I prefer gel pens. But I've never seen the pilot g2 on the channel, why is that?

[@channell1104]

[@Ali-in8xi]

My favorite to use are gel pens. The vibrancy, wide selection of ink colors, and its range of tip sizes ensures that I'll always find one perfect for any writing job. Hybrid ink pens are a close second. These pens are perfect for extensive note-taking as the ink lasts longer than gel pens and don't smear when using highlighter pens (there may be minimal smearing if using a 1.0 mm tip as it's letting out more ink). An added benefit of hybrid ink is that it appears darker than that of viscous oil-based ink pens. My favorite hybrid ink pens are the 0.38 mm Uni Jetstream and 0.5 mm Pilot Acroball, with both having blue ink. Thanks for the video JetPens!

Sakura Gelly Roll gel pens (specifically the ones with a shooting star and the "Gold" ones, I don't know what they're called) have really pretty ink and they're really smooth. They only come in one millimeter but all the Gelly pens are great for drawing little things because the ink flow is satisfyingly smooth and it's just _amazing._

[@stevethea5250]

@@ivanavalos3911 Final Thoughts and Reminders Historically, there has been a general preference (not legal requirement) towards blue ink. This is because blue ink easily distinguishes an original document. Black ink can be confused with a photocopy, especially over time as the ink fades. If there are instructions for a document to be signed in a specific color, those instructions should be followed. Parties are free to request that people sign in a certain color if they choose. Although the ink color is one factor, the most important element of a signature is the parties’ intention. Did each party intend to sign? If they did, the form of the signature (including the ink color) is usually irrelevant. Therefore, people can sign with gibberish and still be found to have genuinely signed the agreement. This means someone can’t get out of a contract just because they signed with a signature different from their own. The same goes for color.

Finally, an explanation on inks... I use each of them, depending on the paper I use

[@emilyp2749]

if i’m being honest, i’ve got at least 3 of each kind of pen in my case at all times. when taking notes i always go for my blue uni-ball vision elite rollerball for most of the writing (pretty much all the info, etc.) and my black paper mate inkjoy gel pen for the headings and dates (i also use it for the dashes when doing point form and any writing that involves having a colon after it). i’ll also sometimes use a purple paper mate inkjoy ballpoint pen for any key words or information. i did used to write everything in exclusively the black gel pen but then you find random pens when organizing and things change, and i’ve got more lying around that i still haven’t tried out; but truth be told if i did try them then i would have to get a whole other pencil case just to carry all my pens😅. it is nice to know the true difference between them and what they’re best suited for, and i might just buy some more rollerball and gel pens out of spite🤷‍♀️😂

[@shruthisivakumar4936]

The uni jet stream is probably my favourite pen EVER. Good tip range and it's so so smooth and dries instantly

[@lajibolala5636]

My favorite are roller ball pens. They work so smooth and require less pressure and I have to write almost everyday. They also make my handwriting better. However in some notebooks if the paper is thin or low quality they bleed through the page but then I just use notebooks which are suitable for them.

[@soniccookie655]

A few years ago I had this amazing pen that wrote so smoothly and easily, and its ink was so thick and dark. I realize now that it was a rollerball (I think it was the same brand you show here). I love a good ballpoint or gel pen (Pilot G2 is one of my favorites), but I just don't think they can compare with the rollerball. I think my second favorite is a certain brand of ballpoint, which I don't know off the top of my head, but I like it because of the nice variety in line thickness you can get with it, almost like a pencil. I like sketching with it. But I think the rollerball deserves top place because it is just so unique. The ballpoint is lovely but you can get the same sort of effect and feeling with a pencil, a rollerball is more like a pen filled with paint. I have another rollerball now (I just looked at it, it says "roller ball" right on it!), but that one I had before was so much better. I think I might try to get a new one now.

[@spare97]

I have tried a lot of pens and the Pentel EnerGel 0.7 is probably my favorite. The 0.5 writes quite nicely too, but the 0.7 on thicker bonded paper writes like a dream come true. I haven't found the uni pens to come close to how smooth the EnerGel writes.

[@SamvrithaRW_1403]

Same. It's too smooth and I kinda like 0.7 better too

[@carissasantos9657]

As a college student I have a new found love of gel pens, smooth and quick to write with in lectures and is so vibrant

I love gel pens but want to try a rollerball pen. The Morning Glory sounds good as I am a lefty and feel more in control with a fine point. These videos are great. Very informative! I mean how else are you going to know about different kinds of pens? Packaging doesn’t tell you enough and can be misleading. And who wants to stand staring at a vast selection of pens at the store trying to decide which is best for you?!? Thank you JetPens!

For drawing use, ball pen is the best, to my surprise, the cheaper ones perform even better, cus the oil-ink is not ez to show deep black which means you could get extra shades by changing your pressure on it. Try it and you will be surprised.

[@origamichik3n]

Another disadvantage of the ballpoint pens is that ink gets even thicker in lower temperatures. My university had some old buildings that did get pretty cold in winter and ballpoints were very difficult to write with. Gel pens were life saviors. I think, Pentel ones were the most popular.

[@ecksdog]

I’m Uni all the way since most every ink in their line is waterproof and archival. Jetstream- Best all around pen. Used for EDC and check writing. Vision Elite- long writing sessions and sketching. Power Tank- way better than Fisher Space pen for outdoor work with a variety of surfaces and and writing angles. Works great with Rite in Rain paper and Field Notes Expedition Paper. I can’t seem to get on board the gel pen train. When going from outside to inside temperatures and changes to barometric pressure gel pens have a tendency to ooze ink.

[@tbayless8324]

The pen companies are always coming out with better pens, I am getting confused. I come from the Bic Cristal ballpoint era, most people don't know how good they have it now. All we had was a choice of Black/ Blue/Red, now you have a 64 -box of crayon colors unimaginable at your grasps which is really cool. I am grateful for all the fun that I can have now with all these pens. I like taking a break and getting away from the keyboard and writing for a change.

Then there's the fountain pen- expensive upfront but they save in the long-run as bottled ink is typically the price of a set of 2 rollerballs but will out last them by several times over. Fountains are also the smoothest writing being zero pressure come in whatever the ink you want and are also a discussion piece.

[@fluffypancakes899]

I’m just gonna put this out there: If you’re a lefty and love gel pens, get the Pentel Energel. As a lefty, I LOVE it! It dries fast and doesn’t smear. Plus, it is sooo smooth to write with. It doesn’t break the bank either. It comes in different pen bodies as well so you have a lot of options. I LOVE IT!!!! Honestly, the whole Pentel Energel line is *chef’s kiss*

[@sweetaener]

im pretty late but as a lefty, i swear by it lmao

[@TheBayFoto]

Not a lefty (and also pretty late lol), but the Energel is a great pen. I’m particular to the needle point tip. Probably one of my favorite pens of all time.

[@PongoXBongo]

Pilot G2 1.0mm gel pens have been my go-to for many years. Their G2 minis are perfect for carrying in a pocket or glove box. Plus, the rainbow array of color options is great for color-coding tasks. With gel pens, I never have to "swirl test" to warm them up, they just work the first time, every time.

[@RikthDcruze]

I use a ball point for daily writing. I'm from India so most of the stuff here is still done by hand through writing. Students like me can go through 6-7 ballpoints in a month. Where as gel pens won't last last half as long. Roller balls r for exams and important stuff. Or for writing information that I need last a long time.

[@HarukaTavares]

My favourite kind of pen to write is the rollerball because it hurts less my hand. I use uni-ball eye micro myself. Despite of that I also have gel and ballpoint pens to adapt to other situations. In terms of colour availability in ballpoint pens, the best range I know is from BIC: there is a pack of fifteen different colours with 1,6mm tips (which might not please those who like a thinner writing). PaperMate hasn't this many colours but they have around ten different colours for their 1,0mm pens and the writing feel is incredibly smooth!

[@XenoFireStar]

My favorite pens are none of the above. Fountain pens. Great ergo because you don't have to use any pressure at all, it will write under it's own weight. All the colors in the world. A wide variety of tips including stubs and flex. Depending on the ink, waterproof, archival, fraud resistant etc. The only thing about them is they don't do so well on cheap paper, but even that you can make work by getting the finest nib you can and a ink that doesn't run as much. My pick is Noodler's X-Feather.

My list of when to use what pen: At anywhere and need to write something down, or you want lab rat pens, use a ballpoint pen. For everyday use, rollerball pen. For taking notes or need something to last, use a gel pen. For professional writing (i.e signing something or writing a comic book), use a fountain pen. And if you are in the 1700's, use a quill.

I have a pen called Pro X-Tank, not sure who makes it though. It is a roller ball that writes smooth as a Cadillac. I like to draw and doodle alot when I'm bored. My favorite to use the pen on is napkins, just something about how the ink takes to them. Of course they drink alot so they run out alot, but I refill mine. I have mastered the art of taking it apart, cleaning it and re supplying the ink. Call me crazy or whatever, but it is that good and worth it to ME.

[@Harlem55]

I go with a fountain. Gel and roller balls still require some pressure where a fountain pen does not require any pressure. They also are smoother than anything else. Plus you have alit more inks to choose from and they're refillable without having to buy cartridges if you have a converter. So you're saving both money and saving the environment in the process.

I work in Quality for an automobile manufacturer. All Quality write-ups must be in red. We can use any brand or type of pen. as long as it is red. By far. the choice by my Quality co-workers is the Pilot G-2. The only real drawbacks to this pen I know of are it has a tendency to skip if there is any contamination on the paper and the ink disappears if left in direct sunlight for any amount of time. But this is caused by people leaving paperwork on the dash instead of the door pocket on the driver's side, where it is suppose to be placed. I love to write. I also have a Space Pen for my personal use.

My fav is fountain 🖋️ . It writes smooth, and all you need is an ink bottle and tomoe river paper!

I love Gel Pens but I'm left-handed so they always smudge.

I prefer ballpoint pens. But I like jel pens, rollerball pens, hybrid pens. I don't want to miss anything.

Ballpens for poor guys like me

i used to love gel pens but then even the ones I loved would skip a lot on my papers, like the pilot juice pen and the Pentel energel, I now use mostly ballpoint pens like bic because I have 1 that hasn't given up on me yet

I really like ball point pens for drawing/sketching, if you dont press too hard you can make a nice light color, just like how pencils do. Theyre nice if you want to practice drawing and you are trying to avoid erasing things in order to be more comfortable with mistakes. I found myself a really heavy ballpoint pen that was being sold in an antique store of sorts, it has a steampunk look to it. The tip of the pen resembles a bullet shell, you push the pen tip down via a little lever that slides through a J shaped hole instead of the typical I shaped hole. Im pretty sure the pen was made out of a bullet shell and it was just separated into 4 pieces and made longer via multiple adornments, one of which being a piece of resin or something of the sort with a loose swirl of the colors burgundy, black, and off white, interspersed with swirls of gold sparkles. Its a nice pen and i probably didn't need to describe it, but it made me happy to :)
