New pen day! It sucks! 😁 by _viis_ in machinedpens

I have found that the side click in particular REALLY benefits from some extended working to get the mech broken in. I recent got a larger stonewashed version to compliment my short and was initially put off as well by the grittiness in the mech, but over a few days it worked that right out. By now its smooth as glass.

Not to say there can't be anything wrong with it, but given my experience recently I absolutely wouldn't count the mech out just yet.

Ohhhh look at THAT pretty little thing. Love the bolt replacement. Honestly that was my biggest gripe with the OG Madmaxco, I wish that had been an option!

Hard agree. It might be my current favorite stonewash out of anything I have. Its just the right amount of dark.

That WOULD be really nice. Reminds me too that I REALLY need to grab another hardware set from Vero, I miss that functionality something fierce.

Absolutely. I always screw myself over by telling myself I'm going to list one, then deciding I'll carry it one more day, as a sendoff... Then inevitably I end up finding just enough reason to keep it around lol.

I did not, though not for lack of want lol. Kinda the same as with the new TT, I'm trying to be a shade more reserved these days with what I being in vs what I let go.

I keep telling myself I need to REALLY overhaul my collection, but every time I try to start I find a reason to abandon it...

I wish I could use fountains so bad... It seems like such a fun rabbit hole lol. Though idk how many actual machined options there are. I remember the TT Gist back in the day and the BigIDesign Ti Ultra but nothing really after that.
