Is there really as much Mod snobbery in the vaping community as this article seems to suggests? While the only thing that remains of my original Ego is the charger. I replaced the battery with a Spinner. The Vision 2 clearamizer with the Phoenix BCC. And added a swivel tip. And while I consider myself a hacker I am very much of the KISS school of thought.

I wouldn't call it "snobbery". For many, the eGo style batteries are the perfect entry for vaping. Many of us realize that while those batteries are OK, there's much better stuff out there that do a better job. I was using eGo-C Twists (1000mAh) for a month before I got disgusted with swapping them out 3 times a day and got a Vamo.

That is perhaps the difference. I am not a heavy vaper. A charged 1300mAh Spinner and 1-2 ml of juice will last me a week.

Wow, that would put you in the lower 1% of vapers...

Not a heavy vaper is a vast understatement.
You are a super-duper ultra-light vaper.

Not that there is anything wrong with that.
:)

I use about 1ml per day at most, and I am a very, very light vaper at this point.

1000mah burning out 3 times a day? Wow that's a lot of vaping!

As much as I appreciate the higher end mods, and as much as I have to keep charging my Twists (not 3 times a day tho), I refuse to go bigger. A 1000 mah Twist is the best "large" battery size for me. Maybe one day I'll splurge on something larger for at home use, but for now I'm quite content.

I still love the "subculture", think it's amazing and the above article is bang on.
