MTL Coils

The quality and craftsmanship of the mouth-to-lung coils you use in your vape are one of the factors that determine flavour and vapour production. If you want enjoyable MTL vaping, you need to ensure that you use a coil designed for this purpose.

Made from quality materials, traditional MTL coils are a length of resistance wire twisted around wicking material. The wicking material absorbs e-liquid from the device’s tank, and the coiled wire heats up to produce vapour. These coils produce less vapour than sub-ohm coils.

Mesh coils use a strip of resistance mesh instead of wire. They have grown in popularity over the past few years, as many vapers say mesh coils offer more intense flavour and a more consistent vaping experience. We love them both here at LOV, so the choice comes down to your personal preferences.

If you compare coils designed for mouth-to-lung vaping with sub-ohm coils intended for direct-to-lung (DTL) vaping, you’ll notice that MTL coils are usually smaller than DTL coils. They’re typically made from thinner resistance wire, such as 28 or 30 gauge, because the lower wattages used in mouth-to-lung vape coils mean they don’t need to handle as much power as DTL coils.

Even though mouth-to-lung coils are made with thinner wire or mesh, they usually have higher resistances than sub-ohm coils. This is due to the gauge, diameter, and the number of wraps in the coil all playing a role in resistance. The more wraps in a coil, the higher the resistance; the higher the resistance, the less power it takes to heat up. This means you can use these coils with lower-powered vapes and smaller batteries.

The unit of measuring how much the coil wire resists the electrical current’s flow is ohms (Ω). Vape coils made for MTL vaping have resistances ranging from around 0.8 ohms to 1.5 ohms. Find the perfect MTL coil for your vape kit here at LOV.
