Regular Pen Discussion / What Is The Worst Pen To Write With?

    Basically, this thread is pretty much supposed to recommend what pens not to buy for writing. Post the pens that don't write so well in this thread. :) For me, Bic's and Profiles/Anyballs don't have the best ink quality, and both of their inktubes rattle a little, but that's minor. The light ink is what gets to me. I think the worst of the two would be a Bic, b/c it doesn't have a grip or anything at all, unless you have a Bic Round Stic, but those things barely have noticeable grips. They're actually not too bad, but G-2's are better. I think an RSVP is the borderline for me, the ink is actually lighter than a Profile's, but at least the ink tube doesn't rattle and the tip is sharp (fine tip), I dislike pens with round tips for some reason. Anyways, post your opinions here.

    Never buy the one that won't write. The pen is a lie.

    China brands like M&G. Ink doesnt flow but they are cheap and have useful grips XD

    Pilot Pens that is similar to a mini RSVP. A few Drops, that's it. Ink is totally gone.

    My experience includes Signo DXes which are too fine for me and spoil once I drop it.

    pens suck because their ink is no good...so pens that ink suck suck.

    China brand pens, or pens with no brand. Used it once during an exam. My essay went from dark blue to light blue then dark blue again ._.

    RSVP tends to ooze out too much ink when tips are busted. Same can be said for Signo DX's

    I pretty much hate the way all ballpoint pens write. The ink in Hyperjells comes out a bit fast and tends to bleed a lot. I'm not a big fan of G3s either, the .5 ones tend to be quite scratchy. Hi-Tec C and G-tecs can be scratchy but the ink flow is very smooth.
