Which 18650 stainless steel hosts are out there?

LED Flashlights – General Info 18650 Flashlights
1

I only know the Convoy S7 from fasttech, are there any others?

2

there’s one in FFL. no name as I can recall.
there’s also another one in ebay that a little bit lumintop worm style, sometimes with fandyfire or ultrafire name…

I've had this Ultrafire for ages (must be more than a year :-) ):

The light is really solid, it is a nice host, and I modded it with a ww xml and a 2.1A Nanjg. But I am not really fond of it because if it had been aluminium, I could drive the led harder than that.

stainless is cool but i like them only as AAA or AA since they can get to be really heavy

this wasn't a horrible light

Looks great! I like shiny FLs.

Do you like bling-bling

The Trustfire F35 - price with BLF coupon: $27,19

Solarforce may have something suitable.

Here's an example

Heavy, as Boaz said, and SS does not handle heat well so be prepared to not use the High setting for long if its well driven.

I like this one most:

And some others I found:

I don’t know if they’re still available, but, at one time, Solarforce had a stainless steel L2x.

11

Guilty as charged. :D

The F35 looks nice with the dragon.. if there werent those glass-things around the head. So far, I like the S7 the best.

I know about heat issues, but SS is great for a beater light.

Well made light, although I don’t carry it anymore.

13

I really been eying up the blackshadow fire. But its price is driving me away. As well I haven’t seen one torn apart so I’m not sure how mod friendly it will be. Sounds like it has a funky UI from the factory.

Two working patterns:
High- strobe: Tightening the light head in clockwise direction to access to this pattern, using tail switch to change modes
High-Low-SOS: Rotating the light head approximately 60° in counter-clockwise direction to access to this pattern, using tail switch to change modes.

14

Both DX and Kaidomain have carried 18650 lights but you’ll have to check to find whats still available. A quick check of DX finds probably 6-8 small single 18650 SS lights.

15

This is the light that I referred to previously. D9

much more beauty than the rest :D

16

Even a stainless steel clicky cap? Wow! If I can order a bare host, thats my next flashlight. :D

17

Manafont used to sell these for $23 (and I thought they were a little pricey).

Now I can only find them on ebay for over $30…

It's out of stock. :(

bit bigger than 18650 but they will fit…

I’ve had my eye on both for a while.

I still love that blackshadow fire though, one day. …one day.

I bought two 503b SS from Manafont; I wanted to buy the third, but they were finished. They are good host P60. on one, I installed the crown SS of UF-C1.
