I looked up on the upsb wiki web site and searched for substitues for tip of HGG pens and it suggested a pen called the Uni-Ball Signo...so i went to OfficeDepot and went to get some singos i tried making an rsvp mx and used the singo tip as a sub but it didnt look right or fit at all what the hell..

Maybe you got some other signo. Post a pic of the RSVP MX and the signo you got.

dont use the retractable ones with a plastic tip,. use the capped, screwed on metal ones
the grip wont be long enough so u will have to add on some more grip to cover the body -

That looks like the plastic tip...
the metal signo tip is rather heavy, is yours heavy? -

Those may be the Uniball 207 tips.. i believe they are plastic and rather light.. I dont think they screw on a RSVP either

i have what Kaffatsum said but they dont feel like plastic but they are kinda light

What you want are these:
Hi Tec C tips also work very well, IMO, they balance out better than a signo:

These http://www.uniball-na.com/main.taf?p=2,2,7 are the correct signos
You can get them at Office Depot, Staples, Office Max, Walmart, etc.
I got them from my Office Max, I also believe they are cheaper in a pack than the versions you bought. -

you can still use the (corect) signo tip to substitute it (tho i personally think signo tipped mx suck)
if you can return them then go ahead...but if you can't then
cause there's no known mod that really uses those tips

All tips mentioned are no sub for hgg.
HGG is about 0,7g, signo 1,8, hitec/g1 around 1,2g.
The shape is different as well. -

are these able to use as well i dont know if the tips are too big or too small...

it doesn't really need to be unibal gel pen, they have other products that are basically the same thing, like signo DX, same thing with a clear body ( or atleast im pretty sure) -

u can get a pack of signos (15 in each pack i think) at staples
thier in the clear plastic square case if that helps
u can also find the hi tec ones in staples
do signo grips work on MX too?
http://www.staples.com/office/supplies/p4_...40899:SS1006671
im curious if the tip/grip of this gel pen works on MX, cuz thier way cheaper than signos -
