The Panasonics can be a pain as they are way over spec for length but I've got them working by unscrewing the battery tube from the head by a turn or two. Done right up they seem to put too much pressure on the tail cap/switch.

Hmmmm even my shorter original Ultrafire ones give me grief - they are my originals that I've used successfully in all my 18650 torches over the years.
Got warning on that DX link - "Due to new airline safety regulations announced by the ICAO, shipping of “pure power” products to your shipping address is not allowed. SKU:120476"

I'll see if Aliexpress is any better.
