WINDBAR Vape Glossary

WINDBAR D95 Microvolt

WINDBAR compact pocket vaporizer, 57.4 mm. Use the WINDBAR vape wattage calculator D95 preset as an educational MTL starting point, then confirm the coil print.

Also: D95, Microvolt

WINDBAR D91 Voyagers

WINDBAR ultra-slim 20 × 82 × 10 mm campaign device with a 4.4 V peak flavor drive. The WINDBAR Ohm's law calculator can load 4.4 V × 1 Ω as an educational hook.

Also: D91, 4.4V

Heat flux

Power per square millimetre of coil surface (mW/mm²). The WINDBAR coil wrapping calculator paints a typical 120–350 mW/mm² band. Not a flavor guarantee.

Also: mW/mm², heat flux calculator

Kanthal A1

Common resistance wire for wattage mode. Default material on the WINDBAR coil wrapping calculator.

Also: Kanthal

Nichrome 80

Lower resistivity than Kanthal, so the same wrap count usually reads fewer ohms and heats faster.

Also: N80

CDR

Continuous discharge rating of a battery cell, in amps. The WINDBAR Ohm's law and battery calculators compare amp draw to CDR.

Also: continuous discharge

Ohm (Ω)

Unit of electrical resistance. Lower-ohm coils usually need more power and produce more vapor.

Also: resistance, coil ohms

Wattage

Power delivered to the coil. Match wattage to the coil’s recommended range on the packaging.

Also: watts, power

MTL

Mouth-to-lung inhale style, closer to traditional smoking. Often uses higher-resistance coils and lower power.

Also: mouth to lung

DTL / DL

Direct-to-lung inhale. Typically lower-resistance coils, higher airflow, and higher wattage.

Also: direct to lung, DL

RDL

Restricted direct lung — a middle ground between MTL and open DL.

VG / PG

Vegetable glycerin (thicker, more vapor) and propylene glycol (thinner, more throat hit / flavor carry). Ratios like 70/30 are common on open systems.

Also: vegetable glycerin, propylene glycol

Nicotine strength

Often listed as mg/ml (e.g. 20 mg/ml) or as a percent (2%). 10 mg/ml ≈ 1%. Adult products only — follow local law.

Also: mg/ml, nicotine %

Pod

Replaceable cartridge that holds liquid and often the coil. Always match pods to the device family.

Coil / mesh

Heating element that vaporizes liquid. Mesh coils heat more evenly than older wire coils in many pods.

mAh

Milliamp-hours — a rough battery capacity rating. Higher mAh usually means longer runtime at the same power.

Also: battery capacity

Amp draw

Current pulled from the battery. High wattage and low resistance increase amp draw — stay within battery limits.

Regulated device

A device with a chip that controls power and usually includes protections (short, overheat, low battery).

Mech / rebuildable

Devices or atomizers where the user builds or installs coils. Requires Ohm’s law knowledge and battery safety.

Airflow

How much air mixes with vapor. Tighter airflow suits MTL; more open airflow suits DL.

Puff count

Marketing estimate of how many puffs a disposable or pod may last. Real use varies with puff length and power.

Authenticity code

Scratch-off or QR verification on packaging. Codes can be faked — also check print quality, seals, and seller reputation.

Leak

Liquid escaping from a pod or tank. Often caused by temperature changes, overfilling, damaged seals, or wrong orientation.

Dry hit

Harsh burnt taste when the coil isn’t wet enough. Prime new coils and don’t chain-puff empty pods.

Chain vaping

Many puffs in a short time. Can overheat coils and empty liquid channels faster — pause to let wick re-saturate.

Charging safety

Use the cable/charger recommended for the device, avoid soft surfaces that trap heat, and don’t leave charging unattended overnight.

Claimed puffs

The marketing puff count on a disposable or pod box. The WINDBAR disposable puff calculator divides tank millilitres by that number to estimate millilitres per puff — not a lab fuel gauge.

Nicotine vs cigarettes

An educational comparison of nicotine mass in e-liquid versus a cigarette figure. The WINDBAR nicotine vs cigarettes calculator is not absorbed dose and not medical advice.

Also: cigarette equivalent, mg nicotine per day
