18mm Merlin Nano Vape Tank Atomizer
Pod systems are currently one of the hottest categories in the e-cigarette market, and close behind them are tank atomizers designed for mouth-to-lung vaping. In the industry, this category is known as MTL RTA (mouth-to-lung rebuildable tank atomizer). In this article, we’ll take a look at a distinctive new product: the AUGVAPE MERLIN NANO MTL RTA.
MERLIN is a classic series within the AUGVAPE lineup and has already produced multiple products. This small tank atomizer, called the NANO, features an 18 mm diameter, 2 ml e-liquid capacity (expandable to 3.5 ml with an extension tank), and a slot-style airflow system with switchable airflow hole sizes... Clearly, this is a product built for mouth-to-lung use.
Most users of MTL RTA devices use nicotine salt e-liquid in strengths of 20 mg to 35 mg. On devices designed for this type of e-liquid, the narrow and elongated chimney can provide a comfortable, smooth inhaling experience, and the MERLIN NANO uses exactly this kind of slim, long chimney design.
The hidden slot airflow, combined with three adjustment settings—1 mm (single hole), 1.2 mm (single hole), and 1 mm (dual hole)—makes it clear that this atomizer is intended purely for mouth-to-lung draw resistance. However, depending on the airflow size, it can still accommodate a certain range of build data, such as 30G, 28G, or 26G wire...
Another highlight of this atomizer is the PEEK chamber dome inside the atomization chamber. This material offers significant advantages in heat control, helping ensure that the temperature inside the narrow chamber does not interfere with the flavor of the e-liquid to the greatest extent possible.
The MERLIN series is one of AUGVAPE’s key product lines. Since entering 2019, the development of the e-cigarette market has clearly been moving toward mouth-to-lung and portable use, and the overall positioning and design of the MERLIN NANO MTL RTA are obviously products of that trend. Of course, how it performs in actual use can only be determined through hands-on testing of the real product. Those who are interested may want to keep an eye on official release announcements...
