How much air mixes with vapor. Tighter airflow suits MTL; more open airflow suits DL.
Airflow changes how warm a puff feels at the same wattage. Tighten airflow before you raise watts on an MTL coil.
When this matters
Adjust airflow before you chase higher wattage on a coil that feels harsh — many MTL issues are airflow mismatches, not nicotine strength.

Airflow questions
How does airflow change flavor at the same wattage?
More airflow cools the coil and can thin flavor; tighter airflow warms the vapor. Adjust airflow before you chase higher watts on MTL coils.
Which airflow suits MTL?
Tighter draws match higher-ohm MTL coils. Open airflow is paired with DL heads — mixing styles often tastes off.
