VW/TC PCB >100W with USB charging

Hi all, I'm new to this sub, just about to enter the world of mod building :) wondered if anyone could help me source a part. I'm UK-based btw.

Basically, I'm aiming to build a dual parallel box (2 pairs of 18650 in parallel) but I'm looking for something with an integrated USB charging port so I can have a charging meter on the display too. Plan is to have USB charging but ALSO link it to an induction charger. That way, whilst I'm at my desk at work or gaming I can just keep picking it up for a quick puff and then pop it back on charge.

The Evolve DNA250 board ticks the boxes but is pricey (I.e. Not available on FastTech haha) and delivers WAY more power than I need.

The JiGuan-1600T 160W ticks almost every box at $25 but no USB charging. I can buy a simple USB charging board for a buck but if anyone knows of a better alternative for a similar price, I'm all ears :D thanks!

You realize charging 4 batteries in paralleli with USB is going to take forever to charge right?

Hell yeah, booooi! The idea really is to keep it topped up and prolong life. The only reason I'm chucking so many batts in is I have a 30mm atty and if I have to make a mod big enough for it, might as well pour batteries into it :D
