I've shoved a variety of things into a variety of bars without problems. Well, maybe a touch of filing, or a wrap of tape, but nothing's fallen out.
Something you might consider is spooging some cheap silicon sealant or just Poundshop generic caulk or filler into the bars to absorb vibrations. Not something that I've had to try, but I can see the point of it. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

Check that all is well with the bike. Vibration white finger, for which there is no cure, is not good. "Edit: it's all about preventing, stopping, altering or avoiding vibration".
So. Bike itself check: steering head bearings, engine mounts, all bearings on crank OK, chain alignment/wear. Handlebar angle adjustment to make comfortable (also affects vibration), including grips/levers, handlebars should not be not too wide, levers not too far to stretch your fingers to.
You: Gloves OK not too tight, gel gloves should be good, keep your hands warm!, riding position not throwing too much weight onto hands, soft grips possible?, bar end weights will change the resonant frequenc(y|ies) (at which vibration is a relative maximum), wrists straightish not very bent when riding?
Your size and build including arm lengths etc. (ooh-er!) will affect things significantly (riding position). There won't be one "bar end weight" suitable for everyone. Do something about it, though, because as said there is no cure for vibration white finger, and, as I find out from time to time myself, usually in the winter-time, it's not very good.

Nice heavy billet bar end mirrors here. No probs with vibes at all. They weigh more than the weights they replaced. ____________________ Currently enjoying products from Ford, Mazda and Yamaha
