    So here's my latest mod compared to the ComsSa:



    It's a little bit heavier than the ComsSa. The momentum is better.
    The barrel is thinner, and it's a little bit longer.
    I like it better than the ComsSa.

    It's made by 2 pcs Pentel Gel Roller For Fabric (hence the name Gel Roller for Fabrix X)

    Tut:

    Cut off both clips, grind/sand down so that the caps are round and nice.
    Fill the light end (both cap and pen) with heat-glue. (be careful to get the COG>COP)
    Put on any 2 grips on both ends.

    The momentum and the COG has been altered (heat-glue). I wouldn't say that it's just a double-capped pen with grips.

    Actually, It's a double capped pen with grips.

    OH, and you made the COP=COG =/

    Wow

    I don't feel like arguing with you. smile.gif

    The pen as it is originally is way too light + all the weight is at one end of it.
    After modding, the attributes of it is much better than that of a ComsSa. Isn't that what matters?

    I didn't intend to alter the LOOKS of it too much, but if one should want that, an outsert would be easy to make.

    Reply as you wish, if you don't like it you don't like it. smile.gif

    That's not really my point.

    My point is, why do everybody post a " New Mod " when it's simply a double capped pen.

    I personally can't understand this, I feel like on FPSB aha

    Okay. Thanks.
    I get your point now smile.gif
    Yeah. The BICtory, the ComsSa etc are pretty much made the same way.
    I agree on your POV.

    Felt like posting this one cuz of how it performs during spinning.
    If it feels better than the well-known comssa I think its worth posting.

    who cares if its not very original, it uses uncommon pens, which is good for ppl who can only get those pens.

    smile.gif thanks.

    I didn't really care about the looks while modding, but the performance.
    (as long as it didn't turn out to be ugly of course).

    nice find? very simple no need for pictures. Could of used less words and enough about the argument about comssas and bictories.....theyre all different and it all depends on how u mod them....

    wouldn't hot glue kind of bend the cap??

    @WhiteFang; no, it doesn't. The glue gets cold pretty fast.
    That's why you have to be careful and add glue to the right places quickly.

    @Aries; I completely agree. happy.gif rolleyes.gif
