Good 1×18650/20700 host?

Need a thrower host, should have big reflector and be able to fit in a large/loose pocket. Need it to be a host, but I'd love to take a look at a nice fully built thrower, maybe I can change out some components. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Hi light.speed, and welcome :partying_face:

Well, I don’t know many of those, maybe other members can help!
The Manker U12 takes both batteries!

Not sure this is the best, but other will step in to help :+1:

Thanks! I'll be checking that light out :)

Ultrafire F13. Pretty tight hotspot, throws quite well.

Out of the box it kinda stinks. Cheap unregulated driver, crappy UI, passable LED. Beautiful host, though. Mod it, and it kicks ass. Dedomed or HI version makes the hotspot smaller and tighter for even more throwiness.

Convoy C8, the de facto standard for compact throwers, easy to mod. Go hither, mod the crap out of it.

Just be careful, as different versions can take different sized drivers. All the ones I have take 17mm drivers, but some newer ones take… unno, bigger ones.

Seen the F17 before, but I think the F13 may be better. My C8 is pretty beaten up so I'll probably get another. Thanks!
