"Skipping" never happened to my Jetstream pen... It always writes smooth.
Jetstream is unique, functional pen I fell in love with. Never smear, best ink flow, so smooth. You cannot go back to regular oil-based ball point pens after you experience Jetatream series.

You know, regular pens use gravity to make smooth ink flow. You shouldn't use regular pens in horizontal position, (such as writing upside down, marking on a wall calendar, etc.) because the air gets in through the pen-tip, and it eventually causes line skipping. Exceptions are those "space pens." Power Tank has this function of "pressured gas pushing ink" technology.

Con of Jetstream pen is bleedthrough... it doesn't, when you write, then after couple of months, letters start showing oily residue & mild bleedthrough. So it is not great for journaling, but excellent for business use, daily use, student use.

I have been using Dr Grip series over decades.
It was must-have item when I was in elementary to high-school in Japan. Great grip, shaker function, and cool colors. Only con is that its grip gets yellowish, sticky, and dirty over 1-2 years. I guess, you can buy a new Dr.Grip every 1-2 years. Also, you can personalize it by inserting small-sized photo/art. I inserted a picture of my cat.

This is fantastic and really easy to use. I like that I get four templates in one easy to store item. I couldn't be happier.

This is /the best/ glue pen I've ever used. It doesn't clog, the glue holds on like a dream, and it's really easy to use. I do not foresee myself using any other glue pen from here on out.

Amazing MP.
For its affordable price, functional technology, and chic design. Its tip is metal & reliable, you can write precisely with minimum effort. The grip is hard rubber, which gives you maximum control & comfort. Clip is firm.

And its design... oh so beautiful. I got Stardust Blue. I just enjoy staring at my Opt MP. This MP makes studying & writing such a fun activity. Great for students, medical professionals, and travelers !!

The design is very nice. Traditional Japanese Kimono design.
I gave this to my friend as a gift for her art exhibition.

Hope she likes it!

Shape is interesting !! Individual, unique pen.

It writes smooth, and you can hold it without any effort.
The grip collects dusts & cat hair, but my husband likes this pen.

Very cute ckear pink barrel :)
The grip is clear color, and it matches with cute pink barrel.
Surari ink is extremely functional, and it never smears.
Pure black color ink. My basic ball-point pen.

It is so-so pen. I like the Surari ink; however, this pen is somehow making ink-leak dots here & there. (Regular Surari ink never does that.)
I love the color of barrel, retractable function, and its clear Blue-Green color. Lovely. My husband uses this as work pen. Not recommended for journal writing... great for work purpose !

I have bought this pen again and again. It has a great line and I love how it fits into small spaces. I agree with others who complain that it doesn't "click" when opened and extended. The odd thing is I think Zebra F-301 Compact pens I bought in the beginning DID click...but inexplicably they changed the design. Or, am I just imagining things. Perhaps if lots of us write to Zebra asking them to tweak the design a bit, they'll listen. Anyway, that little problem doesn't dampen my enthusiasm for this pen at all. I love it.
