The pigma microns have a little notch in the plastic where it meets the metal of the nib. If you stick the point of a thumbtack in that notch and wiggle the nib comes right off. It is really easy to refill that way with no damage to the pen. I wonder if the uni pin has a way to access it on the nib end that is just as easy.
Thanks to another commenter I've discovered that it is much easier to get a pair of pliers and remove the plastic top which holds the metal nib in the Uni-pin. Very little damage. Don't follow the bad example in this video of attacking the end of the pen LOL.
The really great thing about these "disposable" pens is that they don't dry or clog nearly as easily as pens with a proper ink reservoir, like, say, a Pentel Standard Brush Pen, so they can use much stronger inks than "refillable" pens (many of which actually use DISPOSIBLE cartridges...).
Be careful. The disposable ink pen mafia might send a hitman to "dispose" of you.
Would never have guessed the Pentel Touch Sign pen to have such a rather smoothly removable end cap
I have removed that end cap many times before. But it is still many times easier than most.

Thank you

Is the Faber Castell multimark pen refillable too?
is this an alcohol-based Ink?
The Sumi ink I used to refill them is water based. Water and lamp soot or something like that.
