Jetstream in a Parker Refill - Meet the SXR-600-07

- čas přidán 6. 09. 2024
- I finally picked up one of the highly awaited Parker G2 style Jetstream refills, the SXR-600-07 ( amzn.to/2xxHpmu ). People have being waiting for this one for a long time, especially EDC people who use machined pens that often take a Parker style refill. Yes, this means a Jetstream refill in your Rotring 600 ( amzn.to/2NwEwfG ), Parker Jotter ( amzn.to/2xwwB8g ), etc.
More details: unsharpen.com/...
It's sold in a 0.5mm and 0.7mm (SXR-600-05 and SXR-600-07) and are only available in Japan for now. To be fair, they have been available for a few months but I didnt't want to pay the shipping so I held off.
If you can't find them on your local Amazon (I can't) then you can try Rakuten or Ebay. I bought mine from Ebay.

The SXR-600 is one of those rare refills that made me think "WOW! That was totally worth the $8-10!" - It made a number of my Parker-style refill pens "usable" again. FYI--the standard Jetstream refill, without modification, will fit in:
- All of my Zebra Sarasa bodies, including the grand
- All of my Energel bodies, including the Alloy
- All Uniball Signo (207/307) and Paper Made Inkjoy gel bodies
Also, I use a very slightly trimmed Jetstream refill in both my Karas Pen Co Ink and Retrakt pens. I haven't tried it in the Render K but I have to assume it'll work there as well.
Since you have some good idea about these, how do they last compared to a standard refill? Are these like a gel pen that you finish quite quickly or it's oil based ink like in a Parker?
@@InyasArt it's oil based ink
Got a few of these SXR-600-07 refills for use in a Visconti Homo Sapiens Bronze Age ballpoint, which (naturally) shipped with a Visconti Smartouch cartridge. Both are very good, but I have long had a preference for Jetstream pens in the ballpoint world and the Jetstream cartridge performs exactly as I had expected it to. Having a ballpoint pen to go with my Visconti HSBA fountain pen that writes just like the Jetstream RT I keep on my desk at home means a lot to me, and I'm very happy with it.
Just got a rOtring 600 + Jetstream SXR-600-07 and I feel like I have achieved ballpoint pen nirvana. These two go together SO well.
Got my SXR600s, in 0.7 / 0.5 AND 0.38 (oh yes). They write amazingly and the 0.7 is comparable to the classic disposable pens that uniball produces. My only complaint is that they haven't yet introduced a blue colour (or any other for that matter apart from black). Other than that, it is classic JetStream and works as advertised.
I think I found a new hobby
What?
Uniball is working on a blue color version. Hopefully it comes out this year. The saturation of the blue color is amazing.
That's amazing! I love Jetstream's blue color ink for the same reason! Where did you find this information, if you don't mind me asking?
@@Porygon2ning... Reading Amazon USA questions asked under this refill. It goes for 19.99 nowadays.
I would order the heck out of this amazing refill. I wonder when they will eventually produce it.
FYI: the regular Jetstream refills fit alot of my machined pens that take the pilot G2 style (man, that is confusing). I have one in a tactile turn Mover right now.
Can the cap on this refill be removed and placed in the F-701, as you detailed in a previous video?
I am drooling at the Jetstream refill in that rOtring 600 🤤
I just picked up a couple of these 0.7's on Ebay. I was testing out my Jetstreams I've kept in storage, and though the pens' shape and weight aren't my preference the refill performed as well as the schmidt easyflow9000.
I didn't give the jetstream much of a chance because they weren't swappable either, but after this quick test I think they have the potential to be an easyflow contender for me, which says a lot.
This is a big release.
I still prefer Parker Quink refills as I like some traction plus with Quink I can just not press for thin line and press a little harder and get thicker line; Jetstream is good for easier writing and surely will get cheaper as time goes but I cannot get variation in line and since it is hybrid ink it will deplete much quicker. Works well in one of my fave pens Parker Urban ballpoint pens. (much more comfortable then Jotters)
I like the classic Parker pen. Skinny feels good in the hand. To each their own on comfort. I found the Parker gel pens are my favorite at the moment. I write very quickly and the low drag just makes it a joy on paper.
These are pretty pricey and I think the Schmidt Easyflow 9000 rolls smoother but the Jetstream is smooth and I think the black ink is darker than what's in the Schmidt.
I just took delivery of a pen I've liked the look and feel of, since childhood but it took me a long time to get round to looking for one for myself: a Parker 45 Flighter. So I put the Jetstream in that and I can already tell I will be using that one a lot.
Reliability of the easyflow is the main problem vs the sxr
These refills are about $6 in China. Actually the 600 in the model name means 600 yen, which is about 6 dollars. Uniball use this kind of naming a lot.
Thanks for this review I just received my jet stream prime twist with this refill in the mail.
I think your video must have been the one to alert me to this refill in the first place, but like I said in your Parker Jotter XL video, they go great together with that pen.
Looks nice, always look forward to see your videos.
Will this work in a zebra f701?
Nice video. Now I have another good alternative to the inconsistent Parker refills. Also I’m a little surprised that my Rotrings take the G2.
How’d I miss that?
On your website, you say this refill is offered in blue ink. Can you say where I can find it? Thanks.
Hi Sal, most of the Jetstream refill I have will be unusable after only one page of note in my notebook. It won't let out anymore ink although the refill itself is new and still have a lot of ink in it. Does this problem occur to you? Especially on this product?
I really love Jetstream though. But this problem always occur and I feel it will be very pricey for me to keep buying unusable refills
It is now offered with a 0.38 mmm tip.
Found your channel after preordering a lefty Tactile Turn side click pen and wanting to see about the Jetstream refill since they picked it specifically for the lefty pen. Then turns out you’re a lefty as well so that worked out even better lol. Subbed.
ZUNIGA GUNNER I just got my standard size copper side click in the mail this week and absolutely love it. My matching bolt action should be here Monday lol.
This needs to come in Blue ink and I can get 100% behind it!
Right. What’s the delay??
This refill is difficult to get in India, I couldn't find it on Amazon or other sites!
How does it write compared to uniball 207 plus
May i know what are the lifespans of this refills? How much writing can you do with them before they will need replacement?
These are quite long lasting. But I don’t have a number of pages for you unfortunately
Is there anyway to modify these to fit into a Parker IM rollerball pen?
I can't find the clear version of the kaweco sport pen that fits the parker style refills like you have in some of your vids. Any ideas where I can get one?
It’s called the sport gel roller: unsharpen.com/pen/kaweco-sport-roller/
Great video once again.
Does it last longer than standard sxr refills?
Fellow Southpaw 😎👍
Can you put Parker refills in a space pen? I know the fisher refill comes with a doodad to fit in Parker style pens. But is the opposite true?
No, the Parker G2 refill is bigger than the space pen refill, so it wouldn't fit. the extra doodad bulks up the space refill a bit but it won't go the other way
Hi, thanks for the review! Could post the name of the stainless steel pen that writes fourth in the order? Thanks!
It’s called a maxmadco
@@unsharpen Looks like these are no longer available?
SXR-600-07 is difficult to find in India (if imported over to expensive) can we use any hack so to use any other jetstream refill in my jotter
@@unsharpen any other hybrid ink refill that can be used in jotter ?
Is blue refill available ?
Can you comment on how this SXR 600 in 0.7 compares to the EasyFlow 9000 M, as far as line thickness, darkness and drying time?
Thanks!
@@unsharpen Thank you! I've seen people say the SXR writes smaller than what the size is listed as. Has this been true for you? Does the 0.7 write smaller than what you expect from a "0.7"? Is it noticeably smaller than the EasyFlow M?
The Jetstream dries much quicker, has a bold black line, and isn't as prone to smearing as the EasyFLOW 9000 M. It isn't as prone to skipping like the EasyFLOW 9000 M is based on my experience with both refills. I actually threw out several unreturnable Schmidt EasyFLOW 9000 M refills, because of the incessant skipping and I also had to "warm-up" the tip on scratch paper or a tissue to get them to write, after setting them down for even a short amount of time. The Jetstream doesn't require "warming-up"
I just wish that the SXR-600-07 came in BLUE!
Hey Sal, just finally ran across a zebra f701 does this refill fit in that ?
Found the answer
What is the pen in 5:39?

Ooooooh... I'm giong to have to try this out when it's more available.
Does it flow as efforlessly as an Easyflow9000?
Thank you, and I appreciate the video reviews. A couple of individuals close to me are lefties so I am always looking for a good refill to put in a Parker Jotter or a Tikky or something of that fashion : ) This refill does pique my interest, so once again, thank you.
I will also appreciate that review in one of your future videos, in order we can exactly know the differences between both of them ( the easyflow.9000 and the SXR.600.07 Jetstream refill ). Thanks ! … And I’d like to know if we can put this refill in a Ballograf Epoca too, with the changes we know we have to do for adapting the refill in this ballpoint pen.
I did see that review of yours on the Epoca's. I saved that video, which means they're on my list. Right now the rOtring Tikky serves that purpose right now, but I will buy one of those in the near future to try them out.
aren't these refills pricier than the pens?
Does this fit in a zebra f701?
No
@@unsharpen Do you know a good refill that writes like the uniball 207 plus that would fit in the zebra f701?
Very expensive $10 for a refill
I just curious if you are ever going to do a face reveal.
Yeah boy you need something to help you write nicely. Are you teaching yourself to write left handed?
Trade all your pens in for a typewriter. Your hand Wright ink is pure trash
