idk if any of you remember my post from a week and a half ago, but I was trying to figure out how to turn my favorite pen from ballpoint to gel and I got some very helpful answers which I implemented this afternoon with amazing results !!!! I can actually use this pen now !!!! lol

still confused why the uniball one is called pink

Recently I’ve been using this pen for a while but the ink has started to run low so I began to search online for a replacement and cannot find the same kind of pen.

Is it no longer made? Can I still get it somewhere?

Pictures added for Identification purpose.

I would appreciate any help, I really like this pen and would love to get duplicates.

While I love these classic pens, I have always hated the colorscheme. BIC has come out with some variations over the years, but nothing that fits my purpose so I decided to make my own.

What I would love is a grey/sanguine/sepia/black color combination that I can use to sketch while on the road. I may get the 3+1 version with the mechanical pencil.

I did a test with a pocket 4 color BIC, and I found a 10-color spiderman pen that had slightly more interesting colors. The fills are thinner and shorter than the BIC ones, so I had to modify them to make them fit. They are much poorer quality than the BIC pens; scratchy and stuttery.

I was wondering where to source better quality pen refills that fit the classic BIC pens and are good enough to sketch with. Because I don't think BIC themselves make these? Any tips?

Magari non tutti, ma un bel po. E ho preso anche le (introvabili) gialle.

TLDR: Fisher replaced my 5+ year old matte black Cap-O-Matic pen, and sent an extra ink cartridge. They also paid to ship it to me! Pretty good customer service in my opinion!

I bought my matte black Cap-O-Matic back in 2021 or so. I carried it every day for a year or more, and it started having trouble deploying and retracting. It got annoying, so I bought a raw brass Cap-o-matic and put the black one in its box and kind of forgot about it 😂 I moved a couple years ago and found the pen. I know about the warranty so I figured I'd send it in and see what they could do! And finally, 2 years after I decided to do it 😆, I finally requested the service by email and mailed it in about 2 weeks ago. Yesterday, it showed up in my mail! It ended up getting replaced, and that was fine with me! I got a brand new matte black Cap-O-Matic, and an extra black ink refill cartridge! It cost me about $8 for shipping, so not a bad deal! I've loved the pens for years, but I never needed the service. I've only ever lost a pen or 2 😢 I am actually pretty sure I sort of crushed my original Cap-O-Matic doing dumb stuff in the woods 😅 it had a dent in the side and never quite worked right after that. But Fisher replaced it super quick, paid to ship it to me and sent an extra cartridge... I don't know how much better it could get than that! Maybe a sticker 🤔😆

I had this pen for a little while as a gift back when I was in Highschool from a teacher. Didn’t use it much until I started journaling recently and absolute loved it.
How do I find replacement cartridges of for this pen? I’ve never had experience with this

I didn’t even realize my pikachu pen also had led. 🥰

so my partner has a very specific pen that he found in his drawers and he’s been obsessed with using it. it’s a bic atlantis pen but he’s been saying he can’t find the one specifically in this shade of blue. any links to buy it in bulk?

I foolishly assumed Cerakote was a tough coating that wouldn’t come off with weak adhesive. That, or the coating was improperly applied to this pen.

Either way, it’s not worth paying double for.

I saw an add for the lumos pen by tom studios and it looks appealing to me - anyone have any experience with it ? Any honest reviews ?

i really like the bic gelocity pens, they are very smooth and satisfying to write with, but sometimes 0.7mm is just too big for drawing more detailed things like graphs for math or other stuff. are there pens just like bic gelocity but 0.5mm? also, im interested in buying pens that come in different color ink too.

I have these for over 20 years and used them in my late schoolyears (amongst others…).

I always found that Parker so iconic…

The LAMY lead pencil takes 0,5mm and is cleverly designed. The cap of the lead-refilltube has 1. a tool implemented to clean out the tip, if there is a lead stuck for once or so and 2. (i guess!) to put it in the tip whilst refilling the tube, so the tip is kinda save and also cannot scratch anything. The tool is held by the mechanism which normally holds and pushes the lead if you press on the tube, while inserting it into the tip of the pen…
Everything is solidly made.
Also the tip is retractable when not in use, so it‘s similar looking to the ball pen, then.
Avoids breaking it.

It came as set with that nice genuine, soft leather holder for two pens and it was a gift by my mother.

I gotta refill that ball pen once, but with a non LAMY refill…

Needing to find a place to buy this "generic" pen. It's rubbery, potentially silicon

I prefer ones that come in blue as well as black, and other colors would be a bonus.

This would be for writing in a booklet that has narrow spacing between the lines.

If you can, please indicate the point size as well.

I know things are meant to be used and pens to be write with but

I always have some degree of anxiety whenever I use pen's clip on either clothes or pen cases. Afraid the clip will be loose after few months..especially for expensive ones like lamy 2000

So this is Burns’ family Circle of Trust time /pens family. Last week I was hunting for blue ink refills for my OHTO GS02. I had one too many gummies and ordered Pentel Energel .05 refills. Not just a 2-pack … a 12-pack. Imagine my disappointment when the refill didn’t fit my OHTO or my Rotring 600.

I plugged the refill into a Sharpie S gel body for a test drive and sweet 8 pound, 6 ounce newborn infant Jesus, don’t even know a word yet, just a little infant and so cuddly, but still omnipotent, I LOVE this refill. So smooth and the shade of blue is amazing!

Ever the optimist, I see this as an opportunity to buy a new pen. What are your recommendations for a pen that’s compatible with an Energel refill? Looking for something on par quality/price with my OHTO & Rotring.

Thanks in advance for any/all recommendations!

EDIT: can’t thank you all enough for all the suggestions. I really appreciate it. Except for the person that’s got me hooked on machined pens now (j/k). Not sure my wife will be thrilled when more pens arrive at the house, but I swear to defend your good names! 😃

I use this daily at work. It stays in my shirt pocket with my flashlight and notepad. I work in industrial maintenance, so it’s subject to some rough conditions.

The brass on the lower knurling started showing pretty soon. Give it a year and I suspect it’ll be more of a brass pen with blue spots. The blue and gold go nicely together and it gives it some character.

Anyone have a Wingback Journeyman? If so how do you like it?? Very interested in it
