    in a few retractable mods that use an rsvp inktube it is required that you "crimp" the inktube (in an any-x it says make a mark)

    what does this mean?

    i have read the wiki and i could not find anything on it

    it means you have to pinch the ink tube at that hieght, so the spring doesnt pass over it.

    Use needle-nose pliers to pinch, and then stretch out, the ink tube to create a makeshift spring stopper. Yay.

    Looks like a new wiki article is needed!

    a better way is to just wrap scotch tape around it, less chance of damaging the ink tube
