Both i think would sell without a doubt, Best thing may be for Imeo come with 2 GG's to satisfy needs between both....:pA poll would only benefit the top choice, but to build both would be pleasing all. Some of my friends like small and very compact 16340 size mod and others like 14500 mod's. Its a win win situation, Plus cost would be lower due to less matierial being used im thinking and affordable to those not wanting to go high.... The whole key is powerful and small GG ofcourse with locking switch that is!

I agree and I would get both at the same time. I like both 16340 and 14500 batteries. They both deliver a nice vape and last at least 4 hours. Even with LR atties i get at least 4 to 5 hours of vape time with these batteries.

14500 and 16340 delivers all the above. as a matter of fact the 16340 seems to hang on to 4v for a longer time period than other batteries before dropping off to 3.7v and then hanging out at that voltage until time to charge.

Grimmer,

nope, I have tried that set-up. No match for the 6V and the 3.2 Ohm..

I just thought of something..., Being Imeo already is making GGTS, he can make a single 16340 device out of just the lower bottom part of GGTS and a atomizer cap that will attach without the center telescope brass piece. This can very small and compact and nothing other then new atomizer cap threading and possibly shorter spring or no spring for negative side of battery. This would be a very, very small compact sexy device and Imeo won't have to deal with much adjustments as well as making a totally new one. Just a idea i was thinking after i took my GGTS apart and put a single 3.7 16340 in without the atomizer cap~.

Bristow, Ok.
Remember the Nano? It was a wonderful PV but it was only a 3.7V device. I am sure there are people that still use and love their Nano. The only problem with the it was there weren't any options. The Grant could be used with 3.7 or 6V. I think the options made it special. I believe the GGT Storm is the most popular with the endless options. It seems to me that reducing the options will cut out a lot of potential buyers. I do understand the argument that we already have a device with all the options but a lot of people want smaller with a bigger battery life. We now have the Slim and the double Slim but a lot of users would like a small 6V device.

I don't have any answers. This is just my opinion.

Stormy I agree 100%. I had a mod that used 14500s and cr2s that was small and could be concealed. It was great but I prefer protected batteries and it didn't take protected cr2s so I sold it. If Imeo makes the grant with the 6volt protected feature I'll buy it. If not I'll pass.

I just can't be satisfied with 3.7V. I am hooked on high volts. A lot of people can swap from one to the other. I also remember a lot of people complaining after they bought the Nano that they couldn't use 6V. I thought that was stupid because they chose the Nano over the Grant just for the size.:ohmy:

a lot of people are going to 3.7v using LR atties and using high drain batteries. Reason being stacking batteries are not safe and the user is taking a risk. So with high drain batteries and a LR attie the user gets an increase in performance with out having to take unnecessary risks. I love the LR atties and its close to a 5v vape. And a lot more people are going with this style of vaping. So decreasing the width and going with a 3.7v device will increase the popularity of the GG... 17mm is rather slim for a grant and 18.5 to 19mm is rather slim for a nano... which are both very good devices and with the lockable button these two will be a great going out ecig with no worries. :)

3.7V is totally nothing in comparison to 6 volt. the LR atties are crap, burn the liquid easy and again is no match for 6V in terms of flavor what so ever.
stacked (AW-LifePO4) batteries are perfectly safe with the GG and not more of a risk then using common sense in life.

Again: making a GG (not the slim) to run on 3.7V is like driving a Ferrari with a
Ford Mondeo engine :D

Most if not all the issues with stacked batteries have been with unprotected batteries. If Imeo makes it so protected batteries fit it will serve two crowds. Those that like 3.7 and those of us who like 6 volt. I just don't get the vaping experience I like from LR atties but I'd like a smaller device for stealth vaping.

that is your opinion and I have yet to have problems with the LR atties except the ones from a couple of suppliers which was 2 months ago... like leaking issues, but the last two batches I got were outstanding and I get tons of vapor even from regular 14500 3.7v trustfire battery. So for going out and with that setup I would have no worries or complaints... I can get a good vape on without really being notice and that is what people want. There is no way I would lag around a device that has stacked batteries. A 17mm or 19mm device that has the lockable button will be perfect on the go.

At home a larger device like the GGTS is great... but on the go its to bulky and to noticeable.

GGTS has the fuse on it so there is no danger anymore Grimmer. Batteries are always batteries. LiMN can explode but more rare.

As for the "close to 5 volt" experience that those batteries give, its a small myth, thats for sure. The reason is that some miliohms more have an effect to current but its small. Maybe we can say that its not a 3,7 volt vaping but a 4,1 volt vaping. Its a diference, I agree but not a "5 volt vaping"

LR atties drain the battery very fast, thats a fact too. They reduce the battery size by 50%.

I agree with you about sizes. Maybe I need to make both of them.

I get around 4 to 5 hours of vaping time with my 14500 trustfire batteries with a LR attie.... normal atties I get 5 -6 hours... not really that much of difference.... I get a warmer vapor from LR atties and a lot vapor as well even using the same eliquid as always. If your woundering I vape around 4mls - 6mls daily.

I didn't say it was a 5v vape... I said an almost 5v vape.... and a lot of people use this setup... even if they didn't want to use LR atties a lot of vapors still want a small device.
