I saw your Youtube video before realizing it was you. Thanks for sharing.

yup. thats exactly what mine looks like; on the blinde cap though.
UPDATE: Crack found in Barrel of my Classic Mini...I'll send another email and see what happens..
Wow! That is not good. Where on the barrel and how bad?
And I thought TWSBI was going to take care of all these cracking issues.

I did too...It is all along one of the facets...about 3 in long if I had to take a guess!
Best,
That is a serious crack. You didn't accidentally drop it or bang it?
I did a 4 foot drop test on to a linoleum floor...that shouldn't have done anything--especially after seing how well twsbi's new material performed in their videos...although that was a different kind of stress.
No problem...I always do drop tests The nib, as expected, had some ink droplets on it, but the gripping section remained ink-less. The pen does get dried ink on the o-ring from time to time...quite annoying for someone like me who HATES ink on hands!
I'm sure they will replace your barrel. But if the Minis start having the same problems as the 540s...that won't be good.
Email sent over 24 hours ago now...still no response...again! They have a great customer service reputation, so I don't know whats up!
That does surprise me as I've always received a reply in less than a day. I should add that all my correspondence with them has been through ebay.
I wouldn't worry yet, but if you don't hear back in another day, email them again.
They replied on facebook. They want a picture. Will do!
