Pentel Sliccies Gel Ink Multi Pen Ink Cartridge - 0.4 mm - Golden Orange

So it turns out that I really like writing with this color. It definitely stands out, and it's not too light/pale that it's difficult to read. I've been using it in place of red for critiquing and small notes, and it really shines.

These refills are a big disappointment (Carrot Orange and Milk Blue). Especially after using the original Slicci 0.3.
I was expecting the same performance.

First, these refills are different than the ones found in the original Slicci barrel. The nib is shorter, smaller, and maybe even thinner. The tube itself is very skinny, not storing much ink. (These will not fit in the original Slicci barrel, in case you're wondering.)

On to performance. The ink flow is terrible. It gives out on almost every word. The pen needs to be held too perpendicular to get a consistent flow. Too uncomfortable for most, and even then, it sputters. I found myself augmenting my writing just to get it to stop skipping (severe angle, slowing down, writing smaller).
It puts down the same width of the original Slicci, but it is much more scratchy.

I love the idea of the customizable multi and these great colors, but these refills are terrible compared with the original Slicci.
