    The papermate aspire has a VERY heavy tip. I used my friends and i was wondering what the wieght diff is to it and the dr.grip tip. either way, i'm buying about 4 tommorow!

    thanks!
    jamie

    EDIT:

    Ok!
    these tips are crazy heavy and pretty big
    I'll need some one with a KT or Dr.G tips to confirm the similarities

    1st:
    the tip is 1.7cm long
    and the Pencil its self is roughly 14.2cm long

    2nd:
    The circumference of the outside is the exact same as the end of a sharpie ultra fine point cap (Dr.St)
    The circumference of the inside is a tight fit on a bic cap, or kinda on an MX (minus the HGG tip)

    4th:
    The Clicker part of the pencil is VERY unique and VERY easy to take out (and i guess mod)

    Price? I mean if it's too expensive i can also buy Dr.Grips and spin them or use the grip :-P

    Online they are listed at about $3usd each. Not bad i guess. Aspire tips lack the ring near the base which helps the grip to securely hold the tip but it shouldnt pose a problem

    Nice find, this would be great for the Dr.ST since the tips arent held on by grips.

    it is more nextage/airfit than dr.grip

    This tip is a good substitute but isnt exactly a dr. grip tip. A dr. grip tip has another sharper point after which you could file or cut off to make it look like the papermate aspire tip. The dr. grip tip can puncture your palm so I would use the papermate aspire rather than a dr.grip tip
