I have found that I only use my Ego and Hello 016's now with LR attys and dripping while sitting at the desk but Aceyboogie ruined that for me by selling me a Tougher Mr. Puffer MP1… LOL :toast:

I received mine today......and it's AWESOME!!!

I'm not sure I'll ever be able to enjoy fixed voltage again. I think I'll be picking up a coupla' more of the LS and a Big Brother when it's available. I'm so impressed with the quality! Ken is such a wonderful, helpful guy, too.

6 out of 5 stars for Box Mods!

Just a little follow up for my initial review.

After 2 weeks I am still quite happy with the Little Sister mod. I have used it with 510 atomizers and cartomizers as well as Kr8 cartomizers w/adapter I picked up at Madvapes for $2.95 each performs perfectly.

I will admit I usually keep my voltage around 5-5.5 but I have a couple of juices that really taste better at lower temps so its really nice to be able to screw it down a little for those.

I love the LS! but there are two things I don't like so here they are.

I do not like the 10440 batteries. They don't seem to charge well or evenly on my trustfire charger. If you happen to have a better charger then my dual slot spring loaded POS, you may not have any problems at all with the batts.

The other thing is the case. I love the way it looks. It is the perfect size, but since its using batts I need to change about twice a day, I am really worried that the case will not hold up well to the constant opening and closing. I haver already got a couple of thumb nail indentions in the slot from prying.

The general performance of the Little Sister and the budget friendly price really makes the little problems not worth mentioning If you want Variable Voltage in a slick little package then this is the mod for you.

I have that same POS charger and I'm not liking it either. The batteries charge quick but don't seem to do it evenly. Sometimes I get them seated perfect and both lights go red, other times they switch, one red one green, back and forth. UGH! Driving me nuts.

If you're talking about the TR-001 that's what I've been using and it works fine for me.

Re. the batteries, is it just the charger you're not happy with or is it the batteries too?

An easy way to open the case is to pry it open using both slots with both thumbs. I've not had any problems doing it that way.

I've had a few minor problems with the charger too (Trustfire). It seems the 10440's tend to slip and disconnect at the positive end. Usually only 1 at a time, tho, so I've found that the best way to load the batteries is to push the + end all the way down and centered. The 10440's don't last very long either IMO, but they ARE light as a feather!

With the LR atty they DO last longer though since I'm hitting it less frequently and for a shorter duration. :)

I'm so happy :) let me see if I can find a gold star for you. /sarcasm

No problems getting it open, just worried that after a while its going to wear out.

Don't like the Batts cause their too small for an all day or even most of the day charge. Don't like the charger because mine is pretty hit or miss as far as if it charges correctly.

About the case - I understand what you mean now. It sounds like your case might be a little tighter than mine since I'm not having any problems opening mine. Mine pops open as soon as I put my thumb nails in each slot.

I agree about the batts. I work from home, and as such, I vape a lot! I don't like to change batts every couple of hours, but I'm putting up with it since I like the LS so much. After the Big Brother is available, I'll probably order one since the batts will last longer.

Not here.
I have this same charger and find the 10440 batteries simply don't fit very well. If I get the little nubs hitting the metal part of the batteries it works fine. :glare:

I really don't know why the company that makes these say, specifically, they work with this size battery because, really, they don't. :grr:

Chargers are inexpensive, though, so I think I'll get another one that suits these wee batts. The LS is worth it!

I also researched before I ordered...but I already had a charger....but I am not liking it for the smaller battys...as for the juice feeder...wetbox and Ali'i works for me.. :)

Those units require battery changes to change the voltage. The ultimate unit would be variable voltage by a adjustable dial (little sister), with a juice feeder.
