Hey TJ, Congrats on your new pen!! Let me know your thoughts once it arrives!

I originally bought the stonewashed and loved it so much that I had to order the black! I’ll have both of these almost a year in December and I use them both daily! Absolutely doesn’t leave my sight!

Hey James!! Thanks for the comment. Out of curiosity what ink do you use. I love my pen but the ink it came with ghosts a lot and has a tendency to a spill ink on the page a bit too much for my liking.

On this pen, the spring has different size openings at each end. When using smaller Parker G2 size refills, the smaller end of the spring should be facing the refill. When using larger Pilot G2 or rollerball refills, the larger end of the spring should be facing the refill. Just something to note.

Hey Brian! Thanks for the comment! I have the Pocket Pro and I know the spring on that pen is as you described but didn't realize it was the same with the Click EDC! Appreciate you sharing that with everyone!

Really good review! You just got another sub!

Hey Vindinu Jayawardana! Thanks for the comment and the sub! Appreciate the feedback!

I have all three finishes. On later models the self adjusting collet is somehow different. It has a desire to catch on the ridge of certain refills where the nib is attached to the cartridge. It depends on how far the ridge is from the tip. I actually returned one pen before I worked out the solution. The spring on my Ti Bolt version was slightly stiffer. I swapped it over and there was no more catching as the ridge passed the collet. BigIdesign have been fantastic and I hope they either put in a slightly stronger spring or alert customers who have found certain refills don't retract smoothly. Awesome pens. Now I just have to push it a tad harder to get it to operate seamlessly.

I just bought this pen and I love everything about it.....it will never leave my sight...awesome job guys.

Hey ef kay!!! Thanks for the comment and request! Once I receive the grease I'll post a video on the process of taking the pen apart, applying the grease and my impressions after a few days of use. I'll send you a message once the video is up! Enjoy the weekend!

Solution for pen wiggle: If your pen wiggles at the rubber rings, and the beginning of the tip ( this could be because you are using a longer refil, at least I do) I suggest you putting some basic cello tape around the rubber rings. Nothing fancy, just some tape. This fixes the pen wiggle, and it's a much more substainable solution than shoving the extra rubber rings you get down the tip...trust me. Also, it doesn't make any crinkling sound, like I though it would. Remember, the wiggle migth be the ink cartridge inside. TO SUM UP: Pen wiggles, put cello tape around the end of the barrel, migth take two layers. It's going to be difficult to screw in, but that's good. I hope I helped.

Hey James! I wasn’t 100% sure so I wrote Chadwick from bigideadesign and he said “Hi Ben,That part is made from dlc coated titanium, we coat it for a smoother action, hope that helps!”

Hi, enjoyed the video. How's the texture of surface? Does it have the characteristic roughness of titanium which is very useful for giving some proper friction with your fingers?

Thanks for the comment! I think the brushed titanium finish might have a better grip than my polished version. You should see all the finishes on their website.

Hi, did the grease work?

@BenGeldreich

Yes it did! They actually sent me a new mechanism as well which had way more grease on it and worked wonderfully!

Can it be converted to a mechanical pencil using schmidt mechanical pencil converter given its versatility in term of taking in refills ? Has anyone tried it ?

Yeah it’s a very well made pen! All metal parts minus some o rings and very light weight ... but the clicking mechanism is my least favourite part. Wish it made a noise. Although those around me probably appreciate the lack of clicking noise when I’m fiddling with it. LOL.

Hey Hohmies Mcfly! Would writing on a piece of paper help you to make a better decision about purchasing this pen? I didn’t include any of that footage as the Ti EDC click pen can use over 100 different ink cartridges / refills and the review was about the pen itself, not the ink that came with the pen. Are you looking for an ink cartridge review or a suggestion of which type of ink to purchase for this pen?
