Let me get this straight, If I have:

3-emitter XP-G board
2.8a driver board
single 18650

I would wire it in series, and each LED would get 933mA with the correct Vf?

yes? no?

No........you wire them in parallel.

Mac
 
correct, in parallel

and then You also need led that have identical vf,
if not, there can be much uneven current, most likely leading to dying leds, one after one.
 
whoops, parallel, that's what I meant

I'm getting a board that should be matched leds.
Thanks guys!
