The smell will wear away, just like that famous "new car smell"

Exactly what Morelite mentioned. The same situation when my Kroll was a newbie. Give it some time to "wear" off a bit.
Enjoy!

Uhm.... why are you smelling your thumb?? :laughing:
just use the flashlight a lot, the more you use it, the sooner it'll wear off...

The rubber probably still contains production solvents that still need time to 'air' out. No worries, it'll eventually go away.
A rubber carry case that came with a gadget I bought recently had an incredibly strong smell, and didn't seem to want to give it up (it is made from recycled tyres). Eventually I left it outside during the day in the sun/breeze and the smell was pretty much gone after a few days. May be worth a try.

No one else brought this up, but why are you smelling your flashlight? If you can answer "yes" to this question, you really need to stop smelling it. The above posters are correct, though--just like new carpet really stinks, the smell will go away the more time passes.

put it in the oven on low for a little while, (don't let it get too hot), or set it in direct sunlight for a day or 2... the heat should help speed up the proccess...
