Yea, I saw that, thats why I am thinking maybe they used to sell the 3.6v 880 and never really re-updated that page with all of the new info..

Yours will be any day now. I put in my order a few days ago, but put in a little extra for him so maybe he can bump me up a little...
Ding! that would do it. So they're going to be a bit thinner maybe.
Yea, by 1mm which I think wouldn't be too much to worry about. Just means there would be an extra .5mm of room on all sides of the battery compared to a cr123a.
Your other option, if safety is an issue, are the AW LiFePO4 3 Volt Lithium Rechargeable Battery
Only 500mAh but they are the LiFePo safe chemistry which doesn't require pcb circuits because they don't vent flames or explode. I have these, and will finally get around to using them sometime... I've been too satisfied with 3.7v so far.

Ok, so right now your using just an 18650?
To anyone that have used both the 3v and 3.6v cr123a stacked batteries, how do they compare?
Ummm, could you be more specific? They may not vent flames but I am under the impression that they do vent... which may not be so good when contained inside something resembling a sealed pipe. They don't explode but I am under the impression that they can get hot enough to burn you. Lastly they have a max discharge rate of what? and the resistance/load in the circuit is going to be trying to draw in excess if what? something like 4 amps? I think I'll go with a protection circuit.
I would definitely like to hear if I'm wrong on any of my assumptions above (and they are just assumptions)
I am not sure how much this comes into play but I have an ultra fire charger just for this size and a switch on the side that adjusts for 3.7 and 3.0 depending on which batts I am charging.
I keep finding myself vapin at 6V instead of the 3.7 (depending on the juice) Definately getting hooked at 6Vs.

Yea, after reading and seeing pictures of what can happen with a non-protected battery, I would much rather just get a battery with the protection on it. This way, I don't have to worry as much having a battery vent on me. A little more money to have a protection circuit is worth more to me then having to worry about a battery venting on me, with who knows what kind of damage.
Got mine from lighthouse, AW LifePO4 500mah (they don't say protected but they are very safe and I got the thumbs up from Drozd) and an ultrafire charger for 123's that has a 3volt recharge setting. The ultrafire chargers are the way to go, I have one for my 16340 and my 123, I just switch the setting and I have one for my 18650 that is for 3.7 and I can add spacers to do my 3.7 little chuck batts on.
I only bring up the chargers because I bought a cheap one in addition, a pita to remove the batts and it took so long to charge that it makes me leary. When I compared it with my ultrafire chargers there was no comparison and I threw it back in the box.
The batteries I listed are great, they last me a full day, evening before they begin to die off. I've placed a couple orders from them, always have my batts within two days.

has anyone yet tasted a true tobacco flavored juice? every time i get close they change the flavor or discontinue it. its getting very very disheartening. my old winstons always tasted like a winston. do these people making the flavors have any idea why we were so loyal to our analogs even though we knew they were killing us. i havent ordered anything in weeks because every damn cartomizer i have tasted in weeks was like smoking an inner tube. im cold turkey now, even my favorite, the watermelon, is nasty this last batch. i have about had it
I think you might have posted in the wrong place, you will probably get more people to see your question if you post in the general or eliquid section. Anyways, I have not yet tried true tobacco flavor, but I know that tasty vapor actually takes tobacco and steeps it for about a week to get the flavor. I am very satisfied with their other flavors. Although, with their tobacco I hear that your either going to love it or hate it. You could try looking in the liquid swap to see if anyone wants to trade some...
The math was done by Drozd in the battery thread, and I'll add it to this post when I find it again, but the safest battery to use under chuck operating parameters were the lifepo4 ones.
Edit: Here, this put it into perspective for me.

No doubt better. Way better than an all out explosion but... this part gives me some pause.
I'm not sure what "vent a little gas" translates to and the effect of that in an enclosed tube. Melting the spring I do believe. But how long does it take to do that and what temperature will the outside of the tube get to? If it's enough to cause anything more than 1st degree burns then that's not so good.
Secondly, I don't like the part about ruining your battery by discharging it below 2.2v. With the protected CR2s I'm using I just vape until it quits. Good vapor goes directly to no vapor and indicates one of two things. Either my batteries disconnected and need recharged or my atomizer burnt out. If it's been roughly 4 hours it's almost always my batteries. 2.2 x 2 == most of 5v which is still going to produce ok vapor? Now I have to be careful about that and it's one more thing to pay attention to. Are my batteries getting too low or is it just my cart needs refilled, lousy cartomizer, need to drip more...
And lastly, LiFePo just isn't dense enough. I want the high capacity of Li-Ion. I'm hoping we can get someone like AW to make us a protected, voltage regulated (3.2v), Li-Ion RCR123a.
(Ok, the last 2 points didn't have much to do with safety.)
