The 10 Best MTL Vapes Of 2024
If you′re looking for a vape kit that will deliver a cigarette-like vape, or a convenient and discreet everyday device, you can′t go wrong with an MTL (Mouth To Lung) vape kit. They produce a small amount of vapour for an inhale that feels similar to a cigarette, and they′re popular with all kinds of vapers – from beginner switchers who′ve just ditched tobacco (well done!) all the way up to advanced vapers looking for something simple and hassle-free.
The term “mouth-to-lung” describes the way you inhale using this type of vape – you inhale vapour into your mouth, and then into your lungs, just like thow you smoke a cigarette.
Refillable MTL vape kits are compatible with e-liquid that is 50% VG or high PG, and you can take your pick between freebase and nic salt vape juice. You can also choose prefilled pod kits, which require no refilling or coil changes. Prefilled pod vapes make good alternatives to disposable vapes as they′re just as convenient, yet cheaper and greener.
With so many options available, it can be a little difficult to decide which kit to go for – especially if you′ve never vaped before. With that in mind, we′ve put together this list of the best MTL vape kits in order to help you make your choice. For each, we′ve listed all the important features as well as spare parts, helping you compare the vapes at a glance.
