Helpful, but must provide some constructive criticism. Music was very loud and distracting. Also, you fast-forwarded too fast through some of the most important parts. The whole video is how to do this effectively and fast-forwarding does not provide a good example of the amount of pressure required to not put it together too tight, or too loose. You specified this, so it would be best to show it in your video, as well.

Never got around to cleaning my eco. Cracks started appearing after about a year of use anyway, so pointless to clean it.
I wonder how many ecos will last for years and years to come before cracking up..😅

It's because you didn't take care of it.😊

[@kjetiljakobsen5517]

@@ieaterasers5986 No, it’s because twsbi use crappy plastic. Never had any cracking in any of my other pens from other brands that are several years older.

Twisbi is also a pen brand that makes cheaper pens, so they probably use cheaper plastic to cut down on cost. Either way, I never had that issue, (despite using it often) but I know that others have.
Perhaps it's just the way pens are taken care of?

[@kjetiljakobsen5517]

@@ieaterasers5986 the cracking is on both sides on the grip section where the nib is friction fit. A known issue with many eco’s.
I’ve got rotrings, Lamys, pilots, kawecos and other brands that are older and much more used, also with friction fit nibs. Even my cheapest chinese pens have this far outlasted my eco😄
