Have Pilla IBC 4 Stage charger, will it charge 18350 batteries, it has spacers but I don't use with my 18650's on my grand. Want to get VV Grand. Is the AW IMR 18350 the battery of choice? Are the VV Grands still on target for tonight? Where to get 18350's from? Thanks for help. Also, any suggestions for cartos, I currently use the 1.7 Resurrectors, I have heard going to 2.0 or 2.5 with VV Grand's.

you can get 18350 batts from RTD and your pila should charge them ok with the spacers
AW IMR 18350 3.7V 700 mah

If you need the screw in spacers for the pila, Provape has em for a buck or two. You will need two of them to charge one 18350 battery. As far as the batteries themselves. I get mine from Clouds Of Vapor OR RTD

The screw in type are for other batteries in the Pila (too short for the 18350). I think its a 32mm spacer. About th same size as the 18350. I got mine and the Pila from OverReady.com. Ther are other places too.
This works but is an extremely tight fit. The blue cylinders are CR123 dummy charging spacers.
I'd suggest using these spacers along with the screw in spacers that come with Pila chargers. That combo is probably less abusive on the charger's negative contacts.

18350's in a Pila with the screw-in spacers installed. I measured the open space and the 15mm spacers would fit fine without over stressing the springy negative contacts on the Pila. I should get a couple of those spacers.
I plan on heading to the hardware store for some machine screws that will fit into the Pila, that way I can make any length I want..
Put a nut on the other end with some locktite and you should be able to do that for under $2 vice more and shipping for any spacers. Should function just as well too.
If they are the same as my Pila screw in ones you can't screw two together to double the length.
You can screw one into the charger but you still need 15mm more spacer.
If your just using 18650 and 18350 (no 500 length) its best just to get a single 30mm drop in spacer.
I would suggest just double up those aluminum drop in spacers and throw the dam screw on ones in the trash
I use those aluminum spacers in mine and put them in like it's shown on the right side. They work like a charm and they're not too tight.

A picture really is worth a thousand words. Just what I wanted to see, Thanks a lot.
Question on the Pila charger, Just bought one and charged up batteries, they came off the charger warm is that normal? also does everyone unplug them when not in use? Thanks
Mine are usually warm if I grab them as soon as the light goes out. If they sit a little they are not.

Well Tim, you got me thinking that drop in spacers would be a lot more convenient than fooling with those screw in jobbies.
RCR 123A's with CR123A dummy spacers I bought at the same time I ordered my Pila:
IMR 18350's with improvised drop in spacers:
IMR 18500's with improvised drop in spacers:
And of course, 18650 batteries require no spacers. I'm good to go.
2 Pila screw in spacers for sale. $400.00 each
I get enough pennies and wrap them with tape for my spacers. Copper works good as a conductor.
wow, i just messed up i guess, i bought a pila from a friend and has those 2 screw in spacers. i knew i needed more for my 18350 batts so i just ordered 6 more screw ins about an hour ago. i need those aluminum ones huh? wonder if i can get hold of randy any way to change that
Yes...email him through his site.
Use the contact button at the top of his website.
i just did that lisa. then looked at my email and had a note saying my package had shipped. does randy really work that late and ship that fast?
