The Inner-workings of the Merc Mind
Thanks to Digital Bill for pointing out to me this tutorial on Instructables.com showing how to easily hack a $9 refill from a $200 Monte Blanc pen into a $2 Pilot G-2. (I actually went one notch cheaper than the tutorial by going with the Pilot G-2 07, not the Pro)

Excellent! I can’t wait to do this… I hope to get to office depot this weekend!
How does it write? Does it feel smoooth and sexay?
It writes pretty well, but to be honest, it’s not all that great. The G-2 has more ink flow and writes darker with much smudging. The Monte Blanc’s ink is a bit more translucent and flows very smoothly but also much less liberally.
I really don’t think the Monte Blanc is so much about rollerball variety anyway.
Does anyone know a cheap pen that accepts Monte Blanc Ballpoint refills?
