Looking at making a XP-E2 thrower and I see they only need 2.8amps but is there a driver I can use that only uses one cell and not 2 ??

Any 8xAMC Nanjg driver will do.
And if you don’t want the annoying blink-on-low, get the C, not the D.
The nice C has 4 chips squooshed onto one side, and 4 stars that you can solder to the ground-ring to set its behavior.
The evil D has 4 evenly-spaced chips at N/S/E/W.

2.8 amps is pushing it with little return but I guess you know that. Built lots of lights using this led and 7135 based drivers in B158 torches at 2.2 amps.
I did a test as well let's hope we have similar results. (and welcome to BLF, MEM, it is nice to have another led-tester in the forum, with the bit different test-strategy that you are planning to follow, there's only more insight in the performance of a led !)
I received 6 XP-E2 Torch leds from DBCstm. They are the U5 bin from Mouser (Cree part nr. XPEBTT-01-0000-00Y80), which is the highest bin that Mouser sells and the highest bin according to the datasheet. Why Cree chose the XP-L bin-c…
