The vaping world has its own shorthand, and the first time you hear terms like MTL, DTL, nic salts or mesh coil it can feel confusing. This glossary explains the words you will see most often when reading about devices like the ALIBARBAR INGOT 9000 Puffs and UMIN SLICKPLUS 10000 Puffs.
Overview
Inhalation Styles
- MTL (mouth-to-lung): Draw vapour into your mouth first, then inhale to your lungs. Feels like a cigarette.
- DTL (direct-to-lung): Inhale vapour straight to your lungs. Produces more vapour and a cooler feel.
Nicotine and Coil Terms
- Nicotine salts: A form of nicotine that is smoother at higher strengths.
- Freebase nicotine: The traditional form, often harsher on the throat at higher strengths.
- Mesh coil: A coil made from a mesh sheet rather than wire, giving better flavour and consistency.
- Puff count: An estimate of how many draws a device can deliver under standard conditions.
Putting It Together
When you shop for a disposable vape, you want a device that matches your inhalation style, nicotine preference and flavour taste. Our complete buying guide walks you through the decision step by step.
Terms You Will See on Packaging
Beyond the everyday vocabulary, packaging carries its own shorthand. E-liquid capacity is shown in millilitres, nicotine concentration in milligrams per millilitre or as a percentage, and battery capacity in milliamp hours. Learning these three units makes any two devices directly comparable.
You will also see certification marks such as CE and ROHS. These indicate manufacturing and materials standards. They are useful quality signals but they are not Australian regulatory approvals, and it is worth keeping that distinction clear when comparing products.

Frequently asked questions
What should I decide first?
Start with how you actually vape - flavour preference, puff needs and budget - then narrow down. Our related guides cover each step in more detail.
What common mistake should I avoid?
The most common slip is buying from an unknown seller. Stick to authorised stock, check the seal and batch code, and confirm the product is right for you before use.
How should I store the device?
Keep it upright at room temperature, away from direct sun and heat. Good storage protects flavour and battery life and avoids leaks.
Where are nicotine vapes supplied in Australia?
Nicotine vaping products are a regulated therapeutic good supplied to adults through pharmacies and authorised channels under the TGA framework. Check current state rules where you live.
