I've noticed that most twist pens can be a bit unpredictable in how their twist mechanisms work--- some twist very easily, some don't.
Sometimes it's due to a bit of glue stuck inside the brass tube of the upper barrel, but sometimes that's not the issue. I suspect the grease they put in the twist tranny is rather thick.
For a couple years I've been putting a few drops of lube down inside the tranny to "loosen" it up. I've found spray lubes like WD40 and LPS being too liquid and made the tranny too lose IMO.
The stuff below, however, is just right. One or two drops in the top of the twist mechanism, twist it a few times to work it in, and viola!
Add to that, this stuff is like $2 for a 4 oz bottle at Lowe's.
