Vesper Stylus Click Pen assembly?

[RKB]

Penn State help desk is closed and was wondering if anyone has assembled the Vesper Stylus Click Pen Kit? I am having issues with the little black rubber Stylus Tip. The directions are not clear, at least to me, on how the stylus rubber tip is to be installed.?

You put the rubber stylus tip onto the stylus tip holder. Then screw that assembly into the tip. Out of the last four I made, however, two of the stylus tips tore when I tried to screw them into the tip. I emailed PSI, and it turns out that they had some stylus tip holders that were machined wrong. They sent me replacements.

WOW. Thank you Jim for taking the time to answer my question so thoroughly. The pics were totally awesome and really helped me. I think my holders are incorrect too. Will contact them on Monday.

Appreciate all your posts.
Take care.

No problem, Rod, happy to help. I was pretty vexed when two of the rubber tips tore. I was happy to find out it was nothing I did wrong.

I've seen those and was wondering why the stylus tip doesn't go on the finial instead of in the tip. Any answers? It kept me from trying out the kit.

I have no idea about that one.

I would say it is more comfortable to use the stylus end without having to grip the pocket clip. More of a normal way to hold the pen.

UPDATE: Penn State sent me new stylus tips that fit and I got these pens assembled this afternoon after the mailman arrived. There was an issue with the stylus tips being too large, the new ones are .001 smaller and work very well. Whew that was way too close to Christmas. Note to self: don't use unknown and untried pen kits for Christmas gifts.:redface:
Thanks again to Jim Lane for his help.
Merry Christmas.
