Quality Ink

Customers generally praise the high quality and smooth ink of these pens, but some note disappointment that it doesn't last as long as they would like. Be careful not to let the open tip touch anything to prevent ink leakage.

Smooth Writing

Customers have a very positive opinion on the smooth writing aspect of the PILOT VBall Liquid Ink Rolling Ball Stick Pens. They write smoothly and effortlessly with a nice dark line, creating tight, uniform lines without blots or blemishes. The ink flows easily and dries quickly, making it ideal for lengthy writing sessions. Some customers have been using these pens for years and highly recommend them.

Quality


The writing quality is very smooth and effortless and the size of the pen fits well in the hand.


Great feel, great ink flow, no smudges.


Unfortunately, i lose fountain pens and they also have a strange propensity to walk off on their own when left unattended.


This pen is fine point - which it clearly states.

Price


Very pleased to find on amazon at far less cost.


You can find these pens by the dozen at about $1.


Shoot, my local mom-and-pop stationery store sells them for $1.


As always it would be nicer if they were cheaper :)

Shipping


They arrived promptly and i really love these pens

Packaging/appearance


Edit: though the packaging has indeed changed over the years, the gold printing is indicative of the 0.


I figured that they'd just changed packaging.


If anyone knows that they in fact did make more of a change than the packaging, please leave a comment.

Competitiveness


So look for a better deal on amazon or support your local mom-and-pop if you still have one.


) i can't find any difference discussed online, and the product pictures on pilot's and amazon's sites still show the old silver design.

    As they age after about a year the ink tends to come down the shaft and can eventually leak onto your hands
