Gene G. –
Its a love-hate with this adapter. I love the design, and both Max and Amex B are super nice people. The adaprer is very convenient drop-in, and makes Novo oh-so-friendly. I had three of these (March ‘26) models break at the thin threaded neck, however. Fishing out the broken pieces without damaging the pen itself is a separate and annoying PIA. For what its worth, they seem to break when the pen is cold, as you press the plunger, when the cartridge gets to be empty. Make a fishook out of recom needle to help with fishing out pieces. I suggest you give it try – it really is nice, and design evolves, but if it goes sideways for look for sunny on STG vendor spreadsheet for a far less convenient but in my experience a more robust mod.
