    Ive never seen sailor gels in any store...and gelwaves are supposedly similar to sailor gels but they can come in different colors such as orange etc. However, from what i hear gelwaves are quite expensive.

    relating to sailor style grips and not canada (hope that's not too far off topic), someone (it may have been you k4s) once mentioned that pilot hi-tec V3s have similar grips to sailor innovations. has anyone come accross these pens and can confirm this?

    I don't think you guys live in British Columbia,Vancouver. But once I've heard from a guy in UCPSB long back ago that you can get them in a Japanese store called "Daiso" Not sure if they sell it there but here's the site-> http://www.daisocanada.com/index.html" target="_blank">http://www.daisocanada.com/index.html everything in there is $2 CAD. I've never been there, but I will in the holiday. They dont show their products though dry.gif .If they have Sailors I'll tell you guys. biggrin.gif

    Gel waves are available in grey, red, blue, green and purple and yes, they are very expensive (2.70€ = 3.8 USD).

    Daiso is a Japanese 100 yen store. There are only a few in North America, though. San Francisco and Toronto, I believe.

    Daiso in my area. except it's in a mall and thus it's tiny. Couldn't find anything special...but maybe I wasn't looking hard enough

    The light sailor gels in Aberdeen are at the very top of the stand, not where the blue, red, and gray ones are

    Uhh, no. There are Daiso's in the USA, too. Also, the reason you can find Namae pens there is because they are made by Daiso. tongue.gif

    ahha yeah I agree but some of them are still learning. my friends started spinning 5 months ago and they're alright they can do all the fundies and some advance. Im still teaching them more advance things and mapping, linkage etc. I might organize a little gathering next summer or spring break. What do you guys think??

    PS: Sorry for going off topic tongue.gif

    I believe I can get them here in Toronto... I think i can also get cartoon comssas too. But I have to go to this asian mall that's pretty far haha. P-mall xD (Pacific Mall) They have all sorts of oriental things. I think Toast bought cartoon comssas there before... and I'm pretty sure something in relation to sailor gels would be there too... I might go there sometime... but that place is pretty fob lol.
