    Zebra Airfits



    the tips are the size of a dr grip tip, minus the bottom ring and the pointy tip, but they are heavier. not by alot tho.
    you can buy these tips on penwish for like $6, but i can get them at my local Dollarma for a buck a pencil... THATS ONLY ONE DOLLAR!!!!
    I know they are found in Canada, and are VERY cheap here.
    They have an interesting grip too:
    the grip isn't great because as you can see here(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v682/jamie16/DSC03671.jpg) it has the diameter of an HGG tip. of course it will stretch, but its not very flexible.

    Nice find. cool.gif

    But will the lack of that ring at the bottom of the tip make it harder to be held on tighly by a grip?
    (I think it might just slip out)

    nice , another dr. grip tip sub. happy.gif
    looks like you might have to tape the tips to make sure they stay on?
    don't want to spin a pen with those tips and have them fly off and hit somebody in the face ph34r.gif

    yes ive known of these for some time but thought i might as well use dr grips since i cant get airfits for a dollar. they work great for dr.st since you dont need to rely on the lip to keep it attatched

    I'll keep this in mind because i almost lost my dr grip tip the other day. Came out from my dr kt when it was in my pocket.

    Probably yes since the RSVP barrel's not that thick...
    If it doesn't fit you can always stretch it up a little.

    Canada. XD
    I have one near me and I'm near the GTA.
    In Winnipeg? Since Jamie found them. (And he lives in Winnipeg).
    Not sure about the other places in Canada.. (Vancover?)
