Oh man... I had just made up my mind to take the plunge and grab one of the last two Grants available. What to do!?
The one thing that I will add is again one of form and function....
The GG Grant @ 20mm diameter, in my opinion has the perfect form for function ratio. Add another 3mm and the form starts to take a hit in favour of function. Now while 3mm isn't a huge amount bigger, the diameter will of course be a little bigger.
So there will be the people who absolutely love the multi purpose full functionality of the GG Transformer, but there will also be those (like Fred) who prefer the sleeker simplicity of the 1 piece GG Grant which still has both form and function in abundance.
For me the only real advantage of the Transformer over the Grant is the 18650 battery which provides the best runtime @ 3.7V.... however, I rarely use 3.7V so is this really an advantage, and when I need 3.7V, the AA size 900mah battery is more than satisfactory.
So my opinion (which I have already said in private), is that you have the Transformer to satisfy full functionality, but you keep other models because not everyone will be satisfied by functionality alone. Of course you can't please all the people all the time, but there is compromise.....
OR:
If you only want to produce 1 GG = Transformer, which makes a lot of sense and is completely understandable, then you know my opinion on this, which is to only increase the diameter to 21.5mm (instead of 23mm). Then you have closer form/function ratio - the biggest 3.7V battery would be 1800mah + and most of the batteries would fit better because the internal diameter would be tighter = 17mm.
So the big question is would people be satisfied with a 3.7V battery that has a little less runtime than the 18650 (standard 18650 is 2400mah vs 1800mah) in favour of a better form (21.5mm vs 23mm) and generally tighter fitting batteries overall?
And remember 1800mah is still double the runtime of the current Grant 3.7V so far more than ample!
Anyway, that's my 2 cents...

I think it would be nice to have the option of all three models. Each one has it's charms
But I can see how it would be much easier from a manufacturing standpoint to do the one.
I think Tim's right on. I am generally satisfied with my 901...nice and small and usually, but not always, pretty decent hits, so the 3.7 volts is great for me. I wanted much better battery life and more dependable good hits in a small package. I'm the perfect customer for the Nano.
While I think the Transformer would be fun to play with, I'd still rather have the Original Nano over the Transformer Nano, just because of the smaller package.

Hi Tim...
I was trying to PM you with a few questions re: ordering. But your PM box is full.

I agree, i'll take the slim GG 6V.The one thing that I will add is again one of form and function....

Your 2 cents is pure wisdom Tim
Sakis, whatever you choose to do will be the right thing, and we'll always be behind you
It does sound like very good idea and Tim has valid points. You led us this far shepard, with your amazing abilities.
Everytime I see the transformer in your vids, it does look official and sexy. 3mm isn't to bad at all but then again having a product and being able to call it the GG classic will always be very nice casualty.

what is GG classic
Iwant transformer with 18650 batteries -------
oh, wait a minute, I'm dead, shouldn't be here, ---- sorry -----
LOL True! Aw man thats just...sexy baby LOL
Classic is a name I use for Grant in my own thoughts Bunny.
Sakis I still think the slim should still exist though. It is a very brilliant idea. Hard works not easy! Ha ha

Yep, makes perfect sense and retains your sanity, too
But...what about the slim?
When I compare the slim with the trans I feel sad for the first one!!! 600mah and 3,6 volt5 is too little for me now. Maybe better buy an analog
I think it would be nice to have the option of all three models. Each one has it's charms

Thanks sweety for your kind words. I want to make only Trans not because its easier for me but for the future abilities it can give you. I have no problem to make what people want but I just put my opinion. I dont deside anything alone, you deside for everything. That was the reason I put the issue in public discussion.
I want to thank smoke for his fast shipping to the USA. I ordered the 801 adapter and 510 adapter and that shipping was as fast as anything in the states. No more worries about slow shipment overseas with smoke as seller. The only thing I do not like is the have to sign for the item. Alot of times I, am not home to sign and have to go to post office next day to receive. Shipping is great those!
If the slim was 6v, I would make this for sure truelove but the battery tecnology is far from this
