What are the main parts of the V3 pen?

4. Anodised aluminium body and cap
The body and cap of the V3 pen are anodised aluminium. Anodising is a surface treatment, and the V3 pen is available in a choice of anodised colours.
What is the clip-on lid for?
The V3 pen has a clip-on lid with an integrated carry clip, so you can secure the pen in a case, coat pocket, or storage pouch. See the V1 vs V2 vs V3 comparison for how the generation labels are used by sellers.
What should you check when comparing pen bodies?
Pen bodies from different sellers vary in materials, lid design, colour range and what is included, so it helps to compare the listings on the same points: the body material, how the dial works, the lid, the cartridge size it takes, and the seller's returns terms. Our Peptide Pen UK: The Complete Buyer's Guide covers this in more detail.
