For anyone who has exams coming up or just wants a great quality and comfortable writing pen but doesn't want to break the bank then this is a fantastic deal.

(Mont Blanc branded rollerballs can write for up to 10,000 metres, have a silicon plug insert to prevent air bubbles, are hand-inspected under a microscope and go for £200+ !!)

This is the source of the deal but is aimed at Americans. I saw this cool video on Instructables

and then on Wired

and thought I would give it a try. I've been using my Mont Blanc G2 for a few months now and it is great!

Firstly you need to get your hands on a Pilot g2 Gel Pen. Pilot G2 pens are pretty good quality for the price and I find them very comfortable to use. You might have a spare G2 pen already as they are pretty popular or maybe get it off a friend making it cheaper.

These seemed the best value from Amazon UK

at (£4.69 for a pack of 3 delivered)

Secondly

purchase these refills from www.wheelersluxurygifts.com.

When you get them just cut off the plastic end and swap it over with the ink in the G2. It is so simple and you can feel smug as knowing you've got a £200+ pen for under £10. LOL.

Both companies offer free postage and are the genuine product (there are a lot of fakes about on marketplace and ebay so be careful)

£12.39 for both if you need to buy the G2's but they are pretty good as pens anyway. Hope someone gives it a go and find it as good as I have found it!
