    These pens are so amazing! They write so neatly and perfectly! The color options are great and it is a thin pen so u don't need to worry about too much of a thick marker when you write.

    These pens are garbage. While the colors are vivid, the ink in the pens jam frequently, even though there is plenty of ink left in the pen. I have had this with almost every pen in this pack. Never had that with G2 pens. I will never purchase this brand again.

    Horrible product - 10 months ago
    Definitely not worth the price. Some of them are really smooth, others not so much. Some of them wouldn’t even write through a whole word (like light green) I kept going over a few colors when I realized I probably shouldn’t for the sake of this review. The colors seem good enough but probably would’ve been better with a ball tip.

    Almost all of the pens are unreliable. Sometimes they work and sometimes they don’t. Some of the colors were also very light/dim/dull compared to expectations. Overall they don’t fulfill the need for coloring pens, and I’m looking to buy different ones

    Teff - 2 years ago, Verified purchaser
    really enjoy the different colors and it doesn't smear when I write as a left-hander. It seems that some pens are not made equally. Some pens glide really smooth and have a good amount of ink coming out, others skip and it feels like the ink is stuck and there's barely coming out.

    olivia n - 2 years ago
    I came on here to read reviews to see if anyone else had a similar experience with these pens or if I just got a bad batch. Turns out everyone agrees the quality just sucks. I've had these pens for ages and they are mostly all still full of ink (which, yes, you can SEE because the barrel has a transparent window!!) and yet every. single. time. without fail, when I pick one up and start writing, the tip stops putting out ink within a few words. It's absolutely infuriating to be able to see the ink, to shake the pen and take it apart and do anything you can think of, and yet it refuses to write. It's so sad. The few words I was able to get out were absolute bliss, the color was vibrant and beautiful and then out of nowhere I was blindsided, the beauty was over. A pen is supposed to do ONE thing, which is write, so if it can't do that, it's essentially worthless and a scam. I guess they look pretty when I lay them out in rainbow order but c'mon man, they're pens.

    Nicole - 2 years ago, Verified purchaser
    I used to love these pens, I’m not sure what is wrong with them now. Some of them refused to write consistently and evenly straight out of the box. The rest lasted a few weeks before they started fading, even though you can still clearly see there is ink in the barrel, which is transparent. Also, some of them write much finer than the tip is supposed to write. The colors are great, but these are so inconsistent and the quality has gotten poor.
