$200 pen. Paid $16.

[ThePatrician]

So today I did this. I bought a Montblanc refill and put it in a Pilot G2. I am gobsmacked by how smoothly it writes! I have a Pilot Gel in a tac-pen and love it, but I think this Montblanc-Pilot hybrid might usurp it as my favorite pen. I almost feel like I'm cheating Montblanc out of some money, but I will be jiggered if this pen just doesn't blow my flipping mind!

Funny I put in a Parker refill in my montblanc but will do this for work so I don't mess up my good pen.

I'm afraid it doesn't have the same "look" in the pocket.

Really cool idea though.

So if I put Montblanc Royal Blue in my Kaigelu, does that mean its a 149 now?

A pen that leaks really expensive ink on you.

The cost of MB refills is ridiculous. It makes the pilot an expensive pen to operate.

Indeed.
This is a cool mod, but since my office supplies G2s, it would get lost in the mix.

So I stick with Lamy. Nobody else wants to use the FP.

I know, that's where I got the idea. And it totally worked. I used some sandpaper to take off the G-2 logo from the clip to help identify it so it doesn't get lost in the jar.

As I am sure mine may have been too.

You know you could wrap it in duck tape and save even more money....that would be the "Duck Dynasty" model....

I like the G2 better than the MB refill, so I put a G2 in my MB. More bling with a cheaper refill that writes better.

 

[jmsodpc]

G2 is my favorite ink....i use that refill in a Rotring http://www.ebay.com/itm/ROTRING-FRE...168?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3a6b680860

 

[ThePatrician]

Because of its rather homely exterior I feel that the G2 doesn't get as much love as it deserves. Having worked in a few offices I've seen people sneer at it as being cheap and low-quality, but it's consistently outperformed their higher-end pens. Doing this, to me, is merely elevating a surprisingly comfortable body. It is still one of the smoothest-writing pens I've used. The MB cartridge merely takes it to another level.

I like to use a classic Parker Jotter pen, but don't like the ballpoint refill it comes with. I replace it with a Parker Rollerball refill. The fit is perfect and the rollerball writes like a dream--all for about $10.

Now that's an idea, I've always found the MB refills to be lousy.
