If you google around a bit, you will find some Excel-sheets or onlinetools where you can calculate string tension dependent on tuning, string thickness and scale length. Try several string thicknesses and you will most likely find out that the tension on your low B is one to two kilograms less than the other strings if you buy a standard set.

In my eyes, that is the reason why this problem occurs so much. I can understand your frustration but before getting mad with carvin, you might want to consider the actual tension your particular string has on your particular guitar. And see if that tension is, no offence, reasonable.
