Can this be refilled with "Fisher Space Pen" Ink
1769695
It can, but not as simple as removing the plastic insert. There are several forum threads available addressing this step-by-step. The metal tip must also be drilled out to accept the larger space pen tip.

Yes, It can. I just changed two of mine with the fisher refills. Its a little more complicated. But you DO NOT have to drill out the tip if you use a fine tip. (I am not sure of the other Fisher med. or bold refills. You do have to take out the tiny plastic insert located in the tip. You can just poke it out with a paper clip or nail. I just used a piece of 5/32 shrink tubing cut to the length of the tip that was taken out. DO not heat the tubing. Just poke it into the tip (make sure its secure). Find another spring from a junk pen that has less tension in it. Add just a tiny drop of lubricant on the new ink refill and assemble. I used Fisher SPRF fine point black refill. Hope it helps!

Our local Office Depot said they probably have the refill and to just bring in the pen. They can order the refill if they do not have it but they are sure that they stock the item. We haven't had to replace it yet.

Runs a Fisher ink insert, and has the official Fisher spacepen logo on the bottom of the body of the pen. By that info, I would have to say it is the real deal.

I have never refilled the pen, however, there is a several ink refills, that fit the pen. Either thru a supply store or online.

Fisher makes the Inka cartridge, which I think is kind of funny, since I see Inka as a sort of hippie version of Fisher. You want their Universal refill, and you have to slide off your present stylus and put it on the Fisher refill. Search Amazon for "Fisher Universal Refill."

Yes, you can change the ink before it runs out. You will have to clean the nib first (this pen comes with a water cleaning kit). It's really simple.

I'm pretty sure you can order refills from the manufacturer. I'm not sure if another brand readily available from most office supply stores will work. After all, the cartridge is really the key to space pens, being pressurized etc.Google space pen refills or go to the manufacturers site. It seems like I received a reorder form for them with my pen.

The refills you can buy them in Amazon. Type "Fisher Space Pen Black Fine Point Pressurized Refill"

Yes. It comes with a "converter", which is a refillable reservoir. It fits into the pen in place of a cartridge. This particular converter uses a screw mechanism to operate the plunger. With some other pens (Lamy Safari, for instance) you need to buy the converter separately.

Not really sure. I use the Space Pen refills in mine. I can find them at most office supply stores so it makes it convenient. Also, since I work in automotive parts it certainly is helpful that the Space Pen can write over grease spots!

Yes space pen refills will work ,they're dimensions are identical to the rite in the rain refills

#SPR4 which fits Fisher Space (and has a plastic adapter for a Parker)...Office Depot has had them (even though they don't sell the pens, oddly)

I looked for replacements for my Fisher pen at the big box store and they did not carry Fisher refills. I took my pen out and removed the cartridge and compared it to every pen refill they had and many looked like they would fit with the exception of the shoulder that holds the spring. So my guess would be to just go out and buy the refills for whatever pen you have. If you want the features of the Fisher refill, it is my advice to just go out and buy a Fisher pen.

Hi Molly- I use Fisher Space Ball Point Refills for this pen. I saw that someone else suggested using Fisher and thought I'd give it a try. So glad I did! Because I'd been so disappointed with Zebra refills for quite some time. My favorite pens (Zebra) were suddenly turning my journals into a dotted, blotchy mess. There's just an even flow of ink while writing with Fisher refills that Zebra simply doesn't have anymore. I have no idea why the Zebra refills tend to leave blots now, resulting in pages of speckled writing (if that makes sense.) It's incredibly annoying. I even switched from the Zebra 301 (my forever trusted favorite) to the F402 pen to see if that would make any difference. It did not. I loved the fine point that came with the steel pen. The glide of the pen across most any paper is amazing. But again the blotchy spots ruin it for me. And perhaps it's just me and the ridiculous standard I have for a writing instrument. I don't know. The Fisher refill is not quite as fine as the one that comes with the Zebra steel pen. But it's still a reasonably fine point. Should you go with Fisher refills, be aware that your Zebra Steel pen won't click and retract normally. In other words, it won't. Or at least mine don't. But that doesn't bother me at all. I have four of the Zebra Steel pens. And I love them...with Fisher refills! I hope my Chronicles of Zebra (sorry) help you select something that suits your specific needs. I feel like a total Amazon dork right now. I hardly ever write reviews. I know. How selfish.

This is the one I have bought, because Fisher recommended it: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00006I5RH/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1418498453&sr;=8-1Just so you know, I still haven't had to use any of the refills I bought, and I use my Space Pens constantly. The ink that comes in the pen lasts a VERY long time.

No, it is a water based Ink. I don't think you could refill it with permanent ink either, it does not seal well enough and would dry out.

Yes you can get refills. You can pull the pen part out with a bit of pressure. Unfortunately they are really expensive for what you are getting...basically a cut down pen refill that ought to cost 30 cents. Instead costs like 4 dollars. Aaand, theres a little metal hook dealie on the end of it that is proprietary...plus teh refill itself is thin metal instead of fat plastic tube. Therefore you cannot do it yourself. Still, its not like you are using this pen a whole lot right? It should last for a long long time on its own.
