Note: the old clear Playcolor is less slippery than the regular one
Note: any version of the Stalogy backplug

Steps
Step 1
Take your VFeel apart and cut the barrel to 3.6 cm
Step 2
Clean the inside of the part
Step 3
With a pipe cutter, cut your Stalogy backplug to 8.6 mm and add some layers of clear tape on the thread part (not shown)
Step 4
Cut the HGG grip to 5.5–6 mm
Step 5
Cut the GP grip to 1.2 cm
Step 6
Assemble steps 3, 4 and 5 with the Juice up tip. If you don’t have a GP grip, use the thinnest grip you can get. For reference, this tip stack weighs 3.9 g.
Note for hardcore modders: by the author’s measurements, the GP grip is 0.75 mm thick, while G3 is 0.83 mm and Needle line is 0.71 mm.
Step 7
Put onto the VFeel barrel: half a Sarasa grip, half a VFeel grip with the tip stack inside, plus 2 cm of Airblanc grip
Step 8
1 piece of 3 stripes of Anyball or Supergrip/G2 grip
Step 9
Cut 1.5 cm of the RSVP grip
Step 10
Put this grip into the VFeel barrel and push in the PC2 barrel
Step 11
Repeat the steps for the other side and you’re done
Notes
Stuff price: around $20
As RPD said, “it feels like an ikusafude (in the sense that it’s short-ish and very overgripped) but of course it’s thinner since it’s a PC2 mod. I don’t have a Nectalios but I’ve spun one in the past and this is kinda like a lighter Nectalios.”
