Just a quick question - I just finished my first Cigar pen, and I'm not sure the transmission is working properly. I can rotate the top both left and right, and the ink cartridge does come out just like it's supposed to, but - it keeps wanting to retract all by itself. Surely this is not normal???

Nope , thats not normal at all . It should work in both directions but it shouldn't retract by itself . When you turn it to get the tip out , are you turning it until it stops ? You should feel a slight "click" when it's fully extended .

Ken,

I had a similiar problem with a cigar. I tapped on the end of the transmission and I cycled several times rather briskly and it started working correctly. I figured there was too much lube or a burr somewhere inside and by cycling it several times it fixed itself.
