Safer: lifepo4 or Nimh

[Quinic]

I'm rather new to all this vaping stuff... I started out on a 801, moved to a 510, and now tend to stick with my eGo.

I did pick up two "mods" though. The RoughStack (standard and maxi) and the Indulgence (replaced switch twice already). The batteries I use for these mods were the protected 18350 and 18650. Anyways, long story short...

I've determined that I do not feel comfortable with putting LiCo batteries that close to my face and am seriously considering picking up either a LiFePO4 battery or NiMH for the RoughStack. Madvapes sells both types... and was wondering what type of battery would be safest to put 2 inches from my face?

(I know, no battery is 100% safe, I'm just asking what is safer)

I'm not a battery expert...but my understanding is that you need either protected batteries or safe chemistry batteries. I use safe chemistry AW IMR 14500 LiMN batteries in my mini reo (because that's what the manufacturer of the mod recommends )

Here's the forum sticky about batteries http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...9007-warning-rechargeable-batteries-mods.html

and a pretty decent website Battery information from Battery University

The 5v NiMH from MV are very nice in the roughstack, I've had them a couple weeks and they have performed well. Regarding NiMH battery failures, they almost always go bad quietly. Occasionally, the fluid leaks. Usual failure mode is you start noticing them losing charge or significantly diminished performance.
