You've been around the block. You've charged vapes overnight, in the car, on a train. You know that micro-USB feels flimsy and sometimes needs a wiggle to connect. You've also seen how USB-C just clicks in place.
Here's what matters when you travel a lot:
- Cable overlap: If you already carry USB-C for your phone or tablet, a vape with the same port means one less cable. Micro-USB adds another cable to your bag.
- Charging speed: USB-C can push more power, so you're not stuck waiting an hour for a full charge. Micro-USB is slower, which is annoying if you're between meetings.
- Durability: USB-C ports are sturdier. Micro-USB ports can get loose over time, especially with rough handling in a bag or pocket.
- Availability: USB-C is becoming the universal standard. You can borrow a charger from a friend or find one at a cafe. Micro-USB is still around, but it's fading.
Now, some folks argue micro-USB is fine because it's cheap and the devices are cheaper. True. But if you're on the road a lot, the convenience of USB-C is worth the extra few bucks.
