Favorite disposable Pens?

**an0nymous** · 06-07-2010, 10:22 AM

I've got two:
Sakura Pigma Micron

and the excellent Uniball 207 needlepoint which I discovered in a review

^Black not blue. Cannot stand blue pens.
What are yours?

Uniball 207 as well.. Except not the needle point. I think I use .7mm or something but they're great. I prefer mine is purple. I'm unsure why but purple writes better than blue, black and everything else...

Sanford Uniball Rollerball Fine point pens.

They're basic black, which is not a bad thing, but I love they way the ink flows. They're excellent for signatures. I always keep a blue one in my checkbook.

@Pro
You should totally try the needlepoint. It's not scratchy at all.. I was a big fan of the 207 rollerball, but this is better. It's a pain to find though, I had to truck over to officemax.
If only it were available in a tip finer than a .7...
Looks like all the same colors are supported, so purple is an option:

@buster
uni-ball® Roller Pens, Micro Point? oh yeah, I used to buy those guys by the truckload. Still my dad's favorite pen (in green ink?! no accounting for taste).
For some reason I always end up absentmindedly chewing on the cap when I use them for any extended period of time, to my dad's great annoyance.

Since that took me down memory lane I have to confess I was once a huge Dr. Grip fan, (but have long since decided the points are too big and the ink was smeary)

Pilot VBall Extra Fine in blue.

I bought out our local Staples warehouse when I moved here to Alabama because there was a rumor they were being discountinued. Only one box left of that original (I write a lot of Post-Its) order, but it looks they're still available, so I guess I'm safe.

I had heard they were going to discontinue, but all of a sudden they caught on fire with some huge sales in Alabama.
Wait a minnit...

I really like the Pilot G-2 in fine. They are refillable though.

**Rudy Vey** · 06-07-2010, 06:40 PM

I do not like disposable pens, they are a waste

. There are so many nice pens in this world that can be used for decades using a new refill when the old one is empty

Pilot G-2.

While not necessarily disposable I really like Koh-I-Noor drafting set.

**jswhitley** · 06-07-2010, 09:10 PM

uniball vision, in blue, and only blue

**MikeyAces** · 06-07-2010, 11:21 PM

I like the Pigma Micron, and the Pilot G-2. I'm very prone to loosing pens, so I go with disposables exclusively.

**Uncle Erik** · 06-08-2010, 12:11 AM

I hate disposable pens. What a waste. The closest I'll get is occasionally using one of the Hero copies of the Parker 51. They're not in the same league as a genuine 51, but are so damed cheap that it doesn't matter if you lose or break one. I'd recommend picking up a few - they're just a few dollars each. If you take a liking to them, try a real 51. If not, you'll be out very little money.

I'm a huge fan of the rite in the rain tactical click pen, they can be refilled and cost around 10. They are kind of like the fisher space pens (they have the same "guts")

Oh deary i am in need of some sleep for I came upon the thread title and my mind saw something completely different

**SRock** · 06-08-2010, 03:09 AM

My favorite disposable is the Pilot G2:

**mark the shoeshine boy** · 06-08-2010, 03:55 AM

I like the modified G-2 with the Mont Blanc refill....the best $200 pen for only $9 bucks....

**pz93c** · 06-08-2010, 08:02 AM

The free ones from the pawn shop.

Do they have chains attached to them?

I'm surprised there are so many votes for the Pilot G2. I have one in "07" and it writes smoothly but the ink smears easily. I have to be careful to wait for my signature to dry and, when I am writing full sentences, I have to be careful not to brush my hand across it. I would love a pen with the smoothness of the G2 with fast drying unsmearable ink? Any suggestions?
