Only way to get what you ask is to use a seperate charger for each cell. Any charger on the market charges the entire pack of cells in series. Only way to equalize them is to put a load on the higher cells and bleed off some juice. If you had a seperate charge curcuit for each cell the balancer would not be needed, as each cell would go thru the cc/cv cycle on its own terms, so to speak.
