So, I'm trying to get a little more activity up in hurr. What mods have you been able to pull off with the stuff nearby? What do you like?
Sorta MX (just use whatever grip, Anyball, RSVP 1.5, etc etc)
RSVG2 (RSVP + G2)
Any-X (RSVP + Profile)
Zebra Telescopic (Two ZT)
RG2T (I have 3... I really like this mod. It's just RSVP + G2)
M-103 X
207 RSVP (207 + RSVP... duh)
Bictory
What else can be had? and where? -

Not much dude, lol.
Basically, your only option is to buy off of PenWish or trade. I'll bring a few foreign pens to the next gathering to get you started.

I've made a Bictory and ZT mod. Very few mods have all the parts attainable in our area. I'm currently making a Buster CYL, though.
I'm sort of frustrated actually. I'm still searching for my main pen to use. I want a pen with the ends of a Compirat and the length and weight of a Grip Avaire.
I don't like the grip in the middle, but I like the barrel and how it's not too frictiony or slippery. Do you guys have any suggestions for a mod that I would like?
Personally, I don't really like one-sided mods. The only one-sided mod I've made is an RSVP MX, which I really didn't like all that much.
What kind of imported pens can be found at Kinokuniya and Maido? I always hear people talking about these places, but I'm not sure what sort of things they have that make them so great. -

Only problem is that the ComSSa needed is kind of hard to find around here. :/
But yeah, Airfits and Supertips are quite easy to find here. Supertips, nearly any Target/Longs Drugs/etc. has them.
Airfits can be found at the Kinokuniya in San Francisco(the huge one) or at a store called Hilltop Gifts(located in Cupertino) or Maido(not 100% sure on this one). -

Thanks, nate! Is there a reason that there's such a heavy leaning towards foreign mods? Are they that much better? The only thing I dislike about the RG2T is the small bridge in the middle between the diff barrels, and that's even better than a grip Avaire or a middle gripped ZT.
What are airfits and supertips used in?
Anyway, this is the RG2T... I'm a big fan.

You can make about every Japanese mod with parts from around here.

Really? Kindly explain where to find Needlepoints, Metallic Gels, Japanese Dr. Grips, M&Ms, Plastic G3s that aren't overpriced, CTs, and HGGs.
There may be a lot of pens that can be found here, but not so many as most think. >.< -

I think it's worth noting that a new Daiso opened up in Cupertino right next to Yogurtland. I spotted some pentels, sailor gel, and weisheits.
It'd be great to a few of these mods brought to the next gathering. I wnna see them.

I think that we should start an official thread of places to get foreign pens in our area. We could sticky it and update it. This way I know about things like this.
Lol. I'm at yogurtland all the time. C: love it love it love it. -

How often do you guys buy/build pens? How many pens do you actually have at the moment?

Personally, I would be fine with just 2 myself, but I haven't found 2 really good mods. I don't like my commsa it's too small. I haven't tried a dami mod, though. I'll check it out. -

What happened to the recycled paper mod? D:

Way, way too many. I have a disproportionate amount of mods for my skill level. Here's all of them, taken on my professional quality Dorm Lamp, Trash Can, and Printer Paper photo studio setup.
