Should The Olight O’Pen Mini Be Your Next EDC Pen? • The O’Pen Mini Bolt Action Pen Review

[@paulmchugh1430]

I am glad you are reviewing a ballpoint pen, James. This is quite interesting and a nice resin. It is great that it uses standard Parker style refills. It is certainly worth considering.

I was in finance for decades. A pen was my tool of the trade. I used the Cross Ion, and the fisher space pen. I preferred the space pen for the refills(Canadian weather alone) - and the convenience of having the bullet in my pocket at all times... But I did not enjoy using it. I prefer a zebra 701 with a space pen refill - and make space in the pocket so I save the cramps while writing, and beyond.

I wish I could have gotten the black one and the orange one. I have the purple and a few OD green ones. I love this little pen. I carry it either in my pocket or on my Leatherman sheath. I also have one in my EDC pouch that I carry in a backpack, that has a few tools and first aid stuff. I hope they come out with a lime green and a blue Open Mini. I have the same color Victorinox Rambler on a locking carabiner, with a OD Green IXV keychain olight and I put it on my belt lupe. I have a blue set of the Victorinox Rambler and blue IR2 Pro on another locking carabiner for a different color. I normally wear the blue for casual carry and the green for work.

I thought for sure that brass cap on the top was going to have some sort of practical function. I was very confused at first.

Me, too.

Hi! Can you tell me if that gorgeous little pen's refills are the same size as the Lamy M22 refill? (Also, I reckon you could stick a small circular magnet on the top - that would be very handy!) Super review, and many thanks. 🌻

[@JG3Reviews]

Thanks! I won't fit directly, but if you have access to a 3D printer you can print this adapter and it will work: www.thingiverse.com/thing:4592224

Thanks for amazing review.

[@dstdrummer]

I believe the Schmidt 8126 Mini will work also.

[@masterofreality230]

gonna get the adapter so I can use space pen refills in the o light

[@dstdrummer]

ADAPTOR? I’m going to look that up. First thing I did when I got this pen was check if the Fisher would work. I was bummed when it wouldn’t. 👍🏽

[@dstdrummer]

Aaahhh It’s the D1 adaptor. I saw that already. I thought it was for the PR4 refill.

[@donbrownist]

At first I thought you were serious. Then I realized you were just being sarcastic. Look forward to your review of #2 pencils.

[@JG3Reviews]

Oh no, it was a serious review. But I can see why I might be taken as if I'm kidding. And I actually have a couple of #2 pencils worthy of review. 🤣 A couple of the jokes I put it were photo based, and I don't know what happened, but they aren't in the uploaded video even though they are in final Lumavision file and should have been in the uploaded render. Very odd. They were a NYDEC game warden with a hunter decked in orange and an HTC M8 I lost while hunting that, when found, had wild boar snot and a nose print on the screen (when I said, "Sometimes I lose things.")

Nifty little inexpensive writer . Orange 🍊 sounds good.

[@LordThree]

I don’t really see a link to the refills

[@cuneytsonmez]

No skipping at the beginning of writing. That's nice.

[@vixercrouchrichter]

is it water resist?

[@JG3Reviews]

The pen or the ink? The pen should be quite water resistant, and the ink is ballpoint, which usually performs well, too.

[@vixercrouchrichter]

@@JG3Reviews pen itself. Is it water resist/sweat resist? Because i always carry a pen tucked on my underwear. I once had a zebra pen and it sort of fades because of my sweat.

[@maximusdecimus222]

Hello, I am cuorious about refill cartridges for mini. Can I use third party ones, are there some to find on ebay, or I need to order Olight ones? Thank you

[@JG3Reviews]

I’ve just used the Olight, but I believe the Schmidt 8126 mini refill also works (one user said they run out quickly).

[@maximusdecimus222]

@@JG3Reviews Thank you for the update 👌
