I once tried this pen and I can't form an actual opinion on it, because it is one of the smoothest pens I've tried, but at the same time it uses a lot of ink, so it's not practical on every kind of paper. Do you actually manage to use it on a daily basis on every kind of paper? Also, do they sell a refillable version?
After trying many pens to decide what's my workhorse, I came back to the V5, I think it's simplicity is just the best. I usually get bored of a pen after a while but this one is just perfect, it's as smooth as a fountain pen, but at the same time I can bring it everywhere without worries that it leaks or breaks down.
It's been a while since I've finished one of these though, if I remember correctly these last a good while don't they? How much do you usually use them before they run out?
This is what I usually use every day, mostly for school work or journaling:
-Kaweco Sport inked with Diamine green-black
-Pilot Kakuno inked with Pilot black ink
- Sakura micron 03
-Muji 0.5 gel pen in blue black ink ( it was a gift, I never use blue ink though)
-Pentel Energel 0.7
-Pilot precise V5
-Pilot G-2
-Pilot ballpoint Super Grip M
Of all of these, I find myself using the G2 most of the time, with the exception of journaling, where I only use fountain pens.
What would you add to this collection, considering that I would like to try some other kinds of pen other than gel, maybe more rollerballs idk...
I'm asking this because the only person I've seen with many different kind of pens, that also made me discover lots of models I didn't know is my philosophy teacher, and it's curious that also another one of his philosophy colleagues has a lot of great pens always lying around. Maybe it's because they are always taking notes of the books they read, it's just something I noticed.
