Re: FS:Guidesman 18650 Host+Heatsink $20
I don't know, I'd have to switch the caliper over to metric and remeasure. They are 1.08" OD x ~.85 length. I had originally made them all .9" in length, but they were all too long. These are the same hosts as my last two batches but for some reason they take a slightly shorter heat sink.
I gave up on trying to understand this long ago. Chinese are well known for randomly changing crap or just using what they've got to make it work.
That's why it's always good to look at everything first, cause with this batch of the same hosts as before, i've had to shorten the sink a tiny bit, and 4-5 of them had to have the OD shaved down a bit on about the last centimeter of the sink.
Some of them have a plastic filler glued into the head, while other used a rubber stopper sort of thing. You just never know what the hell you'll find inside a mass produced chinese product.....
Menards sell these hosts for $6.95 in silver black and red. I'm not sure if menards is a nation wide chain, i just went there for the first time to get these hosts after my source on ebay went dry.
