Looking for thrower 2x 18650 unprotected

What happened? I remember back in the day most people
would pass on a flashlight if it wouldn’t take protected cells?

I just replaced all of my old 18650 cells about 12 some almost 8+ years old. With new Sanyo 18650GA cells.
I have 3 left over figured it would be nice to get a 2x 18650 flashlight. Seems like most of these flashlights
require not only button top but protected cells as well.

Im fine with adding a solder blob for contact but not necessarily ok with using magnets for spacers.
looking for a thrower under

And yes I did search. Most of the 2x throwers that I wanted. That had reviews here or at cpf. Require protected button top.

Thanks

Olight m3xs-ut, maxtoch m24 sniper comes to mind.
There’s quite a few out there…I just don’t know many because I never liked 2x18650 lights.

Wowtac a4?

Similar to the thrunite offerings. 2x 18650 cells. Xhp35hi. Sells on Amazon for just under 40. There’s a review or two on here.

That’s the one I wanted. Wow tac A4 It won’t work with unprotected cells according to a review here

It should. It just needs to be a buttontop

I received this from Wow Tec
Battery must be at least 68 mm long, protected and at least 5a.
