OK Imeo will do
Tribal, these type of batteries really do prefer a slow charge. I bought a faster charger for my SD batts & they just don't stay charged as long.
Ohh yeaaaaaaaa!! The primer on my new Totally wicked atomiser ihas just burnt off, I am using a cartridge, GG is 3.7 volts now and its satisfying!!!! I am really enjoying this!!!
The charger took about 2 maybe 3 hours, perhaps they were not charged when they arrived so I don't know how long it usually will take but I really like the chargers design I also like the batteries, they come in tasteful blue and are about the same size as a AA battery! Also nice is the charger comes with a nice clear plastic case to keep it in - bonus!!! These are the new special protected batteries that Tim found that don't require the spacers
So lets vape! I am using Janty RY 4 18mg right now in a cartridge and the vapor is thick, throat hit is truly awesome and the atomiser is getting quite hot just like 6 volts! I can compare it to a 901 passthrough with a good powersupply such as my Kensington USB battery with 1.5amp output!! Even the Janty stick couldn't compare to my USB battery and passthrough but this thing does and the best bit is there is no wire and I have manual switch, the power and durabillity of GG is right there with us only tamed this time!!! The only thing is I need to take longer inhales but 5 seconds is enough and the vapour is not as warm as the 6 volts although flavour has increased by quite alot!
The batteries lasting a long time has to be the best feature, I will report back on that one!!!
You guys just have to get the 3.7 volt kit even as a long battery life emergency backup to the 6 volts or perhaps to use GG with 901 atomisers not working very well at 6 volts!!
I am going to start dripping now, damn cartridges haha!!

I forgot to say that GG only needs one battery and charger takes 2 so 1 charge = 2 vapes!!!
Thats what I will soon be finding out. I am hoping it will gave a day of vaping I tried to work it out, my Kensington holds 2000mah and it lasts 2 days so I thought maybe the 900mah 3.7 volt battery will almost last a day of vape since its only a little less than half as big mah!! I am going to take both batteries for a day of vaping tomorrow and leave the 6 volts at home and see what happens!! Then I will charge them again and maybe again to wake the batteries up fully and then see if it vapes into the night
I don't understand why the 6 volt batteries are 3 volt 800mah each and it takes 2 but they only last half a day hehe!!

The claimed ratings of these batteries are way over what they are. Many have almost double the true cpacity printed on them. I rekon the 900mah are closer to 600mah in truth, but thats still four times what you will get out of a 901 battery.
Thanks Frog, do you think the AA 3.7 volt is maybe not really 900mah too? If not its still a good deal, there are 2 of them and one charge = 2 vapes, sure beats the charge 2 batteries for one vape of my broken 6 volt charger until the new one arrives hehehe!
--EDIT--Ooops I mean 1 charge for half a vape from my broken charger that only charges one battery

I have notice that too Frog.
. The truth is out there, if you find it please tell me xa xa.You think your 2000 is 2000 Tribal? No, so we have to find out at our own the truth. We will see the smoking time and we will "deside" the real mah
I do have a digital lithium charger I use for my helicopter batteries that tells me everything, I'll try to get my .... in gear and test some of these cells out at some point.
Bottom line is, even if the 900mah is only 600mah thats still a lot more than the 110-150mah battery you get with a standard 901. I do know that the ultrafire 10440 500mah battery tests out at only 310mah.

You becha! I shall let you know how long my vaping time is for, so far I am chuffed with the 3.7 volt kit
1 I get a beautiful, sturdy charger and protected batteries for safety in tasteful blue colour
2. I get 2 vapes per charge as the GG only needs one battery at once
3. Maybe I will get a longer vape time lets wait and see, if not theres 2 vapes!
4. Maybe all 901 atomisers now work very well, the weaker ones will work great at 6 volts
5. I get to carry the beautiful GG more and leave the Janty stick at home, massive bonus!!
With 6 volts I had great trouble managing the charge for tomorrow, as my charger can only do one battery at once I had vaped one set in the evening it was time to use the next set so I only had one set for tomorrow sometimes less as I cannot charge at night! Now I have 3.7 volt batteries and a charger/protected batteries I can trust for overnight charging, I will have both batteries ready for tomorrow yayyy!
tribal... I got the 3.7 batteries (gray) from Tim which require the spacers. Which batteries are you referring to that don't need the spacers? Sorry if I missed it.
Here is the thread where he announces that the batteries have changed
http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/gg/24040-gg-grant-owners-please-read.html Now when you order the 3.7 volt batteries they will be the blue ones!!! The good news is the same charger for the grey batteries can charge the blue ones too
Hey Tribe Thanks for the point in the right direction for these batteries and the report to boot! I wanna try em now too, any updates on life yet? I like your avatar I still miss the cassette sometimes though
I still miss the cassette sometimes though 
I have had another stick button issue today. I cleaned with the sandpaper and no help. Sakis, I did the other thing that you had told me and no help.
I than decide to clean the threads. I took the button apart and there was some stuff on the button thread. I cleaned it and put it all back together.
She is now working great. You have to take apart to get to the button threads.
A video of how to do this would be helpful. I figure it out. Anyway if nothing works. This has worked for me. I took the button apart two times before I noticed the dirt on those threads.
