Pentel Refill for EnerGel RTX Perfect for MB Rollerball Pen


OCArt

Recommended Posts

   I have a MB rollerball from the late 1980's or early 90's that I never used much because I didn't care for the way it wrote. I just dropped in a Pentel Refill for EnerGel RTX 1mm and now love it! This was an easy drop in replacement except that the Pentel was about 3mm too short. I pulled the end plug out of the old MB refill, carved it down a bit to fit into the Pentel tube and away we went.  I now love the way it writes!  If you have a MB rollerball I encourage you to try it, I didn't want to invest too much money so I bought a package of two complete Pentel pens for $7.20 and stole the guts out of one.  A box of 12 refills is $14.82 on Amazon.

Hello

 

I use both the 1.0mm and the 0.7mm in my LeGrand 162. 

 

Pentel makes a one of the best refills out there...IMHO. 

 

There is an older thread about this as well, somewhere here on FPN.

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
