I took my new 1100-3 apart to check out the refill and the spring pop out into the force air vent on the hardwood floor.

Does anyone know if BM will send a free replacement for my lost spring?

Call them and they probably will.

And I do mean call - absolute best way to get in touch with them.

To get by you can probably steal a spring from some inferiour pen.

I just took one of my 1100 series pens apart to compare it's spring to one from a cheapy "10-for-a-$1" kind of pen. You can safely use the cheap one and forget you had this problem, it'll work just fine.

Thanks guys, I call BM and Andy at customer service was great and he will send a couple of springs my way. Meanwhile, I will put a cheap spring from another pen.

I did this once:

Since calling them would be a bit too costly (Austria / Europe - USA...) I sent them a mail asking them about a second generation clip for my "first generation" pen.
BM sent me three(!) clips. That was a great experience.

I don't think that they won't send you the spring (if not three of them Wink ).

Regards,

julian

I asked for 2 springs and BM sent me 3 springs.
The cost for postal cost more than the springs.

Way to go BM.
