E head E tail body in 2x18350, 2x18500, and 2x18650 configurations

You can not load an 18650 from tail side of E tail body but to load from head side please see problems here.

Correct, in order to fit an 18650, the body needs to be able to split apart somewhere between the head and tail threads (just like the TB or MirageMan e-series 18650 split bodies)

Because the aw c cells haven't been available for a long time you have quite a few lights which aren't selling. Not your fault I know but it is a problem. There are some excellent 26650 cells out there now. If they'd fit diameter wise maybe some extensions for your 25500 lights so people could use modern up to date and available cells in them.

I have a single and double 25500 FM host; 26mm cells don't fit them.

 

[vicv]

So diameter is too big?

 

[naked2]

26mm cells won't fit into a 25mm body.

 

[vicv]

Fair enough. 17mm cells will fit in a 16mm body. Wasn't sure how tight he made the battery tubes

 

[fivemega]

17mm cells will fit in a 16mm body.

Surefire 6P (and alike) was also designed to work with 4x2/3A rechargeable system (6R) using extension tube. Therefore 17mm diameter was necessary.
BTW, 25mm battery will rattle in 26mm diameter body.

 

[vicv]

I did not know that. Thanks

[SIZE=+2]Anybody else with new incandescent host ideas?

Let's talk about LEDs here.[/SIZE]

C tail 51mm extension for 3x18350/2x18500 to accommodate third 18500, with a19 type knurling

Those 1D bored for 4AA were nice, too

Would you consider an 18650 twisty body for a C head? No clicky, no tailcap, no fancy colors, just HA or black 18650 twisty body for a C head?

Several types of C head, C tail bodies are available now.
---------------------------

E head E tail body in 2x18350, 2x18500, and 2x18650 configurations

1x18350 and 1x18500 Bi-metal E head, E tail bodies are available here.
---------------------------

Correct, in order to fit an 18650, the body needs to be able to split apart somewhere between the head and tail threads (just like the TB or MirageMan e-series 18650 split bodies)

This means two different parts which will add the total cost.
Why not a E head, C tail plus tail cap? Same cost of split body. (two parts anyway).
Still interested on 18xxx ? Bi-metal E head, E tail bodies are available here.
-------------------------

There are some excellent 26650 cells out there now. If they'd fit diameter wise maybe some extensions for your 25500 lights so people could use modern up to date and available cells in them.

26xxx cells won't fit in 25xxx bodies. (Different diameters)
However, it is possible to make extension tubes for 26XXX bodies to convert 1x26650 to 2x26650
Main problem would be outside texture and look.
-------------------------

Those 1D bored for 4AA were nice, too

Why not a 2P 18650 1.25D?
Little less voltage but way more mAh. (3.7 volt, 7000mAh)
Or 3x16650 with more voltage. (11.1 volt, 2500mAh)

A 2x26650 c tail m head light would be awesome. Yes you have the 2x32650 light in this configuration but they're much fatter than a 26mm body. There are quality 26650s 5000+ mag cells available now. Could also use the newer 21700 cells out there in it. Along with the excellent lf assemblies and tad customs drop ins this would be an awesome light

 

[fivemega]

A 2x26650 c tail m head light would be awesome.

I am still trying to figure out how to install 26mm diameter cells into 19mm single barrel. :thinking:

 

[vicv]

Did you not make 2x 26500 bodies?

 

[fivemega]

Did you not make 2x 26500 bodies?

Oh, did you mean these with longer body to take 2x26650?
Normally, C tail refers to $urefire Z41 type/thread size.
Anybody else interested on 2x26650 M head with McClicky tail cap?
Almost same voltage of MB20 (~7.4V) and huge capacity of over 5000mAh, Slimmer than M6 and dealing with 2 rechargeable cells.

 

[vicv]

That could definitely work. I was more refering to something like this

I'd be in.
