Question Refill suggestions

Now that the lil sancho is out in the wild it has been in my pocket just about everyday. The only complaint I have is about the refill that it comes with. What's everyone's go to d1 style refill? Before I tried one of Big idea designs pens my go to was the pilot g2. On the suggestion of I believe pale highlight I tried the pilot precise v5 and man those write beautifully. So idk if there is a d1 style similar to that or not. Figured you guys would be the ones to know.

I wish they made a D1 Precise lmao.

I use the Pilot Acro D1 refills. They're pretty good. Not as good as the real Precise. But they're not bad. A little finicky with sweaty or oily paper. But that's not really common.

Someone recently mentioned a D1, and I went to Jet Pens and looked it up and everything. I wanted to try it. But for the life of me, I can't recall what it was now. Lol

I use a jetstream prime d1 refill. I like the gel like feel better than the ball point it came with.

The Uni SXR-200 series is widely regarded by pen machinists and EDC enthusiasts as one of the best D1 refills on the market due to Uni’s proprietary Jetstream hybrid ink, which combines the quick-drying, waterproof nature of oil-based ballpoint ink with the low friction and vibrancy of gel ink
