    Yeah, so apparently a Com-SSa thread does not exist, so I decided to make one.
    My question is based on adding weight to the INSIDE of the barrel.
    Does anyone have any methods for that? I've taken out the inktube, so it's kinda light on the inside.

    Chopstick or wooden dowel in the back plug, thicken it with teflon so it doesn't rattle. But you may need to make it a comssa metallic to add more weight on the caps. One of my comssa metallics is like this happy.gif

    You can shove an HGG inktube in the barrel. Like the HCMX

    Add signo tips. Signo-tipped comssas rock. Hgg tip comssas are too light.

    I just bought a big pack of signos yesterday. Gotta love signos. Made a signo-tipped MX, new signo-tipped comssa, and a comssa momentum (which also has a signo).

    He was asking about how to add weight to the body because he removed the ink.

    I know, but adding signo tips makes everything all better. :]

    I tried adding signo tips, but I think that I'm missing something.
    The HGG tip goes inside the Com-SSa cap a bit, and that's how it holds.
    But signo tips don't. How do you get them on?

    Drill a hole in the cap?

    you can also try thickening the signo tip's uhh idk wat you call it the bulge thingy... and then wrap electric tape so that the tip won't rip off easily

    Yea, how would you get a signo tip inside the cap of a comssa cap? If you leave it outside, it kinda looks ugly. :\

    i took an ink out of my comssa metallica once and i totally regretted it, i filled it with play doh.

    Maybe, another pen?

    How would you make the front part of a comssa metallic retract heavier? I have been stuck on this for this for a few days because the only drawback for that pen is that it is a little back heavy (at least for me) because of the back clicker.

    All my comssas are signo tipped too....
    how i cover them up is by taping the tip directly on the cap...and the tape is only on the flat part on the bottom of the tip...
    then you can use grips to cover it up...and you can't see any tape... if you did it right laugh.gif

    Yeah just ordered some metallic comssa's from PenWish, and I was wondering whether I should keep the HGG tips in or have signo tips. Or both.

    I dont see why you's gotta Signo tip a ComSsa, my HGG tipped ComSsa Metallic works juuuust fine
    seriously
    it spins great
    and i'm normally a fan of heavier mods =/
    haha

    It's just all about personal preferences... For me I use to hate the HGG tipped comssa cause I spun my uber MX too much, but after I spun a ballsign for one French class.... HGG tipped comssa ftw.

    One of the metal tips on my comssa is loose. I've tried screwing and hammering it back on but it's not working. Is there anything else I can use that will give it more weight on the ends? (the tips were getting annoying anyway)

    Putting tiny BUT heavy screws in each caps? Or any other tiny objects that are heavy. I guess that's the only way you can do it....
    Were you using HGG tips? It should be stuck in the cap perfectly...

    Yea, that happened to me with one of my comssa caps. In the end, I just cheated and used hot glue to make it stick on. laugh.gif
