Hey MTL crew! Ever notice how some juices taste amazing at one wattage but totally flat at another? It’s not just you—the right power setting can make or break your flavor experience, especially in mouth-to-lung vaping.
So let’s geek out on the perfect wattage ranges for different e-liquid types in MTL setups. Drop your own findings too—we’ll crowdsource the ultimate cheat sheet!
General MTL Wattage Sweet Spot
Most MTL coils thrive between 10W-20W, but flavor type tweaks the ideal range:
1. Fruit Flavors (e.g., strawberry, mango, citrus)
- Best at 10W-15W
- Lower heat preserves bright, crisp notes. Too high = “cooked fruit” taste.
2. Icy/Menthol/Koolada Juices
- Best at 12W-18W
- Slightly higher wattage amplifies cooling without muting the flavor base.
3. Desserts/Bakery (e.g., custard, vanilla, pastry)
- Best at 15W-20W
- Extra warmth helps “bake” those rich, sweet notes. Too low = bland doughiness.
4. Nicotine Strength Matters!
- High-nic (20mg+ salts): Stick to 10W-14W to avoid harshness.
- Low-nic (3mg-12mg freebase): Can push to 12W-18W for fuller flavor.
5. PG/VG Ratio Tweaks
- 50/50 or 60/40 PG-heavy: Shines at 12W-15W (wicking efficiency!).
- 70/30 VG-heavy: Needs 15W-20W to avoid dry hits (thicker juice = slower wicking).
Pro Tip:
- Start at the lowest recommended wattage and bump up 2W at a time until flavor peaks.
- There are more and more mixed flavors of e-liquids now, and the wattage mentioned above may not be suitable for your specific e-liquid. The best way is to keep trying.
