here is a review of it off madvapes

I bought this with the hope of making an 18650 mod. When the battery is installed, it comes all the way to the end of the flashlight with no way to place a cap or atomizer connection on. I will give it 3 stars for the fact that it would very easily make a mod with a smaller battery but, it is still a low quality $2 flashlight. You get what you pay for in this case.

I have that light. The 18500 fits in it, may have to clip the spring a little, the 18650 fills the entire tube, with the bottom on, it goes all the way to the top, with just a little over enough room quarter ($.25). Mine has a homemade plastic cap (coke bottle top, cut to tubes ID, to fit)and a quarter, and is tight, I'm working on something that fits over the top well... So, to sum up, with the 18650, you have to extend the tube somehow to fit your connector and switch... A 20oz bottlecap may work, (with a little 'shaving' of the bottlecap threads, it does fit over the flashlight) but idk 4 sure that it will...
:smokie:
Hope that helps...

Rocket: those are a slightly different flashlight (maybe the same size, but I would bet slightly longer), notice the 'ridges' on the madvapes one, that's not on the ones in your pic... also note the ones in your pic have no 'side button', my guess is they modified the bottom 'master switch' to act as a momentary switch...

Seat the switch a little deeper and shave a little plastic off the switch carrier can give a WHOLE extra millimeter of internal length.


Bob, I agree, the 18500 is still a lot of battery.
and a flashlight with one of those would still out last most of the "factory e-cigs".
and nothing vapes better than something YOU BUILT :)
