I have gone through many gel pens from cheap to expensive. Many of the highly rated ones will still skip on some papers. On a visit to Office Depot I found Tul pens. I purchased the needle point medium gel. It works better than every pen I have ever had. The ink always flows with no skips. What is your opinion?

My opinion is that it’s not a fountain pen and therefore (for me) not usable. I only use fountain pens.

And that's why this post is in It Writes But It Is Not A Fountain Pen. fpn_tongue.png.12b57f0ee12476c5345e4cb8642d7634.png

Add lightness and simplicate.

I love the TUL pens because they are BROAD!!!  However, I've had trouble with them breaking on me. Nevertheless, I do acquire them.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

I’ve thought about getting some, but have not yet. I’ve gone down the customizable multi pen hole (Uni Style Fit, Pilot Coleto, Pentel i+ and Zebra Prefill and now Sarasa Select).
 

For awhile, I’d only buy fountain pens. I lost out on the Retro 51 Lift Off rollerball because of that.  At least I got the Retro 51 Space Race pens to make up for that.

I admit that my Sherpa and I have a lot of fun.

A Tül gel or rollerball pen, a grey/black unassuming number, found its way into the pen pot on my office desk and I enjoyed using it so much (more than a variety of pens I've had in mystery box subscriptions, for example) that when it was empty I purchased refills. My only complaint is that the rubbery grip has swelled up and is always moving up and down.  Maybe I should stop being a cheapskate and go buy a new one...  Definitely good value for money on those days when you reach for something other than a fountain pen.

I have used Tul gel pens, the refillable click pens (in case there are others), a fair amount, and have been pleased with the way they write. But for some reason I am rather hard on clips, and their clips don't hold up to very much abuse at all. So I don't buy them any more.

@Misfit  Very cool.

Thanks @amberleadavis there was no way I would not order that pen. There is another one with Love stamps. 

 

I really love the guy carrying the pen.

It’s a great brick and mortar store. I wish it were located in KC.  I have to content myself with shopping online with them.

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
