Kit Wenax M2 - GeekVape

The difference between an MTL (Mouth To Lung) and DTL (Direct To Lung) electronic cigarette concerns the type of inhalation. With MTL, the vapour is first held in the mouth before being inhaled, as with a traditional cigarette. With DTL, the vapour is inhaled directly into the lungs, producing a larger volume of vapour, similar to a hookah. MTL is often recommended for new vapers who wish to stop smoking, whilst DTL is aimed at more experienced vapers who have already successfully made the transition from tobacco to vaping.

For beginners, it is advisable to choose an electronic cigarette that is easy to use, with few settings, moderate power, and a tight draw (MTL). Pod kits or beginner kits are generally the most suitable for a successful first experience. However, some new vapers who are comfortable with settings and maintenance may prefer to move towards adjustable and upgradeable equipment. It all depends on each person's level of ease.

A heavy smoker will need a reliable electronic cigarette offering good battery life (between 1200 and 5000 mAh) and a tight draw to better absorb nicotine and avoid cravings. Versatile kits compatible with MTL and RDL (tight or slightly airy draw) are often an excellent compromise for an effective transition to vaping. This electronic cigarette should be paired with nicotine salt e-liquids to effectively curb cravings.

The lifespan of an electronic cigarette depends on its quality, maintenance, and frequency of use. On average, a well-maintained kit can last several months or even several years, with only the wear parts such as coils or cartridges needing replacement. It is estimated that the lithium battery inside an electronic cigarette has an optimal lifespan of 300 charge/discharge cycles before gradually declining. To extend this lifespan, make sure to charge your electronic cigarette using mains sockets of 1A maximum (unless otherwise indicated by the manufacturer) in order to minimise heat build-up in the electronics.

Good news! Electronic cigarettes are becoming increasingly accessible for all budgets and you are in the right place at Le Vapoteur Discount to enjoy the best prices on the web. It is estimated that the average price of an electronic cigarette is around 35 euros. You will find electronic cigarettes from as little as 10 euros for the smallest models, and up to 80 euros for the most advanced ones.

The electronic cigarette is considered significantly less harmful than the traditional cigarette, as it does not rely on combustion. It is primarily used as an alternative to tobacco to reduce the risks associated with smoking. It is often described as "a healthier alternative" to tobacco or a "cessation aid device" for the traditional cigarette. When used correctly (preferably in MTL), combined with good e-liquids (French and certified) and maintained regularly (cleaning and coil replacement every 2 weeks), it becomes a very good tool to help quit tobacco, which is itself very dangerous.

Many smokers use the electronic cigarette as a smoking cessation tool. By reproducing the gesture, the sensation, the inhalation, and the nicotine intake, it facilitates the gradual quitting of tobacco. Success depends on using it in an appropriate manner: the right inhalation (MTL), the right flavour, the right nicotine level, the right design, and a level of maintenance that suits the vaper. Every smoker is unique and will require a strategy tailored to their needs, but the latest studies (such as the Cochrane study of 1 March 2025) show that: "Nicotine e-cigarettes can help people stop smoking for at least six months. Evidence suggests they work better than nicotine replacement therapies, and probably better than nicotine-free e-cigarettes.". The use of nicotine salt e-liquids would also be an asset: "However, we still need evidence, particularly on the effects of new types of e-cigarettes that deliver nicotine better than older ones, as better nicotine delivery could help more people stop smoking."

Most electronic cigarettes offer automatic power adjustment by detecting the resistance value (auto or smart mode). Other models offer the possibility of precise manual adjustment. To find the right power for your electronic cigarette, check the recommendations printed on the coil (or pod cartridge). You will find the recommended power range for optimal use. Tip: if your coil is new, remember to leave it submerged in the e-liquid for a few minutes so it does not burn on first use. Also set the power to the lowest level recommended by the manufacturer for the first few puffs.

Maintaining an electronic cigarette is straightforward. It mainly involves cleaning the tank or cartridge and replacing the coil when it is worn out. Regular maintenance ensures a healthier vape, better performance, and a longer lifespan. It is estimated that on average a coil should be changed every 2 to 3 weeks at most. Take the opportunity to deep clean your clearomiser or cartridge. The drip tip alone can be cleaned with soapy water every day if you wish.

An electronic cigarette with an integrated battery charges directly via a USB cable and is simple to use. Models with removable batteries allow you to replace the battery, often offering greater autonomy, power, and longevity, but require a little more initial expense, knowledge, and equipment to safely charge and transport these batteries.

Yes, you are allowed to carry an electronic cigarette on a plane, but only in the cabin. It must be switched off and not used during the flight. Batteries are prohibited in the hold for safety reasons. As for your e-liquids, they must not exceed 100 ml to travel with you in the cabin. Remember to carry your e-liquid bottles and your clearomiser (or pod cartridge) in a sealed plastic bag. These may leak due to changes in pressure inside the aircraft.

If you are travelling abroad, remember to check the legislation regarding electronic cigarettes. Some countries prohibit their use and may expose you to fines (examples in 2026: Cambodia, India, Laos, Qatar, Singapore, Thailand). Others allow possession of an electronic cigarette, but you will not find any vape shops to buy your e-liquids.
