Pilot Ilmily Nuance - Pilot's Best Gel Pen?

[pencomparer]

Another reviewer compared this refill to the Pilot Juice because the refill is the same size and looks similar, however I don't think this is the case. This refill has performed differently for me than other Pilot gel pens, so I suspect the formula is different.

 

I've found this pen to write quite smoothly (for a 0.5mm tip) without skipping, fast drying, and with very attractive colour options. I would love to try it in a 0.7mm tip to see how it would compare to its competitors in terms of smoothness, but it definitely is in the top-tier for a 0.5. I will say though, that I've always had trouble with skipping when it comes to permanent inks in other gel pens, and this is probably one of the best so far in terms of reliability. It also has a richer, nicer colour in my opinion, compared to the Ballsign ID Plus, and without the railroading.

 

I tried transferring this refill into other gel pen bodies, including Zebra Sarasa, Kokuyo, Uni, Pentel Energel, Papermate, and some others, and it does not fit...
