What i mean is.... I can replace the 18650 with two rcr 123A????
and does anyone know of a good charger that can charge both 18650 batts AND rcr123a batts so I would not have to buy charger # 10?

I have to ask this, but why the he*& does this world need so many different sizes of everything?
Plumbing /electrical/nuts/bolts.....on and on its ridiculous.

Length wise the 16340 model will be just over a half inch shorter then the 10440 Precise. The 18650 will be just over 3/4 of inch longer then the Precise. The 18650 model won't be the shortest model out there (pretty short though), just the thinnest.
With no pictures of any of these, how does the 18650 compare in size to the super six??

the wf-139 will charge both...but the 123a size batteries need to be used with spacers (which are relatively cheap)

Cool, thanks for the speedy response + great news.
Now, would you recommend aw batteries over others ?

depends on what battery size really...

14500....just about anything is gonna stress the battery (until the LiMN 14500 comes out in 4 -6 weeks)

but my list is this...

3.7V:
any 18650 with 2200mah and a C rate of 1.5 or better...
I think the AW 18650s are slightly better yes...as general concensus is that they're true to their #s while the *fire brands are kinda a lottery/crap shoot
or the 3.7V AW IMR 16340 LiMN high drain

6V.. the 3V AW 16340 LiFePo4 stacked

7.4V... the 3.7V AW IMR 16340 LiMN high drain stacked..

before I plunk down $160.00 for a 18650 I would like know what ALL the advantages of the 18650 would be over the super six besides not having to deal with the wonderful cr2 battery`s there output and lifespan.
Thanks for any comments.:D
You just summed it up in a nutshell. No need for me to comment :D

Plus you can use LR atty's to get the big hits without the hassle of keeping up with stacked battery safety. And if I read correctly, it'll still accept stacked batts for 6v.

There are several differences that seperate the Precise line from the Super6 model.

1. All stainless steel construction which has several benefits including:

-More durable atomizer connection. Stainless steel is much more resistant to wear or stripping then aluminum or brass. (newer s6 models also used stainless steel tops, but not stainless steel bodies or switches like the new Precise)

-Extremely scratch resistant

-Since stainless steel is stronger, thinner walled tubing can be used.

-Corrosion resistant

2. New Switch design which has several features including:

- New body to switch grounding spring which improves switch performance and reliability.

- Switch no longer can fall out the top on the Precise (though some liked that on the s6)

3. Larger battery capacity when in 3.7 or 6v mode depending on model.
