Looking for a slim thrower, 18650/2xcr123, with a constant diameter of about 22mm. I'd like to get 40k cd if possible so maybe XP-G3 de-domed. Low and High mode at least, with memory. Budget is up to $200. Any thoughts people?

Hopefully someone can help you. I looked at several of Vinh's modded lights that made your budget but did not come close to your 22mm constant diameter,.
He had a few that met your criteria[surpassed in throw] but were 40mm/45mm.
Here is his website if you want to look:

Is it possible to get that kind of throw with a small diameter head?
Which one?

I do not think it is. That is what I came up with in my quick search!
35mm maybe...40/45mm a few on Vihn's website
Sorry chief, not sure what you're asking.

22mm is slightly smaller than the specs for this Olight which is ONLY 10Kcd stock. I would take a wild guess and say that V54 could get a max of 30Kcd,probably more like 20/25Kcd.

Vinh does a D26 module with about 60k, that's why I think 40k might be achievable with a slimmer flashlight. I have sent the master an email!

OK,I am not familiar w/ the D26 module,what is its dimensions?
You probably know it is a tall order to get a lot of throw out of a small diameter. You're looking for 400m of throw (40k cd). Reflectors require diameter in order to throw; smaller-diameter optics can focus some light, but tend to scatter it way more than reflectors.
For a reflector and a single LED, I think Vinh pushed the small form factor Emisar D1 about as far as it will go...with an XPG2 PDT at 700 lumens, he got 490m of throw out of a 35mm head (way bigger than you want, but only slightly more throw that you want). The unmodded D1 might be the best thrower value out there; the stock HI version is 414m of throw, 1300 lumens, and $40!
Vinh pushed the floody, optics-based Emisar D4 about as far as it will go in his D4vn, XPG2 PDT version. It gets hot quick, as it produces 2300 lumens; enough of those lumens are in the center that it has 400m throw, your exact goal. Tube diameter is 1", the head is 28.2mm. Yep, it is a "brute force" way to get throw, but it is the smallest diameter light I know of that meets your 400m throw goal.
If the diameter requirement is more important than the throw requirement, I think that the Zebralight SC63 is the smallest diameter 18650 light I can think of, but I'd be surprised if it throws more than 200m with a 24mm head. To get to 22mm, you're probably into AA/10440 lights. I don't really use those, but a quick search didn't reveal any that were over 300m throw. Again, physics is your enemy here: single-LED reflector-based lights need diameter to throw; optics can be smaller diameter, but tend to scatter light all over the place.
Good luck, and I hope that made sense!

You said 60k p60 dropin???
D26 aka p60 module has a 26mm diameter. Spec 7 on Vinh's p60 modules webpage.
I have one and it's a beast of a thrower! Three times the cd of another favourite, a Malkoff HOT. Measured using a cheap luxmeter.
Just checked, and Vinh rates his module at 55k, my memory is not what it was.

Nice one, that's a great thrower that I didn't even think of! What is the smallest diameter P60 host, about 31mm UltraFire WF-501B?

I forgot! I have One[1] P60 that I bought off of JMPaul320 about 2.5 years ago. It has a very warm tint that I like. It gets used every night under my lamp,,,low mode,,nice and easy on the eyes!
It is a Solarforce L2i. Certainly not high output or a throw monster. 25MM in diameter w/out Including the bezel.30mm w/ bezel/entire head. Maybe I can get another drop in to make it throw 400m!
Here is what Justin said:
its a p60 drop in that was built by nailbender - its a custom 1.7amp xpg2 neutral (3 mode with memory) - should be around 500 lumens or so. You can buy any p60 drop in and use this solarforce as a "host" - the led and reflector/driver are one piece and can be swapped out with other cool stuff
Thanks for letting me indulge on my ONLY P60!!

Any recommendations for another P60? It takes an 18500 battery. I am using a Sanyo 1700mah Protected. Justin gave me 4 of them. It also has a plastic tube inside the body to reduce the size to 18500. It seems like it is glued in.
