Thread: Better refills

I upgrade all of my ballpoint pens with a private Reserve Easy Flow 9000 refill. They are available from many vendors but I use www.exoticblanks.com

I agree that most of the kit supplied ones are pretty scratchy and hate giving out any pen with the stock refills, although for the cheaper ones I do currently as my budget is running tight, but really this is false economy and I'm about to change.

As you say, if your customer has a bad writing experience, they may not come back again. A good exterience will encourage them to come back at least for refills, if nothing else, although I still thinkmost customers will just go to Big W for their refills in the end.

I tried out some Private Reserve refills (which are custom made for them by Schmidt generally) and liked them so much, that's all I use now, and I have just started reselling them on my web site.

Same with fountain pens. The stock cartridges are marginal, and i'm using good wuality inks for them as well.

+1

actually, +2. They're great and cheap if buying in bulk.

I always give my customers a try of the pen for balance and writeability ,most are happy with standard refills, but I always give a decent refill with each sale (usually dayacom )
I do sometimes upgrade them to a rollerball if they are not happy with biros, some of the rollerball refills are only so-so though . For my market sales they get stock standard at my sales prices ,for custom I try to make sure that all is as perfect as possible

I have just replaced the stock refill in my everyday pen with a Dayacom I had laying around. I will try this for a while to see how it goes. It sounds like the Easyflow 9000 is a good option from the recommendations of those above, so I will look into these for the better Sierras.
Thanks for your opinions.
