Question about Flashlight mod

[Thomas Simms]

Would an 18650 fit in this?

Aluminum Tube Flashlight, 3AAA, 9 LED, Easily Moddable!

 

[jctennis]

I doubt it, but an 18500 would.

I've seem a FEW of those with an 18650 in them.
But the 18500 would be easy.

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.

18650 protected cell will fit,
saw these someplace

meant DOLLAR STORE Flashlight, OK so I can't type.

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...

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...

 

[Rocketman]

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

 

[Thomas Simms]

Well i think I just might be making a PVCPV. (PVC personal vaper)

 

[Rocketman]

If you use a PVC body and PVC caps would that be:

PVCPVCPV?

 

[b00stzx3]

What about CR123s. I got some from batteriesinaflash (some disposables just for fitment) for my det0nator mod I'm going to redo.

Naah - it's be a PVCPVPVC... But if you made it into a PT...
