Rebuildable MTL Atomizers (RDA) and MTL Tanks (RTA)
                     Rebuildable MTL 
Atomizers (RDA) and MTL 
Tanks (RTA)
MTL RDA vs MTL RTA
● Both RTAs and RDAs come with “Rebuildable” coils designated by “R” in both 
acronyms. The difference between the two is “T” in the former which stands 
for “Tank” and “D” in the latter which stands for “Drip”.
● The dripping-type (RDAs) requires you to manually drip e-juice onto the coil 
after several hits whereas the tank-type (RTAs) features a reservoir sitting on 
the coil that automatically fills the e-juice onto the coil allowing the vaper to 
consume numerous milliliters of vape juice before the next refilling.
● Purists will prefer RDAs as they are much simpler; no additional mechanics 
required, you only concentrate on building the coil without sidetracking or 
interfering with other issues.
What is a MTL RDA?
● MTL RDA is an acronym of Mouth to Lung Rebuildable Dripping Atomizer
● MTL RDA comes with two connections; positive and negative terminals 
meant to house the heating element (coil) used during vaping.
● Prior to vaping, you must take a wick, wet it with your e-liquid, place the cap 
in order, and start enjoying your vape juice.
● MTL RDAs come in a variety of shapes, sizes, designs, and even different 
types of coil. These devices come with plenty of space inside them to hold all 
sorts of coils.
● Also, it’s easy to replace the wick after anytime you like, enabling changing 
of flavors a relatively stress-free affair.
● If you are the kind of person who flips the table when things get out of hand, 
MTL RDAs are not the type of device that will entertain you.
What are MTL Tanks (RTA)?
● An RTA stands for Rebuildable Tank Atomizer.
● It’s a tank system that features a rebuildable coil. An RTA allows the vaper to 
fill their favorite e-liquid and vape it until it’s exhausted, and refill it.
● RTAs are categorized into two main classes: mouth to lung (MTL) RTAs and 
direct to lung (DTL) RTAs.
● DTL RTAs are characterized by the production of large vapor clouds while 
MTL RTAs use high-ohm coils operating at less-wattage to offer vapers with a 
cigarette-like feeling.
● Mouth to Lung (MTL) vaping style is making a loud comeback, thanks to the 
resurgence of modern vapes and the increasingly escalating popularity of 
nicotine salts.
Rebuildable MTL Atomizers and MTL Tanks
● Rebuildable MTL atomizers effectively integrate the convenience of the tank 
with the flexibility of the build deck.
● Most rebuildable MTL atomizers feature mechanisms of modifying the 
airflow, often in some form or a ring mounted on the tank part.
● RTA vape tanks, compared to other atomizers, feature replaceable coils and 
typically function perfectly when correctly built. RTA tanks offer a more 
customized experience saving the user time and money to purchase new 
coils.
● Rebuildable tanks edge out rebuildable RDAs in two more ways: firstly, the 
capacity of e-juice; RTA tanks feature large-capacity e-liquid reservoirs to 
offer vaping enjoyment for a relatively long time before the next refill.
Pros and Cons of Rebuildable MTL Atomizers
● Rebuildable RTA tanks are more convenient, easier, and cheaper to use than 
RDA tanks.
● RTA tanks are more flexible to experiment with when building coils compared 
to RDA tanks.
● RTAs dish out superior quality e-liquid flavors, the same way RDA tanks 
deliver a perfect mixture of vapor.
● In order to reuse an RTA tank with a new flavor, the tank must be emptied 
and cleaned, which is quite tedious.
● RDAs do not have e-liquid reservoirs but small juice wells.
● Constant dripping of liquid into RDA tanks is a real hassle.
