how many pens did u go through in your trailz??

personally i went through 2 whole pen, it's not the cheap ones too, it's the pilot, needle point ones with liquid ink and clear windows to see the ink move around :)

i usually go through one of these pens in 7-8weeks but in a matter of 11days i finished 2!!

all those pages of essays and maths equations

1x Brand new Pilot 0.7 fine (blue)

I cannot write with medium pens :rolleyes:
I bought the pen the day before (sunday), used it for the first time in English Paper 1, finished it just on the last exam (2 weeks later).

i usually kill 1 artline feltip per exam
not by using up the ink but by smashing too hard and messing the pointy thing

I use those kilometricos. They're really handy. I bring all ten of them to the exam, half red and half blue.

They're nice and smooth and really comfortable to use.

I actually bought a pack of three pens. The first one ran out near the end of studying for the trials, the second one ran out during my maths exam (4th exam) and the last one ran out about 15 minutes before the end of my final exam (IPT).. I ended up having to use a pencil to finish it off.

Isn't it strange.. I reckon I buy at least 50 pens a year, and only 45 of them actually run out.. where the buggary are the rest??? :confused:

I use the same, but i prefer medium ones cause they flow easier on the paper that my school uses for exams, for me fine seems to scratch the paper....and mine nearly finished..but I dont like to use finishing pens so I swapped without finishing pen 1 :p

Medium pens have the wider tip (1.0?)
They also make impressions on the paper (Yes, I know writing is supposed to make impressions) but I'm talking about the "bumpiness" on the other side of the page.

That's what happens when I use medium pens. They just ruin my handwriting altogether because of the width of the tip.

I'm just a fine kind of guy (no pun intended).
The tip is much finer,
The pen feels more smoother (when I write, not on paper), and I can control it a lot better, which increases legibility.

(I like my handwriting, it's cursive)
:D

i think i like medium, cause it improves my writing....it looks more legible on the 10th page of my english essay compared to when I use a fine pen....as well as it causes me to write big...so i look like i wrote a lot:D

i used like 3/4 of a pen IN the actual exams, studying is another thing, i probably used 1 or a bit more pens there

i use papermate pens, the good ones, they're so easy 2 write with

I use those Kilometrico ones too but they sometimes have these inky blobs on the end. Very messy.
