check out the nex review:

the sf e-series bodies and heads are compatible but only with max 1 cell (max 3,7V). SF e-series bodies which fit 17500 or 17650's might be what you are looking for.

2 cell bodies with a 17670 work great with the Nitecore extreme. I've used a E2D body, but there are other cheaper options:

Vital Gear FB2 BK, (flashlight body, 2 cell, black)- $40

I'd ask the sellers if they fit 17670s just to be sure. Not all Surefire or other 2 cell bodies are wide enough.

@nofair, doesnt run to much juice through it?
any body on cpf make a custom SS bezel for em' since u nitecore seems to have quit making them?
also, ordering some rc123's and charger, can i get a body to fit a 18650, 1500mah battery, and actualy run it?
im planning on sticking to rc123a for now should i go with AW Li-ion or Lifepo4
thanks 4 the replies

yeah sry bout that, i saw a notice about the general discussion forum getting crowded and realized this should have been in a different forum
Using a single 17670 is no risk. The light draws no more juice than on a rcr123.
There are 18650 compatible bodies: http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?t=217337, but I'm not sure any are being made at the moment. You could post a "want to buy"
I'd go with AW li-ions for rcr123s for the NEX.
Sverre
what risk would there be running a 2cell cr123 body?
The electronics in the NEX head can't handle over 4.2V so using 2 cr123s (6V) or 2 rcr123 (about 8V) would fry the electronics. A 17670 is the same size as 2 cr123s and fits in a 2 cell body, but supplies the same voltage as an AW rcr: 4.2v. It just has 2 times the amount of energy so your light will run 3 times as long.
Sverre
thank u sir thats the answer i was lookin for!!! :twothumbs

SO are you going to post pictures of your modified NEX when you get it completed? I'm a big NEX fan myself, and regularly carry a lightly modified GDP loaded Extreme :thumbsup:
