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... Smile

@ 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 :expressionless:

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:

“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

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! :stuck_out_tongue:

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.

Thanks Tom but being a bit new to all this, I’ll be sticking with protected batteries. However later on it may be something I consider.

Dear My Friend,

Thanks for shopping with GearBest.com.

Your order number is WW14091518024xxxxx and we have shipped your order out today.

Items in this package are displayed as follows:

I need the grey…
for 30$…
NOW!

I truly honestly NEED this light (OK, that’s a lie), is there something more accurate than “in a few days”?

Well, yesterday the factory said…‘4 to 5 days more’. Seems their ‘accuracy’s a bit off twice already so Dora and I decided to instead observe for ’a bird in hand’ policy….than to keep on announcing… but since you asked… haha. So in the meantime, sit back and have a :beer:
