I can't find it for the life of me....but there is something being sold out there that you can attach to your PV to show the voltage being put out. If you look at the video on Ken's website from the NY vapor meetup, it's shows it being used.

BTW - got notice my LS was shipped today. Please be here Saturday....please Mr. Postman?

yup, I saw that on the video as well.. pretty cool, but I don't think I would want to drag something like that around either... I think an easy fix would be to just mark the dial and the box itself with a sharpie or something... would rather not though, but a quick fix I guess

Well, that's what I kinda meant (even tho I didn't say it)...if you had one, you could measure it yourself and make marks.

There're little dots on the side of the dial so you'll know what voltage you are using after u checked it once.

I've had my Little Sister for several days now and it's still vaping like crazy. I like the higher voltage so I leave it set on the highest mark. The vapor is very very prolific! I like the way I can vape it sideways, makes me look real cool. LOL

I'm impressed with these 10440 parallel batteries. They seem to last a very long time. Like 12 hours or so, if you're rotating it with another ecig. If you're looking for a 6V vape but are afraid of stacked batteries, this is probably the best way to go.

The dial definitely works but unless you can test the voltage, you just guess at what voltage you're vaping, which is okay with me.

You can't get a better vape machine for the money. Because it's plastic, you wouldn't want to accidently sit on it, but hopefully Ken is inspired to make another Little Sister out of stainless steel, you know, one we could sit on accidently. :) That'd be real nice!

I think Ken did a great job with this Little Sister. It's very small, the size of a large BIC lighter, and 6V's in something this small is a record I do believe. I'm very happy I've got it!

P.S. I got it many days before I expected to so for those of you waiting....you may not have to wait as long as you think. :)

hi guys do u guys I just got new 510's to use with my 6v sb but all of the attys have a very bad burt taste, I am using liquid from freedomusa. I am waiting on my LS, I cant wait. do u thinks the little sister will make my attys taste better? I got like 13 different sample bottles from freedomusa, and I heard nothing but good things about this juice, but all I can taste at 6v with my SB right now is a very nasty burn taste. maybe I need to break them in more(attys)? I do know, let me know thank you

6v is too much for regular attys and usually wont last long either trying to use them at that voltage. If you are going to do 6v then use a HV atty 510. something more along the lines of a 4.5 ohm atty.

regular attys can be used at 5v.

I know there are some that use regular attys at 6v but you will get a burnt taste and soon after your atty will die.

Save your attys. No need cleaning them for burnt taste at 6v. it will not help.

Yes, LS should solve all your problems..

I agree - I don't care what the numbers are...I just know that 5V is always just a tiny bit high and 3.7 doesn't quite cut it so 4ish will be perfect...so are you loving it, yoyo?

I EFFING love this thing, i do miss the girth of my prodigy v3 sometimes but when i realize how small this thing is my concerns disappear in a HUGE plume of warm vapor. The battery life is turning out to be very impressive. I've yet to run down a set of batteries to the point where the vapor drops off but I'm easily making it half a day or more before I realize that I have an extra set of batteries and I should switch them out anyways. I will try to be more meticulous about running them all the way down in the future though. IMO I would never buy the big brother, it just looks too awkward for me, and with the battery life i'm getting (which is the only advantageous point for the big brother) I see no reason to upgrade

I agree to a certain degree.. I'm just curious if it was ever brought up or if it's going to be added down the road. For a new vaper like myself I'm still experimenting with flavours etc... so I'd like to know what voltage I'm using (as exact as possible) if I'm going to use another multi-voltage device down the road...

that sounds a little tedious IMO, you would have to record what juice at what voltage, and then you would have to set your voltage with a voltmeter before you vaped that juice on the new device (no devices have a digital readout at the moment). I think benchmarks are sufficient, just take a mental note of where 4.5v is, 5v, 6v etc


Note: If Ken makes a STAINLESS STEEL LITTLE SISTER I WILL BE FIRST IN LINE!!!

Am hoping that between using this and my new Rivas that I received this past Wed., that I can wean completely off the analogs (am down to ~10/day from 40 and dropping). Am still trying to adjust to the liquids as despite drinking larger quantities of water, my mouth, throat, and most notably, tonsils, still dry out too quickly, although way less than when I first started at the end of May.

Met the postman about an hour ago and he handed me my box with my brandy new Little Sister! I carefully unwrapped it and wow, it really is just a tiny bit bigger than a bic lighter in size (I felt it was hard to tell from the pics because different hands are different sizes)! I had ordered 4 batts to go with it and a charger... Stuck 2 batts in the charger for a bit (both lights went green almost immediately, so I confirmed they were probably at least mostly charged when new). Then I inserted the batts into the unit, screwed in a 510 standard atty with a cart of VT Dulcis 16 mg, and then set the dial to the lowest setting (supposedly ~3.5 V). There was an instruction sheet in with the unit that indicated how the settings had been tested (1/2 V per notch with variations to be expected for each unit).

Vaped 10 hits at that lowest setting and found that it did produce the same sort of warm vaper as my Riva. This at that setting, and the Riva definitely give a different mouth sensation than the standard 510 batts. Am now experimenting with increasing notch by notch. ~ 4.5 V was good. Now at theoretical 5 V and wow! Vaporama!!!! :thumbs:

Am afraid to go higher but I'll play around with it. LOL Seems most folks like it in this range. I can see where I'll now be using more juice as others have noted.

THANK YOU KEN (AND HIS HELPERS)!!!!! The 2 week wait was WELL worth it!! :D

Got my Little Sister today. Have to say I'm very pleased so far. Being able to easily vary the voltage makes a nice difference when changing juices. I go high when I'm toking on some tobacco, and lower when it's a lighter fruit.

Seems regardless of the setting this thing hits like Albert Pujols. It's everything I hoped it would be. Small and compact and fits in your hand just right.

Someone sent me some carto's with BWB 555 to try. On my Riva they just didn't work all that well, with the LS at about 9 o'clock on the dial, they are great.

At $65, this is definitely a thumbs up. If you want to try a variable voltage device, this should be it. Good work, Ken.

doots yeap you were right, the HV510's at 6v are pretty good. Now I can taste the flavors. no more burnt taste:) what voltage is that though, just curious? the juices taste pretty good even with my tornado with a LR510atty. I cant imagine how they would taste when I am able to change voltages with the LS:)

I use a 4.5 ohm 510 for 6.4-7+v and works great. At 6 is ok too but I use 2-3.7v batts when I do HV..

I love the LS. It is great to dial in the volts you want.

Hey Bah, Glad you got LS today. They are great and pocket friendly for sure! Enjoy!
