Pilot Hi-Tec-C Gel Ink Pen - 0.5 mm - Basic Colors - Blue

Nice color. Downside for me is that sometimes the pen lets too much ink out. also, the tip is not like a sharp needle point tip. it's a wider and almost jagged feeling point that lets the ink out. this makes it feel horrible on paper. the color is great and it's great for taking quick notes but i personally would not be able to sit through an entire class taking notes with it. besides, the experience i've had is that it tends to get dry like 20 minutes into taking notes. not good.

Would I buy other .5mm Hi Tec C's again? Probably not but that's just me. Everyone else seems to love 'em.

I have tried tons of gel pens. In terms of the best blue gel ink color, I think Pilot wins. I love the 0.5mm version because the ink flow is generous and is less likely to dry up or clog. I find with the thinner hi-tec-c points, the pen tends to dry out or clog very easily. I can hardly finish a pen without it dying in the middle.

With the 0.5mm, I don't have that problem.

If you like the color of this ink, I also suggest you to try the Pilot G-3 in blue 0.38mm. That's an extremely good pen (I feel it's even better than the hi-tec-c at a cheaper cost too). It might be 0.38mm, but it actually writes equivalent or maybe slightly thicker than a 0.5mm hi-tec-c.

Get this for the case, it owns the other normal hi-tec-c without the rubber grip. Change the ink inside if you want it to become like 0.4 or 0.3.

These are actually the best pens I have ever used. No doubt. A few months ago, I bought a 12 set of the Pilot Frixxion pens, and I thought those were amazing, because they erased, but after time, if you don't use the actual box they give you, dirt and other sediment sticks to the rubber, leaving a messy eraser mark when you erase. Then, I saw that one of my friends had a hi-tec-c pen. but it was .3 and I wrote with it, and wasn't too pleased. I felt that the tip was too thin. At first I hesitated when I clicked add to cart for this set, but I trusted the brand, the reviews, and JetPens. Two days later, during the snow storm in my area, the pens come. I immediately try them, and I fell in love. I strongly recommend these pens. Although they do not erase, they write like a pencil, except instead lead coming out, you have great solid colors

This is the best pen I have ever used! They have a nice thin tip that I love because I write small, and they don't break off when I press down on them! I bought all colors to use when I'm taking notes, and three years later I still love them(although now I need to buy new ones). They also write super smooth!!
