Question: Any pen experts!? I just need a refill!!?
Recently I bought a small bullet pen from a hotel and I love it, but it stopped working on the second day!. Seems like it is running out of ink or maybe it was just a bad to begin with!? I've just barely used it!. So I'd like to buy a refill but I don't know who the maker of the pen is, or if there is just a certain style of refill used for these pens!. Like I said it is a small twist 'bullet' style pen, and I'm not entirely sure how to even take the ink out of the pen! Any help would be awesome! Photos below:

On the outside it looks like a Colibri, it would be helpful if you removed the actual refill and took a picture of that!. You can try to remove it by unscrewing it, it that doesn't work try pulling it out, do not use a tool such as pliers, just pull gently with your fingers!.

That looks like the refill of a Cross pen would fit in there, the mechanism is the same they, screw in!. Except the plastic tip that extends outside the bottom of the pen once screwed in of the Cross refill is longer, but it should fit without any trouble inside the top of the pen!.

I have a beautiful Colibri pen which I was not able to use for years, because genius over here thought that I could only use Colibri refills, then one day I stumbled upon the Cross refills and they work just fine!.

There are many manufacturers of similar refills, some have white tips -like yours- some black, some blue, but what matters is the length of the tank and the thread of the refill!.

Cross refills are available at Office Depot, take your pen there and try it out I pretty sure it will fit!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
