@Hans -- Sorry, upon further investigation your pens have not been shipped. We sent you an email September 11th, 2012 regarding the fact that you needed to pay for international shipping ($13). Your pens are ready to go. You can paypal us at ti2pen@yahoo.com. Best, Mike
Creator Mike Bond on January 16
@Hans -- Your pens were shipped back in July. I will send you a message.
Creator Hans de Wolf on January 16
I still have not received the pens. Sometimes shipping to the Netherlands can take a long time, but this is taking too long, so something may have gone wrong. Do you have a tracking number that can check?
Creator Mike Bond on January 15
@Houston -- Tip should not touch. I will message you.
Creator Houston Keil-Vine on January 12
@Bosco
I just wanted to say that I was also one of the first wave of backers, and that my refills have also been "breaking" not to they extent of yours but it feels like my cap is a little big (on the inside) and the pen has enough room to slide and push the pen tip back into the pen. This results in a damaged refill. Lucky, Ive never had ink come out! I just lose the ability to use that refill.
@mike
I dont know if it would be possible to RMA/purchase another lid, but I would love to stop this!
Thanks again for making an (otherwise) fantastic pen!
Creator Roger Brown on December 22
I just ordered two pens: one silver and one polished. $7 shipping/order. Can the two orders be combined to save shipping (so I'll have more money for your upcoming projects--whatever they may be?)
Creator Scot Levine on December 11
Great pen Mike..but have to agree with others... the pen is very delicate. Mine is already scuffed up. Still Love it though. Just keep that in mine for future projects!
Creator Kevin Flynn on November 12, 2012
Really love the pen, perfect wt and size for me. Only suggestion I have is that you put a notch in the tube to lock the clip in one place. With the black pen because I have been enjoying it I have noticed that where the clip touches the shaft there is a smooth line appearing from wear. If you put a dent in the tube and a matching dent in the clip you could lock them into one spot and avoid the changing position causing wear. Or I could stop fiddling with it... :)
Creator Mike Bond on November 9, 2012
@Rob -- Good to hear. Commerce site coming soon.
@Bosco -- Whoa.. How many wheaties are you eating? :) The HiTEC is a delicate refill, but have not heard of anyone snapping them.
Creator Rob Grimsey on November 8, 2012
My Crucible Edition arrived today, I've been writing notes with it all day - it's a great little pen and I'm really happy with my purchase. You guys have done so well with the design on this, it's a work of modern design art!
I'll be looking to order another in future, if/when they are available.
Creator Bosco Tung on November 8, 2012
I realize that I'm one of the first batches of Ti2 pen...and while it was awesome at first....there was one fatal flaw: the pen refill kept BREAKING!!!!
Thought it might have just been an issue with one refill, but after having gone through 3 of them, and an expensive bag that's soaked in blue ink...I'm so sad :(
It's now just sitting there on my shelf, with no insides, and I'm too scared to use it again. It's just the pen-refill tip that keeps breaking off, I don't know if that's solvable?
I had intended to use it for a while and give it as a gift, but how could I ever gift it if I knew the pen refills breaks so easily?
Creator Dion Wichmann on October 30, 2012
Mike came through in under 12 hours. Awesome service & I'll be sending you an email/order for a pen of my own after barely being able to hand my first one off to its intended recipient. Superkudos!
Creator Dion Wichmann on October 29, 2012
Hi Mike! Wow! What a fantastic pen! The colour is amazing & the quality is astounding. One thing though: no clip. I got the spare refill & a baggie with the spare o-rings and a tip but couldn't find a clip in the parcel nor on the pen. Did I miss something?
Creator Mike Bond on October 27, 2012
@ - Darren, You are one of the few who got the original TM bio black versions with known issues as outlined in our September 12th email to you. We are happy to swap you out with the current PVD version.
@ - Brys, Thanks for the kind words.
@ - Ultra, We may have a solution for you. Will Send you a PM.
@ - Miles, Thanks!
Creator Darren Myers on October 27, 2012
Hey Mike, i received my pen a few weeks back, the black $125 backing. I have noticed some significant imperfections, how can we resolve this?
Creator Brys on October 25, 2012
Received my black edition this afternoon and couldn't be happier with it! The black finish is gorgeous and the pen feels wonderful to hold. The display case is also extremely well done and (silly as it may be) I was delighted that it ended up matching the color and finish of my desk so well. It fits right in. :)
My only regret is that I didn't add on an additional black tip - I went with the normal tip to match the clip (which definitely looks awesome), but now kinda wish I could mix and match. Will definitely be on the lookout for the storefront for that and most likely another pen.
Creator UltraSeven on October 22, 2012
Got my Burnt Sienna Crucible today. The pen looks awesome and feels awesome. But... the finish is very delicate! Within 20 minutes of normal usage at my desk the finish is already scuffed up. The finish is not what it should be for a pen of otherwise fine quality. Disappointed. :(
Creator mpechner on October 20, 2012
Some minor mods and mine is sporting a fisher cartridge.
Spare plastic straw from a water bottle. Is a liner. Fits in the pen body perfectly. The fisher cartridge fits in it perfectly. Insert it into the body.
Not get a spring from a old clicky pen over the tip of the cartidge.
Find something to act as a spacer at the back of the pen have the correct amount of the cartridge sticking out.
These comment sections need the ability to post pictures.
Creator Miles on October 18, 2012
Received my black edition pen today - OH WOW does it look and feel AMAZING. Drooooool... So glad I ordered a black one. Thanks Mike - these pens are a daily staple for me now (I have four).
Creator Nathan McIntyre on October 10, 2012
I received my gun metal Crucible yesterday, and it was worth the wait. Kudos on a great product Mike! My sincere thanks to you, Marlie, and everyone else who helped with the Ti2 project.
Creator Yves Claessens on October 2, 2012
Mike, just wanted to say that I love this pen... I jumped into this project when it was nearly completed, but haven't regretted this impulse-buy. On the contrary, the pen is fantastic and I can't seem to put it down.
Great job.
Creator Eliel Faber on September 30, 2012
Ti2 pen is absolutely amazing!! Does anyone make laser engrave on it ? Is it work without damage the finish ?
Creator Mike Bond on September 28, 2012
@Roger - Glad to hear you liked the pen. Box only needs tilting back about 45 degrees to raise the pen.
Creator Roger Brown on September 28, 2012
The pen is perfect--everything I had dared to hope for, yet even more elegant!
The rosewood coffin (presentation box) jams, refusing to open and yield the pen. Inverting the box works, but is inelegant. The box arrived without shipping damage, so I'm guessing this is a design or QC issue. Please advise.
Creator Mike Bond on September 25, 2012
@Fabio - We are developing a commerce web site but until then we are accepting orders and payment through paypal. Drop us a private message with what your looking to get and we will take care of you.
Creator Fabio Pettinati on September 24, 2012
when will people be able to place additional orders beyond the original pledge?
Creator Anson Chiu on September 24, 2012
for anyone still experiencing drying-up problems...
Stealing the little rubber tip-gasket from the cheap original plastic caps (from G-TEC) and installing it into the titanium caps of the Ti2 does the trick!!!
*note*- use very fine needle-nose pliers and a bright LED light to see into the Titanium cap ;)
Creator Mike Bond on September 24, 2012
@Fahad - clips are still available, I will PM you
@ Anson - great idea. We'll see what we can do.
@Dion - polished versions are polished and waiting for color approval. We are getting real close. Check out update 33 for what they look like prior to anodizing.
Creator Fahad on September 23, 2012
Just got my Ti2 pen and loving it! Just regretting not getting a clip!! Is it too late to order one now?
Creator Anson Chiu on September 22, 2012
another idea... how about using the same Ti2 body, and creating an option to screw-in a stylus tip for my iPad ;)
Creator Dion Wichmann on September 22, 2012
Any word on the polished crucibles? Every awesome review makes me a little more eager for my pen to arrive.
Creator Mike Bond on September 20, 2012
@Paul - Your comments are well received here at Ti2, thank you.
@Bjorn - I believe there is some HiTECs that are "overfilled".. We have a bunch of test mules, and I have seen that issue with one refill. Good news, the problem went away after a few solid writing sessions.
@Charles - Glad yours came in good order.
@Matthew - We have kicked the idea around...
@Darren - Awesome!
Creator Paul Carpenter on September 19, 2012
I've been using my Ti2 for a week or so now and it is quite wonderful to use. The Pilot refill writes great and is perfect for both writing and sketching. Beyond that, the pen has that tactile and visual simplicity that puts it into that category of "simply nice to hold" objects. I find myself picking it up and simply taking the cap on and off, or rolling it between my fingers because it is enjoyable to sense the precision. Much like my iPhone, the Ti2 is just great to hold and use. Done right, simple is better. Nice work.
Creator Bjorn on September 18, 2012
Just got the awesomest pen in the mail today! I love every it of it. I did encounter a tiny problem. Because I store my pen upright (or is it down right) with the clip, I noticed a tiny blob of ink collecting at the tip if the pen every time I open the cap. I reckon that's what the rubber nob within the cap of the original pen cap was meant to prevent. Am I the only one with this problem? Is it a problem with the refill? Anyone?
Creator Charles A. on September 15, 2012
Ditto, my Ti2 Black Eddition came in yesterday and it looks badass!!! I will keep an eye on it and follow up if the finish changes.
Creator Matthew Cavanaugh on September 14, 2012
Wow, love the pen! Ever given any thought to a TI mechanical pencil? If so I'll back it :P
Creator Darren Myers on September 14, 2012
@Mike Bond : i got your message via kickstarter then some pens were not up to quality, but i gotta tell ya. The one i received is PERFECT and i love it! It and its wooden box have a permanent place on my desk.
Thanks for all your hard work, i will be certain to return for more pens in the future.
Creator Tobias on September 12, 2012
Received the pen yesterday (Germany) and everything worked fine with transport, really nice pen, I love to write and draw with it :)
Creator Charles A. on September 11, 2012
Awesome update Ti team that means I am now just days away from receiving my Ti2 Black Edition!
Creator Gabriel Uherhewar on September 5, 2012
Mike, job well done. I've just received mine and it's amazing. I can't tell you just how much I'm looking forward to receiving my second pen when it is completed. Thanks, Gabe
Creator Irawan on September 5, 2012
Just got it today (Indonesia), really love it. Best pen I have ever backed (received) at KS. Thanks Mike. So, what is your next project ?
Creator Scott Marshall on September 5, 2012
Love the pen, but I had an issue with the ink leaking onto the surface of the pen and tissues just made it worse. If this happens to you, don't panic, just use alcohol swabs and it comes right off
Creator Miles on September 4, 2012
Mine arrived today - absolutely blown away with how well these are made! Mike, you've outdone yourself! Bead-blasted finish is exceptional and flawless and the clips are absolutely perfect. I couldn't be happier! Thank you.
Creator Halina Kaja Mydin on September 4, 2012
From Malaysia! Thank you for the very nice pen!
Creator Ken's Lil' Sister on September 4, 2012
Mike, just got back from a few areas in Kenya which had no net so the pen was once again mighty. Your pen was the mightiest of all, I was offered shield, bangles and even a chieftains rungu for mt pen. It was a sure hit!
Creator Fan Zhang on September 4, 2012
Another Aussie here - happy to report that I've received it! Nicely textured & weighted - feels great to use! Cap comes off with a nice pop :)
Also, not sure if anyone has noticed this earlier, but the Uni-ball Signo UM-151 refills will fit nicely in the Ti2 pen. The downside is that the Ti2 titanium tip won't fit over the pen nib, so you need to use the original tip from the Signo & even then, there is a small gap (<1mm) between the tip & the pen shaft even when fully tightened. The cap still fits on nicely though.
Thanks very much to Mike & team for a really great product!
Creator Mike Bond on September 3, 2012
@Daniel+Bernard -- awesome news, glad to hear we are arriving internationally.
@Michael -- Sorry we missed your attempts, not sure how that happened. Check out the post by Angus, Jetpens.com is a great online resource for refills.
Creator Angustimus on September 3, 2012
@ Michael Fishman
It sounds like it was only the tip that got broken. You can order replacement Hi Tec-C cartridges from Jetpens.com and other places online. This should get it back to good as new.
Creator Bernard Tang on September 3, 2012
just recieved the pen in australia, Thank YOU!!!
Creator Michael Fishman on September 2, 2012
My pen dropped off the table with the cap off and the tip completely got smashed in. I can no longer use the pen. I tried to contact Mike thru Kickstarter messages and FB messages, but no response. Please let me know what I can do.
