I thinking of getting a Zerbralight headlamp for a thru-hike. I will be taking some rechargeable batteries already for my e-cig (18650's). I was wondering if there was a Zerbralight that could take both the 18650's and regular AA batteries?

The reason I just don't go with the straight 18650 Zerbralight is because I think regular AA's would be more versatile, and also I hope to quit my e-cig before my hike (it's a heavy habit UL wise) in which case I wouldn't be taking the 18650 batteries and charger.

I also plan on using the 18650 batteries to charge my phone if needed.

leave the ecig behind and grab a pack of camel wides. That way your lighter can serve as dual use. It can start a cook fire or light a cigarette. Then when you're done with your trip don't smoke cigarettes anymore. Then cigarettes can be like a motivating force to go explore the wilderness.

18650s are not compatible with AA size or output.

Some aa lights can take a 14500 battery but that is the relative li-ion pair for a AA.

"I hope to quit my e-cig before my hike"

Then don't get a headlamp that matches the e-cig batteries. If you do, you are leaving yourself a mental back door to not quit the e-cig (and deep down you know that). Quit before your trip, get the headlamp that suits your needs and not your e-cig's.

Alright, thanks guys, I'm just gonna go with the AA one.

You are right JR, it would just be an excuse to bring the e-cig.
