In theory, yes. In practice, they say that their batteries are somehow special and other batteries will void the warranty or malfunction. (I don't believe anyone has actually found anything special about them..)
I use some de-protected nightcore's in it that I got for my imotion and they work fine, but I tend to leave the standard battery in most of the time..

I'm using a Panasonic 18650A, 3,100 mAh (green) in mine. I'm not saying you should do the same thing. One curious thing is the 1.2 version has a battery setting that states "customize". They turn around and say the only two batteries that can be is the one's they have listed. As Andy Griffith would have said, "curious, curious"!

I like the idea also of being able to have many colors and sizes with them.
i picked up the Panasonic NCR18650B 3400mah Battery from litecigusa, looks to be same as the joyetech's sanyo 18650. hoping for some super decent vape times, dont let me down panasonic! 
Looked at GotVapes and they have the battery and say it is the same as what joyetech is selling and it is an unprotected ICR.
I bought one of those (the green Panasonic NCR18650B 3400mah) early this morning to go along with my eVic impulse buy. Even remembered to get a charger too! The XTAR WP2 II. I hope I was remembering right when I chose that one. Seemed like the consensus was that it was a solid device. I'll have to wait until I get another mod (the Innokin Itazte SVD maybe) before I need something like the Xtar VP1.
I'm not the expert, but my understanding is to use an unprotected battery. Panasonic's are the best.
I know this thread is starting to collect dust, but it's where I posted my first question about this charger so.....
Neither of my 18650 batteries charge unless I lift the negative end up a little bit. This sorta bothers me. I already returned one of these and this is the replacement unit that I just received. I thought this one was defective just like the first one, and only discovered this positioning "trick" by accident. Should I be concerned?

How is the Panasonic NCR18650B working out for you zipflint? How much longer does it last than the samsung 2600mah, and have you checked how many more puffs you get with the panasonic 3400 compared to the samsung 2600 that comes with the eVic?
I use the same charger as you and I'm having the same issue with my samsung 2600. I think it is because the wrapping on the battery sticks out a little to much on the positive side. I have to raise the battery a little bit when I put it in the charger for it to make a connection so it will start charging. I haven't noticed any adverse effects of this and according to my multimeter my battery always comes off the charger with a full charge.
Ah, okay, thanks. Good to know. I let it finish charging and it did read as full on my eVic, and I didn't notice any warmth from either the battery or the charger.
The Panasonic battery is working great, btw. I haven't counted the numbers but I do know that with the Samsung, I would get near to zero life left after one day. The Panasonic battery lasts quite a bit longer. I'm a chain-vaper too, so that's a plus.

Obviously there is a minor design flaw in the charger. The head end does not allow for less than Flat contact. Almost all battery chargers have a bit of a button on the + end.
