Liberty flights, while a little overpriced has about 80 in stock last I checked. I will try to get pictures up I got some parts and my chibrid takes an 18650....

Let us know where you got the extension or post some pics how to make it. I totally want to encourage the use of good ingenuity in building and improving this gem.

Steammonkey has the extensions. I bought two in case I screwed one up modding it.
I used an abrasive cut off wheel at work to remove the male threads, then sanded it with an orbital sander to get it flush and semi bur free.

Now I just need to solder up my AGA top deck and I'll have a telescopic chebryid.

Yep that is how I made mine 18650...
I did it all with a dremel you have to go just a little below the skinny ube can thread all the way through.
Cut off wheel, then I used the flat of the cut off wheel to sand it smooth then I used a cone grinding wheel to give it just a slight bevel.

Just a technical note, baking bronze won't work out, you have to bake brass. :2cool:


On a side, anyone know where to get a Chi Chi replacement switch for ~$4? I don't recall which site I saw it on and which particular mod name it had... 'Chi Chi switch' does not google well.

Dang man if true I wasted $25 on a ROACHED,and MISLABLED AGA if that's the case. I'll post a picture of it tonight but it does appear to be the same from all I can tell.

I am absolutely gutted. :banghead::(

I know it's frowned upon but I'm in the market. $60 later and still no cheebrid....


Edit....this is what I have, far right....I'll still post pictures later....I've also recalled that I've misplaced the mech after coming home from a trip
