Q: What colors are in the 30 pack versus the 22 pack? I see there are some new colors in the 22 pack per the Q&A section on that product. Thanks!

  • A: The "new" colors were the ones that came out in 2019. This pack includes those & additional colors that have come out since. However there is a "brights" set that includes a white that isn't included in this set that just came out.

    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.

    Some colors have already stopped working and I’ve only had them for a day. Also some of the colors are way darker than the outside of the pen. It really lessens the color selection as a light green pen actually writes in dark green and then you get a dark green pen that writes in really dark green. Same issue with the browns and yellows/oranges.

    Inconsistent quality- no longer glides

    I’m very disappointed because these were my go to pens. I recently bought this pack and the ink runs out. I have to use excessive force on my wrist to make sure it writes but even then I have to go over a couple times because the ink will come out. I been using these pens for years and I noticed the quality of the ink decreased and it no longer glides as smoothly as it did. It’s saddening because these were my favorite but this is the second time this issue happens and I thought the last pens I purchased were from a bad batch. For that reason I suggest another gel pen for use especially if I’m paying almost $30 and it can’t even keep up with getting through writing a scripture come on paper mate. Get it together.

    Not sure if I got a bad set or what. The pens I received ran out of ink very fast. Some didn’t work at all. Colors were very vibrant and pretty while it lasted.

    These pens are great and I won't use anything else! All the bad reviews are probably from people who don't realize you need to remove the plastic ball off the tip of the pen before first use. Too bad they won't see my review and realize their mistake.

    I think these give G2 pens a run for their money. The colors are unique, the ink is vibrant and smooth, and it’s great writing with them until the very end. My students sometimes comment on how nice the pens are when they borrow them. Just really good gel pens for daily use.

    I used to love these pens but more often than not they quit writing after being used for a few minutes. I always store them standing upright and it doesn’t make a difference. Such a waste of money when I can’t use them for their intended purpose.

    I bought the big pack of these pens about a year ago and they have been incredibly disappointing. Every single pen I've used has dried out almost immediately after using, and not because I leave them out. They just stop writing after a few words.
