Hey eala, let me know if you need me to get you any fineliners or rollerballs. i might be 10 timezones away but no problem if you need me to ship them to you. Good thing I have 3 Montblanc boutiques nearby, and these Alpha pens are fabulous. Going to compare it with my Ti-bolt when I finally get my hands on it

Figured it out. Called the local MontBlanc boutique in Toronto. They are shipping to me. Thanks for the offer!
Also, just got my shipping notice. YA!

I added small orings to the brass screw and to the cap threads. This does two things:
1. Seals the light in case I drop it into a vat of sulphuric acid (not that unlikely actually).
2. Dampens the cap closures. Makes it feel less mechanical. Really like the feel of removing and replacing the cap now.
YMMV

Hi eala, what size o-rings did you use? I did the same thing with a couple of Hinderer Investigator pens I've got; the other benefit is that the cap is much less likely to unscrew itself in your pocket (not that this is a big problem with the Alpha pen), and I'd like to try the same.
Cheers,
Matt
Stupid clips delaying the whole shebang... I am so antsy for my pen! :huh:
Just grabbed the smallest and thinnest in my box o rings. 7.9mm in OD and 5.9mm in ID (1mm thick). Really should be a hair smaller, but they work. eala
