me too. been thinking this for a while. hopefully it will be out. I carry 3-4 batts at any one time. I can go through them all in a day of heavy smoking especially with the amount of people that want to try it. i need a quick way to charge them. my usb charger is slow.
i found on DE this charger, which look ok for the cigars bat, and its for 2, some experience with it?

I have this one: DealExtreme: $17.50 Soshine 10440 3.6V Li-Ion Battery and AC Charger Set with USB Power Port
It costs more; and has a bit less possibilities. But it seems to have a safety built in that the others don't have. I'm not very savvy in electronics, so don't ask me what the exact difference is (maybe those in the know can see that by looking at the descriptions) - but I went for the safety-argument (given bij Knutselpeter, whom I trust to be in the know on these things). And it sure charges my cigar- and cigarillo-batteries fast and well, without having to keep a watch on it while loading.

That should work fine. It has two separate channels and that's what you want. Since you're going the dealextreme route, be advised that the batteries they sell are often overrated. Don't believe claims of 500mAh in a 10440.
This is actually one of the advantages of going for a cigar. Generic batteries & dual charger for cheapo.
thanks jason for advice abut batteries; yes -maximum "generic elements" that why i decide for ecigar; hard to be depend from only one particular brand-producer; addicted smokers (as me) getting nervous fast when they did not get replacement ;-) for the dead parts.
DC I got a DURACELL INSTANT CHARGER from argos I posted it somewhere it will charge about 4 njoy style batteries via a usb lead and only takes a few hours to recharge it.
It takes about 2-3 hours then to recharge the e-cig batteries the same as if you plugged it in at home. You also need a normal e-cig usb lead.
Its great for when you are away from the computer or home for a while.

When I bought it, it came with 2 batts of 600 mAh. And as said: this seemed very much overrated... and now I am seeing the same batteries saying they are 500 or even lower mAh.
The important difference between the Trustfire and the soshine seems to be however that you can leave the soshine alone, it will stop when battery is full (regulated per battery'so you can charge battery's that are at different stages of charge together at same time) and some other safety in too; while the Trustfire needs supervision, and misses safety against overload or shortcircuitry. Several reports of the Trustfire-chargers catching and causing fire on dutch forums (though those were a while back, not seen any lately... so perhaps Trustfire did do some more work on them?)

Amen ... too bad they don't sell those "adapter" type plugs here in the USA...I Remember Emp posting a link or product model for the device and it was only available in the UK. I wish I could find something equivalent here in the states ... of the couple hours I spent looking, I couldn't find anything
making me use the search function hey ds2k08 ... LOL ...
Found it!!!

Ihave tried several units/brands and have been charging the batteries as required by the manual. I have been checking the performance between use by measuring the battery voltage and amperage. The performance I have found for most units was not that good. The main reason for reduced performance is not due to the atomizer but canbe blamed on the batteries. This should be the main focus for the manufacturers to increase performance and this should also help with the atomizer lifespan
That looks almost like om my desk. I carry 4 DSE901 batteries and super mini batteries and 3 chargers with be back and forth between home and office and the chargers are almost in constant charge action. Better batteries and a charger where you can screw up to 4 batteries in would be great.
