What happens when you don't keep the trekker pen capped? Any decrease in life of pen? Plan to attach to retractable reel so won't be capped

I keep my cap on, so I can't directly answer the question. However, the ink flow stays steady throughout the life of the cartridge and doesn't run or gum up like some other pens.

I've been using this brand of pen for years - cap on, cap off, works perfectly - never had a problem. Only thing I've noticed when leaving the cap off is you'll probably pick up a little dust/dirt on the tip. But overall, best I've used.

The cap is used to attach the refill to the pen. You can reuse those caps on most pens.

My answer is no because as you wind up the reel the plug end continues to rotate. Otherwise, the reel works as promised and makes for easy and organized storing. Jerry BJerry

There is a "nose-cone" tip that unscrews. ... Just stupid simple ... There is a tension spring but the insert (refill cartridge) does not retract ... It is just covered by the cap. ... The cap (with the ring monunted on it) snaps on (does not screw on) ... I read that some people lost their pen because the cap did not retain the main body of the pen ... I bought it anyway ... I lost mine, within a week ... This is a fairly short pen ... The cartrige does not use the PARKER Compatability extension adapter, that comes with each refill, because this is not a full length pen (but is long enough for normal, comfort and control).

Yes, I recommend getting a case that has a holder for the pen, as that's how I lost the first one one the magnetic part... Fell off walking to the house, ordered a new one found the old one a week later. -typical-

I keep a type cover attached to the Surface and the stylus pen on the end inside the carrying case. It is a close fit, so I am careful when unzipping the cover that I don't knock the pen off and lose it. I also am able to store the charging cable in the zipper pocket. There would be room left in the pocket yet for a couple of flash drives and/or a mini-mouse. The handle is secure, but not sturdy enough as far as I am concerned to be carrying all that weight around a lot. I really like the case, but use it mainly to keep everything together and for safe storage. If I wanted to use the handle to tote the Surface, etc., as if it were a briefcase, I probably would look for a different case.

I also had this issue. I have a TON of Pilot G-2 pens (the pens that the refill with the stylus fits) and I simply took one of their springs out and put it in my pen. Works like a charm. No more play or travel in the ink cartridge....

Look for your lost cap. I don't think you can find one that will fit.It will last for many, many years without the cap.USB connectors are very forgiving.

REAL good question!! I am in love with this pen but worry if there is a replacement tip so I have looked and am sorry to report thru my search if it wears out we are S.O.L. If you find one PLEASE let me know

Remove the cap with the extra tips in it and set aside. This end of the pen will come off but it's pretty tight. I had some difficulty with it and actually found myself using my teeth to pull it out the first time. Once it's off, you can fill it with the acetone.

It will store two insulin pens with the caps off. I've done that. I've had two Novolog pens in mine without problems.

I put it away, but I think there's a little clip Daiwa puts on its reels to hold the line. If the line is jumping off the reel, perhaps you wound it backwards. There are instructive youtubes, in case this may be a possibility. It's easier to understand if you see it than if you listen or read it. Also, I put spiderwire on mine, which tends to be limp, narrow, and tough.

Its easy, take off the cap then just unscrew the bottom quarter of the pen. The refills are pretty common, ive got a fisher refill in mine.

The capacitive portion of the Jot is the clear disc at the tip of the pen. If you take off the clear disc, it will not work.

Yes, like other replies, I had the same problem at first. I saw a picture showing that the separation is just past the clip, which was helpful. I have heard that they get looser and looser over time, so the next question we will be asking is how to get the cap to stay on.

Hi. The clip on this model of the pen can not be replaced. You would have to bend it back with pliers. Thank you!

Depends on which cap. The " outside cap will fit on the inside one, and then leave the eraser exposed. Not ideal, but better than buying a whole new one.
