Can Mouth-to-Lung Atomizers Lead the Revival of the Cigarette Replacement Trend?
No matter how dazzling the available device types may be, vaping has always had two usage styles: direct-to-lung and mouth-to-lung. The mouth-to-lung boom of 2015-2016 and the direct-to-lung big-cloud dominance of 2016-2017 each marked key stages in the i
No matter how dazzling the variety of devices available, e-cigarettes have always revolved around two usage methods: mouth-to-lung (MTL) and direct lung (DL). The MTL boom from 2015-2016 and the DL dominance in 2016-2017 marked significant periods in the development of the e-cigarette industry.
In 2018, a large number of MTL pod systems emerged on the market, bringing back the original convenience of smoking alternatives to players. In addition to pod systems, new products designed for MTL RTA (Rebuildable Tank Atomizer) have also started to surface. Today, we will share a product currently referred to as MTL RTA by the manufacturer, the GOTANK, a 22MM MTL RTA from FUMYTECH.
The packaging reveals that this is an atomizer with a slender mouthpiece. The biggest difference between the GOTANK MTL RTA and the ROSE MTL RTA is its retro 22MM diameter, which allows for compatibility with more compact devices. However, before diving into the detailed introduction, it is important to mention a so-called professional term: MTL. Whether it’s the previous GTA or today’s MTL, it is merely a term with a distinctive nature; ultimately, these types of devices are still a kind of RTA (hereafter referred to as GOTANK).
The manufacturer provides four pre-made high-resistance Clapton coils, along with some standard spare parts like O-rings, screws, and glass tanks. A screwdriver and cotton are also common complimentary accessories. The overall design of the GOTANK aligns well with current aesthetic trends in atomizers, featuring a classic black and white color scheme and a cylindrical design that is quite versatile.
The compact airflow system, negative pressure oil guiding structure, and slender small-diameter mouthpiece are all characteristics of MTL devices. The two sets of airflow adjustment at the bottom, with five holes and three holes respectively, provide the GOTANK with an extremely rich range of airflow resistance adjustments, catering to all preferences from tight single-hole draws to light lung hits with eight holes.
The top-fill system has a strong retro flavor, and the workmanship and assembly smoothness are outstanding. Players who have experienced the era of chess pieces will surely recall the painful "unscrewing" method of refilling, which has become obsolete in today’s atomizers due to advancements in structural design, bringing more convenience to users.
Whether MTL or GTA, the GOTANK features a simple and direct structure, utilizing a popular floating electrode deck that ensures good support for both rebuilding and top-filling. The straightforward wicking process and foolproof cotton stuffing allow for ample contact between the cotton and e-liquid, making this new type of MTL device no longer limited to 50% VG e-liquids. Furthermore, this oil guiding design maximizes the airtightness of the top-fill system.
The anti-leak design consists of two layers, located inside and outside the dome. Without discussing whether this anti-leak accessory affects the inhalation experience, it is worth noting that this area can easily accumulate condensation during use. If you notice gurgling sounds or accidentally come into contact with the condensation, simply clean it with a paper towel, as it does not significantly affect performance.
The smooth and refined finish of the elongated mouthpiece feels reasonable in both design and performance. The top cap of the atomizer features a non-slip knurling treatment, although it is not obvious in the pictures. The force required to open the top cap during use is straightforward, and refilling never results in leakage.
The locking posts on the electrode deck provide good stability for the wire. The included Clapton coil has a 3.0mm diameter (around 0.77 ohms). If you are a beginner using this atomizer, please pay attention to the gap between the coil and the electrode deck. The cotton stuffing process does not need to be repeated; simply insert the cotton into the holes. If beginners encounter unsatisfactory oil guiding speed, they can consider sealing the holes with cotton that is fully saturated with e-liquid.
Using the original coil with a thicker e-liquid (3MG concentration), I experienced the GOTANK with the airflow fully open and a light lung hit. The resistance felt quite noticeable, and the various aromas of the complex e-liquid were evenly restored with sufficient concentration. Additionally, the single Clapton coil did not become excessively hot even with consecutive draws. The GOTANK performed excellently with e-liquids that many older MTL RTAs struggle to handle.
When the airflow is closed to a certain extent, the GOTANK also demonstrates a compelling performance. It does not limit itself to using high-resistance parameters like 28G/30G/A1; for instance, using a coil designed for MTL with A1/26G/2.5/8 wraps, when the airflow is adjusted to a minimum of one hole, it can provide a familiar inhalation experience akin to KFLP. However, in terms of overall compatibility, the GOTANK surpasses the former.
Under the usage of MTL coil parameters, the GOTANK has relatively low requirements for the device. Almost any device on the market can meet the demand of 30W as the upper limit. This type of MTL RTA, in a certain sense, allows many players to reconnect with devices they had previously set aside.
Looking at the overall trend of e-cigarette development, it is not difficult to see that the original demand for "smoking alternatives" will reignite. This is not only related to the bottlenecks of large cloud devices but also intricately linked to the changing mindset of players. We should not doubt that the birth of e-cigarettes indeed stemmed from the need for smoking alternatives and cessation. While large cloud devices are sufficiently bold and individualistic, they will always fall short in meeting daily smoking replacement needs due to various factors.
The FUMYTECH GOTANK combines the essence of both ancient and modern designs in terms of structure and appearance. Its craftsmanship is outstanding, and as an MTL-oriented RTA, its airflow adjustment and compatibility are highly responsive to user needs. Whether you seek the nostalgic FKLP-like experience or the new era's single-coil complex experience, it can provide you with a great user experience...
