Refill Ink for EnerGel Liquid Gel Pen, 0.5mm, Needle Tip, Red Ink, Box of 12 (LRN5-B-12)

These are OEM refills from Pentel. Japanese quality. Perfect fit and function.

These are perfect refills. Work like the original that came with the pen. Handy to have on hand, just change out and ready to write without shopping.

The refill was initially purchased for an old pen that was without a refill. Appearance-wise, it looked identical to the empty ink tube. Unfortunately, it was 1mm too wide for the barrel. On the bright-side, I discovered that it was a perfect fit for my empty Zebra Sarasa pen. It has written smoothly on a variety of papers and I haven't had any issues with bleed thru. As an added bonus, it doesn't skip while I write. Well worth the purchase.

I use these refills in multiple colors. I have the pink metal pen, well I have multiple of them that I have had for numerous years. I simply purchase the refills and I put a little sticker on the outside to indicate what color is inside. I use these for my business doodling and writing on my desk. As I said, I have used them for years! They are the only pens I have ever used that do not leak or smudge. The .5 mm tip is thin enough that I get a nice smooth line when I write. I now work from home, but when I worked in an office, any time anyone borrowed my pen they oohed and awed over how amazing it was and asked to have them ordered for them! I was always an amazing salesperson for these pens. I should have made a commission off of them! lol

I'm a longtime dedicated fan of fountain pens. The way they lay down ink almost effortlessly. These EnerGel pens are the closest thing I've found to a fountain pen and can live in a pants or shirt pocket without fear of leaks -- or worse, losing a precious Pelikan or Pilot. My daily driver is a Pilot retractable Fermo with an EF gold nib. Small, smooth, precise. These .5mm refills are perfect for me and glide smoothly over the paper without dragging or leaving blobs of ink. I bought one of these in black and also their refillable/retractable along with some purple refills. Excellent all around.

Bought the purple 0.5mm needle-tip refills. Took longer than I thought, but it did ship with USPS instead of Amazon. Box came all crushed, but the refills were okay. Probably not the sellers' fault, although they could've packaged it more safely in cardboard, instead of just a plastic bag. Over a dollar each is insane, but I get the markup due to free shipping. Didn't realize that the refills would be internally sealed with wax stoppers to prevent them from drying out. Many Energel refills that I've sourced seemed to have skipped this typically crucial step in the manufacturing process, so it's nice that I got some that passed quality control. They write super smooth, feeling more like a wider nub like 0.7 instead of 0.5, which is typically still pretty scratchy.

The ink refills were received on time. The price was worth it. Carefully packed, no damage, ink tip covered by plastic tip ball preventing the ink from spills or runs.

These refills actually fit the OHTO CR02 pen perfectly. I am glad because the OHTO refills are expensive and available only in black, blue, or red.
