Yeah I don't think that part recorded I was happy I saw it live. I had asked about the possability of a 26650 mod and he said there is no reason for them if his battery ideas work out.
Hm... interesting indeed. As long as voltage dropdown isn't big I'm all for it.
Thank you all for the help. Looking forward to getting to know you all and asking MANY questions 
On one of the Flashlight (Torch in U.K.) Forums there's a guy who ships from Hong Kong; great prices and he certainly will ship to Asia.....
I'll see if I can find the link
If anyone is looking to stock up on batteries; I strongly recommend they go with 18490's and 18500's....trust me on this; you'll be happy if you do.
He must have classified info on the GGVV someone get him!!!
I am curious about this post too though.

I hope you do Imeo! It will be one less thing to worry about when designing as well for the end users. I can't wait for this to happen myself! 
I will solve soon the power issue on ecigs Fright.
Always so mysterious - I'm really excited to see what Imeo has up his sleeve this time! The battery has always been the weak link in the vaping experience, if anyone can solve this issue it's Imeo!
I'm little skeptical about those batterys but I want to be wrong Batterys are giving problems to many industries, not only e-cig. To have longevity they are usually big and heavy and for our use when we stick them almost in our mouth we want some kind of protection too.

Welcome Sax! You will soon understand what all the excitement is about. I've thought long and hard about the GG products.
Not being a smart guy, I have to simplify things in order to understand them better. I also like to use alegory and analogies.
My take is like this;
We can't all have a Rolls Royce or Benz or a Learjet ect, but, the finest vaping device, the GG can be afforded by anyone with the savings of just a few months of smoking. What a great way to celebrate a quit!
The other benefit of owning a GG are the good people on this forum that are selfless when it comes to helping each other out.

Thread tl;dr. But for what it's worth, David at Super T posted a graph of the voltage drain under load with different 18650 batteries.
The best 18650 battery to use depends on what you consider to be a spent battery. If you generally replace batteries when they get down to 3.7v, then go with an IMR. If you prefer longer vaping over hotter vaping, then a protected cell might be better for you. Don't be fooled into thinking a 2900mAh cell will last longer than a 2600mAh. As you can see on David's graph, the 2900mAh's voltage drops more sharply than cells of a lower rating.
No mystery or secrets....
If you think about it, an add-on will be available, so make room for it by buying batteries that will allow for it (18500/18490). There's not much difference in performance between those and the 18650 so prepare for what's comin'.
Thanks Para, I see now. I thought maybe you meant they were better batteries, or that 18650s were going to stop being produced. Ha! I understand now.
Are there any bigger batteries that will work with just the telescope and the stealth cap? i.e. 18490?
I went ahead and ordered a telescope anyway while picking up some other supplies - at least those are in stock - if nothing else, it'll be less of a wallet-dent when the top tubes are back in stock.
The 18490/500's are about the biggest batteries that will fit with just the telescope and stealth cap.
I use AW IMR 18490's this way quite a bit, they work very well imo.
