the pentel energel alloy is one of the best pens to own, feels substantial in the hand, the grip section makes sure your fingers never slip and it's a long balanced pen, i always use a pentel needlepoint 0.5 mm or 0.7 mm, the 0.7 mm is the smoothest rollerball refill with the darkest ink
the pilot g2 limited has that thick, comfortable grip and it takes pentel refills, another substantial, high quality pen, never feel bad for spending $10 on it, i've seen a lot of sellers sell it for more than double the price on ebay and amazon, so the $10 is a good price for a great pen
the zebra sarasa grand is one of my favorite pens of all time, i never noticed the huge clip before until i saw another youtube reviewer who criticized it but my thumb never touches it when i click it, i have almost every single version of the zebra sarasa grand, the one with the gold grip, the one with the white barrel and the green, gold or purple grip, the vintage series, the pastel series and the regular series, i just need the orange one that i can't find anywhere to complete my collection, these of course take the pentel refills
thank you for the video
I prefer .38 or .4 will use .5 if it's my last choice. I tend to buy on Jetpens because I can readily cross-reference refills and barrels. Haha I save the refills I replace for zombie apocalypse use. I love the weight of the Sarasa Grands and yes, I got all the barrel colors I could find. My favorite ink refill is the Sarasa Marks On as it works wonderfully with the mildliners.
Any zombie apocalypse reference means we are already friends 😊 I’m going to check that refill out, I’m always open to try new ones. I tried .38 in the energel and found it scratchy but maybe I need to try the .4 hmmm... Jet pens also does a great reference I should have mentioned that, they are probably what got me started down the rabbit hole.
I love ALL the pens! I really love the G2 Limited, but I prefer .5 refills. Mixing and matching barrels and inks to find that perfect pen combination is so much fun. Thank you for sharing!
When I was editing this video I was thinking “Am I ridiculous” clearly I might be but I’m not alone :) Thank you for that. I also am solidly .05 on refills.
That is what I prefer as well. G2 Limited pens with Pentel Energel 0.5 refills. End of story :)
I favorite pen is the zebra f701 with a blue fisher space pen refill
I like the look and feel of the PaperMate InkJoy pens in 0.7mm. The gel is great. I have used the BiC Gelocity ink. Those pens are ugly, but great ink in the Ink Joys. Firmer spring too.
I love the saraza pens. Especially with the clip blocking cause I keep it in my pocket and I don’t have to worry about accidentally “out”. It changed my life. Love all these pens tho.
Just so you know the energel Pentel pens have a flaw in their clicker they can get stuck easily but you can fix them where they click every single time just by adding a little white lithium grease to the clicker inside you just got to fight to take it apart just thought I'd throw out my two cents
This is good to know. In case I find my illusive Pluto barrel and it happens again.
energel is my favorite! i love my blue G2 limited with a blue .7 energel in it, doesn’t get any better. the “energel style” is a beautiful twist action pen you should check out!
YES! I'm all about pentel refills in other barrels - My only problem is that I've swapped so many that when I grab a "different" pen it's always a surprise to what ink is actually in it... it's kind of fun LOL.
I put the purple energel refill in a purple anodised OHTO Dude rollerball body -a nice match. It's a hexagonal bodied pen which looks great but I'm not keen on the grip section.
Hex bodies are a love - hate with me so I get that. The roller ball body will hold the energel refill? I'm so intrigued because that is a sharp looking pen.
@@LifeintheMitten Here it is... the Dude with an EnerGel refill... ruclips.net/video/oTH-QLRROsc/видео.html
Omg... that metro pen I need to check out. It look like a pen I got at a conference. The pen weight is devine. I never let anyone touch it.
Thoroughly enjoyed this video. Thank you. Think I'll have to subscribe now ... :)
Thank you - I think I need to do any update too it soon. I've got new options 😉
Love my Pentel ener gel .5. Also really liking the Zebra G 301 gel
Oh I’m going to have check that one out... for you know research purposes, of course 😎
You can put Energel refills in the Sharpie pen too!
Oh I think I filmed this before those were released... and I've been eyeing their "fancier" barrels. I might have to buy one now LOL
OMGosh you are a sista from another mother. I have that Sarasa on my on my wish list but now I am not sure I can handle the clip. ;o) Pentel .05 needle tip - prefer blue/black and purple.
We really are LOL. As much as love purple and LOVE energel purple. I don’t like it as my main color in my planner, which feels so odd to me LOL. I’m considering switching to blue/black as my “normal” color
There are actually two different Sarasa Grande barrels. I do not like the shinny finish of the one that you have, but there is a ‘retro’ (I think that’s what it’s called) that has a brushed finish and I much prefer that barrel to the first. I have so many pens right now though that I’m in the process of using all my technical pens before they dry out.
Oh Theresa, Tell me do they have the pocket clip like that? I like that barrel and would probably love the matte but that clip sticking up over the clicker drives me crazy
@@LifeintheMitten They have a shorter clip. They are called the Sarasa Grande Vintage Collection (or maybe colors)
Pilots and Pentels are the main pens i use…
Life in mitten do you still have that Pilot metropolitan gel pen?
Because I’ve recently bought a couple of them due to Being Inspired by you,
and I’ve found out that in order to use either Pentel Energel or Uniball Signo refills in the Pilot metropolitan gel pen,
you actually have to take a spring out of another gel pen and put it onto the refill that you want to use in the Pilot metropolitan gel pen.
OMG! I had to go find it because I wasn't using it for this reason. It just wasn't 'right' I'm going to try this and see if I like it better.
@@LifeintheMittenDid you find your old Pilot metropolitan gel pen and do you like it better now with the guidance I gave you?
I wonder on the Metro if you could change the fountain tip for the gel tip. Where you unscrew it.... if you want the purple barrel with gel instead. I suspect it might 🤔
I don’t think you can... I looked at the purple and decided that I just really wanted the turquoise. I still find myself using the Clena which is funny and kind of annoying.
Point 0 5 is 0.05..
Point 0 7 is 0.07.
I think you mean "point 5" or "point 7".😊
try the uni jetstream alpha gel grip hehe
Oh man... Here I got down another rabbit hole.
Can i fit pental energel 0.7 in pilot g2?(that normal transparent plastic g2 barrel..)
I'm looking to see if I have one of the normal barrel around here. So until I find it and can update my answer is... it should. The refills are the same size (or very very close) I have found the one things that sometimes feels a little different is the tip - because I like the needle tip and some pens are designed for the regular tip.
@@LifeintheMitten thanks :)
@@ajmo58Yes you can use Pentel Energel refills in the regular Pilot G2 pens and I highly recommend you do that.
You should try the pentel philography. It's a twist mechanism, not capped so less hassle. I have the sarasa grand vintage barrel, the one with gold trims instead of silver, I got the green one and it looks really good with gold. Same issue with the clip, it gets in the way every time I click the pen. Also, the top part is too heavy so it's not comfortable for long writing sessions.
Where did you get the Blue Pilot G2 Pro?
I’m not sure, I’ve had it for years.
A while ago I bought a couple of inexpensive pens that accommodated the Pentel Energel refill, a refill that I love writing with. I honestly do not fancy the Pentel pens. So after one of my original pens broke, I went on the hunt to find a suitable replacement barrel.
In my search I stumbled across your video. So I would like to direct you to a pen that I found, essentially the same pen that I had bought in the first place. It is usually given away as a promotional pen.
The pen is triangular in shape along its entire length. It has a detachable top that can be posted. The clip is silver in all the photos I have seen online. It also has a silver band around the pen where the top and bottom meet. There is also a silver circular 'button' on the top of the pen.
The single defining characteristic of the pen is its triangular shape. The balance is great, though the pen is fairly light in weight.
I bought mine at a Flea market from a guy who sells pens, but I got all the pens he had left. I have seen these pens online being marketed to businesses as a promotional product, but they are sold in quantities too large for an individual user. But just in case you see one, you should scoop it up and try it. I wish I knew how to post a photo of one here. Unfortunately, my tech skills end at the keyboard. If you google "triangular pens', you will more than likely eventually see the pen I am referring to.
I really like this pen and would recommend it to other Energel enthusiasts. Oh, I bought mine for $4.00 Canadian. Hope this is useful.

I want to buy a alloy pentel 0.7 rt but I only like the 0.3 will it fit?
Are you worried about changing out the refill? I've swapped them for .5 no problem.
Lamy tipo problem solve❤️👍
Can you buy me a pack of pens🙏
Sorry. I am a little late on this subject but you should really try Pentel Energel Hexreform. It is a very limited pen. It is a great body for energel refills. I just hope you find it. I have Energel Alloy and Libretto. I like both. Libretto a little more just because of the size. When used unposted. I like short pens.
I'm resisting... that doesn't mean it's not hanging out in a shopping cart waiting for me lol
I love pentel pens but unfortunately only 3 variants are available in india shopping carts 😔
Oh no! A least there are 3... gotta find the positive or at least try :)
@@LifeintheMitten 😔
I think u should calm down a little while doing the video, you look jumpy.
Ha! If you think I need to calm down on this one you should probably not watch any others of mine.
Agree. Awfully nice lady, but the constant tapping, clicking, waving, pointing into the camera, finger drumming, snapping and pen twirling had me needing a shot of something afterwards. Love her pens tho. Love the EnerGel needlepoint 0.5 the best. Black ink is black as the night. I didn’t know Sararasa had a fancy metal pen for their clip model. Peace out.
