What Does RDTL Vaping Mean?

Are you after bigger clouds of vapour than what you'd get from an MTL (Mouth To Lung) kit but feel like you're not quite ready for a huge, complicated DTL (Direct To Lung) style sub ohm kit just yet? Well, what if we told you that there's actually a middle ground between the two? Today, we're going to tell you about RDTL (Restricted Direct To Lung) vaping and what to expect from it.

So as you may know, MTL style vaping is the process of drawing vapour into the mouth and then inhaling it into the lungs to mimic the sensation of a cigarette with a discreet amount of vapour. On the other hand, DTL vaping means that vapour is inhaled directly into the lungs, similar in method to using a shisha pipe, in that it can create a more full-on vaping experience with a large amount of vapour produced.

So what do we mean by RDTL vaping? As mentioned, it's somewhat of a middle ground between MTL and DTL. It resembles either a tighter DTL inhale that creates a little less vapour or a looser MTL inhale with slightly larger clouds.

The rise in popularity of this style of vaping came about around the time pod kits hit the market. As pod kits generally featured smaller batteries and more compact designs, they couldn't deliver high enough wattages required for DTL vaping. However, they were powerful enough and produced a sufficient amount of vapour for an RDTL style inhale.

In a remarkable moment of coincidence (OK it might have been good market insight), pod kit manufacturers stumbled across RDTL vaping - at exactly the time when an increasing number of vapers were moving away from sub ohm kits but didn't want to give up DTL vaping entirely. They've now become a category of their own and RDTL pod kits are quickly becoming the preferred option for many vapers.

Should you buy an RDTL kit? That depends on what you're looking for in a kit and how you vape. Since most RDTL devices tend to come in the form of pod kits, you're given a lot of options that are very easy to both use and maintain. From single button operation kits to ones that you can activate by simply puffing on the mouthpiece, these kits are a great choice for beginner vapers, as well as more experienced vapers after a simpler and more convenient experience.

You may find that RDTL vapes are more versatile than other devices, as they are often compatible with multiple types of coil. These kits will usually include an RDTL coil, as well as a higher resistance one that's suited for MTL vaping. This means if you find that an RDTL style inhale isn't really for you, you can just switch coils rather than having to buy a new kit entirely.

So, If you're after a vape that combines arguably the best qualities of a traditional MTL kit (simplicity, discreet vaping and compatibility with a higher nicotine strength e-liquid), along with the strengths of a sub ohm kit (a looser, more comfortable inhale with deeper flavour), then an RDTL kit should definitely be considered. Thanks to their growing popularity, you'll find different styles of kits at a range of price points.
