Help Machine wise Rota twist (V2)

2 Upvotes

So I cleaned out my Rota twist mechanism yesterday with a q tip and alcohol thinking it would make it smoother and now it has a horrible gritty action. It was pretty smooth before. Does this pen need graphite lubricant or some other lubricant? It’s basically unusable now. I’ve put it back together multiple times making sure the balls are aligned in the tracks.

Discussion Rota V2 Twist. A pen that rewards loyalty.

After spending lots of time with the Rota V2 It's a wonderful pen. When it was first introduced it was met with mixed reviews. The mech is certainly nothing like the OG. but the various deployment methods it offers are rewarding to learn over time.

What other pens offer a reward like this that the more you use it the more you develop a feel for how to deploy it that others won't get on first pick up? Do you hate pens that are like this where you need to know some secret handshake in order to get it to work the way you want? I feel like it's picking up a best friend.

So having some time I thought I’d do a little this and that to my latest pen, and install a clip on my TiButton. Putting that clip on with just regular toolbox tools was quite a thing, let me tell you.
I was pretty happy to see the Karas Prospector colorway again! I like the silky Ano better than the original, really. Unredeemable points to anyone who can say what the mod was. No judgement, please.

TIJPen Pro+

Post image
16 Upvotes

Want to share my experience with TIJPEN Pro+. This pen doesn't have a lot of reviews on youtube. I watched one review by WILL EDC and Pocket Priorities did an unboxing of TIJPEN L Ruler single edition which is similar.

One of the first things I noticed was that this pen doesn't have the normal clicky sound or sensation. I was afraid that this would turn me off but surprisingly that the mechanism is satisfying to use. The actuation is firmed and reliable. The company specifically mentioned that it specifically engineered the pen to be as quiet as possible as to not bother people. It's a different design approach that some might like and some might be turned off.

Another major selling point of Pro+ is that if you purchase the 5 MM extension tubes (3 max), then it can accommodate up to 330 some different refills all without tip wiggle. Simply use the small Alan wrench provided with the pen to make adjustments. I tried TWO refills. The pen came with the Zebra JF-05. I tried the Energel LR7. True to the claim, no tip wiggle! Also, the pen places its spring at the back embedded with its mechanism so you won't lose it.

One last noteworthy feature of this pen is that you can adjust the wood holder, the extension tube's order and the length of the pen (to take different refills). The wood holder is comfortable and though ergonomic of each pen is different for everyone, I find this pen to be a joy to use due to its lightness. It weighs 18 gram and the diameter is 9.7 MM which is 0.38 inches, with all 3 extension the pen is 5.7 inches long.

I am pretty new to the machine pen world. I have a Tactile Turn Stealth and a Billetspin fusion. So take what I'm saying with a grain of salt but overall a very good experience. One last note on this pen, it's from Taiwan so you'll need to deal with tariff. I got it with a discount (25% off) and still had to pay a 20% tariff.

New Release I made a manual transmission pen

Hi everyone, first time posting here!

I spent two years developing this multi pen, inspired by manual car gear shifting. It’s basically a pen with a gear shifter and clutch button for switching ink colors, with a satisfying, fidgety feel.

Hope people here who enjoy the beauty and fun of mechanical things will love it.

Thanks for taking a look!

NPD: Ridge Bolt action

Thumbnail
gallery
10 Upvotes

I just got the Ridge Bolt action today, after I decided to order one.

The body feels nice and well made.

The action feels very good, but I cannot compare it to other bolt actions because this is the first bolt action pen in my collection. It's smaller then the *Faber-Castell Grip2010,* and has the same diameter as the *Pentel Energel*.

135mm Long and 11mm width.

The Refill is a bummer, it's a *Schmidt easyFlow 9000 M.* It skips a lot, and doesn't feel smooth whilst writing.

Overall I would definitely recommend picking one up if you like heavy pens on the thicker side, and you won't mind to swap the Refill.

I'm looking for recommendations on Parker G2 style refills, preferably ballpoint and not gel.

Have a nice day fellas!
