Pilot Bottle-2-Pen (B2P) Retractable Premium Gel Roller Pens Made from Recycled Bottles (3 Count) Fine Point, Black G2 Gel Ink, Refillable, Comfortable Grip (31607)

They use to share these at my job but for some reason they discontinue them. But I thought they were great pens so I had to hunt them down LOL I buy them by the cases they are great.

I really enjoy this pen. The ink is not spotty and it writes the first time. No scribbling on a page for the ink to work like many other low cost pens. This pen is inexpensive enough I use it all the time without worrying it might get lost or stolen. The quality is high enough that I enjoy using it, the grip is comfortable, and it works properly. I am ordering several more for my kids to use at school. The fact that it uses post consumer recycled plastic is a great plus, and it has the "cool" effect for having a similar feel to it as a plastic bottle.

Little bigger or wider in diameter than the Pilot G2, but still great to write with. Would only be a problem if you have small hands or if you put an immense amount of pressure when you write, as I do and it does strains hand after an hour of use. If you get the 0.5mm refills you can put them in here as they are interchangeable. I do love the bottle design on these though, so all in all great pens.

Easy to hold. Thicker barrel. Same great Pilot G2 ink.

I love the feel of these pens! I have been purchasing them for years. They always write smoothly and I feel like they just look cool! My students are always begging me to let them use them. The pens seemed perfectly fresh and none of them were dried up at all, they looked like they had full ink! These can be quite expensive and I was happy to find a great price on Amazon!

Once the novelty of the pen looking exactly like a bottle of water, right down to the label wrapping around its middle, wears off, the only thing left is how well the pen actually functions.Depending on the pen's intended purpose--writing general notes and memos, quick sketching, inking final art projects, addressing mail, or lettering invitations, etc.--satisfaction can vary widely. So, I'll look at this pen from various angles: comfort, ink quality, longevity, and nib sizing.When writing and taking notes, I prefer pens with grips close to the nib (or no grip at all) and that's the first thing I noticed about this pen. I'm able to hold it very close to the nib, which makes me do a happy flip.The pen itself is made of hard plastic and has roughly the girth of a standard fine Sharpie marker. However, the pen is very lightweight. People who prefer heavier writing pens will certainly want to avoid this, but people who write often will appreciate it because the hand becomes less fatigued while writing.The ink is exceptionally smooth (the blue ink more so than black), gliding over the paper and laying down even strokes of vivid color. I'm thoroughly impressed by the black ink's darkness. I personally wish the shade of blue was a bit lighter, but that's a personal quibble and didn't take away from the pen's overall rating. I did notice that after writing for a while (a few pages), the black ink began to skip and I needed to scribble a bit to get it flowing smoothly again. But IMO it didn't happen often or long enough to become a problem.Writing on generic white paper yielded no bleeding, however, the ink was clearly visible from the other side, so although you can write on both sides of the paper, single-sided writing is optimal. Used on high quality vellum and other ultra-smooth writing papers (think Rhodia or Clairefontaine), I found that the ink was easily smeared within a few seconds of writing. This might be a nonstarter for left-handed writers.As with most gel ink pens, the supply of ink runs out faster than the typical oil-based ballpoint pen. However, Pilot put an ample supply of ink in their barrels and you can expect to get ~30-40 8.5"x11" pages (writing top to bottom) before needing a refill. For most individuals it's plenty, and for students and others in writing intensive professions, it's quite reasonable.My only complaint is with the nib sizing/labeling. It wasn't very long ago that this pen would have been classified as a medium ballpoint (and in my mind, it still is based on the line it produces). So for those who prefer fine nibs, do not be fooled by the "Fine" in the description. This pen is 0.7mm; it's best to get this pen for the comfort, but grab the 0.5mm or 0.38mm refills.Since times are changing, it's best to rely on the actual nib sizing rather than the textual equivalent offered. I've uploaded a writing sample to illustrate how the different nib sizes vary.Yesteryear's nib sizing based on my experience:Micro or Ultra Fine: 0.18mm-0.3mmFine: 0.4mm-0.6mmMedium: 0.7mm-0.9mmFat or Wide: 1.0mm+To finish up, the Pilot B2P is a multi-purpose pen best suited for writing notes and the occasional memo. Artists and sketchers should proceed with caution because although it's acid-free, it's not water fast and can muddy the colors if using watercolors or water pencils. Artists and others looking for precision (for inking drawings or invitations or addressing letters) should look elsewhere.*This pen is not recommended for signing checks or other legal documents because it is not water fast. Pilot, however, does sell G2 refills with pigmented ink specifically for this purpose.

These pens are high quality AND made from recycled water bottles. I’ll be ordering these when I need pens. Still using the same three I ordered in June, so impressed with their overall life. Roller ball style is nice for bold, solid writing that looks pretty.

I bought several of these in Germany before they came to the states. I was impressed by how well they hold up and the smoothness of the roller ball and ink. I think this is a great product made of recycled plastic bottles. The pen also has a similar plastic bottle look. It's just an all around cool pen. I have only used the black pens, but I imagine that the other colors they offer work just as good.
