Set yourself up with the following, as well.

Just curious if you got your tubes figured out? The Chi yu usually comes with three tubes 1 long = 18350 bat, long and short for 18490-500, long and medium for 18650 and all three if you want a kick module and 18650. And don't skip a multi meter it can help with trouble shooting as well as check your resistance (personally I have two + atty ohm meter).
 
I just acquired my first mod and am still confused on batteries. I bought an atomizer that I have tested at 0.89 ohms and would like to vape at 3.0v - 3.2v. I am currently running an Efest IMR 18350 3.7v 800 mAh in a "hand me down" mod tube. I have been researching the AW LiFePO4 RCR 123 battery and would like to know if this battery would be safe/sufficient to withstand my applications? I only want to use 1. If so would I be able to use the same charger I already have, what specifications do I need to verify? From what I could understand is that you can use any battery that will physically fit as long as you are using a coil that is rated for that type of battery and won't overload the battery. I this a true assumption?

Please start your own thread and ask your question. Battery safety is too important to get these questions/answers all muddled together.:)

Neither an 18350 or LiFePO3 RCR123 will have enough amp power or practical battery capacity to do any sub-ohm vaping. If you are convinced that you need to try sub-ohm builds, use an 18650 IMR battery.
