Pen Identification

[DezGalbie]

Is anyone out there, like me, quite particular about the make and model of pens which they use?

I need some help identifying a particular pen so that I can buy more. I found this pen so I don't know where it was bought or who made it. There is no obvious branding on the pen, just the words "roller tip pen" and "liquid ink".

Can anyone help?

Yep, that's a pen. No question about it!

 

That's mostly likely just a rebranded pen style, as you can find similar ones from different palces

Yeah, there will be lots of similar ones out there available from lots of places but, ironically, not through the link you provided. Lol. Apparently those are out of stock. And they're described as glitter ink. I don't think my fragile masculinity could handle glitter ink. Probably not suitable for professional use either.

But does anyone know where I can find more of the same kind I have in my pictures though (not just similar)?

A pen is a pen to me.

@DezGalbie I used to be able to buy those at my local pound shop

Judging by the collector grip, you probably want something like the Uni-Ball Vision Elite. Rollerballs write so much better than ballpoints mostly because of the ink they use; ballpoints use thicker oil-based inks, while rollerballs (and gel pens) typically use thinner water-based inks, the same sort of ink fountain pens use.

 

I, too, am quite particular about my writing instruments.

Was it like a chain pound shop which might have a branch local to me?

A tragedy for Ashens fans everywhere.

Looks like cheap China rebranded crap.

 

 

The good part about that is you can probably find the same pen but with slightly different branding at almost any store.

I'm sure it is cheap and from China. But obviously I don't think it's crap or I wouldn't bother with the effort of trying to find more.

The problem is, with different branding/design, how do I know that any similar pen is the same inside? There will be other pens with different branding which are the same internally most likely, yeah, but there will also be just as many pens which are similar externally and different internally.

That's why I ask about this * exact * pen. Not just similar.

Without a lead on the exact pen my only option is to buy a shitload of similar pens and test them all, which is pretty expensive, time-consuming, wasteful, and not even guaranteed to be successful.

I was hoping I could find a stock of cheap pens which are actually surprisingly pretty nice to write with but I guess I'll have to give up on that dream and just pay through the nose for good branded pens. By the time I buy a load of random cheap similar pens and test them it will have been easier and cheaper to just buy the more expensive pens in the first place.
