Many pens are designed to have their ink replaced and replacement ink cartridges are sold.

https://www.amazon.com/Pentel-EnerGel-Deluxe-Retractable-Liquid/dp/B00X8YJSV2

I use these pens because they write really well and are fairly inexpensive. But you can still find refills even for these relatively cheap pens.

https://www.amazon.com/Pentel-Refill-EnerGel-Liquid-0-7mm/dp/B002IYT1QK

Even if you're using low end BIC's you can buy refills.

These. I love these.

Paper Mate InkJoy Gel Pens, Fine Point, Assorted Colors, 8 Count https://www.amazon.com/dp/B019QBODBU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_.gvPCbMWW7YCD

Besides dark chocolate and an orgasm, those pens will most certainly help.

Oh wow, great questions! Umm...

  1. Watercolor, cotton hot-press paper, painter's tape, and sometimes a quick sketch underneath. I add eye highlights with white ink, and sometimes use black ink too. Each painting is built up from several layers, light-to-dark. They take anywhere from 30 minutes to 6 hours, depending on my energy level (unpredictable internal weather) and how many layers the piece wants. I try to stagger multiple paintings at once since I have to wait for each layer to dry before doing the next one.

  2. I would say this one, because it was a real breakthrough moment, in learning to let go and take the photo in a direction I want.

  3. Oh that's hard, like picking a favorite author... off the top of my head, megaswan kicks some digital ass!

  4. Don't change anything, lol. Maybe creating an easy way to find other contributing artist's blogs/dA/etc?

  5. I discovered it probably through the links at /r/sketchdaily

  6. Read Art and Fear. And draw every day :) It's just like practicing any other skill; time and patience are rewarded.

  7. High contrast photos are easier to work with, and 3/4th head shots are more interesting, so I always scan the new submissions for those types of photos.

  8. redish and yellowish brown ;) Source: venus and mars

From left to right

Cevinee Classic - bought more for the looks than anything else.

Grifiti Dootle - came with a fantastic mechanical pencil as well.

Big I Design Ti-Arto - I prefer retractable pens, but I couldn't pass up a pen that will work with pretty much all of the refills I have... and I have a lot of them. Great piece of gear.

Big I Design - Ti-click Classic - I just got this pen. It's a companion for my (not pictured) Click Pro.

Lamy Tipo - My first (and so far only) Lamy pen, it's not my favorite. Nice gimmicky pen, but I barely use it.

Wolfram Bolt Action - One of my kickstarter finds, this is a solid freaking pen. Tungsten is a heavy metal. You could probably bludgeon someone with this thing. It didn't come with a clip and it came with a sub-par spring, so it kind of sat in my collection for a few weeks. However, once I slapped a Fisher Space Pen clip on it and swapped the spring for a longer, stronger one this became a formidable entry into my EDC.

Karas Kustoms Render K - Got this on a Massdrop. I can appreciate the workmanship, but I can't jive with a cap that can't be screwed or otherwise attached to the back of the pen. That's how I lose them.

Pilot Axiom - My new favorite pen. It only takes the Dr. Grip Center of Gravity ink. Not a bad refill, but it doesn't leave any room for alternatives.

Cross Tech 2 - I would use this a helluvalot more if it weren't a twist pen.

Cross Click Classic - I would use this one a helluvalot more if it weren't so dang skinny.

For all the pilots get the refill cartridges at Staples cheaper than online.

Good (cheap) ink brands are noodlers, waterman's, diamine, and Parker.

Also r/fountainpens is a good resource.

Anyone else can and should add on to this if you want to.














u/iconoclastic_magpie · 4 pointsr/pens

I've spent a lot of time on JetPens learning about the different brands.

My personal favorites:
As far as fountain pens, I like the Pilot Kakuno. I like the design, they write nicely, and are pretty cheap.

Muji Gel Ink Ballpoint pens

Pilot Hi-Tec-C Maica

Pilot Juice

Unibal Signo UM-151

If you have are interested in erasable pens (highlighters, markers), I recommend Pilot Frixion. There are a ton of options.

u/mypanda · 4 pointsr/medicalschool

Or even just regular pens! Med students and residents seem to love this kind of pen, though my personal favorite is this kind, which has ultra fine points.

u/defrgthzjukiloaqsw · 3 pointsr/Showerthoughts
u/bg1256 · 3 pointsr/pens

The Pentel Philography might be a good option: https://smile.amazon.com/Pentel-Philography-Pen-Turquoise-Blue/dp/B01LRWIJXO

I have one and like if.

The Libretto looks a little classier in pictures but I haven’t ever owned one: https://smile.amazon.com/Pentel-Libretto-Roller-Black-K600PG/dp/B01B25B4AQ

I mention these because I love the EnerGel refills.

u/TheHipsterOwl · 3 pointsr/bulletjournal

Well I love Papermate pens and use flair (felt-tipped) personally, which DO show through. But I also use their gel-pens, and I love them. I don't know how they hold up on moleskin pages, but these pens are amazing: Papermate Inkjoy. They're not nearly as classy as some of the pens other bullet journalists like to use, but they fit my price point and they write really well.

u/akorvemaker · 3 pointsr/pens

A couple other similar suggestions:

Energel Alloy

Zebra Sarasa Grand

Both are inexpensive click-style metal pens that fit the Energel, Sarasa, and Signo 207/307 refills.

If the Energel Style (sometimes called the Philography) isn't your style, one of those might work well. From what I've read, people seem to like the Style/Philography quite a bit. The Sarasa Grand seems good, though some people hate the way the clip sticks up and blocks the clicker. I have the Energel Alloy. It's decent, and seems solidly made. For the price, they all seem to be good pens.

u/MaestroCleansing · 3 pointsr/pens

I have a suggestion, not sure how you’ll like it.

TL; DR Pentel Energel Style. It’s a twist action metal pen, but the satisfying feeling it provides and wide range of refill compatibility make it a worthwhile purchase for around $15.



I am a long-time user of Pilot g2 and Signo 207/307 refills in 0.5. They are great, and easily/cheaply acquired when lost. I also had the issue of pen bodies breaking. (Strong grip, maybe I needed a pencil case too?

Anyway, I went a slightly different route. Pentel makes their Energel refills (gel) in a needle-style form, which is comparable in size with Pilot g2 and signo refills. (These refills are super cheap, like 10 bucks for a pack of 12. I buy them often, due to constant sales and deals.)

Here’s a link to the refills: Pentel Refill for Energel (0.5mm black, needle tip)

My favorite pen body is actually the one that the Pentel refills came with, the Pentel Energel Style. Despite the funny name, it’s a metal pen with a satisfying retraction, and can fit g2, signo, Energel, Jetstream, and more types of refills.

Here’s a link to the pen. Pentel Energel Style Pen (0.7mm), black barrel

*this pen comes with a 0.7mm refill, but it would fit any refill similar to the signo and G2.

I much prefer this body to that of the signo or Pilot. It’s powder-coated metal, giving the pen a balanced and weighty feeling.

Hope this helps!

u/GMcrates · 3 pointsr/EDC

Cross click pen should do it! Actually it's slightly skinnier than many standard pencils.

Link to example but you can find them for less, different colors, etc.

Edit: Also, Staedtler Triplus Fineliner is skinnier than the Sharpie, could also work for you, but it feels like my Cross click is actually skinnier.

u/AllOfTimeAndSpace · 2 pointsr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

I'm in school too. I actually just bought most of my textbooks today. Cha-ching! Had to get my husbands as well. Sigh, one of my classes has FOUR textbooks for it this coming semester. I go to the University of Victoria and I am working on two degrees right now. I'm primarily finishing up my Anthropology degree. I should be done that at the end of next summer. However, I am also working on my Psychology degree. I'm not officially listed as being in Psychology but the advisor said I can start working on the classes I need for it for when I'm done anthro. It will take about another two years to finish my Psych degree. I actually just finished my summer semester up and got pretty good grades! I got an A in my developmental psychology course, an A- in my cultural anth course, and a B in my archaeology course. I am not a fan of archaeology. Still, I could have done better.

One neat thing about my school is that it tends to have a broad-based curriculum. For instance, with anthropology when you go off to graduate school you tend to specialize in something. You can specialize in medical anthropology or just in cultural in general, or you could specialize in archaeology in general or in coastal archaeology, etc. At UVic it is broad so your MA in anthro is your MA in anthro. You don't really have a speciality. Instead, you have to take courses and learn stuff from all the main disciplines.

This pen would help me out a lot as it's pretty comfortable to write with and I take a lot of notes at school and talk to a lot of people where I have to take notes. Anthropology and psychology equals a lot of writing!

These notebooks would be fantastic because in anthro we have to journal a lot and keep field notes and just, as I mentioned, write a lot. And these are fantastic quality and don't break quickly like others I've used.

Finally, these thank you notes would be amazing as I sometimes get bursaries and need to write thank you cards. Or these pens would be helpful as we have to make a stupid amount of posters in anthropology. Yes, I actually prefer writing a paper to doing up a poster. We get marks on how visually appealing it is as well as how relevant it is.

I think all of the stuff I listed can be found in my stationery/art folder if I win. :) Any one of the item would be a huge help in my school career. It's a shame that it's so expensive to go, still, I am grateful for the opportunity to do so.

u/gft13 · 2 pointsr/pens

I recently stumbled upon/bought the Pentel Libretto and love it way more than any other iteration of the Energel or Sarasa I’ve ever found. Worth a shot! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01B25B4AQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_ZgJCCbXZHTGRA

u/Itsjack92 · 2 pointsr/pens

The pilot limited is a great pen and the grip offers a lot of cushion. I have one myself and use it in conjunction with my Rotring 600 for most daily things. I often end up using the limited for
note-taking because, like you, I write with a death grip and apply a lot of pressure. I very rarely get pain when writing with it. I have used fountain pens and as much as I love them, I don't think they're the best for note-taking. These are the opinions of a CS/Math student too. Good luck finding your pen! It took me a while to find the right one for me. PM if you have any other questions!

I don't know if my paints, brushes or paper are just crap quality, but i can never get watercolours to blend like that so effortlessly! Water doesn't carry the pigments as much as i want it to, and it's kinda frustrating when i feel like doing a picture with more empty spaces than outlines and such.

Also yes white gel pens are the best! What kind are you using might i ask? I've currently got a couple of these hanging around to add that extra shimmer :D

u/JoeyJpm · 2 pointsr/EDC

Left to right, top to bottom:



Pens & Tools (I rotate my pocket pen & keep the rest in my bag. Logic dictates when to and which tool to carry.):



Leatherman Supertool Original with sheath - It's crazy to think, but this was retired before I was born. Several of my family members used to work in hardware stores so occasionally these things are found lying around brand new.

Leatherman Juice CS4 - Great little tool, it fits in my pocket without any notice.

Zebra F-701 .7 Black - Great look & feel but it writes like shit. Anyone know a good refill that fits?

Pentel EnerGel .7 Black - Incredibly smooth & bold, not too big a fan of the look.

G2 .38 & .7 Black - G2s, nuff said.

Uniball Signo 207 .7 Black - Comparable to the G2, but it has a metal clip.

Did you notice I put the EnerGel in here twice? - Because I didn't

Frixion Erasable .7 Black - Ink is really sort of grayish, but it still beats white-out.




Everything Else:



Panasonic RP-HJE120-K IEMS - Perfect for people who are afraid of breaking or losing their buds. I wrap them around a binder clip and attack it to a belt loop with a carabiner.

Keys, Bottle Opener, PNY USB Drive - The flash drive has lubuntu on it. The opener is exclusively for mexican corner store drinks.

Best Made Co. Pocket Notebook - This isn't exactly the one I have but it is the closest I could find.

Dollar Store Notepad - It was 3 for dollar. Would you not buy it?

Dockers Trifold Leather Wallet - Not even close to the one I have, but still the closest they still make.



Not included: School ID, Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime (Direct picture quality complaints to Samsung except for the lighting, that's just because I suck.)

Pentel EnerGel 0.7 mm are awesome. I've been using them forever -- they even say on the packaging that they're great for lefties because they dry SO FAST. After years of smudged papers and ink on my hand, these were a godsend.

u/pukebear · 2 pointsr/RandomActsofMakeup

I know it's makeup related but I fell like this mixing palette is still a weird thing to have on my list. I just really want one to mix lip tars, foundations, etc.

Also, by looking trhough my wishlist for this, I realized I totally have gel pens on my list. I don't remember putting them on there and they definitely aren't makeup-related.

We all know interspecies romance is weird

u/cuntosaurus_rex · 2 pointsr/travel

I've been to Berlin, Amsterdam, Paris, Interlaken, Florence, Rome and just outside of Milan in Lake Como/Menaggio out of those that you just listed.

Don't spend too much time in Milan. The Duomo is spectacular, but unless you're into fashion like me, there's not much else worth seeing under time constraints. Also, when you say Interlaken, I hope you are including Gimmelwald! It's only a 45 minute cheap train/cable car ride away. Trust me, you will thank me after your trip I garantee it ;)!

I would suggest that you go to Cinque Terre also before heading to Florence (about 1.5 hour train ride) and do the full hike.

Now for the Eurail pass. Every time you want to take the train using your pass, you have to get a ticket printed by the cashiere at the ticket desk. After that, you board the train and at some point during the ride, a man will be walking around stamping your ticket. At first, I was giving the guy my ticket with my Eurail pass at the same time, so he would stamp both. However, I started giving them my ticket only without my pass and they would (90% of the time), only stamp my ticket without asking to see/stamp my pass. I guess they don't always check to see whether the ticket was acquired using the pass and probably focus more on checking the date and time. Once I'd get off the train, I'd erase my entry using this exact pen (I paid 4-5$ max for it, not 24$ like Amazon suggests!). I tried many pens prior, and this was the only one that completely erased from the Eurail pass.

Now, it's up to you to chose how many travel days you would like to have on your pass. I traveled Europe in the summer of 2010, and if I remember correctly, I bought the pass with 7 days of travel, when I actually needed 10 in my initial itinerary just in case. I ended up using it for about 14 voyages. It's a risk to take, and I wouldn't want to influence your decision. Remember that if you get caught, you will probably lose your pass altogether.

Pentel EnerGel

Black Ink, Archival, Waterproof (mostly)

It’s the most comfortable pen to write it’s as my hand doesn’t fatigue as much with gel pens. The ink is smooth and dries rather quickly. Sometimes, I’ll get my drink that drips across the pages - it smudges the ink a bit but doesn’t wash anything away like Papermate InkJoy pens (which were my previous favorite).

Also I keep the pen bodies and just get the cartridge refills.

u/statdance · 2 pointsr/pens

Don't sacrafice comfort, you will change your mind later if you do. Lots of pens use g2 refills, like the g2 limited on amazon. It's a nice upgrade from the plastic g2.

u/falconerd343 · 1 pointr/pharmacy

My pen of choice is a Pentel EnerGel pen: https://www.amazon.com/Pentel-EnerGel-Premium-Liquid-BL407ABPA/dp/B00AZEK9RU
They have a nice heft to them and they look classy. If you rub a label too fast after writing on it, it can smear a bit, but let it dry for a few seconds and it's fine. Plus you can get refills on Amazon 12 for $10.

u/jaaardstyck · 1 pointr/The_Donald

I'm a fully devoted G2 man. Even then, $15 felt like a pretty steep investment over the regular ones. https://www.amazon.com/Pilot-Limited-Retractable-Metallic-31153/dp/B0010NL4BU

u/khedoros · 1 pointr/AskReddit

It looks like the pen itself is fairly easy to get a few different places:

Amazon

Wal-Mart

As far as the Fentora emblem, my guess is that it was custom-printed by a pharma rep or something. Do you consider that a defining characteristic of the pen?

u/Cheddarlishous · 1 pointr/bulletjournal

I have found a few pens I like for different reasons. Papermate inkjoy gel dry really fast, even the thick ones I use. I think you can buy just black too.... I would suggest getting smaller than you think because the ink really comes out. My other pens I like 0.7, but the 0.7 here is too thick for me...

For not bleeding through anything I like the uniball signo. I've linked the 0.38 because I got them because they dried faster, but I prefer the look and feel of the 0.7's. I'm looking for 0.5's too... I like them, but they definitely start having into continuity issues once they're about halfway used.

u/gltw · 1 pointr/pens

I would go with the Cross. I had one for a long time, and I really enjoyed it. It wrote very smoothly. I've moved on to fountain pens now, but if I ever go back to roller ball, Cross is definitely my favorite.

While I enjoy a luxury pen, my preference for rapid note taking is the Pentel Energel. It rivals my fountain pens in smoothness, and just glides over the page. Honestly, I would say that it is smoother than some of the Cross pens I have used. The only drawback is that these go through ink pretty quickly; I used one about every 2 weeks in college.

I'm a fan of the Pilot G2 Mini when I just need to jot quick notes. Doesn't take up much room at all. The only real problem is the ink runs out relatively quickly, especially when writing long winded notes.

For everything else, I use a SS Parker Jotter with Fisher Space Pen refill

I know this thread is a week old, but in the chance that you haven't made a decision yet, I would like to recommend the Pentel Energel Style(or Philography, same pen, different name basically and the philography comes with a cheap little case). It uses the same ink as the Pentel Energel disposable pen you show that she likes, but it is a classier pen body and only runs $10-20 depending on where you purchase it. I have seen them on ebay for $9 each or 2 for $18. On Amazon they usually run $15-20 each. I've used $800+ pens(that I didn't own), and would prefer my Energel Style over anything.

I get you Lily. That fry looks amazing.

Where have you been all my life, Chris?

Since school has started, I'd love these pens off my highest priority list

u/datbattlelyfe · 1 pointr/AskMen

9 Dollars, worth every penny. The squishy grip on this thing is out of this world.

My husband and I use a combination of Trello and paper notebooks. He uses Trello mainly while I only use it for household items. I prefer the joy of writing with pens on paper. (I have really nice pens and notebooks that I love.)

I tried to get into bullet journaling but what ended up happening was that I just made a do-it-yourself planner, but that keeps me engaged enough to do it most weeks and follow it. I've been ridiculously successful with it the last month or so, getting tons of work done on good days and even a little bit of work done on not-so-great days.

I used to be very adverse to lists. I never understood the point. Why would I go through all the trouble of making a list if I was just going to forget to look at it? How could people manage a daily planner? But then I started carrying a notebook around with me everywhere. I had a backpack anyway, I might as well put something in it! So about a year ago I started carrying one. Drs? Notebook. Library? Notebook. Church? Notebook. My whole life is spread across a few of them, sure. And I now have a stupid assortment of pens from trying all the latest and greatest styles available, also sure. But I'm getting stuff done, and remembering important events. I don't look at it every day, but I'm like "oh yeah, on Monday I wanted to do the laundry today!" so I do the laundry. A tool is only as helpful as you make it, and I think I'm finally getting the point.

This one

TUL Medium Gel Pens

Uniball Signo 207 Premier

The grip on the premier is absolutely amazing.

I use [these Papermate Gel pens]( https://www.amazon.com/Paper-Mate-Retractable-Assorted-1951636/dp/B019QBOG3U/ref=sr_1_3?crid=12KDA8HXNFHPA&keywords=papermate+gel+pens+0.7&qid=1563355919&s=gateway&sprefix=paper+mate+gel+%2Caps%2C236&sr=8-3 ). They don't bleed through, they dry relatively fast, and they don't smudge when colored over with markets. Oh and they write super smooth.

u/safeXcamp · 1 pointr/TrollXChromosomes

Aww yeah the .38mm. It's just a ballpoint pen but it's very fine and I've sworn fealty to this pen for the rest of my life.

u/himeeho · 1 pointr/pens

Pentel Energel. Yes it's gel but it dries so fast you can't tell. This is coming from a lefty who specifically bought this pen so it wouldn't smudge.

Edit: added link

u/wentzelg · 1 pointr/pens

I have some of those myself and I agree they are really nice. I was lucky to have my work put me up for a meeting at the RC and well lets just say I kept "losing" the pens each day, so I am good for a while. :)

Personally I hate the cross refill though. Some pens I have that are close would be:

https://www.amazon.com/Pentel-EnerGel-Style-Medium-Barrel/dp/B0776M8VY1

not quite as thin but a nice feel and comes in black. Gel is a bonus for me.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07K7YJFZK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1

again not quite as thin but it is a jet stream refill so it is super smooth and not gel if you don't like that.

I think either is a really close runner up to the RC ones and in my mind better because they aren't cross refills.

that's why you buy this. They are amazing!

u/slybird · 1 pointr/EDC

On the road I carry a black Uniball Jetstream or black Pilot G2 Mini when size is an issue. The Jetstream writes great and the Mini is small, but mostly they are cheap I will not be upset if I leave them behind. I don't carry a pencil, but if I did it would be a wood #2.

u/freakingwilly · 1 pointr/mildlyinteresting

As far as clicking pens go, the Pilot G2 Limited gets my vote. The color selection is much nicer and the rubber grip is a welcome bonus.

Unfortunately, the ink in Pilot G2's takes too long to dry, so it's not lefty friendly. I'm not a lefty, I just like quick drying ink.

u/jaspertouben · 1 pointr/writing

Oh man, .38 pens are the best! Have you ever tried the erasable ones? That was one of my best discoveries when I was in Japan!

Speaking of Japan, I got on a big whiskey kick while I was there. What's your go-to? And do you have an opinion on whiskey stones?

u/_luftmensch · 1 pointr/bulletjournal

Oh thank you! I am glad you like it! I use a locally-known brand as I am not from the US but they are called the Dong-A Mygel Pens-- they are a line called "MyMetal" and I found a link for them on Amazon !

u/hairyharryli · 1 pointr/todayilearned

Cross Click. The writing is as smooth or smoother than Pilot G2. Very slim and sleek. Strong, sturdy metal build. I don't know how much writing you do, but if you write a lot, refill might be a concern. I haven't gone back to any other pen since owning this pen. Just try not to lose it or loan it to others.

Here, that's the one. Didn't pay much more than the price that's listed.

u/1am1am · 0 pointsr/funny

I use the Cross Gel Ink and it's fantastic. Writes all the time, it's great for spinning in your fingers while bored and despite my dropping it a few times on the street and bouncing around, it still looks like the day I bought it. The click function is also satisfying and doesn't squeal or rattle.
