Switching To MTL

I'm thinking about trying MTL vaping again (It's Matty Vapes) Im down to 2mg nic on sub ohm RTA..What would be good range to try in terms of nic on a MTL set up? Also do flavorings come down? I'm sick of the comments on my huge clouds in public lol It's embarrassing

I went from chain vaping 3mgl DTL to 20-24mgl salts MTL. If you're going store bought salt nic just get whatever the lowest nic they have in that particular flavor, which will likely be in the 20mgl range. If you're not going to mtl salts and just use regular juice ymmv,, but I'd start with a small bottle and err on the higher side of nic strength...though you may be fine at 3 or 6 mgl. Different strokes for different folks.

As for flavor, that's largely up to the tank, but the higher in nic strength you go the more bite it tends to have, salt or no salt. There are a few good flavor tanks out there though, so if you choose wisely and build well you should be content. I am anyway. Haven't touched any of my dtl toppers in forever.

thanks for the reply..i guess im tryna quit eventually soonish so going up in nic would be counter productive..unless i could figure out the equivalent of 2mg...mtl style. maybe its a stupid idea after all :facepalm:

Nah, lots of people use low strength regular juice mtl. Try your 2mgl, you never know! If you're heading towards eliminating it altogether that would be a significant reduction in intake all by itself. If you manage mtl at your current 2, roll with it, if not then grab the cloudmaker until you can get some 6mgl, and go from there. Not a stupid idea at all.

I like your thinking thank you.

I just use my regular 3mg juice or 3mg 50/50 in pods....
Yep, a lot of people do what you're doing in pods.

I went from low builds, high power and clouds for days to loose mtl vaping. I vaped salts at 20mg which gave me about the same throat hit as my 6mg free base. They do make 12 and 14mg free base as well that could be an option for the op.

I vape 0 - 1.5 mg at 13'ish watts, tight dl using mainly these DoggyStyle RTAs with the airflow wide open. I can vape my build at ~10 watts with the air restricted enough to have a (to me) decent MTL draw, and actually get more TH doing it MTL than my DL vaping. Keep in mind though I vape 100% PG and always have a bit of menthol in my mixes. With no nic there is no TH but the high PG and menthol help a little.

I started vaping back in 2012 with an eGo-C setup at around 7 watts using 18 mg nic. In about a year I was vaping mech mods at 30-40 watts, nic free, and stayed there for about a year. I slowly started using a little nic again after that to get some TH again. I love TH but don't want to get dependant on nic again. I also look for 'dirty' nic that's as peppery and and harsh as I can get to maximise TH. I know, I'm weird, but I haven't had a smoke in 7 1/2 years :cool:. Whatever works :)

IMO, if you aren't vaping now at high watts and don't mind less TH you may well find you'll be just fine at 2 mg. You'll see quite quickly if it works for you. I mix my own juices and use a little more flavoring at lower watts to get similar flavoring effect to higher watts. Your tank will play an important role in this too. Generally I find vaping the same juice at lower power changes the flavor notes, sometimes quite noticeably, and of course going from DL to MTL, or a different tank will also change this.

Best of luck with it and let us know how it goes for you.
