AP-701C-M - Why does my ink refill keep getting pulled out when I take my pen cap off?

Question

Every time I remove the pen cap from my AP-701C-M pen, the ink refill is pulled out by the magnetic pen cap. Why is this happening & how can I fix this?

Answer

Ink refills are made of different materials & we have found that this issue can be successfully addressed by changing to a (D1) ink refill, where the ball is made of tungsten carbide & the pen tip made of brass - these ink refills are less magnetic and not adversely affected by the magnet in the AP-701C-M pen cap versus the other ink refills with stainless steel pen tips.
