I’ve been vaping for more than a decade, and in that time, I’ve reviewed several iStick mods and kits. In the old days, 2011-2016, eLeaf/Joyetech were one of the most proficient and prolific vape gear manufacturers on the market. This may be 2023, but it isn’t the first iStick 40 we’ve reviewed. That would be [...]
It’s been a minute since we reviewed a true beginner’s vape device -- read: “not a pod mod.” Simple, but not dumb. Powerful, but not unwieldy. Compact, without being too limited. The Vaporesso GTX One kit is designed as an entry-level mouth-to-lung (MTL) setup, but to label it this way seems almost unfair. This is [...]
As one of the fastest growing and most regularly enjoyed habits around today, vaping is slowly but surely working to overtake smoking entirely as the preferred personal form of smoking. If you are looking for a way to enjoy vaping, experience better vaping, then it pays to invest a bit of time and effort into [...]
The mouth-to-lung (MTL) vaping resurgence is officially in full swing. It’s not a fad. It’s not a trend. It’s the industry coming full-circle, bringing vaping back from the land of “sport” and placing it in front of ex-smokers, where these products belong. And maybe that’s the reasoning behind the name of the all-new GeekVape Flint [...]
It’s the holidays, so I’m going to try and be more understanding and kind. But I just don’t understand the need for setups like the Uwell Hypercar 80W mod starter kit. I mean, it’s FINE, and does an adequate job… but I have no idea who this rig is for. “Why does it have to be [...]
Okay. Okay. I am convinced now that Mouth-to-Lung vaping will become a major segment of vaping community. I don’t know why, but more and more MTL atomizers, from RDAs and RTAs to prebuilt coil head tanks, mouth to lung vaping is, for many, an attractive method of vaping, and the Uwell Whirl 20/22 Vape Pen Starter [...]
Reviewing the Innokin Kroma-A & Zenith MTL Tank Starter Kit will be the first time I’ve spent a serious amount of time with an MTL (mouth-to-lung) vaping device. Back in 2013 I never believed I would be anything other than an MTL Vaper, now every MTL device I use feels strange, and it’s hard not [...]
The recent resurgence of mouth-to-lung (MTL) vape devices is no longer just a trend – both new and seasoned vapers are now seeing the benefits of a tighter, more authentic smoking-like experience over the massive cloud machines that have dominated the market. Of course, the prolific SMOK is going to capitalize on this, as evidenced [...]
In Part One of the Best All-Around Vape Tanks we discussed what vape tanks are, their components, and what makes them tick. Vape Tanks are much more than Cloud Chucker’s, or Flavor Makers. There are the Direct Lung and Mouth to Lung types, some that actually do specialize in chucking clouds, and others that specialize in flavor [...]
I was really close to titling this review “MTL for the masses,” but logic prevailed and the more-reasonable “Innokin Zenith MTL Tank Review” is what we chose. Still, my original idea has merit, because with the Zenith MTL tank, Innokin (available now at Vapor Authority) has crafted a setup that makes authentic mouth-to-lung vaping both accessible [...]
Mouth-to-lung (MTL) vaping is alive and well in 2018! Hot on the heels of the interesting Ares MTL RTA comes the Innokin Zenith MTL Tank, which is another collaborative project between Innokin and noted vape personalities Phil Busardo and Dimitris Agrafiotis. But, unlike the completely rebuildable Ares, the Zenith attempts to bring enthusiasts a true [...]
They say, “everything old is new again.” Today, we are seeing a surge in squonking, a new breed of cig-a-like pod vapes, and the the resurgence of true mouth-to-lung (MTL) vaping. So, who better to lead the resurgence than two of the most-visible proponents of MTL vaping, Phil Busardo and Dimitris Agrafiotis, who partnered with [...]
Now THIS is how to do a beginner’s Vape Device. Simplified, without being dumbed down. Powerful, without being unwieldy. Compact, without being too limited. The Wismec CB-60 kit is designed as an entry-level mouth-to-lung (MTL) setup, but to label it this way seems almost unfair. This is a perfect intro to more advanced vaping, and [...]
While I’m not the type of Vaper that enjoys MTL, or mouth-to-lung vaping, I admit that holding the new Eleaf Basal sort of makes me wish I did. I haven’t yet tried vaping CBD e-juice (Cannabidiol) with it yet, but if it works, as I suspect it will, I’m going to highly recommend it as [...]
How Do You Vape? It’s funny really, when I began vaping more than four years ago I never considered a Direct Lung (DL) style of vaping. Learning that certain people did, in fact, vape this way sort of freaked me out. I’d never seen a smoker smoke this way, and since I believed that vaping was [...]
