L

Liquid- Another way of referring to e-liquid without the “E.”

Lung Hit-  Lung Hit is a vaping technique where the vapour is directly inhaled into the lungs, bypassing the mouth. The ability to achieve a direct lung hit depends on the device, tank, and coils used. Sub-ohm vaping is ideal for achieving a big lung hit because the atomizer has a resistance below 1.0 ohms.

Low Resistance- An outdated term for sub-ohm vaping involves using coils with a resistance below 1.0 ohms.

M

MTL – Mouth to lung- The most common vaping technique where the vapour is first drawn into the mouth before inhaled into the lungs.

Mod-  Mod is a term that can describe modifying a non-vaping-related item to be used as a vaporizer. In vaping, a mod generally refers to a device modified or designed for use with e-cigarettes.

Micro Coil-A type of coil used in vaping wrapped with the wire touching creates a tightly wound coil with a high surface area, resulting in better flavour and vapour production.

Mechanical mod- Mechanical mod is a vaping device with no built-in safety features or protection circuitry. A mechanical mod consists of a metal tube, a battery, a connector, and a firing button, making it unregulated and potentially dangerous for inexperienced users. 

N
