are your rcr 123a's 3.0 volt or 3.7 volt (which are more commonly called 16340's)?

Those will fit in the Grand or Woodvil fine, but if you use LR attys, you should get the LiMN AW's instead of the Li-Ion's.
Yep...you got it! Same batttery I use. Good if you use a LR atty.
They say that they are unprotected? I would like to order the charger and battery's from the same place. If some has a better site LMK
AW IMR18650 1600mAh LiMN rechargeable lithium battery

You know how to make a man proud mlinky....
Also, there have been quite a few reports on ECF regarding the UF 3000mAh tripping it's protection circuit when using LR attys.
Here is the chart... (Note that the UF 3000mAh is only 2500mAh in reality)
I have two black/black Reo minis
AW IMR 14500, 4ea, that I keep in rotation. I have two Trustfire TR-001 chargers but I don't like them at all. Most times can't charge two batts at the same time. Am ordering two Ultrafire WF-139s today for under 12 bucks each and free shipping from Deal Extreme. Unlike the WF-188 it has a car charger input. I got my charging adapter from Radio Shack.
I perfer to get my batts from SuperTmanufacturing. I like to support ECF fourm sellers when possible. He ships an order under 31.00 for only a buck and change. He has the Pila charger too if you like that brand.

Doesn't that chart prove that if your going to run your batts down to below 3.9v that your better off with the black AW ?
It looks to me like once your below 3.9 volts the IMR actually has the steepest drop off ????
Not trying to start anything, its just I have 3 AW IMR - 3 AW black 2600 - and 1 AW black 2900
Every time I throw the IMR in a Grand I feel like I get less vape time than I do with either of the black ones 2600/2900
I notice a change and when I pull mine off its usually about 3.7 volts.
So what I take from this chart is I can get a lot longer with the black 2600 mah AW before it reaches 3.7 than the IMR.
Am I missing something ??
Strictly talking 18650 here.
In the 14500 arena I am TOTALLY SOLD ON THE AW IMR.
But for 18650 it seems to come down to more a preference in how you like your power delivered.
Not nearly the requirement like the 14500

The difference is consistent, rated mAh, and amps to the atty. The protected batteries as shown, experience voltage droop.
With a quality 18650, the sustained voltage is good for around the first 20-30%.. The voltage / amperage will drop after that.. The IMR delivers consistent voltage/ amperage until depleted, then, steeply drops.. I prefer the shorter, consistent run time of an IMR.
If you are using a 2.8 ohm and up atty, it does not matter as much. Using a LR atty does...
That battery is a little longer and is not recommended because it flattens the spring too much.
