid is best for your style

Each style pairs best with a specific type of e-liquid. From VG/PG ratios to nicotine strengths and flavour profiles, here’s a breakdown of how MTL and DTL e-liquids differ, and how to choose the right one for your setup.

The VG (vegetable glycerin) to PG (propylene glycol) ratio plays a major role in how your vape feels and performs.

• MTL Vaping: Works best with thinner, high-PG blends. These juices wick easily in low-power devices and deliver a stronger throat hit. Typical blends include 50/50 or 70PG/30VG.
• DTL Vaping: Requires thicker, high-VG e-liquids. These produce dense vapour clouds and a smoother inhale. Ratios like 70VG/30PG or 80VG/20PG are common. 100% VG e-liquids exist but are niche and require specialised coils or rebuildables.

Nicotine levels are a key difference between MTL and DTL e-liquids.

• MTL Devices: Often use higher nicotine levels, either freebase nicotine or nicotine salts. Nic salts are smoother and more efficient for delivering higher nic doses, typically ranging from 10–20mg in the UK due to TPD limits. In other markets like the US, strengths may reach up to 50mg for heavy smokers. Smooth hits, faster nicotine satisfaction, nic salts are perfect for MTL kits and ex-smokers. Explore Nic Salt today!
• DTL Devices: Work better with lower nicotine levels (usually 3-6 mg). Because DTL devices produce so much vapour, higher nicotine would feel too harsh. Most DTL juices use freebase nicotine for a balanced throat hit and cloud production. Perfect for cloud chasers and custom nic levels, grab your favourite flavour and top it up your way.
