HI...
This post is JUST FOR COMPARING & CONTRASTiNG MODS
why not start out with commsas and Dr.KTs?
add on more mods to the list of comparings as time goes on
u can also post recommendations for what style and preference each mod should be spun for -

comssas are light.
Dr. KTs are heavy. -

Err yea it is? You take 2 Sign pens and take a cap from one and put it on the other... -
Date: Mon, Jan 12 2009 04:15:22

if u put another cap there then its a mod
but a comssa is just a pen -

comssa mod
pros:Light, nice for beginners.
cons:not enough momentum for some tricks until you get some hgg tips on there, comssas not easily found in america
Dr. KT
pros:good momentum, easy to do tricks with
cons:heavy, not good for begininers. it will mess with your ability to spin lighter mods later,expensive, parts are in japan and a bit hard to find in america
Metallic comssa mod
pros:better momentum then comssa, not too heavy but not too light
cons: comssa are rare in america, HGGs are also rare sort of -

What the... the Comssa is made up of 2 Dong-A computer sign pens, since when did we start calling the actual pens a Comssa? -

How about dr. CTs? -

A Dr. CT is basically the same as a Dr. KT
As instead of A KeiTyo body, you use a Color Twin body. -

RSVP MX is a medium weighted pen. Comssa Metallic is a medium Weighted Pen. BICs are light. Unmodded Comssas are light. Dr. KTs are heavy.
There's not much to say about the mods. Mods are...mods. They're meant to be modified to your liking -- be it heavy/short/long/light. Do what you want with them. -

Date: Tue, Jan 13 2009 11:10:31
Original RSVP MX is back heavy and unbalanced.
Waterfall mod is slightly longer than Dr. KT, weighs between metallic comssa and Dr. KT, and has a barrel thinner than Dr. KT. It's nice to use. -

How many times must we go over this? There are no absolute pros and cons for a mod.
Its all preference.
Example:
Person A - that mod is too expensive.
Me - Fuck you, ya cunt! I'm rich! Nothing is expensive for me! -
Date: Fri, Jan 16 2009 22:06:29
Well... some people like planning b4 buying too...
say you were a lumberjack... would you cut trees with a crafting knife or a chainsaw? -

a mod being too expensive is a con no matter if ur rich or poor... it all depends how much it affects you... -

either way.. here's my two cents.
comSSa Metallic-
pros- mediumweight, very balanced, excellent for tricks, can write (stuff an RSVP inktube into the comSSa body)
cons- rare parts in USA, uses 2
HGG tips.
F1R3fly G3 mod
pros- very heavy, good momentum, lots of spinning space. easily modifies from original version to be heavier, lighter. put many inserts in there, customizible
cons- ~ hard to make (hate cutting Dr. Grips), many parts, hard to get in US, cannot write (original version only)
Ayatori Mod
Pros- easy to mod, can cut the grip, also can put like 3 inserts- easily customizable. pretty heavy, OK momentum
cons- hard to get a really neat and cool grip cut. thin barrel, little spinning space (compared to other pens that I have). hard to get to the writing tip( have to take off the hyper jell grip in order to)
MP FX
Pros- kinda easy to mod, most parts (exc. comSSa barrel and HGG tip) easily obtainable in US, OK momentum, little heavier than mediumweight. mechanical pencil, enough said
cons- the tip of the pentel sharp falling on the concrete and rendering the MP part useless. lead breaks easily if you are spinning while lead is coming out of the tip (if dropped). outserts are kinda... I don't get them
*off topic: how DO you get an outsert on, and how do you cover it (to make it smooth) -

Date: Sat, Jan 17 2009 07:13:08
aries, your pros and cons are too biased
-
Date: Sat, Jan 17 2009 15:14:18
Since pros and cons in general are always biased, why make this thread in the first place?
Many new people here are starting to spin Dr. Kt's and Buster Cyl's.
From me, cons for those pens would be that they are too heavy and they'll break your fingers.
However, a lot of people say that they spin will because they are heavy.
POINT: Your pro might be someone else's con and vice-versa.

Date: Thu, Jan 22 2009 02:10:05
...THIS LIST needs more mods to compare... KEEEP ADDING TO THE POST PPL!!!
lets try some that's more popular throughout and the less common in the world.
-
Date: Thu, Jan 22 2009 02:16:09
pros and cons for pens will always be different, even for the same pen because people have different prefrences and different styles, comforts, etc...
-
Date: Thu, Jan 22 2009 11:22:40
less common pens?
um.. waterfall mod.. idk lol..
Well i guess when imatt releases his mod reviews this thread may not be needed anymore unless he releases them here. -

-
Date: Thu, Jan 29 2009 17:20:21

I don't think Mods have cons, IF They're COP/COG or atleast nearly COP/COG. Unlike the RSVP MX (original) which is very hard to spin with (for me) since it barely has momentum and its back heavy.

You guys don't get it, Loanshark was proving a point. A mod's pro's and con's are completely in the eye of the beholder. Basically you have to spin them to actually know what you like. There is no way to tell what pen should be used for what, let's take an easy one for example, like doing a thumbspin, most people, I'd bet 8/10, would probably suggest using a Grip Aviare right? Well look at sunrise he did a thumbspin 15.5 with a pencil, this just proves that in something like penspinning, mods have no limits on what can be done with them.
