With a 18650 battery Tube it should work, but it will drop out of regulation soon:

18650s will not fit. They are too wide. Both 1x 17670 and 2x RCR123 will work.

4sevens used to make an 18650 tube that fit all the quarks, but they discontinued it. I have two of em and love em. I wish they still made it, but they kept having issues with them. I had an issue with one of mine, but they fixed it for me. It's a shame they're gone. Anyway, the 17670 battery works fine in the quark 123x2.

Also, when I use a 17670 or a 18650 I have not noticed the light falling out of regulation any sooner than with two CR123's or two RCR123's.

is there a noticable difference in using a 17670 battery vs the CR123's? brighter? longer run times using the 17? thanks and sorry for the questions. i am starting to feel the addiction lol

btw which MAH do you use with the 17670? 1800mah?
