PILOTB2P - Bottle to Pen Refillable & Retractable Rolling Ball Gel Pen Made From Recycled Bottles, Fine Point, Purple G2 Ink, 12-Pack (31622)

These pens write smooth. They dont clump and leave globs of ink on paper or anywhere else. They are comfortable to hold. They are the best pens.

These pens are my husbands go to pen.

I love these pens. They write smooth, the blue gel color is crisp, they glide when you write and they last a long time. Great pens and the casing is blue which is a plus.

LOVE this pen! This is the most comfortable pen I have ever used. It is light weight fits in my hand very well. Writes very smoothly, no blotches, does not smear or fade. You can obtain refills in black, blue, red, purple or green on Amazon, Office Depot, Target, or any office supply place. People have borrowed my pend but don’t want to hand them back because they love them. It’s made from recycled bottles but not flimsy at all, very sturdy. comes in both fine 0.7 and medium sizes 1.0.

They are made from recycled water bottles. I was looking for a good pen for a while, one that doesn't clump, that writes nicely and clearly. This is it. Also, you can feel good about the fact that it is made from recyled materials.

I'm a Nurse so I can NEVER be without a pen however, the type of pen matters. These are the best pens hands down as they allow me to glide thru documents with no smudges and the perfect pigment of ink . I can honestly say that documenting with these pens make the task fun . I don't ever go to work without two in my pocket at all times. These pens are apart of my uniforms.

I enjoy the Pilot Retractable Gel Roller pens  Pilot G2 Ultra Fine Point Black Gel Ink Pens, Dozen Box, 31277  so I pretty much knew what to expect in the way of writing quality, smoothness and overall feel. I love a retractable pen and my pilot pens seem to conveniently "walk away". I like to keep a close eye on them and covet them. Gel roller pens are the kind of pen you will either love or hate. Some people prefer a straight up ball-point pen. These are slightly different.I absolutely love the look and feel of these pens. They feel similar enough in weight to the G2's I normally use but they have such a unique look (and story with the recycled bottles) that they are almost as much a novelty as they are functional. They are both novel AND extremely functional. They are novel enough so that you may be the only one in your office that uses these ... so they won't conveniently disappear. They work, they seem environmentally responsible and they are an interesting ice-breaker.Cool pens in many senses. If you like Gel Rollers, these are fantastic!

Once the novelty of the pen looking exactly like a bottle of water, right down to the label wrapping around its middle, wears off, the only thing left is how well the pen actually functions.Depending on the pen's intended purpose--writing general notes and memos, quick sketching, inking final art projects, addressing mail, or lettering invitations, etc.--satisfaction can vary widely. So, I'll look at this pen from various angles: comfort, ink quality, longevity, and nib sizing.When writing and taking notes, I prefer pens with grips close to the nib (or no grip at all) and that's the first thing I noticed about this pen. I'm able to hold it very close to the nib, which makes me do a happy flip.The pen itself is made of hard plastic and has roughly the girth of a standard fine Sharpie marker. However, the pen is very lightweight. People who prefer heavier writing pens will certainly want to avoid this, but people who write often will appreciate it because the hand becomes less fatigued while writing.The ink is exceptionally smooth (the blue ink more so than black), gliding over the paper and laying down even strokes of vivid color. I'm thoroughly impressed by the black ink's darkness. I personally wish the shade of blue was a bit lighter, but that's a personal quibble and didn't take away from the pen's overall rating. I did notice that after writing for a while (a few pages), the black ink began to skip and I needed to scribble a bit to get it flowing smoothly again. But IMO it didn't happen often or long enough to become a problem.Writing on generic white paper yielded no bleeding, however, the ink was clearly visible from the other side, so although you can write on both sides of the paper, single-sided writing is optimal. Used on high quality vellum and other ultra-smooth writing papers (think Rhodia or Clairefontaine), I found that the ink was easily smeared within a few seconds of writing. This might be a nonstarter for left-handed writers.As with most gel ink pens, the supply of ink runs out faster than the typical oil-based ballpoint pen. However, Pilot put an ample supply of ink in their barrels and you can expect to get ~30-40 8.5"x11" pages (writing top to bottom) before needing a refill. For most individuals it's plenty, and for students and others in writing intensive professions, it's quite reasonable.My only complaint is with the nib sizing/labeling. It wasn't very long ago that this pen would have been classified as a medium ballpoint (and in my mind, it still is based on the line it produces). So for those who prefer fine nibs, do not be fooled by the "Fine" in the description. This pen is 0.7mm; it's best to get this pen for the comfort, but grab the 0.5mm or 0.38mm refills.Since times are changing, it's best to rely on the actual nib sizing rather than the textual equivalent offered. I've uploaded a writing sample to illustrate how the different nib sizes vary.Yesteryear's nib sizing based on my experience:Micro or Ultra Fine: 0.18mm-0.3mmFine: 0.4mm-0.6mmMedium: 0.7mm-0.9mmFat or Wide: 1.0mm+To finish up, the Pilot B2P is a multi-purpose pen best suited for writing notes and the occasional memo. Artists and sketchers should proceed with caution because although it's acid-free, it's not water fast and can muddy the colors if using watercolors or water pencils. Artists and others looking for precision (for inking drawings or invitations or addressing letters) should look elsewhere.*This pen is not recommended for signing checks or other legal documents because it is not water fast. Pilot, however, does sell G2 refills with pigmented ink specifically for this purpose.**If you don't need a dozen pens, consider purchasing a couple  individual pens  and then refill as necessary.

These pens are my favourite for their size, weight, and how well they write. If someone uses one and starts to walk away with it, I will stop them and ask for it back.I lent one to my mom to use once while she was visiting and now they are also her favourite. Now I have to order two boxes on a regular basis: one for me, one for my mom. :)
