Sadly, I lost this pen before it came to an end. I had a bad night where I was in a tizzy about my new job, head spinning, my cell phone got lost or stolen, and along with it went this pen.
The VBall is a true historical staple, and this was the first time I’d returned to it in awhile. I got this one in Japan, so unlike the picture above, it had a cute light green part of the top that complemented the kelly green body. The VBall was the first roller ball that I remember using that had consistently smooth ink (its claims are true), and for that innovation should go into the Hall of Fame. My only issue with them is that they are short enough to feel stubby.
I also found tonight a “Pen Selction Guide” on the Pilot Web site. It is minimally clever, but I’m glad someone is taking the time and effort to give $3 pen selection its just due.
