Yes, the Jet-III Pro ST that I have can use either the flat top or the button top 18650 cells. I'll be ordering a charger and two of the 18650's any day now.
I got my JetBeam at Bugout Gear. They have a 20% JetBeam special deal right now, though I'm sorry that I don't remember the code off hand, and they offer free shipping on orders over $50. With the CPF discount and free shipping, I paid $62 for the light.
As before I'd highly recommend you get a light that has a neutral white emitter; they give much better color rendition and more importantly better depth perception outdoors than the cool white ones do.
One way of mounting a light to a helmet is to use the hand strap that comes with the two cell Quarks from 4Sevens. I put one end on the light, thread the other through a couple of the vent holes, and then back out to mount on the other end of the light. Fold up a bandana and stuff it in between the light and the helmet and it keeps it from rattling and/or shifting around too much.

Can you use a flat top 2600mAh from AW 18650?
I know the Eagletacs have issues with those.
Where did you buy the jetbeam if you don't mind?
