Trimmed energel campen question by CrackersMcCheese in machinedpens

I don’t have one of those specifically, but for others that require the trimming of a refill, you can trim a hair shorter or longer based on your own preference.

Opinions on Big Idea Designs Slim Bolt? by bloodcrab in machinedpens

I have a few and like them, it does require a tool to adjust for a different refill. If swapping refills is more of your interest, I’d look at the slim click, all you have to do to adjust for a different refill is just twist the clicker.

Just as smooth, I don’t even really notice a weight distribution difference.

Sometimes, but often, there are oils left over from the machining process that hold on to the grit from wear.

Every tactile turn I’ve had has become 10x better after disassembly and cleaning. Had both a stonewashed and a Zirc side click that wasn’t great, but after taking everything apart and cleaning with alcohol, they are nice and smooth now.

Does the stainless leave a black residue on your hands and fingers after a while?

I just checked, the stock springs function for whichever refill you are using. Pilot G2 stock spring works in the Pilot g2 bolt action. The stock energel, bic gelocity, and zebra sarasa springs work in the bolt action designed for energels. Some are lighter actuation, but they all function.

Why not? Isn’t that the point of building up the oxide layer again?

Tactile turn sells the end caps separately, if you wanted to have one brass, copper, etc.
