Would like to try mtl

[TomCon]

Bought a zlide tank for mtl. However, finding it hard to get into from dl. I never started on mtl. Any tips or is it just not for me?

What ratio pg/vg and nic strength juice are you using @TomCon, I use 50/50 12mg to get a decent throat hit then you feel like you’re getting something from the smaller amount of vapour.

Using 60/40 at 3mg. As I use 1-2mg for dl. Maybe its the nic?

Definitely need to raise that nic. It's a suck it and see game really. Some mtl at 18mg and dtl at 3mg while my ratio of choice is 3mg if I dtl and 6mg mtl.
I'd try 6 & 12 mg next.
learn to relax when drawing too. If your used to dtl many suck away like a McDonald's milkshake straw on a winter's day.

Nip to Home Bargains or Poundland and get a couple of 10ml bottles of 6 and 12mg that 88Vape stuff isn’t too bad and see if it suits, if it does the trick go on Manabush and you will see what Mtl is all about.

It's best to think of MTL as micro vaping compared to DL, typically you will inhale far less vapour at less power and less nicotine as a result, so a higher mg nicotine will be required if you are after a decent MTL throat hit, 3mg nicotine is noticeable when DL vaping but not so much for MTL, I would try at least 6mg or 12mg of 50/50 juice.

At the moment you're vaping far less nicotine per draw compared to your DL setup if that makes sense?

For me, MTL has become an essential part of vaping since I started using nic salts, the only vape that can give me an instant nicotine high with 20mg (there's no way I could vape 20mg with normal nicotine), DL I tend to vape 1.5 to 3mg freebase.

As @andyroo says, Home Bargains or wherever is handy for you to get 10ml '88 Vape' 50/50, for under a quid you can try a few strengths and get a decent throat hit.

FWIW I used to mtl on 0 / 3mg and when I switched to 12mg it was a totally different experience. I'd def give it a go before giving up on mtl entirely.

Thanks everyone. Defo get higher nic stuff and keep at it.

In general terms, I find MTL is more of a circular breathing pull. Drag like a fag, exhale through your nose and repeat a couple of time. Then inhale like you used to when you smoked.

just a single pull doesn’t tick my boxes but the above method works for me.

note, that’s not how I used to smoke fags. It would’ve been a horrific experience exhaling smoke through the nose!
