Yes I know who they are and what they are about. But they are not popular. That should tell you something.
Dicodes is like provape. A lot of people think provape has a better vape. Myself included.
Than many others. I bought a second hand p3 and was given a radius. I have several high end mods that do temp control. Maine cheapies too. The provape stuff gives me a better vape with kanthal than anything else. I was extremely resistant to that idea. I figured so long as a device didn't stutter out power in PWM you could more or less just adjust mods to act the same. Bt that isn't the case.
Plus provape has amazing customer support. And it's USA made so pure supporting our economy bit Chinese economy. And they put a ton into advocacy.
I'm not a provape zealot. I was for a couple years very dismissive of their products doing anything substantially better than cheap mods let alone high end Asian mods. But with fifteen mods sitting here the two most used are the p3 and radius. The next most used is the wae I with gem (DNA 30). I found power delivery to be better across all three than the DNA 200 mods I tried.
Dicodes has a similar customer base. But they offer temperature control. If you haven't given a shot to people like dicodes or provape and are , as I was for ages, dismissive that the price wasn't worth it - I'd say find one second hand to try and see.
I'm shocked other vendors have not come up with a boost mode that works as well as the provape setup which is simply five watts at quarter second intervals from 1/4 to 5/4.
Also I find my provape to be quite durable.
So for me knowing dicodes are the same kind of vendor (often called the provari of Europe) and that they offer temp control. I'd love to get one. I just don't have $250 for a mod right now.
While provari have less functions what they do Compared to other mods for me hasn't been surpassed. That's the sentiment I get about dicodes from their customers.
To be clear I'm not saying there are no other mods that are good. Nor am I saying everyone should buy provape only. I do think with pending vapepocalypse that buying these kind of well made durable mods that will last is now more of a priority than trying the latest and greatest new tech hammered out by companies who don't figure into our economy in a positive way or give back to vapers through advocacy.
I'd like to know what evolv do for advocacy. I'd have to think they're involved but I do know they're just a very small division of another company that has nothing to do with Vaping (right?). Surely they're providing funds for advocacy ? I guess in that way if you buy an Asian mod with evolv chip you're supporting a us company. To be fair. I'm trying another new gen DNA chip after poor DNA 200 experiences. I'm excited to see how far it's come.
Anyway am sorry to derail I just wanted to offer an opinion on dicodes and parallel it to my provape experience. I still haven't bought a new provari product but I'll probably buy one in the next few months. They've earned my support with their actions. And their products are very very good at the one thing they do. Non temp control vaping.
