After a couple of days of delays, the gray version’s sku will be posted within today in GB’s website. Stay tuned.
Hi guys,
So sorry for the delay of the gray version, here is one contrast pic for the black and gray, and we will post the sku of gray version on our site later 
Announcement: Oct. 15, 2014
The Gray version is now available. Same product link: http://www.gearbest.com/led-flashlights/pp_85126.html
*just click on the Black – Gray box your color of choice (seen below the regular price and just above the “Add to Cart”)
Take note that the Gray version has two modes only (High-Low) and has no strobe
Edit (Oct 16): “A long press on the switch ~2secs activates a hidden strobe”. (Teardown and Mod Thread of Courui XML2 Aka "Big Head 3x18650 Side-Switch Thrower") by LinusHofmann
No color choice on your site.
Like the no strobe for the gray.

dang i should really buy the grey, i am really digging the color.
The gray option shows and works for me, but the promo code does not work for the gray version -- only works for the black version. Needs to be fixed... ?
OK it has the Gray box now.
Thanks
Yeah, you are correct, it does not work now. The gray has just been uploaded about an hour ago. It’s almost 9 in the evening Shenzhen-time now I don’t know if anyone at Gearbest can still fix it.
Sweeet!!!! Just waiting for the coupon code to work!

No prob - I'll wait. Ordering a gray COURUI and a C108S for $14.35 on a timed promo, and using up my pts for another $1 and change... 
@ Tom E
Thanks for posting about the glitch about the non-acceptance of the coupon code on the gray version.
Although I have just sent a pm to CSgearbest, I’m not confident it can be fixed now as it’s already 9:13 in the evening, Shenzhen.
Tomorrow then.
Finally. So glad I waited for gray, much better looker IMO.
Any holster recommendation for this light?
Hi guys,
Thanks for your support again!
The coupon code for the gray version does not work now, because the one we got yesterday is a sample for testing, not the batch supply, it will be available for ordering in a few days, I will update on this thread. I’m really sorry for this inconvenience 
Announcement to date:
Oct. 16, 2014—-there has been a mix-up regarding the strobe. It is hidden in both color versions.
As quoted in this review in the op:

Mine arrived - happy days, batteries on charge, soldering iron warming up!
Just gonna do that tailcap wire today, so I can have some fun with it before I break it, sorry mod it lol! :bigsmile:
The tracking info for mine was just updated today to show that it arrived in NY city at 9:42 PM two days ago! I guess I should have it soon, maybe even today. Sure wish the tracking could keep up with it. Yesterday, it still said Origin Post was preparing the shipment, although apparently, it had hit New York the night before! I’m so ready to just have this light in my hands!
Hehe it’s in mine! done the thick wire in tailcap quickie for now - will do the copper strips at the weekend maybe.
As for tracking/insurance, I couldn’t seem to add it before paying (paypal), I saw the option directly after but had already paid. So mine was untracked anyway as it turns out.
Very impressed so far, but sadly can’t compare it to my STL-V6 as it’s broken. The only thing it lacks is a lanyard hole - I can’t help think it’s gona get dropped or slip from my hand.
Hope you get yours soon! 
Hi guys, out of interest what batteries are you using/planning to use in your Courui’s? I have some Trustfire flame 3000mAh ones I got from Tmart which seem fine so far.
Do the Panasonic (NCR18650b) ones fit, I read they are slightly thicker? The trustfires are 18.48mm and the Panasonic’s are 18.73mm (or so I read) - there isn’t masses of free space around the Trustfires, hence me wondering if the thicker ones will fit ok, as I plan to get some next month.
Length isn’t a problem as the trustfires are the same.
It's a parallel setup, so no need to use protected, although protected seem to always be button top. Ideal cell is an unprotected button top, like these: fasttech.com-pana-ncr18650b-3400mah or these are real nice for ultimate low resistance if you crank up the amps: mtnelectronics.com-Efest 35A bt.
These would be great: mtnelectronics.com-Pana BD bt, combining capacity and low resistance.
The Pana B's unprotected would have no problems fitting.
