1) No, you can only charge one battery at a time in the supplied charger.
2) Yes they will fit (tightly). I've not tried it - it would fry any of my atomisers. You'd need a pretty high resistance atty (well over 5 ohms I'd say) to make that usable.
3) Anything's possible. I don't know of a simple drop in resistor mod though. 6v with a 4.2 ohm atomiser should work quite nicely though (similar wattage to an LR atty at 3.7v).

Papa, is your 18650 battery the 3000mah as specified on the Eatmall site? What do you mean about it being not great?
The outter coating, is it a thin layer under a primer paint? Do you think a fine steelwool would clean it up? I wonder whats under the primer? Maybe it can be painted?
I wonder if 2 CR123 (3v) batteries can be used in the 18650 tube with a 5v regulator. Heard that 6v makes the juice taste burned.
Yes its that one. I mean it doesn't take long after a charge before it feels like its putting out less power. It also cuts out when using my LR306's, none of the others do. Perhaps I got a bad one? I've had better results with the cheap *fire batteries, and I have a couple of higher performance IMR batteries coming soon.
Yes maybe one day I'll try and take the coating off. Yes you can use 2 x RCR123's in the 18650 tube, although you will need to extend them or use a longer spring (I've got some 'rare earth magnets' which are useful battery extenders)
Can anyone here tell be what the shipping cost was and how long did it take to get an Indulgence shipped to the states from China?
Of all the positive Youtube videos I've seen, only one was negative. See: YouTube - VaporScoop.com The Indulgence From EastMall.net

Vaporjunction.com carries them and they have a 10% off coupon code too...ECF10.
You are very welcome. Travis over at Vapor Junction is a great guy and runs a great business. Glad I could be of a lil help 
Got the Hot Spring from Altsmoke. I ordered the spring for their sliver bullet, it fits the indulgence perfectly.
I received a kit that iVape.net put together for use with the 18650 battery for the great price of $49.95. They call it the "Swap Top" The iVape "Swap Top" | MODS | iVAPE
What's included:
18650 Battery sleeve (can also house 2x rcr123a / 16340 / or 18350)
Manual tactile switch
4x adapters for various types of atomizer/cartomizer combos
1/4" Magnetic battery spacer for optimal performance and connections.
I'm going to order the Copper Spring from AltSmoke. I am using TrustFire 2400mah batteries that were recommended in the mod battery forum as being the better 18650.
When dripping: The strange thing is that using the same atty and eJuice on the Indulgence V2 it creates far less vapor than my eGo. The 18650 is a true 3.7v and the eGo is 3.4volts. To produce more vapor on the V2, I have to trigger it for several seconds as opposed to the 3 seconds with the eGo.
It's a nice looking device and for 49 bucks a great deal. I'm going to try out some LR's on it. That's where the advantage lies. A 3.7volt battery can handle the LR's. The 3.4v will perform well in vapor production but the battery is taking a beating.

Two 18350s will definitely fit. I use them with a terminator from notcigs to make it an adjustable-voltage mod.
It should perform at least as well as the eGo. Someone else posted about getting improved performance by cleaning up the inside of the battery tube, specifically sanding the area at the bottom where the spring sits.
It's brandy new, I did suspect the spring so I stretched it to make a stronger contact but that didn't help. I measured the voltage of the battery in and out of the PV and I am getting 4.12v after several hours of use. The eGo measures 3.4v.
Although my Indulgence is brandy new, inside the tube is covered with rust. Good call Papa. I dropped in a piece of steel wool and scoured it with a flat blade screw driver. I emery-ed both ends of the spring. Still the same with a standard 2.0 ohm atty. Interesting though, I put on an eGo Mega atty w/ a battery extension and the vapor production is as good as my eGo. The eGo Mega atty is 1.9 ohms. Can't believe a tenth of an ohm can be so different.
No worries They seem to have some sort of corrosion or something left over from manufacturing in them. I don't think it can rust exactly - there's no iron in it (or at least, they aren't at all magnetic..). It cropped up in this thread http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...69-my-friends-problems-his-indulgence-v2.html

Has anyone here opened and fixed the damn button? Mine has a mind of it's own and sometimes works but sometimes doesn't. So I tend not to use it because it's a PITA.
My button sucks also, stopped working (mechanically). I put a drop of baby oil or you can use mineral oil in the button and it works better than when I got it (plastic crap).
Still can't get any real vapor. The voltage is good at 4.2v - 3.7v. but when I did an amp test, I only got 2.3ma. should be getting 1.85 amps w/ 2.0 ohm atty at 3.7v, not milliamps.
Voltage alone is no indication that everything is working okay, need the load of the atty for a real test.
Using brand new 18650 trustfire 2400mah batteries. Going to test w/ batteries and atty alone to see where the trouble resides.
I should have put this money toward a Silver Bullet. I would not recommend buying the Indulgence V2 no matter how great the price.

How are you testing under load? Do you have an adaptor to hook up the test leads too? What is the voltage under load with an atty being run?
You're right - voltage under no load is not really a test of anything. If there's the slightest connection you will just read the battery voltage. If there's a problem with a poor connection somewhere, or a poor ground, that will likely only show up under load.
A few things you could test could be resistance across the switch, and resistance between the outside of the atomizer connector (ground) and the battery negative or the spring.
I agree with you, if it doesn't work as intended it's hard to recommend (and perhaps rather than persevering you should go for a refund). My old one works and still gives good service (despite looking beaten up). It performs about the same as other 3.7v mods (e.g. my Mako which is fully mechanical and much higher quality build). LR atty's on it glow very bright very quickly so I don't think it has a problem with "losing" power anywhere.

Hey Papa,
I jumped the ground (negatives) of the PV to the atty ground and put an amp meter in series with the positive of the atty to the positive of the PV out.
