I actually got it early on in the red release from FastTech, but I’m pretty sure it’s real. The internals look like the “real” pics in the comparisons with the fakes. They look brass opposed to stainless or painted silver.
Regarding the switches, the blue and red look the same except for the switch height.
Yep looks like you’re right on that one. Must have been a different source or Simon tweaked it but those both look legit. Glad the new one is even better. I haven’t got my blue one yet but I’m looking forward to it.
Knock it off!!! You guys are trying to make me order a blue one and I haven’t even gotten my two real red ones yet. 
Let me join the party here :bigsmile: I got mine yesterday.
The Blue is actually lighter than I expected, but the shade is still very nice
I can confirm the switches have changed, for the better, much easier to click in on the blue one
Standing comparison
The tailcap fit is improved compared to the past, especially when you look at a late production grey version, although this could be because the blue one is the only I got direct from Simon
Put me down for a Red and Blue 18350 tube!
No clips.
Thank you,

I’m holding out for blue 18350 with clips that would rock. Note a ReyLight ti clip works well on 18350 convoys using M2 nuts and bolts.
Ordered 4x Blue ones direct from Simon 23.August, and the lights is still in China. 
Simon has always shipped the lights I have got from him fast, but not this time. And I ordered before the % offer and E-pack, so I had to pay full price, and got slow slow shipping.
Drop Simon a message?
He is always fast in replying to queries.
Done that, but he mixed the orders or something, for he was talking about batteries and their slow shipping, but I did not order any batteries with the lights.
Yep!
Is the light still waterproof with the steel button?
Can’t wait for 18350 tube :bigsmile:
The steel button is not waterproof. Spalsh resistant at best. Beauty comes I at a price…
+1 Would be the perfect edc, especially with a clip.
I would love red and blue 18350 tubes as well, but Simon doesn’t even sell the gray 18350 tubes, does he?
I have not seen the tubes by themselves, but the whole host is less than ten dollars.
Yep. S2+ shorty 18350 , ONE in red and ONE blue, each with the 7135*4 driver and deep carry clips in an epacket. TAKE MY MONEY PLEASE SIMON.
I have sent pm to Simon on Aliexpress and he has told me blue 18350 tubes are in the making!
Did he say anything about making Red ones? - For my lover? 
Thanks,
-Chuck
LOL… He is working on shorty tubes for both the blue and red S2+. The last he told me, he was still working with the manufacturer on the deep carry clips. Unlike some other manufacturers who will not be named, he won’t just make them and sell them regardless of quality to fill an order. Simon doesn’t mess around with quality. He needs to know first that it can not just be done… but be done properly. The short tubes are a go. The clips… we shall see.
