Pros & Cons

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

Pros

Sharpie blue gel refills are readily available here and not too expensive. The refills come in bold, medium, fine and ultra fine. They also come in a plethora of colors. Only complaint is that wish we had the option for ink color.

The gel ink writes smooth and easily across the page. They write smooth, feel comfortable in hand, and look very elegant & stylish. It writes very smooth and skip free!

This version is much preferrable to a click pen that can stain a shirt pocket and is just a bit narrower in the hand. It is a little expensive, which is the only downside. Easy to use and doesn't make a ink stain when in your pocket.

The teal version of this pen has no issues at all. It has a metal body and it is slimmer than the standard energel pen body is. This all metal pen provides a professional presentation while making use of the energel ink refills.



Cons

For 20 dollars a pen these are a major ripoff. Only the original cartridge provides uninterrupted ink flow, the refills barely produce ink at all. Prosprobably would fit different refills.

It writes a little scratchy, not smoothly the way their better pens do. The paint comes off when dropped or rubbed against a rough surface.

Pentel energel pens are the best ones out there.

    However it is difficult to turn the upper segment counterclockwise to retract the point and stop at the precise spot where it is fully retracted
