    I don't know why but almost every mod has an RSVP ink tube and it writes nice and all but i want something that writes a bit darker. Personally, i like the G2 ink tube but I'm having trouble to find a decent mod that uses this ink tube and i was just wondering if it was just me who doesn't really like the RSVP ink tube....

    I don't really like writing with the RSVP inktube, but it's very easy to mod since it's ballpoint, long, and won't make that much of a mess for the most part.
    G2 inktubes, and other gel ink intubes, have a tendency to explode or leak, especially in mods when you keep on dropping them, so that's why not many mods will use gel ink inktubes. Since I personally like to write with G3, hi tec, and g2 inktubes, I would bring a modded pen and an unmodded g3, hi tec, or g2 around to write with. The rsvp inktube in the mod is for writing in emergencies.

    imo, i think the rsvp inktube is a bit annoying sometimes.
    it rattles inside the rsvp when spun (like when doing sonics and TA)

    i like to write with the G2, G3, Easytouch, and BIC's(lol)

    off topic: is there a difference between rsvp fine and rsvp med?

    To deal with the rattling of an RSVP inktube, just take a small strip of electric tape and wrap it around the inktube several times until it touches the barrel. That way, it won't hit against the barrel anymore. But make sure the width of the tape that you're wrapping around is thin, so it won't add too much weight.

    I think for the most part, it's agreed that RSVP inktubes, and other ballpoint inktubes, are just generally better for modding. While most people (not all) like gel ink better for writing.

    The difference between RSVP fine and med is as the name implies. The RSVP fine inktube is fine, or thinner, while the RSVP med inktube is of a medium size, which is thicker than the fine size. Some people like to write with thinner ink, while others like thicker ink. So there's two RSVP inktube sizes for you to choose from.

    yes, the fine point has a much thinner ballpoint in the tip leaving you with a much finer ink line

    I personally just carry an F-301(I believe that's the pen one... >_>) and a modded pen. I love how the F-301 feels to touch and the way it writes

    Hi-5!
    And G3 ink is great if you like writing very fine lines, G3 ink feels like a quill.

    The best inktube to smash/break is G2 for sure biggrin.gif
    and for writing I guess Profile/Anyball

    So... compared to a Pilot G3, how well does a G2 write?

    It's up to your own personal preference. Some people think that G2s write better, while some other people think that G3s write better. But generally, I think that they write just as well as each other. They're both made by pilot anyway =P they're both good for writing.
