First off I'm wondering if there's a name for the pen i use, which is simply a double capped RSVP.
now, ever since i started using this DCRSVP, ive been searching for a way to balance out the weight without doing anything drastic.
this morning i found the answer- ball bearings!
in the bottom side of the pen, inside of the cap, i stuck one large and one small ball bearing, and some paper to not let it rattle.
i was wondering if anyone has ever thought of this concept before?
also i was thinking you could take out the ink tube and replace it with a bunch of ball bearings in the barrel
it'd make it real heavy, but even too. i only had like 5 ball bearings tho and i think once u stick it in the barrel it wont come back out >< -

i'm pretty sure lead fishing weights will serve the same purpose except since fishing weights are mostly lead you can mold them to any shape you want

Ball bearings, air rifle pellets (metal & plastic), rice and plenty of other small objects have been used for added weight.
A double-capped RSVP doesn't have a name because it's nothing special. -
