But my preference lies with the Monteverde Parker Style Superbroad ballpoint, or their broad gel for even more smooth writing! Is it the pen or the refill that makes the difference. It might be a hacked Energel needle point.I would like to find a refill for my Cross select tip and Monte blanc Meisterstuck ball point that is as good quality as the uni-ball Signo Bold 207, do you have any recommendations?Closest to 207 for MB BP is Uni-ball Jetstream 101 (DIY compatible). Im a totally new pen obsessed ”noob”.Is it possible for example to put 0.5mm uni jet stream refills in the uni jet stream 0.7mm pen and visa versa? Will the Schmidt 628 or 635 work? Its a $2 gamble!What an amazingly helpful post, Ana. I am going to buy refill for my pen . If you can find the capped Jetstream (not the thin stick type one, but the one that looks like a proper capped pen), this refill is best because it has a little plastic extender on top, which you can pull out and stick into the normal clicky Jetsream refills afterwards. Is that also a D1 refill?There is a Jetstream refill available in a D1 size. The Quinkflow refill lasts quite a while or there's also the Fisher Space Pen refill that comes with a little plastic adapter to make it fit in a Parker.Fisher refill. If it’s not hugely complicated I don’t tend to charge for such design work.Please feel free to get in touch with me if you are interested.Hi all!

I can find more of the typical Bic manufactured ones which I could use to replace the finger grip, and tip assembly/ink cartridge if they were depleted, but I can’t find a solution that makes it anything other than a cheap writing implement. However, even the “fine” ballpoint refills are too broad for me. Friction fit. The Shapeways adpaters are a good long term solution. It’s called the “Goliath”. Any ideas?Also are there uef nib replacements sold anywhere for Platinum fountain pens?Note on the Schmidt p8126 & easy FLOW 9000: the easy FLOW is enough thinner than the Schmidt for some compatibility issues.Just want to echo the kudos for all your work – so helpfulI was able to fit a Montblanc Fineliner refill into my Waterman Charleston. Crafted from stainless steel, the upper segment features a long deployment button above Parker’s signature arrow-shaped pocket clip. I have about 12 in all.

The pigment-based inks make the Jetstream range fast-drying pens with dense vibrant colors that do not smudge, making them ideal for left-handed writers.

The Quinkflow refill lasts quite a while or there's also the Fisher Space Pen refill that comes with a little plastic adapter to make it fit in a Parker.The gel refills do just run out very quickly.

Trim the refill down if necessary.Have a Visconti Kaleido Voyager rollerball; was looking for a .5mm refill, and discovered that one from a Pilot precise v5 RT works fine.I’m not very into pens, but I bought my wife one for work. My fave is a solid brass gun cartridge model.Fisher Space pens are among my favourite pens I always have one handy because they are so reliable and just write when you need them to no matter where you are.The only pen that anyone needs is a Zebra F-701. What are the unique features of each pen? I think it may have been a Pentel of some sort but I cannot confirm this. An easy and cheap way to experiment would be to pick a pack of Pilot G2 refills (because they are readily available almost everywhere and are cheap) and see if they would be useable in your pens without the refills having the threading. The ink produces a line which is as even as the line provided by a gel rollerball pen but resists drying out, also giving you the longevity of a ballpoint pen.Uni-Ball was the first to introduce this new hybrid ink in its Jetstream range of pens.

Then you have a great looking, all metal pen with gel ink, that writes well. I can find all kinds of references to it on the internet, however have not found an actual place where I can order these. Post was not sent - check your email addresses! I disassembled them and found that there is is fiber pipe stuck into the back of the rollerball head.Does anyone know where I can buy some of these fiber/felt pipes. They provide real comfort. I too would be keen to know if it works before I buy a tornado!You might need to trim the refill slightly with a sturdy pair of scissors or a knife but it should work.
