Never knew rollerballs or ballpoints could be made to use fountain pen cartridges and or ink you learn something new everyday
You've convinced me to give Stabilo another chance. I used a few different types of their pens and markers over the years and had all bad experiences with them so wrote them off. Thanks for all the great reviews!
I like the Stabilo Worker.. the orange. It is great for use outdoor, I if drop the pen in nature I can easy find it again. (yes I have a special bag for use outdoor - with easy to find stuff... also a Victorinox with red scales (my only red).
That Schneider is called the One Change, not to be confused with the Schneider One Business (tip like Uniball Air) and One Hybrid (needle or cone metal tip), which are not refillable. The Schneider Ray takes the standard refills.
I love your channel man. Every time I come across a new pen I look on here for a review and you usually have a review.
Would a roller ball that uses fountain pen ink be more compatible with a lubed ink (i.e.: Noodler's American Eel) to help keep the ball from wearing out?
Where would one get the replacement tips? Do the tips come in various points (EF ,F, M, B)?
Very interesting and informative video.
Tfw you realize this is Sal’s last video of 2019
I have a MV one touch, definitely a problematic pen, but it is serviceable. you've got to use a lubricated ink. Noodler's X-Feather works really well, as it's also a bit more viscous.
I've never had any problems with my J Herbin.
Thanks for the note
Have you seen the Yookers refillable felt tip pen that uses standard ink cartridges? You can also change the tips for different widths.
Sal I just saw them advertised by the Fountain Pen Hospital. I prefer rollerballs.
I'm surprised you didn't add the Pilot V5 / V7 Hi Tecpoint to this group! It's a great cartridge rollerball
well they use custom made cartridge sadly and not international fountain pen ones.
The ink they use is not fountain pen ink
Yo wish you a happy new year Sal!
Stabilo make a rollerball call the s'move thats aimed for helping kids write. I found them to be one of my favourite rollerball tips of all time. Very nice flowing.
Unfortunately the ergonomic shape of the pen makes it hard for me to use it well. If they released the same cartridges in a body similar to these, I'd buy it straight away.
Infact I might just design 3D print one at my work...
What types of fountain pen ink should one avoid for refillable rollerballs that use FP ink? Any specific types of ink or brands or ingredients to watch out for?
The Schneider One, although you don't seem to like them, seem like the best solution - integrate the cartridge and the ball in one SMALL package, and replace both every time. The cost is that you can't use your own fountain pen inks, but it's better than buying those giant "refills" that are basically a pen in their own right. If they took off you could have cool-looking pen casings and a wide variety of cartridges. Ideally someone would come up with a way to just make that damn ball at the end changeable.
I got the Schneider Breeze because it's the only rollerball I could find with an ergonomic shape. It's allot more comfortable if you need to do allot of writing.
Hey Sal, I picked up an old pencil which looks to be an original Cross Classic mechanical pencil for a few bucks at a vintage store. The only problem is I can't figure out how to work the thing. It seems to have some sort of twist action for dispensing lead, but I can't figure out how to get any lead into the thing -- let alone come out of it. It's 0.9mm if that matters. Do you happen to know how to operate these pencils? I can get some photos if you'd like.
I would like to see how do you store pens, cartridges and notebooks
Have you seen his writing? .... No one can read it, I do not think he uses notebooks.
Can you recommend a good pen for some one with bad arthritis in there hands I've had joints replaced on numerous fingers and I'm looking for a comfortable pen thanks for your time
Maybe the uni alpha gel will work for you
I bought my Dad a Parker Jotter XL.( He has arthititis and giant hands). And he finds it very comfortable to write with.
Happy New Year!! I look forward to your videos of 2020!!
sounds like schneider doesn't scratch you recommended schneider ray... :)
im actually using a schneider voyage. They work amazingly and they accept convertors, so AMAZING
Hi! I've just bought a stabilo be crazy rollerball and I was wondering... do you know if I need to wash the pen before changing the ink color? I don't know if sinking the pen in water will damage the tip or if I should just write on a piece of paper until the remaining ink will finish, thank you in advance and most importantly, thank you for letting me know these kind of pens!
You don’t need to wash it. If you do you won’t get one color bleeding into the other but you Definitely don’t have to
@@unsharpen OHH, thank you for the reply :) I was really struggling to find some info on how to refill it!
@@unsharpen Isn't there a risk of the inks reacting badly with one another? And clogging it up.
Thank you this was really helpful
I have an Parker Vector Rollerball
Don't everybody have those?
I got some 35 years old, still writes.
@@LazyStory mine is also vintage
Pilot Hi Tec Point! I think PenBBS might have one too.
Penbbs 350
This Schneider is such a waste of material! Why not built in tip, and converter only as ink?!
And i Hate those rubbery pens, as they use cheap rubber, and it gooeys sooner or later...
they have rollerballs that use fountain pen cartridges I use their voyage rollerball and its amazing, andwith a convertor
