It's for the standard Grand. I've been using the black ones with the silver sticker for over 2 years with no problems, but it's time to get some new ones as they are looking nasty.

I guess I've been having a hard time duplicating with a 18650 what kind of vape I'm getting with 2 cr123s. I've been using 8 wraps on 26 guage but the coil gets a little poppy and hits me with hot juice. Maybe Ill try some 28g and see if I can dial it in better.
AW 16340 Batteries (same size as 3.0 volt CR123A)
Red cell - 3.7v unprotected (IMR)
Black cell - 3.7v protected (LiCo with PCB)

i believe you are stacking the cr123(flashlight batts) 3.7v x2 so your vaping 6-8volts. the downside is im pretty sure the flashlight bats have a low amp limit 2-4x(2)=8amps and a low mah 500ish x 2 =1000
the 18650 will not put out 6-8volts but i believe stacking the current batts will put them over amp limit and a vent is coming. 0.6ohm with 8v draws 14amps
18650 on lower ohms or get an 50watt+apv

When you stack batteries the voltage is doubled, but the amps limit and the mAh remains the same as for one battery.
If you build a coil of half the resistance that you use with 2 batts, and run one 18650 instead, you should be in the ball park for a similar vape.

Ok as other have stated ...... Don't see the need to stack batts anymore 2012 went by a couple years ago.
But neither of the two you mentioned are the 3v batts you need to stack for 6v
The black or the red are 3.7 nom with 4.2 fully charged ..... your cranking over 8v at the start with those.
If you really need ?? to stack for 6v you want the blue AW
AW LiFePO4 RCR 123 - RTD vapor
^^ Psst ... Don't do it ...... IMO
Stacking came about back when 90-100% of attached atomizers were 2.5Ω ohm or above
I'll admit I stacked in a REO using the blue 3v AW's for a while using 2.0Ω cartomizers and stacking was sketchy even at those amp draws ....
Stacking with a RBA leaves you the ability to create ridicules stress on the batts.
Your far better off getting a good high amp 18650 and start building you coils at lower ohms. Either start nocking off wraps or get low gauge wire.
I would say the lower Ω you go that you might have to open up your air hole larger to keep the flavor satisfactory ...... but u'v been vapin at 8v dood so I have a feeling your more about the heat than the flavor
