Something to fit an 18650 batt?

[DuineAnaithnid]

I am looking to make my first mod (originally I was going to go with the madvapes tube kit, but decided I did not like the look of the acrylic tube, to each their own) and I want to be able to use an 18650 batt (so I also have the option of using 2 smaller ones) and I was wondering what kind of container I should be looking for (I kinda want a tube mod).

I know the batt itself is 6.5 cm long and 1.8 in diameter, but how much extra room will I need to install the additional components?

Thanks in advance

There's lots out there (not many pre-built), I'm using a 3aaa flashlight for my 18650 tube mod, however, the batt fills the whole tube (some lights are a little longer), so all my components/wiring are going to be in a 'cap' for the top...

You sure? You better buy one and measure it.

Willy's right, a protected batt will be just a little longer then that (closer to ~67-68mm then 65mm or 6.5cm) and 1.8in diameter? that would be over 2x bigger then my 18650s.. .7-.8 in diameter would be closer....

hope that helps....

I meant both of those to be in metric, sorry

I decided to get a 3XAAA flashlight with a 18500 instead, so I can fit everything into the light itself.

Thanks guys.

i think it was a typo 1.8 mm in diameter is what he meant i believe, not 1.8inch

Worldwide Wholesale Distribution of Valves, Fittings, Tubing & Flanges: World Wide Metric check it out the info is correct, for folks used to working in metric, discounting the protection circuit of course.

***DING*** - Auto Typo Spotter says.... "1.8 mm in diameter" is a very slim battery indeed!

I meant 1.8 cm by 6.5 cm......
