How to Inhale Vape

So you’ve decided to give vaping a go, but after getting confused by your new device you’re now scouring the internet searching things like “how to inhale vape”.

Although you might feel a bit silly, this is actually surprisingly common and quite a few new users get confused the first time they pick up their shiny new device.

To help clear up the confusion and get you on the road to indulging in those delicious clouds as soon as possible, here’s how to inhale vape devices properly!

How to Inhale Vape – DTL Technique

DTL vaping is exactly as it sounds. Unlike MTL where you inhale to your mouth and then your lungs, with DTL you inhale the vapour straight into your lungs.

In order to perform DTL vaping you’ll need a sub-ohm device which is capable of vaporising an e-liquid that’s high in vegetable glycerine (VG). If you try to DTL using a plus-ohm device and a 50/50 e-liquid it’ll likely be too harsh and produce insufficient vapour.

To DTL vape, start by placing your lips around the mouthpiece before pressing the fire button and inhaling slowly. The only difference here is rather than inhaling it into your mouth, take it straight into your lungs instead, as if you’re breathing from the vape device.

When you first start vaping this way, it can feel different to what you’re used to and this technique is generally not advised for beginners, although in the end it all comes down to how you feel.

As well as MTL and DTL vaping, there are a few other vaping styles. These include restricted direct-to-lung (RDL) and half DL, but assuming you’re just starting your vaping journey then it’s probably not wise to confuse things!
