I've been on the hunt for the "perfect" body for years after having gone way too in depth into testing refills and obsessing over minutiae of the writing experience, but I seem to want the opposite of what most people do. I want the perfect "cheap" capped body for a Pilot G2 1.0mm refill. I've tried all the other equivalent refills and this is my jam. The closest body I have found is the Energel Deluxe capped body, but it requires modification that often breaks the tip opening so that a Pilot refill can fit through it since it annoyingly has a larger tip on the 1.0mm than the other compatible refills like Energel, Sarasa etc. Pilot doesn't make a refillable capped body like this. I don't like the heavy or metal fancy pen bodies most people are drawn too, which is good for me as they cost too much anyway and I don't have disposable income, but it's one of those little annoying first world issues in life I wish I could solve. My perfect body would be a clear demonstrator type capped body (easy to see ink level and color) of the diameter I like, with a decent grip material. Really the Energel above, clear, with the proper tip for the G2, and a better clip, would be 90% there for me. Small problems.
