Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

These are great, reasonably priced, permanent ink pens! Remins me of the old fountain pen.

The energel has a soft, textured rubber grip point. It comfortably sits in the hand without moving. That means those of us with bum hands or arthritis will benefit from them.

Ink dries super quickly and doesn't smudge. Barrel is not obnoxiously sized. It is there to prevent ink from drying up.



Cons

Pens are defective. They are severely disappointing. Pentel had to have known this pen was defective.

The quality is low. Wasn't worth the hassle of returning them. A waste of a few bucks.

Ink flow is inconsistent. When they do write, they write scratchy. They also fade. The ink cartridges inside these are junk.

It skips a lot. Even in a fresh notebook with so much cushion it skips. It's frustratingly unusable.

Quality


Given the quality, i think this is worth it.


Good quality pens, they write well for me.


From reviews that i've read, some refills aren't the quality of the original pens, so choose carefully.


I don't agree with the negative reviews.

Price


The price is very reasonable comparing to the big box stationary stores.


I had a check washed and it cost me a lot of trouble.

Shipping


It dries fast and i also needed that.

Competitiveness


This pen writes really smooth, but it not as smooth as the original energel pens.


Note that at the time i write this, the 3-pack costs more than double the price of the 2-pack, so check the prices before ordering.

    I dont agree with the negative reviews

    Still smudges with wet finger swipe


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I find that the pens are less in some cases than the refills which is unfortunate


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The pens are well made and could certainly last through a few refills if taken care of and its a waste to toss them in the trash


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    After being used for a while the ink started coming out inconsistently and seemingly faded in some areas even when it still looked like the pens had plenty of ink left in them


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I tried a different brand previously and you could not write with it it was too scratchy and skipped
