So you can use an 18650 charger for 26650s?
If 26650 fits in the charger, then sure. It's going to take longer to charge 26650 than 18650, but it should work without problems.
Cool. And that battery gives more runtime or current? Runtime, right?
Correct. Do a search and read up on king kong 26650, people say it's great. I haven't tried it myself, but I'm seriously pondering the thought.
Edit:
Here is one link:
Correct & correct on both accounts... depending on the specific cells in the comparison. To generalize across the board (26650 -VS- 18650 pros/cons) however would be incorrect, as there can be exceptions. Heres the charging setup I have been using for the last ~1.5-2 years. I have had no problems with over / under charging, cell capacity or longevity.

Kramer, would you mind measuring the inside diameter of the tube as precise as you can? I'd appreciate it. Thanks!
Just found a 3X XM-L T6 version.
Our very own Mr.Bright.Lights left a brief review:
Thanks, I wonder how bright this really is compared to the other triple xm-l lights out there. I guess they use a drop-i like this:
not very - there are reviews here - beamtech
Theres some pics floating around the www and its just a spring loaded drop in with no thermal conduction path for the heat.

which better? Gonna buy one of these. :D
Hmmm,
So if you had a free choice between the FandyFire HD2010 (3 x LED) and Shadow JM-07 Pro, which one would you choose? (Which one is brighter and has better runtime?)
I would get the first one.
I am not a fan of spring floating drop-ins, with no heat transfer path for the LED.
I would ge the second one.

Hopefully this wasn't a mistake, but I just placed an order for the FandyFire HD2010 Cree XM-L T6 600LM from DX because I had to have it in the color black. I also opted for the EMS shipping for an extra $17.00 to New York. Hopefully it won't arrive with to much damage, or better yet, none at all.
I was going to give TMART a try, but it cost $49.00 from them, and they refused to ship it in some sort of box to protect it, added to the fact, they won't sell it with the 18650 to 26650 battery sleeve. So I figured, why give them all this extra money when they won't even make an attempt to satisfy me with a little extra careful shipping or toss in the battery sleeve that every other retailer gives you with it. So much for TMART trying to get BLF business. Well, not from me.
Hi, I wonder if a C8 pill will fit in the Fandyfire? Can someone please try?
I ordered the grey version from Tmart and it came in a box and included the battery sleeve for it. I doubt the person you spoke to knew what they were talking about.
