Rotring Skynn Rollerball Refill Question

[Zookie]

I just purchased a rotring skynn rollerball shell. No ink refill included.

Normally I would have passed on it, but it's such an odd looking thing that I just HAD to have it.

My question is this. What gel pen refills will fit this thing?

I currently use an Energel 0.7, but would prefer a 1.0 bold with this one.

Any suggestions ?

It looks like the pen takes a standard refill for capped rollerball pens, the same size and shape as a Pilot G2 refill.

Try Office Depot/OfficeMax or Staples. The Pilot G2 refill is inexpensive, and if it does fit you'll have a number of other rollerball refill possibilities. In theory, all of the following refills are interchangeable:

 

• Caran d’Ache Fibre Tip Refill
• Caran d’Ache Rollerball Refill
• Faber-Castell Rollerball Pen Refill
• Faber-Castell Fineliner Pen Refill
• FORAY (Office Depot) Pen Refill For Schmidt Rollerball
• Kaweco “soul” refill G2
• Kaweco G2 Gel Roller Pen Refill
• Hi-Tec-C Cavalier refill
• Monteverde Fineliner Refill G52
• Monteverde Ceramic Rollerball Refill W22
• Monteverde Spring-Loaded Tip Fineliner Refill G62
• OHTO Ceramic Rollerball Pen Refill
• OHTO F-300 Fude Refill Black
• Pentel LR7 Energel
• Pilot Frixion Erasable Gel
• Pilot Juice (removed from plastic retractable pen)
• Pilot G2
• Pilot LP2RF Gel Refill (Juice refill code)
• Schmidt Capless Rollerball 8126 and 8127 (shorter models can work with an extension hack)
• Schmidt FineLiner refill
• Schmidt Safety Rollingball Ceramic refill
• Schmidt Safety Rolling Tube refill
• Schmidt RollingSupersteel refill
• Schmidt RollingBall refill
• Schneider Topball 850 Pen Refill
• Schneider Topliner 970 Pen Refill
• Sheaffer Fineliner Refill
• Visconti Rollerball Pen Refill AA40 0.7
• Zebra JT refill
• Zebra Sarasa Clip refill (removed from plastic retractable pen)

I think the OP is in New York. Not that we don't want him to visit, but it's probably a bit of a trip just for a RB refill...

Whups! See what I get for not paying closer attention? <G>

Yep, I live in upstate NY. We have lousy weather. I'd love to visit OZ, and pen refills are as good an excuse as any.
