i got an idea after thinking about making it heavier, ok i want sombody to post pictures if you could do this, i thought for pens like the ballsign or the bictory that you could fill with sand and to put less or make cop better is to put sand in and plug up with something like a orange peel or some lind of like tight sealing thing like putty! or something i also thought of putting it in a rsvp pen... post pics. i would if i could.

Sand has long been thought of. Go read Tohlz' Pen Modding Guide, it talks about using Blu-tak to plug up the pen.
If you were to add sand to a pen, I would think a softer plastic pen would be best. The extra weight of the sand would give more of an impact if dropped and a harder plastic pen would most likely break very easily. -

ok all those methods are great, but my method is really really simple and really really effective. Just buy a coil of lead for maybe 3-5 dollars at any hardware store. Since it is lead, it is easily bent and mouldable. on one of my Bictory's, i cut off a small piece of lead with some wire snips. this is really simple since it is so soft. then with some large needlenose plyers i flattened it into a disc until its diameter is that of the cap. then i put it in the cap and with an upside down nail, i gently pounded it down to the tip on the inside of the cap with a hammer. it is really simple and i have used it on several of my light mods that needed some weighting so i know that it works.

dude ._. you could just get a flexible curve and then cut it and its cheaper than your solder thingy. the core is also lead and you can squish it up the whole barrel of a kt if u like ._.

One of my friends wrap electrical tape around the ink in the pen, it looks like a plain black insert, and it adds quite a bit of extra weight.
