18650 vs 26650 for my DNA75 chipped ETALIENS X3 mod.

[thealienvaper]

so my mod's battery type is interchangable. that means it can be used with 18650 OR 26650 batteries. The 18650 fits by putting the battery in a "18650 tube adapter" (or like a rubber sleeve) then placing it in the hole of device. By the way, in the comments section one person is pretty sure it uses a DNA75 Chips (I dont know about chips), but I can only be somewhat sure of this fact. So, what should I use, a 26650 or 18650? Which ones are better known to explode? Seems like most pictures of explosions show telescope mods with 18650s. 26650 on the other hand are BIGGER, so does that mean i'm more at risk? No idea how to find the answers quite frankly besides posting in this forum. I did however find a "master" (Battery Mooch) at battery testing and he himself recommended one. I also posted in another forum about a similar question and got some answers but nothing concrete. By the way i vape at 50 watts for only about 3 hours a day total. I don't mind charging the batteries a few times a day if it means more safety. And yes I know all about the dont keep it in your pocket thing. I get it. But one kid was using his while it blew up his face! SO here's the description of the mod, as well as a pic, and a pic of that battery chart Mooch made for us. For extra credit please tell what are safe coils to use for the tank it comes with (electronic components to tank: resistance .5ohm). Some say Kanger coils. But what kind of Kanger coils? Thank you and please be clear.-Joe P.S I live in US, so give me good US vendors for the batteries/coils (NO REWRAPPED POTENTIAL DYNAMITES)

I'd stay with the 18650,, made by the Big3.
Sony, LG, Samsung..

18650s are better than 26650s, particularly at higher wattages. Note that you'll need at least a 20-amp battery for 50w.

Welcome and glad you joined. Could try the search function in upper right hand corner of this post and type in "Kanger coils".
