Only thing is I see these batteries can only do a few hits worth, and then have to be charged for 8 hours.
Wow. Next we'll be hearing somone say you only get one hit per bat.
A charged battery is good for way more than a few hits, and if the charger currently shipped with the LB takes 8 hrs. (I doubt it), there are many affordable chargers that'll do the job in 1-4 hours.

I don't care for the LB, I have one and it combusts the weed as often as it vapes it -- turns black.
It's you that's overcooking, not the LB. It does require attention, since the longer you have the battery connected, the hotter it gets. I've overcooked with it a few times, but never blackened or combusted.
the Iolite is a better product in my opinion
Better in some ways, worse in others. Can't burn your herb, obviously, but also can't deliver the higher temp vapor, if that's what you're after. The LB is a much simpler design-more reliable by far, and with a better warranty. It's also a much better choice if you need silent stealth, since the iolite's hissing is quite audible in a quiet environment. The iolite is the obvious winner for ease of use, due to the fixed temp.
You have to load it with butane before each use sometimes you can get a second or third use out of it but better to load it.
Not enough qualification for that to be a good statement. How long is a "use"? How many people are using? A full load of butane is good for about 90 minutes or so. I can do quite a few bowls before needing to refill. Sometimes a "use" for me is a rather small bowl, and I don't use it on a daily basis, so I've sometimes gone weeks before needing to refill. Now if you've got some air in the butane tank, you're not getting a full refill, and that can be misleading.
Iolite takes some practice, you have to take very light hits etc.
Practice for the iolite? Maybe if you're new to direct draw. I didn't experience a learning curve at all. Very light hits are only necessary for back to back hits (passing it around). It works fine for me wtih normal, medium size hits. Of course it's hard to compare hits over the internet unless you're trading videos, but I find light hits are more appropriate for the LB than the iolite.

All it's pros aside, it's probably the lightest hitting vape on the market... can't think of anything that produces less vapor.
For me, that's also a pro. I like having a vape that can produce micro hits, if you will. And my first vape, the BC Vaporizer, produced less vapor than the LB, and it's still around, along with many clones.
