Safe?

[Ozz58]

Need to ask here because I don't have full rights yet, (oh after this post I do.)

But anyways, I'm pretty good with electics and was wondering if it's safe to use LiPo batteries?

It would be nice to use my LiPo charger as it will charge a LiPo in just around half an hour.

And yes I understand the issues/danger a LiPo can have, I use them in another hobby.

Thanks guys,

Craig

Hi!
LiPo batteries are awesome in rc helicopters and such, but they do NOT like powering an atomizer, which is almost a dead short across the terminals (averaging 2-3 ohms).
High current draw like that can be fatal to LiPo batts. Stick to protected Li-Ion and LiFePo or even NiMh batteries.
LiPo batts can be... expressive... if they're pushed hard!
Good luck!

We use AW IMR High drain batteries, and the people at provape say their the best. They work for us.

just another point, i went to radioshack(I know I know) and the "educated" person there sold me a couple lisocl12 batteries and a charger, which he said would work with those batteries. after returning home i did look up batteries because i thought it was kinda fishy that i hadnt heard of liso batteries before, turns out they arent even rechargable. one guy reported that he blew up his workbench trying to do so. i have been very careful now when i buy a battery to make sure it is both rechargable and protected.
