PILOT VBall Liquid Ink Rolling Ball Stick Pens, Extra Fine Point, Black Ink, 12-Pack (35200)

writes very well- no skipping- used this pen in my office for years.

I absolutely love these pens! As a lefty, Ive always had trouble finding a pen that didnt run or that actually works. Maybe its me, maybe its the pens. I have no idea but Ive never had a single issue with these pens. They write beautifully and last a long time. I really love that its ink. It seems like everything is gel now and they just never work for me. The ink in this pen is consistent and works in any weather. With other pens, Ive had trouble on cold morning but no trouble here. I use them at home and at work all the time, everyone knows my work because of my purple pen. Ill be buying them forever!

I am an office supply junkie. I love purple ink. This pen has a very fine point, glides smoothly across the page, and can easily press through 3-part NCR requisitions. I couldnt be happier! Thanks Pilot for a great pen!

I love these pens, theyre my favorite disposable ink pens and I will keep ordering them until the day I die.

The pilot VBall is the pen I have been using since 2003 back when I started college, my hand/arm get tired when I write a lot, but with this pen it takes a lot of writing before the pain starts. I used to buy them overseas, too. As long as this pen is being produced, I will continue to buy it.

Once you use these pens, youll never use anything else. They are a pleasure to write with because the ink flows effortlessly onto the page and requires only the lightest grip. They do have one quirk: when you take them on an airplane, the changes in air-pressure eventually cause the pens to leak. Nevertheless, I like these pens so much for their smooth writing quality that I am willing to deal with this.

Ink is vibrant and smooth. Only knock is the ink bleeds through standard paper.

Great pen.

My all time favorite pens. I had one break after putting it in the washer, but somehow the ink all stayed within the pen!

This is the only pen I will use. I have been using this pen for nearly ten years. I find the design to be much better than other fine point pens, as it is simple and effective. The ink flow is exceptionally smooth; it does not blob or skip in mid-stroke. Unlike most pens in its class, it does not have the unwieldy rubber grip, which for me does nothing except make the pen barrel too large and uncomfortable. Additionally, it is made from a single piece of plastic that is clear, allowing the user to see his or her ink level. Unfortunately, the folks at Pilot seem to disagree with me, as they appear to no longer make this pen as it was. They have moved on to a larger barreled, silver painted version with the aforementioned rubber grip. The paint chips off easily and gets all over everything. Contrary to some reports, Ive never had this pen leak during my decade of using it, even during a number of plane trips. Perhaps I was just lucky. Overall, I would recommend this pen for its simplicity, utility, durability, and excellent writing characteristics.
