COURUI DO1 'Big Head' (Black/GRAY NOW AVAILABLE) $29.99 @ Gearbest ( use coupon: gbcourui) A long-throw modder's light!

95% of the flashlights are black.
That is pretty boring.
I have 3 lights that are not black: The Roche F8 and one SRK Clone and one “NEW-612” in Grey. That’s it.

I would love to have different Colors. Maybe even a white one? Or dark Red, dark green, etc.

Just ordered one… Thought the expedited shipping was $1.99, was 12 dollars … DOH! … oh well … scroode the pooch on that one … that’ll learn me to pay attention to what I’m doing. ahh … Well, it may get here a little quicker now anyway, we’ll see …
PS- the “gbcourui” code still is not working for the gray btw … so I got black … I think they look pretty cool in black …

I just ordered another one. I showed mine to a friend and he wanted one, so I ordered one for him in black. Let’s see how the shipping goes this time!

While the black orders keep increasing, my little cuckoo again told me that the Gray versions will just might be delivered tomorrow.

Well, that remains to be seen. In the meantime, the waiting continues.

I just realized this:

Mine didn’t come with AR coating, and I’m almost certain there’s nothing at all special about the glass. :frowning:

That's typical Chinglish for "standard glass lens" :) .

About the gray, is it their plan to release the gray after the coupon has expired?

gray code still not working... Cry

It still does not…as they moved again the availability next week. Sorry, guys.

i only hope the quality check of grey product will be the same of black ones…… :wink: or better… being fresh new production

Again, my little cuckoo over in Shenzhen has told me that the Gray will again be due to arrive tomorrow…

Ordered the Yezl Y3 with extension tube yesterday.

The Courui still is a nice light - even for 35$ it’s still cheap.
But for my plans, the Yezl is better. The Courui would be a pain in the arse to mod into a MT-G2 light - with the Yezl it’s easy and it has more cooling fins.

Anyone still waiting on the black batch which were send around the 30. September?
Mine is still on its way with NL post…

I ordered Sept.25, it shipped Oct.3 HK Post, not here yet.

Ordered from Gearbest:

Dashcam — Got it

Yezl — Got it

I was waiting for the gray, but I bought the O’pen of the GB GB. They have put it to back order.
I’ve frozen other purchases in GB until O’pen is sent. I’m so sorry, but I’m losing confidence.

I sure don’t enjoy the ‘discontinuance’ of OL’s Olight pen gb.

However, being a ‘veteran’ of failed gb’s due to MAP here in BLF, namely the Niwalker Vostro and the Crelant 7G10 with Doingoutdoor, the Nitecore EA41 and JaX Z1, both with Gearbest, I can’t help but feel sorry for the vendors and other organizers here in BLF of past failed gbs due to MAP or some other reason only known to the manufacturer.

Personally I can’t blame the vendors. I believe no vendor would ever want a gb to fail. In my past experiences with failed gbs, it’s always the manufacturer’s side that cuts or shuts off the deal, leaving the vendor with no choice but to cancel the gb, regardless of the status of the gb’s progress.

I understand but … For every purchase canceled I lose money for taxes and fees.

That’s true, but we cant’ fault PP/credit card companies too for they give us protection and we use their services for a fee.

Things like these are unfortunate realities unluckily.

Yes.

In this case the guilty is who does not take precautions … If the seller does not takes precautions the buyer should take. For this reason I’ve banned BG.

O-L says the lights are being shipped anyway. So it would appear that the OPen issue is working itself out. :wink:

We’ll see, I guess. I had to sign up with GB to make that purchase. If it goes through, then perhaps I’ll be buying other things from them as well. If it doesn’t, well….

As an aside, a friend of mine ordered this Courui D01 from this buy and had it sent to me to fix up for him. So we’ll see too if that one goes out in a timely manner.
