Pentel Recycology LR7-DX 0.7 mm EnerGel Green Ink Refill, 12 Count (Pack of 1)

The ink for these pens is great - very smooth and works perfectly in both my energel-x pens and my energel sterling pen. there is a small cap on each of the refills to prevent them from drying out, and each refill is well constructed - I have had absolutely no issues with any of them so far and have gone through about 20+ of these pens/refills.However, the packaging of these refills is a little wasteful - each individual refill is packaged in what seems to be non-recyclable plastic, and the refills themselves will definitely be difficult to recycle. The box is, however, recyclable.The ink itself does not last the longest time - I find myself running out after about 50-ish a4 pages of writing. It is also not the fastest drying ink when compared to ballpoints, and so left handed people may have problems, but for a gel pen it is very decent.Overall great quality refills, just wish they could last a little longer, and be packaged in paper or something recyclable if they have to be individually packaged at all

These refills are fine - the Pentel gel pens are nice to use and don't have the scratchy nibs that some suffer from. So no complaints with that. But a couple fo things bother me on the sustainability front:1. They don't last long and being a plastic/metal construction, no hint about how to recycle them when empty.2. They're wildly over-packaged. They come in a long strip, each one with its own individual wrapper. This isn't a premium item, chaps, it's a refill for a cheap pen. When buying 12 or more, supplying them in a cardboard box would be much more sustainable.It's a small thing perhaps but enough to make me switch back to using a journal with better quality paper (yes you, Moleskine, are the culprit here) and go back to a refillable fountain pen.

*UPDATE*After emailing seller (in Sept), not expecting response, just to say how disappointed I was, they offered refund or to send full order. I opted for order and it came. I'm satisfied and was pleasantly surprised by their helpfulness and prompt action. (I did have to pay a customs charge but that's not their fault)P.S. You can often now get 12 BL77 pens for similar price to 12 of the more expensive colour refills (i.e. not black or blue which are usually cheaper anyway). Depends if you want to recycle...!Previous review:Very disappointed and angry, with myself too. I've been using these refills for about 6 or 7 years and annually reorder BUT I'll be VERY wary in future. I didn't look at the reviews because I know the product.I ordered (for the first time) more than one. I thought I'd be getting 24 refills for the price. Received this morning: TWO Individual refills (NOT BOXES OF REFILLS).CAUGHT, TRICKED, AND P*SSED OFF.I ALWAYS read the info VERY carefully and the picture was definitely of a BOX.I now have 2 very expensive refills.

I've loved these refills for a few years. I chose them to minimise plastic waste. But when the world is cutting back on plastic, Pentel seem to be doing the opposite. Cardboard box - gone, it's now a plastic bag. Small individual plastic wrappers - now doubled in size. And each nib now has a little plastic sheath (so an extra 12 bits of plastic!) that is totally unneeded. Unless the packaging gets better, I won't be buying these again. Come on Pentel - get your environmental act together!

I think the problem here is that the booking you can see on Amazon is not for one product but they've tried to put a bunch of products in one place. It's very hard to differentiate between them and keep track of how many individual refills you're getting. In addition when I looked at the number of products it said 1, but what it meant was 1 box. Some colours seem to have only one refill, others more, although the price doesn't always seem to reflect that. All very confusing. In any case. I went for the 12 black refills, and I'm delighted to say that's exactly what I got. These pens are my absolute favourites and I'm so glad I can finally get refills.

Complete rip off, description says pack of 12, you only get 1. Not using them again as clearly description is misleading

This Pentel pen is a long standing favourite and has replaced my use of a fountain pen. This box of genuine and original refills comes at a remarkable price. The only problem is that the pen is starting to come apart around the top of the clip and I will need to replace it !

I bought this pack of liquid gel refills for my Pentel EnerGel pen(s) so that I wouldn't have to buy too many pens (like those cheaply-made ballpoint pens which are sold everywhere). And, much to my pleasure, these refills are incredibly easy to unpack and fit within seconds. All you need are a pair of scissors to cut open the plastic wrapping. Then, you just have to unscrew your Pentel EnerGel pen, take out the empty cartridge, insert the refill and then screw the pen back on. And each refill can last for days or weeks, depending on how often you use it.
