Top 6 Best RDTL Vape Kits of 2025
RDTL vaping is popular among cloud-hungry, flavour-craving pod vapers. Let’s dive into the best RDTL vape kits this year has to offer!
RDTL (Restricted Direct-to-Lung) or RDL vaping is a specific vaping style that combines the high-nicotine, flavoursome qualities of MTL (mouth-to-lung) vaping with the the cloud production and airy inhale of DTL (direct-to-lung) vaping.
It’s essentially an airier form of MTL, allowing users to pool the vapour inside their mouth while inhaling into the lungs.
Among the different styles of vaping, RDTL is somewhat ambiguous. But for RDTL vapers, this means freedom.
RDTL facilitates the epitome of airflow for many, making these kinds of devices one of the most popular refillable vape kit styles this year.
Let’s explore some of the best, most tailorable RDTL vape kits available, ranked by popularity and customer feedback!

Now, what really makes the G3 Pro stand out is its full-screen OLED display screen. Yep, you read that right—a full-screen display on a pod kit!
You can adjust your wattage with pinpoint precision, giving you full control over your vape, whether you prefer a smooth MTL (mouth-to-lung) draw or a more open RDTL (restricted direct-to-lung) hit.
And if you’re not one for fiddling with settings, don’t worry—the G3 Pro will automatically detect your pod and set the wattage for you. Easy peasy.

What We Like:
The Aspire Pixo Pod Kit is a fresh addition to the world of pod vapes, bringing a sleek design and impressive performance that’s perfect for both newbies and seasoned vapers.
Right out of the box, you’ll notice the standout feature: a bright 1.47” TFT colour touchscreen. Yep, a touchscreen on a pod vape! It’s super intuitive, making it easy to tweak your settings or just check how much battery you’ve got left.
Speaking of battery, the Pixo packs an 1100mAh battery that’ll see you through a full day of vaping without breaking a sweat. And when it does need a recharge? You’re back to full power in just 35 minutes, thanks to its speedy USB-C charging.
What really sets the Pixo apart is its versatility. Whether you’re into Mouth To Lung (MTL), Restricted Direct To Lung (RDTL), or full-on Direct To Lung (DTL) vaping, the Pixo has you covered.

5. OXVA Oneo Pod Kit
£19.99
What We Like:
Another OXVA vape kit makes our list with the Oneo. This versatile little kit is as powerful as it is simple.
With no buttons or settings, this vape can do MTL, RDTL, and DTL using the supplied pods and the adjustable airflow toggle.
I just had the pleasure of writing the OXVA Oneo review for our blog and found that the airflow options on this vape were vast.
Plus, the vape is compatible with both MTL and DTL pods, with the MTL pod being compatible with 50/50 E-Liquids like nic salts and freebase 10ml juices while the DTL pod is compatible with high-VG E-Liquids like shortfills.
This means that with the Oneo, you can vape just about any E-Liquid (except for 100% VG) given that you have the correct pod—unlike all the other vapes in this list, which are only compatible with 50/50 liquids.
This is one of the few kits where RDTL vapers can really enjoy a high-VG, low-nicotine E-Liquid like a shortfill using the adjustable airflow function.

OXVA Oneo | £19.99 | 1600mAh | Stepless | 75g | 102mm x 32.5mm x 23mm |
6. GeekVape Wenax Q Pro Pod Kit
£21.99
What We Like:
The GeekVape Wenax Q Pro takes everything vapers loved about the original Wenax Q and cranks it up a notch. If you’re after a compact, versatile RDTL vape kit with a bit of extra oomph, this might just be your new favourite kit.
First off, the 1200mAh battery is a solid upgrade from its predecessor, meaning you’ll get even more time between charges—perfect for those long days out. And with a 30W max output, you’ve got more power at your fingertips for those big, flavourful clouds.
The Wenax Q Pro still keeps things simple where it counts. It’s compatible with the same GeekVape Q pods, including the stellar 0.6Ω (ohm) pod that’s perfect for RDTL vaping. Expect smooth, rich flavour and satisfying vapour production with every puff. Plus, the pods have that handy clamshell top-fill design, so refills are quick, easy, and mess-free.
But here’s where the Pro steps up its game: the 0.96-inch OLED screen gives you all the info you need at a glance, and the haptic feedback adds a nice tactile touch every time you adjust your settings.
Speaking of which, you’ve got three airflow settings to play with, letting you switch between a tighter MTL draw and a looser RDTL hit with ease.
Despite packing in all these features, the Wenax Q Pro stays super lightweight and pocket-friendly—ideal if you’re always on the move. And if tweaking settings isn’t your thing, don’t worry: the device will automatically set the wattage based on the pod you’re using. Easy.
