Sold/Expired WTB: CR123 to 18650 sleeve adapter

I am hoping to get some kind of sleeve adapter to make my CR123 batteries not giggle in my flashlight that uses 18650s. So they will need to be long enough to hold 2 CR123 and I would like to get 10 of them. I've done a bunch of searches but only come up with a very expensive option, $14.00 each, that I'm not willing to pay. Thanks for any help.

Really cheap way to do it is with electrical tape wrapped around the body of the 123 cell. Not very elegant.

Try contacting Martin White. I purchased sleeves from him before.

you know these white plastic pipes to house electronic cables in walls?
get one from You home depot store and cut in lenght + make a cut alongside the shortened part so the batteries can be pushed in

I went to hardware store and found some black plastic tube stuff that was real thin. Its black and you can cut it with scissors. Made a slew of sleeves for about $5.

Thanks BIGLOU, I saw that post and it is probably what I'll do if I can't actually find sleeves.

Thanks yellow, Not too sure what product at home depot you're talking about but I haven't been able to find anything that is the correct diameter. I'd love to find the right sized material and just cut it to length but no luck so far.

Thanks Str8stroke, I wish I could find this, was it actually the correct diameter for this application?

Got some paper, tape, and free time?

Might cost you a few cents...

Thanks, I did see your post on this but I really would just like a simple plastic sleeve....I might go with the rubber bands.

Thanks mckeand13, I saw that one too, it's the one I mentioned above. At $14.00 each it is way too rich for my blood. Martin White, mentioned above, has them for quite a bit less for the same quality, I may go with that. Still hoping for a solution for getting a bunch for under $10.00

I ended up using Martin White, best price and it was the sleeves I wanted. Martin also was very desirous to make sure I was very satisfied with his product. Custom made and shipped within a week. Thanks for the suggestion Cerealand and Thanks to Martin D. White for getting these to me. http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/member.php?90482-MartinDWhite
