Hacking G2 refills into other pens?

Submitted by Flexiblefine on May 3, 2006 - 12:11pm.

I don't have a Mont Blanc rollerball, so I have no idea how wonderful they may be. (My MBs are fountain pens, of course.)

I've wanted to hack a G2 refill into something else, like a Pelikan R800, but I haven't played with it. As near as I can tell, I would have to shave down part of the G2 refill to go in the Pelikan.

For those who enjoy G2s, do you have suggestions or pointers about where G2 refills can go? Or even G2 Mini refills?

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
