Before you buy a tank, it's important to understand the different types and which one is right for you.

MTL (Mouth-to-Lung)

MTL tanks are designed to feel like smoking a cigarette. You draw the vapor into your mouth first, then inhale it into your lungs. They use higher-resistance coils (1.0Ω and above) and lower wattages (10-25W).

• Best for: Beginners, former smokers, people who prefer a tight draw
• Pros: More like smoking, uses less e-liquid, more discreet, better for high-nicotine e-liquids
• Cons: Less vapor production, less flavor intensity

DTL (Direct-to-Lung)

DTL tanks are designed for inhaling vapor directly into your lungs — like breathing air. They use low-resistance coils and higher wattages, producing large amounts of vapor.

• Best for: Intermediate/advanced vapers, cloud chasers, flavor enthusiasts
• Pros: More flavor, more vapor, more customizable
• Cons: Uses more e-liquid, bigger/cloudier, less like smoking

Sub-Ohm

"Sub-ohm" means the coil resistance is below 1.0Ω. Most DTL tanks are sub-ohm. The lower resistance means more power, more heat, and more vapor. If you see "sub-ohm tank," it's almost always a DTL tank.
