On the double-charger, I slide each metal (springed) battery platform (can't think of a better name...lol) down most of the way to leave alot of room to position the batts so they are completely lined up, centered, and not askew/crooked at the top within their slots. Then I slowly (and manually) move each metal platform up to the batt bottom (-) so it gently touches and finally locks it into position. Most times it hits it right on target where the n**ple (self-censor...lol) end (+) of the battery is in the correct spot at the top, sortof under the bump there.

It's so easy for the batts to slide around in there, especially at the top, causing it to miss where it needs to be to get a charge (and the light never turns to red). Part of the problem may be because this type of charger does multiple battery types. Am guessing some pretty thick batteries could also go in there based on how big the slots are.

Mine arrived a few days ago. Aleady I love it. This is a really well thought out device. Small, light and easy to use. The size is perfect and one's thumb naturally rests on the button. I rally like how the voltage adjustment is so easy to use and the marks help a lot.
I also have a Joker AV but this is now the one I carry with me.
And... no doubt Ken is a grand guy. Fast shipping and a great communicator.

Another little follow up.

After 35 days my LS died. seems the switch was the issue. I sent it back and 8 days later It was back in my hands good as new. I really appreciate Kens prompt service and communication.

I have a LS roughly the same age and my switch seems to have gone out as well. I spoke to ken who has offered to repair it free of charge and has said the issue seems to be caused by juice getting into the switch and that the newer little sisters will use a different switch to hopefully alleviate the problem.

I ordered a 2nd one.

The switch on mine finally gave out as well, and Ken replaced it free of charge. The button on this one is square instead of round.

Just out of curiousity: How did your switch die? Mine started sticking and within a short time it just stayed down (had to unscrew my carto to break the connection).

Okay you guys....I have the Big Brother and love the darn thing to death. No problems so far. I've had it a couple of weeks. My all day PV while I'm at home. Now you all have me wanting the LS. I'm curious if it is as good as the Big Brother. Anyone have both that could tell me?

I have both and the main differences between the 2 are the length of time that the batteries will last and the ability to hide the LS in your hand a bit better (for stealth vaping) than the BB (but then I expect that this will depend on the size of your hand...lol). I have found that using the LS in the 4 V - 5 V range (with a LR atty - yep, I've been using one on it), I'll get about 4 hours out of it. The BB will go about 6 hrs using the same V range and with the same type of atty. I don't do higher than 5 V on either. With regular attys, they'll go longer. This is with moderate vaping (dripping), with occasional swapping to my Provape. When at work, I've been using my Rivas and vGos.

OK, question. The heatsink? I assume, the metal part insde right below the atty connection, is it supposed to get hot if you vape continuesly for a few minutes? Andddd...what's the damn trick to open the case with ease?! I have to keep getting a paperclip out lmao.

After I figured out how to open this case I don't need a tool anymore. Put your thumbnails in the groove, use your right thumbnail to just hold the case and pull to the left with your left thumbnail. Works every time for me. If you try to pull with both thumbnails you'll rip your thumbnails off. ;)
