    Pleased to meet you! Apparently I've been spinning since high school and I didn't even know it. What was once a habit out of boredom is now I found to be the "thumbaround" and the "fingerpass". Lastnight I just made my first pen mod; the RSVG2... I like the idea of form and function. Lessons learned: I like modding; my hands are larger than I thought; I like heavy pens Thank you all in advance for I really look forward to learning from all of you. Cheers! - Kuya

    Thanks! It is a light mod... and I find it a little difficult to use. However, it is my first mod, and I kinda picked it based on the looks and not so much for the specs. I would like to find a heavier mod or I might try to make it heavier. I like the weight of the Pilot Namiki FP. Any suggestions?

    Hi Fang. It's the RSVG2 mod I found in the UPSB wiki. It's basically a G2 with the cap of an RSVP. I didn't shave of the clip of the cap, I kind of like it. It adds about an inch in length overall to the G2 and still retains the retractability of the ink.

    Since I'm only a beginner who knows two tricks, I am not qualified to say whether or not it spins well. All I can say, for the two tricks I know (thumbaround and fingerpass), it's not too bad. However, I do find it a bit too light for my taste.

    welcome to upsb! thats a nice mod, but if u want to make it heavier, u might want to add cut profile or anyball grips to both ends.
