Cheers
If these are the ones your looking at then yes you can use them but they are not protected batteries. You should use caution when using them. If you drain the batteries to far they maybe damaged and without the protection they can be over charged and explode.

The original 18350 batteries I bought are the color in the picture on the EBay site and were NOT protected. I bought mine from Batteryjunction.com, and they note "This cell does NOT have an integrated PCB. Please be sure you fully understand how this product functions, how it should be charged and discharged and the proper handling of this battery type before attempting to use this battery."
I have since bought other ones from MadVapes LLC and they ARE protected, and the color was royal blue. But the madvapes.com site also mentions "Pictures are approximate. Battery labels and colors may vary slightly at times depending on the manufacturer but always high quality, protected and the rated mAH."
The one that came with my Indulgence extended cup was that royal blue color but the size of the 'button' on the positive end is larger than the the button on the one I got from Madvapes.
I gather there is a difference between 'overcharge and undercharge protection' and protected with a PCB.
I had bought my original 18350's to use in another battery mod and the ones with the 'pcb' were not yet available. The discussion forum for that other mod said the ones with the pcb are better, but that the original ones I got were probably ok to use since the risk of batteries exploding are more likely when you are using two batteries in series. So I still use my 'yellow' ones if I don't have any of my 'blue' ones charged and available.
The 18350 comes WITH the 3.7v extended cup and it can be charged in the charger that comes WITH the Indulgence itself.
In addition to the single-battery charger that came with my Indulgence I have two other chargers that will charge two batteries at a time. One is a Trustfire TR-001 charger and I can charge two of the 18350's at the same time (or a 18350 and a different battery at the same time). My other one is called a TL-100 (and is also sold under another generic name), but that can only charge a single 18350 because the diameter is a little bigger than the diameter of some other batteries like the 3.7v 16340, so the 18350 is too 'fat' to let you put two of them in the TL100.
Other people I know have that Ultrafire 138 charger shown on that ebay site and they say it will hold two 18350 batteries at a time.

My order arrived yesterday, I ordered these before I noticed that they are not protected batteries. These batteries will only fit v2 of the battery cup (current version). The batteries that David includes in the Indulgence kit will not fit the charger that comes with these batteries. One bonus that came out of this bad order the charger can charge 3v.
I purchased some of the 18350's from mad vapes,charged them up and dropped them in my indulgence and much to my dismay they were about 1/8 of an inch to short.So I went searching for the little spacer magnets thatare used in the GG and got two of the small 1/32 inch and I am vaping 1200 mah protected batts as I type.The magnets attach securely to the bottom of the battery for easy drop in and being on the negative end there is little to no chance of grounding out.There are a couple of places to get these,I paid a little more but I got them in two days.Compared to the shipping and wait time I made out like a fat rat.
I thought about that but I don't have any lying around and I wasn't sure there would be good contact at the bottom of the unit.I love a woman who knows how to improvise.
So I bought the Indulgence without the extended cup. I was wondering if I got the cup for two 3.7 batteries will those batteries charge on the charger that was sent with the standard Indulgence?
again, -- yes , hahahahahahahahahahha
we are tripping over each other ---- hahahahahahah

It is ok,
we are allowed to chase around sending posts hahahahahahahahah
i was told that i could use cr123s in the extended cup and they dont work at all what should i do
who told you that ??
sometimes they will work with a lil fiddling,
ask whoever told you that, -- how did they do it --------
but the extended cup has been designed to take the special batteries
that have also been developed and made specially for it---
they are a lil longer due to having a pcb incorporated into them
so we could bring you fully protected batteries,
this is why they were so long in coming to you,
having them made, tested,
and making the extended cup to suit the new size.
i just got my indulgence today and all my batts are fully charged and i cant get nothing to work at all not the little bats not the extended cap nothing i really mad. nomader what it dont work not with 510 or 801. and i cant get ahold of enybody at east mall
you may have a faulty button
I dont know
but when the hols are over you will be able to get
in touch with David and he will fix it for you......
The multimeter check over from Brazillion is a good one
you will be able to see where the power is being lost
