No you wouldn't increase the voltage for more then it was designed for without possible harm! That we don't want to see! A working solution as I was saying before however would be finding a good way to mount the contact spring in there that will hold some tension on the 18650 you have in while be inside the fist extender without using the cover. That would be saved for the last extender where you can slip a rubber cap over the end and have you walking stick all set to go! 
Now to spruce that up just a little bit more you could add the Sax -J clearomizer or another led lit idea someone has to give it that walk along at night effect! It wouldn't so good during the bright sunny days however due to that amount of chrome reflection being the problem. You would then need at least a temp covering on all those extenders?!
