Hi all,
I haven't been turning pens for very long but have done a few cigar kits among others and overall i had a couple issues with these kits - regular or 'ultra':
- When i tried replacing the 'no name' parker refill with a Schmidt 'easy flow', i found out it would not retract properly - like the refill 'sticks' somewhere. Even after extending and retracting several times, it still does not work properly.
- More recently, during assembly, i had to press quiet hard to get the top over the transmission, so much that now i cannot remove it. On one pen, the top is rubbing hard on the bottom and the pen is difficult to operate - you have to turn hard to extend the tip...
Just wondering whether these are 'known' issues or just bad luck...?
Note that i got my kits from different sources and i'm not sure which ones where involved.
Thanks for your feedback and experience.
