I'm surprised Dicodes doesn't have a USB port for upgrades.
I have this sneaking suspicion the contact at the bottom can be used for that. It wouldn't surprise me if we'll see a special cable for this or the charging station has a usb connection only for upgrading. Knowing Dicodes they probably abandoned micro usb because it's relatively fragile.I'm surprised Dicodes doesn't have a USB port for upgrades.
A question for the people who already have one... can you adjust the power directly with the 2 small buttons or do you have to go into the menu every time?
Actually it's DEE-CODE-ESSso it's pronounced....DIE CODES or DIE CODE ESS? i dunno how to do phonetics, so that's the best i can do.
Not that I can see. Its similar to the Dicodes Dani v2+ and 2380T, you scroll through the menus horizontally until you reach your desired option, you then wait for it to highlight and then input your selection. The addition of the up/down buttons means they have got rid of duplications, before power down and power up were two separate options, now there is just one controlled by the up/down.So it's not like the dna chips where the buttons directly change the power.

If you hold the plus or minus button, it directly changes the last value - it remembers your last menu position (Power or Temp) until it goes into deepsleep (after that, Power is the default position).A question for the people who already have one... can you adjust the power directly with the 2 small buttons or do you have to go into the menu every time?

Its a very efficient device, you even have the option to set your minimum battery discharge level. There is a boost setting with ten different profiles, there is also something called heater protection mode which kind of controls temperature with Kanthal.How is the battery efficiency compared to the DNA 40 or the SX350 class of chips? And does anyone know if it has a preheat or "hotshot" function like the DNA200 or the Provari Radius?
This surprises me now that upgradeable firmware is becoming the standard, especially for a mod that's normally going to cost €250. I hope they have it perfected to the point that upgrades are pointless.1) I already talked with dicodes about the docking station, it's for charging only.

2) 199€ is only the introductory price for both mods, the normal pricing (~around mid January) will be €249,50.

I ordered mine from the PB-Dampfer German site on the 29th but not had the shipped notification yet ?
Just looked again and there is a note on there that they will be getting stock on the 10th of January !
Also saying on there they will keep the €199 price till 31st January which indicates to me the price may rise at the end
Of January ?
