Hello everybody, I'm Waterfall from FPSB ^^.
I received many PMs asking me how to make this mod, so here is the tutorial for my mod called Waterfall Mod =).
At first, a short story
: On May or June 2008; I asked A13-X to know how to make his white mod. He told me the body (Super Pirat) and the caps (Reynolds 094), but he wasn't able to told me the tips and the grips he uses. I used tips and grips I found at home : 2 signo tips and DR Grip G-spec grips. It was (and still is) the best mod I've ever touched, I used it all the time 
. A few days after, there was a gathering in France, and I decided to go there. Without any exception, everybody was fond of my mod. They called it "Waterfall mod" because I had this mod.... but I told them it wasn't really created by me >_<. The mod became really famous in France in a few time (helped with s777 videos with this mod), and now, every french guy knows it as "Waterfall mod" ^^. Anyway, A13-X's mod is really different than mine.
A few time after, some old french spinners told me this mod was already created by Skatox, ATN and Shagrath. But a few french knew it.
Now you know everything, let's start the tutorial

Tutorial
Spoiler:
Mine:
Mine is really special and unique, that's why I won't trade it ^^.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
This mod is really easy to make, I think you won't have problems ^^.
Q & A {or Troubleshooting}
-----------------------------------
Q = Where can I find Reynolds 094?
A = only in France, sorry =(. trade with some french guys.
Q = When I spin with it, I hear a little noise from the inside of the body, is it normal?
A = it is strange, some bodies make the noise, others doesn't. Anyway, I don't know how to remove the noise =(.
Q = What is better? to cut and empty the body or not?
A = as you want, if you prefer lighter and smaller mods. Anyway, this mod is smaller and lighter than a Buster CYL xD.
Q = What is better? to use G-spec grips or other Dr grip grips?
A = As you want, but you have to know something : the Dr Grip G-spec is really expensive, more than the others I think =/ (around 10€ in France). Also, the grip is really lighter than the others.
Q = Are you the creator of this mod?
A = Please, read the first part of this thread, and think what you want
Bye, I hope you will enjoy this mod =).

WAHHH! I really want this mod, I've been eyeing this for weeks! The only thing I'm missing is the caps, good tutorial!
-
Date: Wed, Mar 11 2009 15:23:55
i have this mod since maybe a half year,i can say it's also the best mod i've ever touched ;-) (and i think i have spinned almost every existing famous mod)
the smooth surface of the white pirat body is one of the reasons for it, also it has the perfect weight (for me) and a lot of momentum with the signo tips and dr.grip grips...easy to mod, perfect to spin. 10/10 points !!!

yeah ^^
I tested several times this mod, it is simply perfect -

the signo tip has the perfect size to enter in the Reynolds 094 caps ^^. You have to push it the maximum you can. That works perfectly ^^. I believe signo tips were made to enter in the Reynolds 094 caps.
this is some photos, I hope you can see something:

I don't understand why you say that, because I don't use any part of the Buster CYL ^^'
In this case, White CS, Pirat KS, Twim's LMB and all white mods are also a lighter variation of Buster Cyl
-
Date: Sat, Mar 14 2009 23:15:07
it looks like a buster cyl even though you didnt use any of the parts

You only have to remove the ink tube if you cut the body in order to get it smaller ^^.
I know that's hard, but it isn't impossible

yes =/, reynolds 094 doesn't look like another cap I know =(
They are longer and bigger than com.ssa caps =/ -

what is the length of a 094 cap?

4,5 cm
-
Date: Sat, Mar 28 2009 04:17:53QUOTE (Waterfall @ Mar 27 2009, 12:35 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>4,5 cm
THANK YOU!
this really helps because namae caps are only 1/2 cm shorter and the signo tips fit perfectly on them as well as the 094's
so if anyone is looking for a cap sub those are the closest you'll get. -
Date: Sun, Apr 19 2009 17:34:04
OMG.
This is the fucking greatest mod i've ever touched. Its so perfect. The smooth surface... The momentum, wich is not too much and not too low... The Grips... The look...
I think since I've spun this I'll never be a penspinner again without it. I'm so glad that i'll own it soon:D:D:D
Is there any advice on emptying the Pirate Body? The white part is easy, but the ink tube kills me every time.
€: Nvm. Found a Metal stick wich perfectly fits in the barrel -
Date: Tue, Apr 21 2009 19:17:55
ok so whats the best way to make the barrel empty but keep the blue back cap intact? cuz when i make mods like the Pirat KS i just cut off both ends so that its just a hollow tube but i wanna try to keep both of the tips on each end, but remove all the inktubes and inktips...
any advice? -

I don't really know how to help you =/ I didn't try it before and it seems to be really difficult to do.
very sorry =/ -

Just use a scissor. When I do Super Pirates, I just need a Scissor, a file, some Nail Polish Remover + some long metal stick. Pull the Writing thingies out with the scissor, and then just cut off the tips. If you want to, you can file them down after it for a better look. Then just use much Nail Polish Remover on the Body to remove its "outlay". Then I take the long metal stick and push it through the barrel so the ink tubes come out. Then I wash it so the rest ink is gone. Thats it! -

Nice tut Waterfall, never tried it but sounds awsome
. I did happen to make a black version w/ more accesible parts, but it wasnt very wanted so i was like w/e. overall awsome. cant get 094 caps tho -

Nice mod
Is it possible to use Airfit grips instead of Dr. Grip Grips? -
Date: Sun, Oct 18 2009 16:19:50
this mod is AWESOME. i spun one of my friends and i loved it
planning to make one myself -
Date: Sun, Oct 18 2009 17:11:32
1. Its a well written tut. I dont think a vid is needed?
2. His user name was waterfall when he made this mod. Like F1R3fly was called f1r3fly when he made his mod.. -

HeyHey
QUOTEQ = When I spin with it, I hear a little noise from the inside of the body, is it normal?
A = it is strange, some bodies make the noise, others doesn't. Anyway, I don't know how to remove the noise =(.
To get rid of this noice you have to do:
1. Empty the Super Pirat or
2. Just pull out the writing tips and stick long toothpicks in it this should help.

Clear uses this cap called reynolds papi or something. It's the same thing as an 094 cap, but clear. -

Reynolds Pulpi.
Coloured caps are 094's (dont argue with me, theyre 094's. )
Coloured bodies are bellcolors -

Rub the barrel with either a piece of computer paper or a coffee filter. Apply alot of force. -

k i just fluked taking out the ink WITHOUT destroying the blue cap.
usually on pliers there is a section that also cuts. i used that section and cut (squish) the blue ink part at the place where the blue ink part connects
with the white barrel (ie the the inner edge of the blue bit).
it WASNT really a cut as was much of a squish. so i had to squish it twice, so that the resulting "squish" is like a square.
the blue part came out really easily ,and the ink followed naturally.
btw this mod is clearly awesome. a great example of a middleweight mod that performs just as seamless as a buster. a must try.

*after 4 min of spinning
edit: it IS the best mod ive EVER spun. great mod waterfall.

Minwoo used Nail Remover to get rid of the Imprint on the super pirat barrel in his tutorial for his Minwoo mod
It will have a weird clean effect where its a bit grippy, but after a bit of spinning it will be normal =)
I remove the writing off my supertips barrel and at 1st its like WTF!! D: but then it goes normal -

If you move the cloth or towel or cotton ball quickly and leave the finish on, you won't even notice it even had text on.
