Sorry if I've offended you schismz, but I don't think you read the thread carefully, and understood my point.
Name of thread, and the mod I was "waxing rhapsodic"about:

What I said they are trying to sell you by not including usb:

Oh hey, you haven't offended me at all, I did not carefully read each message, but get the overall idea: you guys want a USB port on Dicodes. Their box mods have actually had that charger port plate on the bottom roughly 2 years before their eventually, perpetually-delayed, coming real soon now, charger, finally got released. I can't really say that I like the charger that much, you need to swap plates between the 6, Dani Box, and now Dani Box mini, and I actually got two of 'em so I wouldn't have to bother changing the plates, 'cept now I'd need 3 for the mini ... at the end of the day I just lost interest because I don't ever use their chargers, they just collect dust.
I don't know what threads your message references, both your links above just return error pages/page doesn't exist. I was just pointing out that the Dicodes 6 you had in your msg, is the opposite of a compact, lightweight mod. It's more like a big lead weight
It'd be nice if they had a usable USB port, I too spend a lot of time in airports with carryons and phones, laptops, iPads, Everything Else which I can plug into a USB charger, so it'd be handy ... I just doubt they're ever gonna do it.
I stopped smoking back in the stone ages of 2009 with Super T and GG mechs, then kinda transitioned to ProVari, and ended up at Dicodes about a year and a half before ProVape shut down. Dicodes is very similar to a much better, higher-end ProVari; they're also similar in their overall attitude, which amounts to, "whatever the industry is doing <shrug> this is what we're doing, we're the best at TC our chipset beats the DNA, there are no user-installable firmware updates ... because it works correctly. If it didn't work correctly we wouldn't ship it. The mods are perfect, bulletproof, and last roughly forever. You're welcome."
Dicodes is actually a company that builds embedded devices primarily for the medical market,
dicodes GmbH in Bottrop – Elektronikhersteller und Entwickler their entire e-cig line is more of a hobby and only exists because one of their founders started vaping, looked at what was available, and went like, "we can do this much better" so, then they did.
Their market is obviously very limited to people who don't mind paying a lot of money -- relatively speaking -- for a high end mod. I can look at the serial #'s on my units and get a back of hand calculation that they sell 1000s, or at best 10s of thousands of units total. I don't get the impression they care too much about their e-cig division so long as it breaks even.
Having said all that I have over 100 mods at this point -- they accumulate ;-) -- and around 25 are ProVaris (mostly new and in storage, not in actual rotation anymore), and 30+ Dicodes (5 or 6 in use, the rest were purchased back during the 2016 Vapocalypse the world is ending again, stocking up cycle).
IDK, all of this is a long way of saying I'm eating lunch and reading the forum on an iPad
The total summary could be <shrug> if lack of USB port is deal-breaker, then, don't buy one, maybe they'll come out with a special armor-plated uber-USB port in another 3 years or something. I personally haven't found it to be a big deal since I never charge anything off it, 'cept for the Radius when I used to use it, because it was such a pain to get the bottom plate off the thing.
Just my opinions, experiences, and thoughts on Dicodes.
