LiPos vs Li-Ions?

[Steam Powered]

Which would you guys recommend for a DNA30 chip build and why?
Single 18650/1500mah Li-Ion or dual 600mah LiPo's?

Lipos don't suffer from voltage sag like li ions but they are much more volatile especially if dropped or generally mistreated. I would go for li ion personally as I've seen some scary lipo fires in the hobby rc world.

Ok PirateB, Yea I'm leaning towards Li Ion because that's all I've ever used in my other mods, but I'm seeing some Li Po's being used now in vaping and it's got my curiosity up. Do Li Po's hold a charge better than a comparable Li Ion?

 

[PirateB]

I believe some of the benefits of LiPo batteries are they charge faster than a li-ion, generally have a higher C rating and as I mentioned before don't suffer from the same voltage sag that li-ion batteries do.

Will your mod have the ability to swap out the 18650 on the fly?

Yes

Will your mod have the ability to swap out the 18650 on the fly?

Yes and no...I drive an 18 wheeler and I will be able to swap 18650's in this box I'm building but not without pulling over and getting out the screwdriver.
I run 5-6 hours at a time without a stop. But I carry several charged mods with different juices to rotate as I travel.
