![]() Some of us have had to learn the hard way! If you try this, you will be presented with a flashing button, and if the battery has a screen, it will read something along the lines of ‘atomiser short’ or ‘no atomiser’.īare in mind that just because your battery might offer a high wattage maximum, it doesn’t mean you need to use it! Using wattage higher than the coils recommended amount, will result in burins the cotton in the coil. You will not be able to use a sub-ohm tank on a MTL battery as the batteries simply do not have enough power to fire up the tank. Another reason sub-ohm batteries/mods are a lot bigger is that, using a device at 40W+ requires a lot of energy, and you will go through your battery like there’s no tomorrow if you’re using a small one! This is because these batteries are designed to output 80W to upwards of 230W. As these coils require a lot of power (wattage), you normally find the batteries are a lot bigger. Sub-ohm coils on the other hand are completely different when it comes to batteries. In theory, you should be able to put your MTL tank on any battery and it should work perfectly, providing you adjust your settings accordingly. Because as mentioned above, most plus-ohm coils will operate at an average of 8-17W. When you buy a plus-ohm kit, the majority of the time, the battery will not go higher than 40W (if your battery allows you to adjust your settings) as its simply not needed with a plus-ohm coil. Plus-ohm coils can work on pretty much any battery because they do not require a lot of power to be used. We would say the average coil would require 40-70W nowadays but as mentioned above, check the side of your coil and it should tell you the recommended wattage setting. Depending on the coil and resistance, they can work from 30-120W+. The wattage setting required for sub-ohm coils vary greatly. For example 0.15 ohm, 0.3 ohm, 0.5 ohm etc etc. Sub-ohm devices use coils which have a resistance reading of below 1 ohm. Sub-ohm devices are designed to produce large clouds of vapour. It is like breathing through a big straw. With a sub-ohm device, imagine taking a big breath through your mouth, direct to you lungs and exhaling straight away. The way you vape a sub-ohm device varies greatly compared to a MTL device. Sometimes we will call sub-ohm vaping direct-to-lung. Sub-ohm refers to the resistance of the coil being below 1 ohm. If you check the side of your coil, it should tell you the resistance, and the recommended wattage range in small writing. On average, most will work between 8-17W. ![]() Most MTL coils at this kind of resistance would not require a lot of power (wattage) to fire up. For example 1.2 ohm, 1.6 ohm, 1.8 ohm etc etc. When looking at MTL coils, they will all have a resistance above 1 ohm. MTL devices are generally smaller than sub-ohm devices, operate at lower settings, produce less vapour, and feel a bit more like a cigarette. We might also call these devices plus-ohm devices. Pretty much just like you would with a cigarette, gently drawing vapour into your mouth, before taking a double inhale down into your lungs. MTL stands for mouth-to-lung, which refers to the way in which you inhale using a MTL device. When we talk about sub-ohm and MTL, what we’re really talking about is the resistance of the coil – but all other components play their part and we will explain below. Whichever vaping device you use, be that a modest pen-style device to a large box mod device, they all have the same four important components:Īs we all know, once you activate your battery, it places an electrical charge into the coil, which in turn heats up the e-liquid in the tank, turning it into vapour. Here we will go into more detail to fully explain the two different terms, giving you pros and cons for each, and the do’s and don’ts. There is a major difference between the two types of devices and getting the wrong device is a major factor for people failing to make the transition from cigarettes to vaping. ![]() After a recent survey, we found that many people did not understand the two terms and what they really mean. Across our site, you will see that we mention sub-ohm & MTL (mouth-to-lung) a lot in our product descriptions. We have many customers who frequently visit our shops to purchase sub-ohm/MTL devices, coils, and appropriate liquid.
