Are you wondering what an MTL vape juice is? The short answer is that it is an e-liquid that produces moderate to minimal vapour levels and is popular with new vapers and vapers seeking a cigarette-like vaping experience. But how and why?
Today, we’re going to provide a brief explanation of what exactly this vape juice is. Once you’ve read this short guide, you’ll have a much better understanding of MTL eliquids and vape juices in general.
What Are MTL E-liquids?
MTL e-liquids or mouth-to-lung vape juices use either a 50 VG (Vegetable glycerine) / 50 PG (Propylene Glycol) mix ratio or a higher PG content. These e-liquids tend to have a similar viscosity to water and are “runnier” than DTL (direct-to-lung) e-liquids.
So, what does it mean for you? If you use an MTL e-liquid with DTL tanks, DTL pods, or DTL coils that are not designed for it, you will get a sticky and messy leak. And, as mentioned earlier, the PG VG ratio blend of this e-liquid type means that you get moderate vapour. You also have more nicotine strength options with a MTL liquid unlike high-VG vape juices which produces bigger clouds.
Keep in mind that this e-liquid type is for MTL vaping, which is distinct from DTL vaping in that it replicates the act of drawing cigarette smoke into the mouth and lung with a combination of expanding mouth pressure and a subsequent intake of breath.
Not all MTL vape juice is nic salted, but all nic salt e-liquids are MTL e-liquids.
Is VG or PG Better for MTL Vape Juice?
PG is better for MTL vape juice because it provides a looser consistency that won’t gum up MTL vape coils. On the other hand, VG is a thicker substance that only DTL devices and coils can optimally atomise for big cloud vaping.
MTL liquids should always have an equal 50/50 split of PG vs VG or a higher PG ratio than VG. Though rare, there are a few people with a PG intolerance who may find MTL liquids to be too irritating to use. We recommend these people instead try vaping on 100% VG e-liquids.
What Is the Best Vape for MTL E-liquids?
MTL vape kits are the best vapes for MTL liquids because their high-resistance coils are designed to soak and atomise thin MTL vape juices efficiently. MTL vape kits also use relatively low power outputs, which is all that is needed to convert 50/50 e-liquids into inhalable vapour.
As mentioned earlier, using Direct Lung (DL) vapes for MTL vape juices is not a good idea, as the thin e-liquid is likely to leak.
On top of this, the high power outputs of sub-ohm vapes will produce large quantities of MTL e-liquid vapour, which is likely to be uncomfortable to inhale due to its high PG content and nicotine strength.
What is the Best MTL Vape Juice?
Since MTL vape juices are very popular, you have a lot of flavour choices to choose from! You have menthol, tobacco, and even fruit. Truthfully, it can be overwhelming, so we have taken the time to put together a roundup of what we believe is the best MTL vape juices below:
- MIST Bar Salts Classic Tobacco Leaf
- MIST Originals Virginia Tobacco
- MIST Bar Salts Arctic Xtreme
MIST Bar Salts Classic Tobacco Leaf
Best MTL Vape Juice
9.5/10

Features We Love
Baccy Bae
Authentic tobacco essences used for flavour
Easy Does It
Smooth and gentle throat hit
Nic Pick
Wide selection of nicotine strengths.
While fruit, pudding, and candy flavours are brilliant, the main goal of most vapers is still tobacco smoke reduction. And, Classic Tobacco Leaf from the MIST Bar Salts range delivers a perfect recreation of your old favourite vice in a smooth and multi-strength form.
As a bar salt, Classic Tobacco Leaf uses benzoic acid-enhanced nicotine salts to reduce the alkaline content of the e-liquid, providing a much smoother inhale that both social and seasoned smokers will find satisfying.
The flavour is like an immersive memory of smoking: gentle and soothing, flavoured with genuine tobacco leaf essences to replicate the nostalgic smoky note of cigarettes.
Best of all, unlike most bar salts and nic salts, which only offer 10mg and 20mg, Classic Tobacco Leaf is available in 3mg, 6mg, 12mg, and 18mg to assist you in reducing your nicotine intake. In our opinion, this is the best MTL e-liquid that you can get your hands on today.
Pros
- Authentic tobacco leaf flavour
- Strength options to help you reduce nicotine intake
- Gentle chest and throat hit thanks to nicotine salts
Cons
- Nic salt e-liquids are not to every smoker’s taste
- No 0mg version is available

MIST Originals Virginia Tobacco
Best for: Tobacco
9.4/10
Total
Features We Love
Keep Rolling: Gentle and pleasant taste of rolling tobacco
Thick or Thin: Available in 70PG and 70VG versions
Zero Hero: 0mg version available for those who’ve quit nicotine
While we picked Classic Tobacco Leaf as the winner, we feel it’s essential to acknowledge freebase e-liquid’s unique properties. Bar salts are smooth and easy to inhale, many longtime smokers find them a bit too gentle on the throat and chest and prefer the ‘kick’ provided by traditional freebase nicotine e-liquids.
Virginia, from the MIST Originals range, delivers a subtle rolling tobacco taste and a noticeably strong chest hit.
What’s more, Virginia is available in both Standard (70PG / 30VG) and Extra Vapour (70VG / 30PG) mixes. This makes rich and authentically flavoured tobacco e-liquids available to sub-ohm vapers, usually overlooked in this flavour category.
All the strengths offered by Classic Tobacco Leaf are present, and there are even 0mg bottles for those who are nic-free but nostalgic for old tastes.
Pros
- Subtle rolling tobacco profile
- Available in DTL and MTL e-liquid mixes
- Great value 10-packs
Cons
- No shortfill options
- Not sold as nic salt e-liquids

Features We Love
Pure Frost: No unnecessary distracting sweetness
Botanical Beauty: Lightly flavoured with herbal menthol
Cheap Chill: Only £2.50 per bottle when buying ten or more
Cool menthol vapes have the dual effect of both satisfying nicotine cravings and providing you with an invigorating frosty chill every time you puff. Arctic Xtreme from the MIST Bar Salts line delivers cool hits without letting any superfluous flavours get in the way of the icy refreshment.
While menthol usually has to play guest star in a fruity vape blend, Arctic Xtreme cuts to the chase and provides straightforward ice with every inhale.
Subtly flavoured with botanical menthol, the cooling waves of vapour cascade down the throat delightfully, ensuring refreshment without any lingering sugary taste.
Much like the Classic Tobacco Leaf above, Arctic Xtreme has four distinct nicotine strengths that suit different levels of need.
Pros
- Pure, unadulterated chills
- Huge range of different nic salt strengths
- Very affordably priced
Cons
- Lack of sweetness may disappoint some vapers
- A bit too cold for outdoor winter mouth-to-lung vaping
