I remember that for the past six years, I've checked at least once each year for mods that use USB-C. A couple years back, one came out (something something CNC edition), but aside from that single model, Type-C was unheard of in mods.

Now I've looked at the top six mods according to Vape360 and they all have Type-C.

When did that change?

I dunno, but it’s about time. Micro-USB sucks, IMO.

Yup. I believe that in Europe that all new cell phones have to be USB-C per law. It's only logical, everything else blows. It is a lot stronger connection and prevents a ton of trashed cables in landfills in well.

USB-C receptacles loosen over time.
It's a very poor mechanical design.

Every type of charging port wears out/loosens over time. If you’re saying that USB-C ports wear out faster than Micro-USB or others, I’d like to see a source for that.

Not arguing one way, or the other, but you can Google the ‘standards,’ which will have interesting info. I think that when I last looked, Micro and Mini were rated up to 10,000 insertions and one would presume that the female sockets would be the same?

Nothing burger unless you depend on fidget spinners to get you through the day?
