What's The Best Refill for the Ohto Horizon Pen?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 гру 2018
- Looking for the best refill for the popular Ohto Horizon ( amzn.to/2rdQDAQ ) pen? It's going to take some research because the Horizon (often called the "Horizon EU") uses a slightly weird refill that generally found on multi-pens, even though it's definitely NOT a multi-pen.
Here are some suggestions:
- Uni S-7S refill - amzn.to/2RsRtVW
- Pilot Hi-Tec-C LHSRF-8C Gel Pen Refill - amzn.to/2SqZNpf
- Pilot BTRF-6F Ballpoint Pen Refill - amzn.to/2Qz2fMY

I have found that with a slight amount of work the refill for the uni style + fit (UMR-109-05) to be the best. It is a gel refill with a 0.5 mm size and plenty of colors to choose from, with a low price point. All you have to do is cut the refill to match the stock size, which it does without having to worry about hitting the ink level. Then just crimp wings into the plastic with a pair of needle nose pliers. Just make sure to do so at the same spot as the stock refill and you will be fine.
Nice videos. I personally love the budget stuff your doing. Lots of people do fountain pens which is fine. But I like your refill stuff and cheap pen videos keep it up
Yeah I suppose you're right. The roller balls and ballpoints are cheaper and more practical. And we need more reviews on them. Keep up the great work Sal!
Hey Sal! Thanks for showing different refill options for pen. I only knew about the hi tec c refill. Definitely will check them out :D
Jet Pens also has a list compatible refills for various pens. Like others have said, I’m glad I ran across this channel since you show really nice but inexpensive pens. I was going a little crazy for awhile craving solid gold nibbled fountain pens.
Sal, I just wanted to share a hack for this pen. Once the pilot super grip g xb refills have used enough ink you can cut it down to the size of the ohto refill. Then apply tape around the refill where the 'ears' are on the ohto refill. You can now use a pilot xb in the ohto!
Dude. You have saved me a huuuge headache. I've been buying all thr ohtos .5 to get to fit. No help until I saw your video. Thank you thank you.
Thank you so very much for putting this info out there. I have 2 OHTo pens and I live the pen but dislike the gritty performance of the oil based ink and roller ball.
Thank you so much for the review!! I love the appearance of this pen but couldn't stand the original refill (not a fan of ballpoint pen). After watching your review, I change the refill to the Pilot Gel you suggested and it gives the pen a new life.
Recently, a relative of this pen, namely "OHTO Horizon Gel 0.5mm" comes out. I'm wondering if you know whether they share the same refills.
I’m currently using a Jetstream SXR-80-05 from a Jetstream 4&1 pen. I had to wrap tape around it several times for the spring to catch, but it’s totally worth the effort to be able to write with Jetstream ink in this pen!
Agree. I'm using the Jetstream SXR-80-07 refils - bit thicker line. But great ink.
I purchased this pen as well as both the Uni S-7S ballpoint and Pilot Hi-Tec-C Slim gel refills. I wasn't interested in just another oil-based ink refill, so I decided not to get the BTRF. I agree with Sal regarding the look of the Uni's refill tip in this particular pen which I prefer over that of the needlepoint. However, I'm much more interested in how the ink looks on paper, so the Hi-Tec-C gets my vote. I find it leaves a more darker and consistent line, even at its 0.4 mm tip size. I also find that the blue and blue-black produces a more richer ink line than the black; go figure! Again, thanks for the video!
I am soooo into pens of all types. Some would say it's the geek in me and to them I would say it's more about my perfectionist ways and my willingness to search for the next best thing. Thanks again!
Great Video!! Getting addicted to your videos.!! 👍
I’m looking for a blue ink refill compatible with Ohto PG-105NP.
Would you have any suggestions? Thank you!
I find myself buying all the pens you review! Feels like I have a problem. Have you considered reviewing more fountain pens? I know I would love to see more fountain pen reviews.
Hi! very interesting videos...
Are those refills the same type/size as Schneider Expres 75 or Pelikan 37?
Thanks.
Hi Sal,
I just got an Ohto MF-20K3B off of ebay, do you know if the refills are the same size as the refills you showed here for the Horizon?
It does have a nice click. If this pen took the Zebra Surari emulsion refill, this pen would be high on my list.
i guess im asking the wrong place but does anybody know of a tool to get back into an Instagram account..?
I was dumb forgot the login password. I would appreciate any assistance you can offer me!
@Andy Hank Instablaster :)
@Alexander Cyrus I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and im trying it out now.
I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Alexander Cyrus it worked and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy:D
Thanks so much, you saved my ass :D
@Andy Hank You are welcome =)
Great video!!!!
I love the pen!!!
Where could I find the Uni S-7S 0.7 online? I can't seem to find it on Amazon.
How top heavy is it does it distract?
Hey Sal, just found a Gel refill for the Horizon made by Ohto - PG-105NP. Might be worth checking out and doing an updated video 😁
@@unsharpen I found a seller on eBay selling these along with the Ohto Horizon, which is why I thought of you. But I think it might be a different pen altogether. I've ordered the refills at the moment, but might just order the pen too.
@@paperspeaksco Did it fit? I'm interested as well!
@@romainorsat8267 Hey Romain, I think I got sent the wrong refill. But I've found the PILOT LHSRF-8C4-L refill does the job. All the same smooth inkflow you get from a Hi-Tec C in a smaller format
The PG 105NP was previously known as the PG 805NP. And is very different in shape and size. Has no wings, however still might fit due to the thicker part of the refill body. I can't see any reason for it not to fit, but I haven't tested it. Where I buy mine from in the UK both the ballpoint and Gel version pen bodies are the same. Except the gel pen has no side mounted return button. I'll be checking this out.
i will be really impressed with you if you can find a refill for the pilot frixion multipens that does not have erasable ink
Have you tried the refill from any other pilot multi pen, like an acro?
@@unsharpen thank you for your response, i've been thinking about the acro for a long time but don't want to place an order where i'm just buying one refill so that is the only thing holding me back, that acro might be my last hope before i do a refill hack which i really don't like doing, unless it's something really simple, my hacks for multi pens like the pilot dr grip frixion is keeping the part of the original refill that sticks into the hole and then cutting my preferred refill down to size and then taping them together which can look a bit awkward sticking out and of course you can't click them out like the normal refill so that fun part is taken away, but the hack does improve my experience with the pen
i will mention that the Zebra EQ Surari refill works perfectly with the Uni-ball RE3, all you have to do is cut it down to size, but again the clicking part is taken away, you can still click it but the refill remains sticking out but it's a fun and excellent refill compared to the dumb refill Uni-ball gives you, erasable ink from the company that constantly brags about their document proof ink, very confusing to me why they don't have a regular refill for the RE3f
thank you pen friend
Not sure if you still have this pen, but does your click mechanism get stuck sometimes? Just got one from Amazon and it sticks, won’t retract the refill without a nudge. Anyways, love the reviews!
Sal thanks for the reply! Must have gotten a dud
When you order these items from Japan on eBay do you ever have to pay an import tax or any fees?
Maybe depending on which country you live, but in the US, I've never paid any extra fees or import duties.
If only there was a gel refill that had a wider tip than 0.4 that fit
But.....all are unavailable on Amazon. You sold them out. Lol. Any other ideas ? Thank you
Have you tried a pen store- jetpens etc?
@Unsharpen actually.y apologies mate. I did happen to find what I needed. Your video still made it possible. Cheers!
Cheapest is $17, nicer colors (like this blue, yellow and orange) are all $25 :-/
Too bad, looks cool.
You should be able to find them on random sites for like $10.
I bought mine from jetpens.com
