Love the variety
Really love the variety of colors. I use these for journaling and the colors add a nice pop. The things that would make them better for me? .5mm option (I just prefer a thinner line for writing) and ink refills to save plastic from the landfill.

Smooth glide ✍️
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I would give the pens a solid 3.5 rating. While I appreciated how easy they were to write with and the smooth glide, I wished some of the colors were more pigmented. Overall, they’re still really good pens!

Not worth the $$
Used twice and they die. One pen after another, they just stop working.

Colors are nice but drying out quickly
Got these because I love to use pens for sketching, and I must admit that the colors are super pretty! But I have hardly used them and already have two pens that are dried out and not writing anymore, which is pretty sad.

Great, colorful pens
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Paper, mate, ink, joy, gel, pens, and the tropical vacation colors add fun and personality to your writing, journaling, notes, or projects. The colors are amazingly bright and very cheerful. The pins are very smooth and the ink dries quickly, which keeps it from smudging. These are a medium point pen so they don’t give off fine lines.

Dry too quickly
Absolutely love the color variation! These have always been my go-to set for my planners, however, their upgrade of 3x faster drying is a disadvantage. The ink stops after a short, very short, period of use. I've tried tapping, shaking, just about everything to get the ink rolling again but the only thing that works is scribbling until I get ink and then ink stops again. Very frustrating. I gave up on them. Target didn't take them back with their new return policy so they ended in the trash.

Good at first, horrible over time
I liked these pens at first, the range of colors, doesn't smear or smudge, quick drying, the ink flows well... At first. Half of them just stopped working like some of these other reviews mentioned. The ink just stopped. I heard good reviews of these pens and was pleased at first but would not recommend with how faulty they've been over time.

Purple and blue are great, yellow isn’t.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The yellow wasn’t a good choice in pen color, but the others are bright and vivid. Great gel pens, once you got to writing with them a bit. I almost thought the purple one died, But it I just needed to scribble to get the ink flowing more.

Colorful and smooth writing
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I loved the colors of these pens. The ink flowed well. I love Inkjoy Gel ink, so I knew it would be a smooth experience. I did not like the texture or grip feeling of the pen, though. But for a value pack, it’s a fun collection.

Good pens
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I liked the pens when writing I felt like I had a good grip on them and they were really comfortable to write with for a long period of time. I did encounter an issue they would like sometimes like get stuck and stop writing. But overall they are great.

Wry pretty, but slightly difficult
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the fun colors! The dark blue one wrote smoothly and glided on the page. The other colors really struggled. They seemed to need a lot of rewriting to read. Some of them I’d scribble somewhere then rewrite the word up to 6 times before it was legible. I have a bigger set of these pens that had similar issues. If it has happened in two separate sets, it must be a more common issue. I love these as a teacher for the bright colors though!

Picky Pens
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] At first, when I used these pens, I was not happy with the flow of ink. It would constantly skip. So I tried it using the pens on a stack of papers instead of just one sheet, and the flow of the ink was perfect. These are great pens but picky.

Smooth
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The packaging was very slim. The comfort of holding this pen was immaculate. Ink flow let's go there. The flow was really really good and the value of these pens are amazing . I love ink joy pens. I believe they are the best pens out there.

Love this collection.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Stationary aficionado here and pens are one of my favorites items to collect. The ink flow is smooth and the tips don't skip. Very comfortable to hold and scribble with. The colors are vibrant and the ink dries instantly, so no smearing at all. Would love to see more colors added to the Tropical Collection especially a Flamingo Pink.
