Hello all!
I am a realtor and engineer, so I write on a lot of documentation. I also am doing lots of notetaking, and journal daily. I am looking for one pen that can generally do it all and is high quality.
I have used the Pilot Frixion Erasables for years and have been generally happy, but would prefer something a bit more comfortable and higher quality. If too expensive then at the minimum, just more comfortable for long writing sessions.
I know almost nothing about pens so thank you in advanced!

Interested in buying the Charlie Whiskey Tango Pen Type B that is made for Pilot Hi-Tec C but wondering what other refills would fit this pen and/or which other refills are the same size as Hi-Tec C to use as substitute. Thanks for any help or suggestions!

Hi all , I have a Zebra Sarasa Grand as my EDC . Lately I have noticed the refill is leaking for some reason , when u go to use it some ink it leaking from the tip and even has at times smeared to the outside to the pen body . I haven’t dropped it , I always keep it in my backpack kept in place with the clip when it’s not in my pocket . I’m wondering what could have caused this ?

For someone who has never held one, how would you describe the shape of a Ballogtaf Epoca? Is the grip area triangular? The shaft hex, or round, or what? I see pics but dont feel like I'm getting a good idea.
THANKS

A couple new pens, some ink, a couple erasers and a pouch for all of my refills, leads, etc. I'm glad someone suggested making a paper model of the pouch because I was going to go with the smaller pen carry case, but that would have been way too small!
I will probably pair the Vista with violet ink and the Sport with blue. My white Safari will most likely get red ink.
I also wanted to give a side-by-side comparison of the Sport to the Vista. The Vista is a fairly average size pen, and I knew the Sport would be a little bit smaller, but I didn't realize how much.

Hello everyone,
I recently bought myself a Rotring 600 and a Rotring 800. I first got the 600 and I swapped out the ink for an OHTO Flash Dry pg-105np. Its a good ink but I find it hard to buy in Canada and Amazon was charging a lot for one refill.
When I got my 800 I decided to try some Schneider Gelion. For some reason the Schneider Gelion will not work in the 800 but it will fit in the 600? I swapped the OHTO into the 800 and it worked.
Is there a reason for this or something that I am doing wrong?

Hello there! So I recently got this pipette pen and notice that its refill is a Schmidt P900. My question as a noob is that if this brand is good and where can I get a refill for when I ran out of ink.

TBH, I don't understand why the classic Fine Point Sharpie (not the Ultra Fine) is held with such high regard. It seems to me the fine tip only lasts a few uses before it gets squished.
Before you say it, no I'm not smashing the point. I even tried those Milwaukee permanetn pens that are similar at Home Depot but the tip on those does not last either.
So what fine point permanent marker keeps a sharp tip?
There must be a better option out there in the land of markers and pens.
Thanks!
