Oops, forgot the batteries.

My Reo is on the way, and I just realized they recommend different batteries than I have. Problem is, I can't find AW IMR 14500s anywhere in stock! Currently I have 2 Ultrafire LC 14500 900mah, and this charger. Will these work? And once I get the AW IMRs, can they be charged with that charger?

Thanks in advance...

The batteries will probably fire your atty, but any LR atomizer will be putting a lot of stress on the batteries. I would expect them to drop off fairly quickly at the very least, and they may trip the battery protection circuit causing the Mini to stop working. Order the AW IMR 14500's as soon as you can find available stock. They really make a difference in the performance of the pv. The charger will work.

Since you will be using overstressed batteries and an inexpensive charger, it is extra important to check the voltage of your batteries regularly.

Yep, they will work....they are what I used to use before I started using the AWs. There is a noticeable difference in the performance in between the batteries you have and the AWs. If you want to try the AWs and are willing to get the protected ones, you could always try the black label 750mah 14500. They are much better than the UF batteries. The charger will work too, but I've never used that one.

Cool, thanks. I just read this post also, which answered most of my questions!
