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.
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.
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.
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.
This is the reflector of my light (tried to clean, got worse):
One of GB offers: “We will resend you a new one and you need to pay us half amount of the items to cover the compensation.”
I don’t want to pay any extra money, so I asked for a half-price refund via in-store credit.
I don't understand... The Gray one is now listed at $31.04 on a timed special here, only $1.05 more than the Group Buy price? the gbcourui code still does not work on gray.... Seems like you can order the gray one now for just a buck more, so maybe this is it? Maybe this is the deal they will have for the gray version? Seems silly to just save $1 to wait for the GB offer.
