What Are the Best Vape Types for MTL vs. DTL Styles?

About 60% of vape users prefer the vape-like puff experience of MTL, while 40% prefer the denser smoke of DTL. So, what vape types are best suited for MTL and DTL styles? The Thelema Elite DM45 in Lostvape’s pod kit blends seamlessly with the E Plus Dual Mesh vape cartridge to provide both MTL and DTL experiences. It supports 25 W of power in MTL mode, perfect for small smoke lovers and smokers looking for a quit tool. It supports up to 45 W of power in DTL mode, ideal for smoke chasers.

Compatible with MTL and DTL vape types for maximum flexibility

For users who switch between MTL and DTL, the Thelema Elite DM45 in Lostvape’s pod kit is perfectly compatible with both modes, with a narrow channel for MTL and a wide hole for DTL. The DM45 has a power range of 25-45 W, covering both low-power nicotine salts and high-power smoke. In addition, I configured the internal chipset in the device to automatically modify the power curve and rise time when the user switches modes on the OLED display.

And the plug-and-play design of the E Plus Dual Mesh vape cartridge allows seamless replacement of coils without tools. Therefore, the dual-mode vape type can adapt to changing preferences, making it an ideal choice for users who transition from vapes to advanced vape styles or those who like smooth hits and rich smoke at the same time. At the same time, it also supports USB-C fast charging, which can provide up to 80% of power in just 30 minutes, enhancing usability and portability in daily life.

Pod kit suitable for MTL mode

Among various vape types, pod kits stand out in MTL vapes for their compact design, tight airflow, and low-power operation. In Lostvape’s pod kit, the Thelema Elite DM45 delivers consistent flavor and nicotine satisfaction at 25W, mimicking the throat hit of traditional vapes. The small draw-style pod kit is paired with a 0.6Ω coil to ensure minimal vapor production, resulting in a discreet and delicious vaping experience. In addition, refillable cartridges and replaceable coils reduce waste and costs. It also comes with an adjustable airflow ring so that users can fine-tune the draw resistance for the perfect mouth-to-mouth experience. Switching between 50/50 or nicotine salt e-liquids can enhance smoothness, making the Thelema Elite DM45 the preferred vape type for anyone seeking a realistic, controlled mouth-to-mouth experience.

Pod kit for DTL mode

On the other hand, for users who prefer DTL mode, the Thelema Elite DM45 is also compatible. In DTL mode, a low-resistance mesh coil of 0.3Ω is used, which is designed to run at high power, usually 45W, to produce a lot of smoke. Side-filled vapes and adjustable airflow allow players to maximize smoke density without dry burning. For users who like the large surface area of mesh coils, they can heat the e-liquid evenly and retain the taste when the power is increased. E Plus Dual Mesh vape cartridges, such as those used in the Thelema Elite DM45, feature a five-layer leak-proof structure, ensuring no e-liquid spillage or condensation even at 45 W. At the same time, it also has higher VG compatibility, making it an ideal choice for dessert or custard flavors.

Vape Cartridge and Coil Technology

The core of each vape type lies in its cartridge or reservoir and coil technology. The E Plus Dual Mesh e-cigarette cartridge uses parallel mesh strips to maximize the heating area, providing consistent atomization and taste. Premium Kanthal and organic cotton cores ensure fast absorption of e-liquid and minimize dry suction. Go with a 0.60Ω dual mesh coil cartridge for a balanced mouth-sweet taste, or choose a 0.3Ω single mesh coil cartridge for a rich, fine mist. This modular vape design allows e-cigarette users to customize their kit by simply replacing the cartridges, while retaining leak-proof and airflow stability. In addition, the dual-grid coil greatly improves the uniformity of vapor distribution on the cotton core, thereby reducing coil burnout and extending the service life.

Vape types with a leak-proof design

Leak-proof is critical for all types of vapes, especially dual-mode devices. The Thelema Elite DM45’s five-layer leak-proof system prevents e-liquid migration even with frequent DTL use. Users enjoy a clean pocket and worry-free maintenance. At the same time, we conducted rigorous drop and tilt tests to ensure that there will be no leaks at angles up to 60°. The quick-release cartridge mount simplifies cleaning and coil replacement, improving user satisfaction. The leak-proof design also extends the shelf life of the cartridge by maintaining internal pressure stability. In addition, its cartridge minimizes spillage during refilling and allows clean refilling even on the move. By combining leak-proof engineering with ergonomic design, these vape types bring more reliable performance to novice as well as experienced e-cigarette users.

The best vape type compatible with MTL and DTL

The best vape type that can be compatible with both MTL and DTL modes is the Thelema Elite DM45 in the Pod kit series, which can provide 25 W power for users who like MTL mode, and up to 45 W working power for users who like high-power low-ohm smoke, thanks to features such as E Plus Dual Mesh e-cigarette cartridges, E-CORE TECH 3.0 chipset and five-layer leak-proof design. In our more than 1,000 hours of internal testing, it can switch freely between MTL and DTL modes without affecting the taste or vapor density.
