I'll hopefully be able to buy from Penwish soon, for the first time.
Anything you guys would recommend? For quite a while now, it's been pretty boring. Just v1's and Bictories.
I'm thinking about getting a few MX's and some metal comssas. Also, probably a lot of premades. I can't do much modding.
Anything else? -

get an emboss mod then rub the barrel with acetone. Pure win.
Also, try to get G3's, jimnies, and hyperjells (not on penwish) since these are used in quite a few mods. -

Thats what i do

Don't make a new thread just ask around. There have been numerous threads just like this already. Although I would recamend a pre-made 2-sided (symetrical mod). Wither a buster CYL or a Dr. KT unless those are too heavy for you.

Thanks guys.
Sorry, wrote quickly, so I forgot a few things. Budget's probably in the range of 20-40 bucks (big range, but I'm not sure yet >_>)
Don't know about KT's or Busters. I want a KT, but I don't really want anything too heavy. -

youd probably want to grab:
2-4 ColorTwins
2-4 HGG's (various colours)
UPSB Case
White/Black sailors
Tornado grips
Comssa caps

instead of buying an MX, just buy an HGG. if you already have V1's, make an MX out of one of them, or just get a new RSVP. It'll be much cheaper. plus, an MX is really simple to make, so you don't need to worry about not knowing how to mod.
I'd stay away from a KT or a Buster CYL for now- both are heavy, and fairly expensive, so you might want to wait with these.
Generally, I'd recommend on getting:
a Metallic Comssa
Some HGGs
A few Dong-a sign pens (used to make comssas, and many other mods)
and now, just look around a bit in the Pen Modification category, check out some tutorials and maybe also Show Off Your Pens, and see if you see anything that looks interesting
and buy more stuff accordingly :]
Also, RSVPs, G2s, and Profiles (or Anyballs, which are the same thing) are all very useful in a lot of mods, for bodies or grips, and are also easy to get locally, so just keep in mind that a) you don't have to buy everything online. some stuff might be cheaper to get in the store across the street, and although modding might seem hard at first, your modding skills will improve with time :] also, don't try to tackle difficult mods on your first try- start simple and slowly build your way up.
I hope I was helpful ^^ -
