Awesome pens. They write really well :)

Ink does not go smoothly

It's a bit scratchy but I don't really mind it that much. It's such a great dupe for the Zebra Sarasa 0.5 gel pen. The feel is very similar. The drying time is a bit slow since the ink runs when you highlight it after a minute or two but this is expected for most gel pens. If I'm having trouble getting the ink to flow, I either draw a lot of circles on a piece of scratch paper or I put it in warm water for a bit until I see the ink flow out of the pen. I haven't resorted to the other one just yet and have only done the circles on paper so that's pretty good.
