Shouldn't be a problem. Tom, Dan, and Sarah are always good for answering these types of inquiries directly from the website for future reference.

Total combined length of 1x18650 & 2x18350 is almost exactly the same. Any spring AFAIK will accommodate the slight variation in length.

The zerorez switch will work just fine with 1x18650 or 2x18350. It will NOT work with the zerorez shorty. That switch is designed with a recess so that you can use a specific cell setup.
UCL, steel bezel ring, spare o'rings
what is the diff. between the pyrex and UCL lens? titanium bezel ring with the trits slots in my cart, got plenty of o'rings, Is the triad tail cap worth the extra money think it came out to $102? Also I run 1 x 18650 in the c2 but can it be protected or does it have to be IMR? I also don't know if I should go for the xpg or Nichia , how cool is the xpg over 6k? Thanks for all the help and patience guys this is gonna be one of my most expensive purchases and don't want to mess it up.

UCL allows more light through. So your "out the front" lumens rating would be higher. Both are durable, but pyrex is probably more durable. I have a mixture of both pyrex and UCL lens on my lights. The Triad tailcap would allow you to tailstand your light. Tint is a very personal matter. XPG would probably be brighter, but many on this forum love that Nichia Neutral HICRI tint.

Couple of thoughts...
UCL lenses offer 100+ extra lumens OTF, but are thinner and more fragile. Go with Pyrex for maximum durability. If you want to try both, just get extra lenses and request the bezel ring be loose installed.
ZeroRez are specialized parts with no length absorption. The main difference between cells will be the amount of force that is needed to activate with the the momentary boot. This pushes through the battery, against the stout spring of the Triple itself. You can expect something like:
IMR 18350 (short) - medium force
LiCo 18650 (medium) - heavy force
IMR 18350 (long) - max force
Output under LiCo will be the same. The regulated engine can 'pull' as much energy as it needs.
XPG engines are 6500K, with a mild blue and no green. Nichia are 4500K, with a smooth creamy white. Its about max output vs maximum color, but neither have a distracting tint. XPG2 engines will be 5700K.
