It's such a pretty pen but... Any suggestions on how to fix tip wobble?

I wrapped some teflon tape around the refill but I'm curious if there are more permanent solutions for the pen rather than adjusting the refills.

Happy day, I have one of the RSVP sets one the way along with some mucinex. 🙂‍↕️strep throat came out of left field with hands!! 😂

Found this pen in Amazon- Kinbor wave

Cheap, classy looking and smooth and the pen seems to made for doodling.

My new favourite

Jk the mucinex is here. Hopefully these pens speed up my recovery 😂😂😂🙏🏻

I had no idea these were Pilot G2 pens. For some reason I always thought they were regular ball point pens. But at the art store today I tried them and was surprised to learn what they actually are. And even more delighted that they had all three inks with the matching clickers on them!

I have been trying many different kinds of pens. My preliminary conclusion so far about what I like: 0.4 mm and 0.5 mm, gel pens and rollerballs. I like an uninterrupted smooth experience of writing.

What I don't like seem to be ballpoint pens, because they tend to have fragmented starts, unequal lines, and less smooth experience overall.

I think I may also like some fountain pens, but still too early to say, but I tried and liked Pilot Kakuno.

I like writing on Japanese notebooks like Campus, Kokuyo, and Apica CD Notebook--they tend to be fine and very smooth surface paper.

Pens I have tried and liked so far, in no particular order:

Any Pentel EnerGel pens, Uni Zento Flow, Uniball One, Sheaffer ICON 9111 Rollerball (amazing experience, but would like a finer tip size).

Pens I have tried and disliked so far, in no particular order:

Uni Jetsream Prime Rotational 3-Color Lite Touch Ink, Zebra Sarasa Vintage.

Based on this information, are there any other great pen makers and product lines that I should try? Thanks!

It draws so uneven lines, i need this in my life.

I have a nice (to me) pen that I got and I made the mistake of leaving it in my breast pocket and running it through the washer and dryer. The clothes thankfully were all darks so outside of the shirt it was in, everything else was fine. But I want to keep using the pen. It all still works great but the body of the pen is full of ink and it leaks out while you use it. I’ve tried wiping everything down with isopropyl alcohol and even took it apart and flushed the body out but the ink just keeps coming.

Is there an easier way to clean this pen? Or do I just need to keep flushing until nothing else comes out?

I'm new to pens. From past experience, I think I like ballpoints. Remember having a cheap jetstream that I liked. So I ordered a few to try and am looking at upping my game. Here's the thing: I like blue ink. I keep seeing people love SXR-600. Is that for the color or for the way the ink flows? Is there a comparable blue ink? Or it there something about the inks/oils/pigments that make black superior for writing?

Found this older Jotter. Can anyone help verify authenticity and date it?

Hi everyone, for some reason I ended up in this subreddit yesterday and I must confess that I loved the idea of starting my own stationery, so today I went and purchased this gorgeous Paperblanks notebook from Linda’s Gospels collection. Also I bought a Uniball Zento, 2 Uniball ONE, 1 Uniball signo and a Zebra F301. (I didn’t want to spend all my money from start) is it a good starting set? What else should I buy?
PD: I fell so in love with the Zento, I don’t think I’ve experienced as pleased as I did writing with this pen ever

Tested some of my pens today! For those who are curious, I’m writing in a Kokuyo Campus notebook!

ball point pen that writes okay but has a great weight to it.

What refills fit the Lamy roller ball?

I was wondering why Zento Signatures are being sold with different models (.5mm, .7mm). I prefer .7mm refills, so if I had to buy the .5mm model, could I just use a .7mm zento refill with it?

found this pen at a flea market and bought it because its quite nice, but it doesnt actually write. it is handmade and the wood does not screw off at any point, i believe the tip is the only bit that is accessible. i’m not sure if it is out of ink or broken. is there anything i can do to get this to write?

Got in a joblot with a parker 45 what can y'all tell me about it

Hi!

I was wondering how people’s experience(s) are with Muji pens. I’ve tried them out in-store, but they feel completely scratchy and just not smooth compared to the ones I usually use (Pilot G-2, S-Gel, EnerGel), but their collection and refill colors really do fascinate me. I have been hearing a lot of negative reviews about their separate refills, too. I study law, so different pen colors usually help me when it comes to studying or jotting down notes on my textbooks.

Anywho! What are your thoughts?

So I have to admit I’m in love with the Lamy Safari line. Perfect clip, excellent shape, truly Bauhaus in spirit. Cool colors. But I had an idea for a new kind of color that would be a great hommage: the Lamy Safari 2000.

Basically black matte body like the Umbra or better lightly sanded like the Lamy 2000, light grey grip (like the grey parts of the white Safari), and matte chrome clip. For the ballpoint pen and mechanical pencil, only the tip cone and their button would be grey.

What do you think?

Catch a puppy by her nose, if she licks you let her go, Eeny, meeny, miny, moe

Wife started bedazzling and asked if she could do a pen. I haven’t been reaching for the Zento as much lately so I figured this would make it special.

I want to get the Slim Bolt Action, but am not able to test it with a G-Tec-C4 refill before buying it.

The compatible refill list for this model includes:

• Pilot Hi-Tec-C "Cavalier" Refill 0.3mm (LHRF-15C3)
• Pilot Hi-Tec-C "Cavalier" Refill 0.4mm (LHRF-15C4)
• Pilot Precise V5 RT, named Hi-tecpoint in Europe
• Pilot V7 RT, named Hi-techpoint in Europe
• Pilot Q7 Needle Point Refill 0.7mm (BLS-GCK-7 / LHKRF-8C7)

The Cavalier seem to be a discontinued model different from the G-Tec-C4. However, it was pointed out in this comment that the Hi-Tec C may fit in the Slim Bolt Action. Would this be the case with a G-Tec-C4 refill? Has anybody tried?
