Is OB Vape the cheapest vape store in Ireland?

Yes! At OB Vape, we pride ourselves on offering the lowest prices in Ireland on disposables, e-liquids, vape kits, and nicotine pouches. If you find a better price, email us at info@obvape.ie — we’ll match it. We also offer next-day delivery across Ireland.

What are the strongest nicotine pouches in Ireland?

OB Vape is Ireland’s number one store for high-strength nicotine pouches. We stock popular brands like PABLO (50mg), ICEBERG (50mg), and Greatest Cold Dry. These pouches are 100% tobacco-free and perfect for discreet, smoke-free nicotine.

What nicotine strength should I choose when switching from disposables?

Most disposable vapes in Ireland contain 20mg nicotine salts, which is equivalent to strong 10ml nic salt e-liquids. If you’re switching to a refillable kit, choose a 10mg or 20mg nic salt for a similar hit. You’ll save money and get more flavour.

Vaping: What’s the Difference Between MTL, DTL & RDL?

If you’ve been looking into vaping, you’ve probably come across terms like MTL, DTL, and RDL. These refer to different inhaling styles — and choosing the right one can completely change your experience.

Quick Answer: MTL (Mouth-to-Lung) feels like smoking, DTL (Direct-to-Lung) produces big clouds, and RDL (Restricted Direct Lung) sits somewhere in between.

What Is MTL (Mouth-To-Lung)?

MTL is the most common vaping style for beginners.

Draw vapour into your mouth first, then inhale
Feels similar to smoking a cigarette
Tighter airflow and smaller clouds

MTL works best with:

Popular devices include the Vaporesso XROS range.

What Is DTL (Direct-To-Lung)?

DTL is a more powerful vaping style.

Inhale vapour directly into your lungs
Produces large clouds
More airflow and higher wattage

DTL works best with:

Devices like the GeekVape L200 are ideal for this style.

What Is RDL (Restricted Direct Lung)?

RDL sits between MTL and DTL.

Looser draw than MTL, tighter than DTL
Moderate vapour production
Balanced flavour and cloud

RDL works well with:

Pod kits with adjustable airflow
50/50 e-liquids

Which One Should You Choose?

MTL: Best for beginners and ex-smokers
DTL: Best for cloud chasing and low nicotine
RDL: Best for a balance between both

If you're unsure, starting with MTL is usually the safest choice.

Common Mistakes

Using the wrong e-liquid for your style
Choosing a device that doesn’t match your inhale style
Using high nicotine in DTL setups
