First Impression: Ti Click EDC Pen

In this video I take a closer look at a titanium click pen from BigIDesign, called the TI Click EDC. The pen came to be through a successful Kickstarter campaign in 2018. I received the pen a week or so ago and decided to give my first impression.

On this pen, the spring has different size openings at each end. When using smaller Parker G2 size refills, the smaller end of the spring should be facing the refill. When using larger Pilot G2 or rollerball refills, the larger end of the spring should be facing the refill. Just something to note.

[@BenGeldreich]

Hey Brian! Thanks for the comment! I have the Pocket Pro and I know the spring on that pen is as you described but didn't realize it was the same with the Click EDC! Appreciate you sharing that with everyone!

[@JAMESWUERTELE]

I originally bought the stonewashed and loved it so much that I had to order the black! I’ll have both of these almost a year in December and I use them both daily! Absolutely doesn’t leave my sight!

[@BenGeldreich]

Hey James!! Thanks for the comment. Out of curiosity what ink do you use. I love my pen but the ink it came with ghosts a lot and has a tendency to a spill ink on the page a bit too much for my liking.

[@tjack...]

Thanks for the review. You've managed to influence me into getting one,so I've bought. Liked and subscribed.

[@BenGeldreich]

Hey TJ, Congrats on your new pen!! Let me know your thoughts once it arrives!

[@zezem]

I have all three finishes. On later models the self adjusting collet is somehow different. It has a desire to catch on the ridge of certain refills where the nib is attached to the cartridge. It depends on how far the ridge is from the tip. I actually returned one pen before I worked out the solution. The spring on my Ti Bolt version was slightly stiffer. I swapped it over and there was no more catching as the ridge passed the collet. BigIdesign have been fantastic and I hope they either put in a slightly stronger spring or alert customers who have found certain refills don't retract smoothly. Awesome pens. Now I just have to push it a tad harder to get it to operate seamlessly.

Hey Vindinu Jayawardana! Thanks for the comment and the sub! Appreciate the feedback!

[@ayb365]

Thanks for the review. Pls do post an update as to whether the grease solved the click-grit.

[@BenGeldreich]

Hey ef kay!!! Thanks for the comment and request! Once I receive the grease I'll post a video on the process of taking the pen apart, applying the grease and my impressions after a few days of use. I'll send you a message once the video is up! Enjoy the weekend!

Solution for pen wiggle: If your pen wiggles at the rubber rings, and the beginning of the tip ( this could be because you are using a longer refil, at least I do) I suggest you putting some basic cello tape around the rubber rings. Nothing fancy, just some tape. This fixes the pen wiggle, and it's a much more substainable solution than shoving the extra rubber rings you get down the tip...trust me. Also, it doesn't make any crinkling sound, like I though it would. Remember, the wiggle migth be the ink cartridge inside. TO SUM UP: Pen wiggles, put cello tape around the end of the barrel, migth take two layers. It's going to be difficult to screw in, but that's good. I hope I helped.

[@BenGeldreich]

Thanks for the tip!

[@j1scott2s]

Great review! Is the threaded portion in the tip of the pin made out of plastic? It looks like plastic in the video.

[@BenGeldreich]

Hey James! I wasn’t 100% sure so I wrote Chadwick from bigideadesign and he said “Hi Ben,That part is made from dlc coated titanium, we coat it for a smoother action, hope that helps!”

[@user-fo7es5gk9d]

Hi, enjoyed the video. How's the texture of surface? Does it have the characteristic roughness of titanium which is very useful for giving some proper friction with your fingers?

[@BenGeldreich]

Thanks for the comment! I think the brushed titanium finish might have a better grip than my polished version. You should see all the finishes on their website.

[@user-fo7es5gk9d]

[@thomasbechard]

The logo is on the inside of the clip. Just a fun Easter egg.

[@BenGeldreich]

Thanks for sharing

[@Gdolwell]

if the pen is short on your favorite refill add a spacer.

[@BenGeldreich]

Hey fourgos!! Thanks for the comment. What type of spacer?

[@rupalkumari5389]

Can it be converted to a mechanical pencil using schmidt mechanical pencil converter given its versatility in term of taking in refills ? Has anyone tried it ?

[@BenGeldreich]

Great question. I’d suggest writing big idea design and seeing what they say. I’d be curious to know what they say.

[@rupalkumari5389]

@@BenGeldreich I have ordered two of these pens and have the Bastion Mechanical Pencil which uses the Schmidt Internal Mechanism. Will try myself when the pen arrives and update !

Hi, did the grease work?

[@BenGeldreich]

Yes it did! They actually sent me a new mechanism as well which had way more grease on it and worked wonderfully!

[@betancoubarker8474]

You try to give the video more brightness it will be great if you do

[@BenGeldreich]

As in more light? Do you find it too dark?

[@ephemeralnihilist]

Bigidesign logo is on the pen . just hidden 🤘😎

[@BenGeldreich]

I’m a big fan of when companies choose an elegant solution vs a in your face marketing decision when speaking about logos.

I am a kid and I love this I tell my dad to buy minutes a go love from bangladesh

[@BenGeldreich]

Sounds good!

[@bjc2430]

Where is this made?

[@BenGeldreich]

Hey Brian C!! I believe all the components are made in China. I’m not 100% sure on that so I’d suggest emailing the creators of the pen at [e-mail]. Hope that helps!!

[@magicscorner]

Yes, this is superb, but TBH, Who uses pens today? How is it going to be in the next few years?

[@BenGeldreich]

I use a pen all the time. I see your point though. It’s probably a decreasing market.

[@viv_2489]

Pen has its own importance.. there are many rising pen lovers now...

[@thewatcher9778]

Damn sad I guess I'm one of those people that wants the click to be auditable

[@BenGeldreich]

Yeah it’s a very well made pen! All metal parts minus some o rings and very light weight ... but the clicking mechanism is my least favourite part. Wish it made a noise. Although those around me probably appreciate the lack of clicking noise when I’m fiddling with it. LOL.

[@Deadpoolmasterchief]

Even if I was rich I’d never spend that much money on a pen 🖊 damn kickstarters

[@BenGeldreich]

Fair enough!

[@Hohmies86]

Didn’t even write on paper🙄

[@BenGeldreich]

Hey Hohmies Mcfly! Would writing on a piece of paper help you to make a better decision about purchasing this pen? I didn’t include any of that footage as the Ti EDC click pen can use over 100 different ink cartridges / refills and the review was about the pen itself, not the ink that came with the pen. Are you looking for an ink cartridge review or a suggestion of which type of ink to purchase for this pen?

[@ottohonkala6861]

Made in China....for $100+, yeah, naaahh

[@BenGeldreich]

To each their own! I love this pen and use it often. My only complaints after the years of use is that my hands prefer a thiner pen! Do you have a favourite pen Otto?
