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.
A pen so well built with very resistant materials with a simple and "naked" mechanics, seems to be made to last centuries of life. The orings in plastic material are a contradiction. They could use metallic materials such as bronze which is "self-lubricating" and has always been used in mechanics for its wear resistance. Perhaps calibrating a correct diameter of this part would have required time and higher costs
I agree with you for a different reason Yeah, but it gets dirty. It should be smooth or more space store, thicker jimping. There’s so fine you can’t even get the grit out. V
Hi, such a informative review! 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?
Omg I can’t remember. I think it was a generic background music from my editing program which used storyblocks. From what I remember it gives me a copyright strike but not for this video. Maybe I’m talking over it. I can’t find the audio. I looked it up and it’s not there. It was something like “intense” blah blah. I’m sure it originated from something but I don’t know. I think some others asked and feel it’s cod or something similar
I wanted to point out flex should be a pro beacues they said they made it more felxable so if u drop it or like bend it u can bend it back and if you buy from tactile turn pen and try bending it it will crack soo yea i hawe tactile pen i do not recomend it i would recomen the big idea desing one ive spent over a 1000$ on pens its one of the best soo yea
@cipherxnc77 oh ok. Hmm I get mixed feedback. Some people hate it. I feel it fills in the blank audio space and I try to keep it low in relation so it’s not offensive. But nice to hear it’s ok for some viewers 👍🏻
Different. If you ask me what I prefer? Myself I’m not so picky in which I would say either is bad but they are different. Tactile is longer arc and easier movement and the bigidesign is shorter and stiffer. Almost like a German manual transmission versus some kind of short throw sports car. ua-cam.com/video/Z9EyZ2BSE3I/v-deo.html If you check out my tactile turn review you can see the shape of the bolt channel is different than this. I just used a scale and a wood block to get a numerical measurement that may or may not help. The tactile turn in stock format measured at approx 290g of force before the bolt start to move. The bigidesign took 760g of force. About 2.5x more. Is that significant? Eh.. the thumb is a strong finger. It’s up to you. Perhaps a stiffer spring tension is better for the shorter travel shorter arc of the bigidesign. Now, usually I don’t bother commenting too much of the stock refill. The thing is you can change that, so I feel the stock refill is not so fair in judging a pen. I even feel that about the spring tbh. You could cut down a spring and stretch it out a bit to tune to your liking. Or even swap springs with disposable pens 😅
It’s actually coated titanium. I was corrected. I noticed other reviewers thought it was plastic too. But there is none in the pen 👍🏻 They have a kickstarter now with a slim design that is adjustable but you need a tool.
Argh have to agree. What should I cut out? Maybe I should just do unboxing or overview vids. Ironically my next pen review is even longer and I cut out 10 minutes of it 🥹

6:35 Top Tip of what not to do on this pen.
*Correction* : the inside threading is actually coated titanium which is a PRO in my opinion.
Duh

There’s no plastic on this pen. It’s black coated titanium.
What’s with the background music?? Feels like I’m in the lobby of call of duty multiplayer lol. Btw very cool video.

At 13:40 that piece is not plastic. It's titanium in DLC black.

Not polished. Not tactile turn grooves. Maybe like fine lathe turning
@@WillEDC thanx a lot. so helpful!
The inside threading is coated titanium to increase smoothness, not plastic. Great review!
Oh thanks for the clarification. Hmm well that turns a “con” to a “pro” 🤣
Looks like black plastic
Order 2 1 like your 2 stone washed good rewiew keep up the work
These quality bolt pens are pretty cool. Thanks for the review!
Thanks for stopping by 🙂
No! The piece inside the nose cone is NOT plastic. It’s metal and verified by Big I Design.
That’s correct
Great review. For me, it would be even better without the background Musik. ;-)
There's a Tiffany pen that is smaller than all the above.
What is the background music name?
Omg I can’t remember. I think it was a generic background music from my editing program which used storyblocks. From what I remember it gives me a copyright strike but not for this video. Maybe I’m talking over it.
I can’t find the audio. I looked it up and it’s not there. It was something like “intense” blah blah. I’m sure it originated from something but I don’t know.
I think some others asked and feel it’s cod or something similar
@@WillEDC haha thats ok buddy.. cool music anyway thanks for responding :)
Will you be reviewing their new Slim Bolt Action pen?
Sorry no. Sorry for the late response. I have several bolt pens so I don’t feel the urge for another

what background music is this it sounds like its from call of duty lol
I don’t even know. Some generic background music that’s hopefully doesn’t get a copywrite strike. It’s in the editing software
its not bad though lol I personally like it@@WillEDC
@cipherxnc77 oh ok. Hmm I get mixed feedback. Some people hate it. I feel it fills in the blank audio space and I try to keep it low in relation so it’s not offensive. But nice to hear it’s ok for some viewers 👍🏻
How is the click feeling vs the tactile turn?
Different. If you ask me what I prefer? Myself I’m not so picky in which I would say either is bad but they are different.
Tactile is longer arc and easier movement and the bigidesign is shorter and stiffer. Almost like a German manual transmission versus some kind of short throw sports car.

Great review, but the plastic is a deal breaker for me.

@@WillEDC Sweet. Thank you.
"arthritis people"?
😅
Absurdly long for no reason

Made in China guys
That’s true. If that is a deal killer there are other pens like

The internal threads and collet are made of coated titanium.
