Hello guys,
I made my own mod today(finally) and i would like to ask for opinions on my mod and tips on how to improve it. These pens can be found in Singapore(where i stay) cause it is ridiculously hard to find materials for most of the famous mods
Materials: 2 mini double markers
2 grips
2 Signo tips
Length: 20 cm
Weight: i have no idea. add 3-4 grams to the weight of 2 signo tips and that's about it
COG: COP
there's plenty of momentum because well the body is only 1 gram. so all the weight is at the sides
it can't write at the moment i'm afraid but i'm trying to find a way to stuff an inktube in without messing it up too much

Not sure how the two pieces are stuck together but make sure that it is a strong connection.

what did you use to connect the barrels?

its a double tipped marker, so i took out both inktubes, took out one end from one of the markers, put abit of teflon tape on the other and stuck it into the hole of the single tip 1. holds up pretty well and after like a few hundred drops you just need to push it in like 1mm

Interesting... Did you try to spin with it?
Maybe you can put down your personal opinion after you tried spinning with it. With that, we might be able to give you more comments

@novastrike: I tried spinning it but my opinion is limited as i only know a pathetic number of tricks. but to me it feels better than my bictory. more momentem without too much increase in weight.
@minche: stuffing the inktube in is easy, but because there is no cap and no retractable mechanism, it will be difficult to prevent u from being drawn on if u drop the pen. i could have put the pen's original cap on but then it becomes too longgg, like 26-28 cm. -

Hmm... If you feel better spinning your new mod then bictory, I guess the mod is good enough already
Maybe you can try to release a tutorial on how to make this mod already

Looks simple enough to figure out how it works by reading his posts. It seems very fragile though, you say you only need to push it back a mm or so every hundred drops, but you shouldn't even have to do that. Find something that connects the barrels better. Also, how stable are these light bodies? Is the pen flexible or is it stale?

erm i'll try using a G2 inktube some time later when i exhaust the ink inside. what do u mean by how stable? and what's stale o.o it doesn't really like to bend though

Yeah make it able to write and I think you have got yourself a cool mod here.
