An intermediate vape kit is a type of vape that offers a more customisable experience, as well as features that aren't commonly found with beginner vape kits. They offer a few more advanced features while still maintaining a simple-to-use style. A mid level vape kit is perfect for people who are looking to move away from a more restrictive pod kit and toy with the different settings and features vaping can offer. Most of the time you can continue with the vape juice you've been using with your beginner vape kit, as long as the intermediate kit allows for MTL vaping.
Intermediate vape kits usually utilise a few more advanced features like airflow control, varied resistance coils, and the option of button and inhale activated draw. Some kits featured in our intermediate vape kit collection are also featured in our beginner vape or advanced vape collection. This is because there's a choice of features on these kits. You could use the screen or the airflow adjustment of a beginner kit to make it more intermediate.
If you're looking to move to a more advanced vape kit from a starter kit, it's better to begin with an intermediate vape kit. This way you don't end up paying unnecessary amounts for an advanced vape kit that you may not even enjoy. Especially if you're still using high nicotine strength e-liquid which can only be used in MTL pod kits.
A lot of people end up confused to whether they're vaping the correct way, especially when terms like MTL (mouth-to-lung) and DTL (direct-to-lung) are being thrown around the place. In simple terms, MTL vaping is when you use your vape like a cigarette, inhaling the vapour into your mouth before 'taking it back' into your lungs. DTL vaping is when you inhale the vapour directly into your lungs, like you were taking a deep breath. Both styles are vaping can be the preferred way, it just depends on what your goals are when it comes to vaping.
Some intermediate kits feature ways of vaping MTL and DTL, making them versatile and easier to learn vaping with. The main difference between MTL vaping and DTL vaping is which e-liquids are used. MTL vaping is done with high PG e-liquids with the most common ratio being 50VG/50PG. These juices offer a moderate throat hit and subtle vapour production whether they feature nicotine salt or freebase nicotine. DTL juices feature a high-vg content making them thick and best suited to high-power coils. The most common ratio for DTL juices are 70VG/30PG. They produce thick and flavourful clouds and usually feature no more than 3mg of nicotine.
You're better off with MTL vaping if you're looking to mimic smoking a cigarette, you like discreet clouds with a moderate throat hit, and you like/need high nicotine strengths.
You should choose DTL vaping if you enjoy a low nicotine strength, enjoy 'cloud-chasing', and a smooth nicotine hit.
Just like most other vape kits, intermediate vape kits usually contain the body of the kit (sometimes known as the battery or mod), the vape tank or refillable pod, and sometimes a few replacement coils and a charging cable. Some intermediate vape kits require an external battery, however some feature a built-in internal battery. Intermediate vape kits may just come with a few extra components compared to beginner vape kits like extra glass for your tank or replacement coils however this doesn't mean beginner vape kits don't sometimes include these things. Usually the more intermediate options are features that are built in. This could be variable wattage, a concise airflow control method, or even an information screen.
