    Anyone know if the grips are the same as regular G2's? I usually only use the grips on the G2's and they are much cheaper.

    SuperGrip XS is awesome, they're much cheaper then the regular one and you only need the grip for Ballsign Mod anyways <3

    That sounds really fucked up, since they're way smaller and thus need less material...

    i think so too. but so far i only see them in 1 store, don't see much of them. i donno whether they tagged the wrong price or it is the price.

    yea but isn't it harder to make it cause its smaller?

    What your really paying for is the ink. But at the same price it sounds fair to me. What is it? Like a 2c difference in building costs?

    Oh yeah, I got a mini G2 mech pencil and that grip is like 1 ring smaller. Sry

    okay...

    this topic has popped up many times in UCPSB.


    mechanical pencil G2's and super grips are slightly smaller than a normal G2.

    normal G2's and mini G2's have the same grip.

    normal G2's and mini G2's usually cost the same, thus making the normal G2 a better deal.

    G2 mini's obviously have less barrel than a normal G2, making a mini G2 a bad choice for most pen modders (i.e. RSVP Spectrum, look it up at UCPSB). though some use the mini G2 for certain retractable mods to avoid cutting a normal G2. the threads on any G2 are very easy to crack, which is a downside for using the mini G2 for a retractable mod.

    mini G2's do not come in clear plastic.

    a mini G2 is almost exactly the same as a normal G2, except for the most obvious difference, the barrel is shorter.


    i think i covered everything here.

    i personally don't like mini G2's, but that's my opinion.
