When vaping, a distinction is made between two puffing techniques:
General Information about Puffing Techniques while Vaping
The vapor from an e-cigarette is first collected in the oral cavity for the entire duration
of the puff and then inhaled into the lungs. This puffing technique is referred to as mo-
derate, mouth-to-lung vaping and is similar to smoking. To achieve this, there must be
a noticeable resistance when puffing on the e-cigarette. Evaporator heads that support
this puffing technique in the moderate range (resistance usually > 1 ohm) are often
referred to as MTL (mouth to lung) heads. (Other abbreviations include ML and M2L.)
Moderate Vaping (Mouth-to-Lung)
While puffing, the vapor of an e-cigarette is directly inhaled into the lungs. This
puffing technique is referred to as sub-ohm vaping with direct lung inhalation.
To achieve this, there must be low puffing resistance and a strong air supply to
the evaporator head. Both have a positive effect on producing large quantities of
vapor. Evaporator heads that support this puffing technique in the sub-ohm range
(resistance usually < 1 ohm) are often referred to as DL (direct lung) heads. (other
abbreviations include DTL and D2L)
