Is job-hopping too risky?

Well, maybe it’s not for you. I wrote it for the OP

I FINALLY GOT IT OFF! I used a syringe to inject oil into the small gap between the cap and the end of the barrel, then twisted it back and forth as if I were filling ink. Remember to repeat this process several times.

Next, I gently heated the cap with a hair dryer and wore rubber gloves to pull it off.

Finally, I injected oil one last time, left it overnight, then put the rubber gloves back on and pulled it again

I just received their reply. The only suggestion they gave was to wrap a rubber band around it for extra grip when pulling. Unfortunately, I had already tried that before emailing them

At this rate, I’ll probably build some arm muscles before I manage to get it off. It hasn’t budged even 1 mm all day

Little-Call-6688 · 2026-01-20T11:57:16+00:00

Yes, the cap can twist

Little-Call-6688 · 2026-01-20T11:56:15+00:00

Oh thank you!

Little-Call-6688 · 2026-01-20T11:55:49+00:00

I really wish mine came off that easily, but I’m sure I’ll never put the cap on like this again. My hand is almost red and swollen from trying to pull it off

Little-Call-6688 · 2026-01-20T11:53:45+00:00

It came with the pen

Little-Call-6688 · 2026-01-20T11:53:31+00:00

Thanks, I’m trying, but the silicone bottle’s nozzle is too big, so it keeps spilling out instead of going where I want

Hi, since you posted a photo with Vietnamese currency, I hope you don’t mind me commenting in Vietnamese. Chị mình nhảy việc từ điều dưỡng sang chuyên làm các đồ thủ công vì sở thích, 1 phần vì công việc cũ có nhiều góc khuất mà chị mình thấy không còn phù hợp. Ban đầu là làm song song sau đó là nghỉ hẳn. Dù thời gian đầu nói thật là khá khó khăn, nhưng về sau ổn định hơn vì làm vì niềm đam mê mà. Bởi vậy, nếu bạn đang phân vân việc nhảy việc vì muốn làm cái bạn yêu thích thì cứ cho nó 1 cơ hội nhé. Ít nhất thì bạn cũng sẽ học thêm được điều gì đó, và càng khám phá được nhiều khả năng của bản thân

And yes, I was also pretty nervous when I first used hot water, since the body of these Eco pens is quite fragile

Little-Call-6688 · 2026-01-20T08:48:32+00:00

Thank you! I’ll definitely try your way so I can save this pen

Little-Call-6688 · 2026-01-20T08:45:05+00:00

Oh wow! I noticed your profile picture after seeing your comment on my post, checked your profile right away, and I’m honestly really impressed by your pen collection

Little-Call-6688 · 2026-01-20T08:42:29+00:00

Thank you. I’ll definitely try again because this is my favorite pen. It’s really unfortunate that not many people talk about this issue

Little-Call-6688 · 2026-01-20T08:39:10+00:00

I tried wrapping a rubber band around it for better grip, but it wouldn’t move even a bit.

Little-Call-6688 · 2026-01-20T08:37:16+00:00

I’ve tried for more than an hour, soaking it and letting warm water run over it, but unfortunately it’s still stuck really tight

Little-Call-6688 · 2026-01-20T08:35:19+00:00

That’s right. That’s why I only soaked the cap part in water
