My update is this: I still love this product. I can't help myself.
I believe the developer of this product has the best of intentions in mind, both in creating these products, and for his end users nd customers.
Despite my somewhat *uneven* encounter with CS I guess it's one of those things and depends on the day and who you get.
Despite that there was some disagreement between myself and CS as to the timeline returning some new-in-package batteries, is has been solved, and since I not only like the Vmod itself, but also the Shifu hybrid atty and the Silos, I will remain loyal to the products.......because, for me, it all *works*.......and navigate around and through some of the CS stuff.
I have some 650mAH ego batts for backup. So I guess I'm all set for now.
It is interesting to read accounts form vaporers on ECF, some have thrown over their bottom feeders for eGo Twists, and yet I have done the opposite. Just goes to prove, there is a lid for every pot and we are all just pots looking for the best fitting lid---whether it be juice or hardware. What is the fun and educational part of being on ECF, is that there is so much to be learned by reading about the experiences of others, and the depth and ingenuity with which everyone shares so freely and deeply with one another.
Sometimes you just fall in love with rig and setup that works for you, and for good or bad, that is what happened to me with the Vmod products. It's sort of like good boyfriends, bad boyfriends, the story isn't written in one day. ROTFL
I wish that I could like this more than once!
you Kat! 
Got's me thinking as well though
