I second that n00b! A multi charger would be so welcomed... I just received my order with my pink and purple battery. May I say the purple carto on the purple battery is so awesome looking!

Look up Newegg and search them for Rosewill USB hubs. They have several that work great for inserting multiple USB chargers. The model pictured is the RHUB-300.
I use the RHB-330 which is also seven ports but has five of them "top mounted" so my chargers/batteries stick up rather than out, and use the other two ports for charging PCC's and such.
Any multi-port USB hub will do the trick, just make sure the power supply is big enough to provide the current you need to charge the number of batteries you need to charge. With efficiency loss factored in I'd go for at least 250mA per port. If it comes with anything over 2A you'll be fine.
Yes, I use mine stand alone - just the power supply. All the ports are taken up with chargers or cables for charging (five 808 chargers on the top ports, an eGo charger and a mini-B USB cable in the two ports on the end). I've had mine for a couple of months now, no problems.
Ok I got a good one that I am sure everyone would love to hear an answer to and if that answer was a yes we would go bat crap crazy! Leaford any chance Bloog is looking into retail sales in stores like Kmart/Walmart, Gas stations, Walgreens/Cvs. Its just that I keep seeing those njoy and Xhale e-cigs at gas stations around me and would love to be able to buy Bloog there. Why is it always the junk brands they sell at retail locations? I swear its to get the public to hate them before the good ones are available. Anyway I for one would love to be able to stop on my way to work and pick up a new pack of 555's for $10 and no shipping or waiting. Anyone else agree?!
Bloog has developed a retail style kit that would work quite well in any store.
I personally am working with a couple of local outlets and should soon have Bloog in the public eye.
I know there was mention in another thread about going public, but you may also consider becoming a reseller and try to get them in the stores yourself. Then it becomes a win, win situation, bloog goes public and you start making some money at the same time.
Just a thought.

Prometheus, We would of course love to break into the big chain stores, and have in fact had a few meetings, but I can't say any more on pain of death (or at least being made to eat unpleasantly spicy foods.).
Still its great to know that Bloog is looking in that direction.
Leaford I have a suggestion/request for new accessory. New cases! I was just looking at my old Nintendo DS case and thought hey! soft cases. Although I don't know about real soft. Maybe like a firm leather or something in between. You could put a couple loops for batts and cartos in there and we would be set. I think it would be much or comfortable to walk around with that in my pocket then the hard cases that you sell. Possible?
Just thought I would throw in an observation about the mutli-usb chargers and the benefits of 'vertical' charging.
When I charge my bats they go in the charger and stick up like candles on a birthday cake. After the charging cycle is complete I sometimes notice a small amount of juice in the air hole on the usb charging dongle (the small thing you screw the bat into).
I think this is because the bat heats up a bit during charging and it allows the juice that may have gotten into the battery air hole to leak out.
I am pretty reckless about filling my cartos to the max and I have yet to kill a battery...I attribute this to vertical charging...and Bloog quality, of course

Very possible and a great idea, thanks! There are already a couple of soft cases on the market, so it's not groundbreaking, but it might be nice to add that to our selection.
I'd just like the PCC case to be a 1/2 inch wider to hold 3 cartos instead of 2!
