How about turning a supermarket pen into a $200 pen in a few seconds ?
This proposal is no joke. Mont Blanc pens are the best in the world, thanks to their incredible ink.
But the brand proved to be very clever. She offered ink refills that only work on Mont Blanc pens.
Fortunately, today there is a trick to bypass this system:
Go to a Mont Blanc store and ask the salesperson to test a pen. Not bad, is it? The ink is of such high quality that it feels like the pen is writing on its own.
Now ask for the price. It hurts, huh? Buying a pen worth between 200 and 2000 € was out of reach for ordinary mortals...until now.
Buy a Mont Blanc ink refill for €8 and a G2 Pro Pilot pen for a few euros. Why a G2? Because it is the only one compatible with the Mont Blanc refill.
Open the G2 and remove the ink refill.
Slightly cut off the blue plastic cap of the Mont Blanc refill with a knife or scissors. The goal is for the Mont Blanc refill to be exactly the same length as the G2 refill.
Reassemble the G2 pen with its new Mont Blanc cartridge. If you can't close it, repeat step 4 by cutting a little more.
Now write and enjoy magic ink.
For those who say "yes but it's not a Mont Blanc", you are right. But if you think about it, Mont Blanc is the leader for its ink...
...And thanks to this trick, that's what you'll be using from now on:the best ink in the world.
If you want to show everyone that you use Mont Blanc ink, choose a transparent G2;-)
