    Okay well when i first started pen spinning i used pen mods like the Rsvp v1, MX, etc and stuff but then one day i decided to make a Bic Grip VOrtex http://s15.invisionfree.com/UCPSB/index.php?showtopic=4073

    and i loved it.

    Sadly one day in school i said something that got this kid all angry and he then snapped and bent the bic barrels. Luckily he left me the grips i used. (profile and G2) So instead of making another Bic Grip Vortex i'm here asking you guys for other pens that are similar to the Bic Grip Vortex.

    Also arent all pen mods that are horizontally similar (is that a real term? cause i don't know how else to call those type of pens) basically the same? Like Comssa, Ballsign mods, etc. They are all symetrical. Balanced in the center with grips at the end. They just have different sizes. I'm sorry if they're not similar (i'm still a noob at pen mod knowledge) and don't, please, to the kindness of me be like "FOOL comssa is nothing like Bic Grip Vortex! its beautiful on its own terms. how dare you offend it!"

    like i said before i'm sorry if i shouldn't have compared them. But yeah, so can someone tell me pens that are similar to the Bic Grip VOrtex that i would like?

    thanks in advance.

    Holy shit

    A bic grip vortex is HUGE

    I think you should move on to a normal BICtory, add some signo tips =)

    FOOL! Comssa is nothing like Bic Grip Vortex! its beautiful on its own terms. How dare you offend it! angryfire.gif


    And now to my real post.. rolleyes.gif

    Even though several mods are symmetrical, they spin totally different. The weight is distrubuted differently, the barrel has a different circumference, different texture, the caps are different big which would effect the spinning, grips for infinities and the like, etc. Even if you like say a comssa, you might hate a ballsign, or vice versa.

    I've never spun Big Grip VX, so I wouldn't know what other pens could suit you. A Metallic ComSsa, which is a dubbelcapped Dong-a ComSsa pen with Anyball/Profile grips and HGG tips is always awesome though, you should try that.

    yep, as far as I know there aren't even two mods which have similar spinning attributes. (MX and MMX but that's +- the same pen...)

    if you don't want to trade I would also suggest a BICtory. I guess it spins better than a BIC VX

    Actually, Bic Grip VX's are smaller than a Signo-tipped BicTory.

    I second that. You can also cut the caps shorter and use grips to hold on signo tips

    Cutting the caps by about 1/2 should work out fine.
