pens

[JamLax]

Are they any good? I know it's preferance but I am leaning towards the blue ones. Does the "Easy Glide System" really work? Whats the lifespan on these?

[FredtheCat]

Those are sick, they increased my writing speed by 10 wpm.

[slinkyspine]

Those pens suck. Get a real pen. Like a Hi-Tech roller. Any pen that releases ink with very little pressure is the best. Unlike Fred up there. I am not lying. You will write faster with pens that release ink with little pressure. They usually have liquid ink.

Ex. Uniball Vision Elite.

[marflax33]

lol... pens... of all the things. i prefer pencils. mostly because they taste good. every once in a while ill come across a pencil that looks like a tree branch at a gas station, those ones are sick nasty awesome. same with the pen versions. i used to have some nice pen with a cushy grip and all that other stuff, and as usual with my cherished possesions, it was stolen. it broke my heart :bawling: actually it didnt really break my heart, but it adds some drama to the story. in other words all my stuff gets stolen, so i dont bother with fancy stuff.

[bloodilax977]

The improved grip rings cradle your fingers. That's high tech.

[PompLax14]

Get 10 dozen for 15 bucks and who cares if they're any good.

[laxpimp]

We desperatly need REAL things to talk about.

[enjoi]

I prefer Uniball Vision Elite and my Rotring fountain pen

[slinkyspine]

WHOO!!! Enjoi. You have good taste in pens.

[frkystyly36]

I don't know. I heard Bic is coming out with an Ultra Round Stic Grip PRO pretty soon. But I would wait for the second generation to come out before picking up a pack.

[JamLax]

i prefer pencils. mostly because they taste good.

yea i do for the most part. I like the aftertaste of American Naturals, mmmm. They also write well but thats on a side note. Never go for yellow pencils, common misnomer. Paint easily chips leaving a not so smooth taste. They are cheaply made with lead thats not from the Guatamalen Clay.

$15 pens? are you crazy? Imagine the feeling of loosing that pen at school. I average loosing a pen or pencil about once every 3 periods.

[AttackMan17]

Im def. waiting for the second gens before i shell out the dollar sixty nine. The first gens are notorious for cracking at the throat.

[elementsk8r070]

I go for pilot or uniball pens. Sometimes the deluxe 3 in 1 pen, pencil, palm pilot thing pen.

Thats for a dozen! 15 for a dozen

[LaxBoy92]

When I cradle those pens like a lacrosse stick, I pretend the grip is candy-cane tape. I'm such a loser, aren't I?

[BTlaxripper]

You guys are nuts, it's all about the Blue G2 0.07mm's (http://www.officedepot.com/ddSKU.do?level=SK&id=790801&x=0&Ntt=g2&y=0&uniqueSearchFlag=true&An=text).

So smooth, like a hot knife through melted butter, uh huh.

Amen, brother. I use those, but black.

[middieman1]

I'm ashamed in everybody who posted a link. Everybody knows Staples is better then Office Depot.

[Bulldoglaxer]

i hate those G2s they write too scratchy. Pharmecutical pens are the way to go, i had a Viagra pen for two years until, were on the bus to a game, i loan it to this kid so he can do his dumb crossword puzzle and i havent seen it since. sad story me and that pen had some good times

[AttackMan17]

As am i. I may lacrosse sticks out of paperclips and tape, and throw stuff at people in social studies.

Those are where pens are at. Except for my sweet homemade pen.

[faceitoff]

I bought some, and they "clog" easily.
I personally use the Papermate Flexgrip Ultra Retractable Ballpoint Pen. Nice feeling, y' know?

faceitoff, u know better, when your hand starts to sweat during a test, those pens provide no grip when wet. I hate those pens with a passion b/c i added 1 comma to my term paper in ink and the stupid pen bloches.

Oh and about that viagra pen, i had an estrogen tablet pen that i used over a month and a half period, money in the bank as far pens go. I recommend any pharmaceutical (sp) pens, good grippage.

Papermate flexgrip elite = dank


i dont like gel pens, they feel like fingernails on a chalkboard if that makes sense.

[kryptic]

Space Pens are the best...
http://www.spacepen.com/graphics/database/usa/AG7/ag7.jpg

Too bad they're $50, I found one once in a couch..

[ColtsLax]

i use to standard bic rollerball, i lose pens, so 3 dozen for about $20 is a great deal for me

[MainLax28]

I use a Papermate extend multi. Has red, black and pencil all in one. Only one I've ever seen. I also have a cross that I picked up for 5.00. That writes really nice.

If I were you, I would go to commerce bank and take their entire jar of pens they have there. One of my friends has about 200 of them, one for each day.

[YHSlax0506]

I use the Pilot Precise V5 or V7 pens, they right really easy and they never dry up. Oh and no I don't memorize my pen names, I just got one and wrote it down.

[K Baz]

Meh - I am waiting till Mikey Powell comes out with a pen/pencil line till I buy any writing instruments. Minus this keyboard - which I am painting a Mikey Powell decal on.

[slinkyspine]

AHha. About the space pen kryptic.


The NASA spent several million dollars desinging a pen that would write in 0 gravity. The russians? They used a pencil

[FredtheCat]

This thread was serious? I thought it was making fun of all the preference threads.

[BioPro29]

dang, i was about to post a joke just like that.

[JamLax]

This thread was serious? I thought it was making fun of all the preference threads.

haha originally, yes I was making fun of those type of threads, but apparently everyone has a preferance right down to the very utensil they use to write. This thread has a mind of its own now

...btw, I got the Ultra Round Stic and they are greatttttt. I'll right a review on them when I get more of a feel for the pen.

[Jesse]

My pencil case somehow manages to lose about a pen a day. So I just buy a pack of 20 cheap ones about once a term...

[NuKoN]

I use Bic Atlantis'...

[ghs/wylax]

jamlax, i have those exact ones.Pretty nice grip, smooth writing for the price. If you can shell out a lttle more for unibals they'll really affect your performace well

Can you put a tutorial up of writing cursive Z's? I can't get it right for some reason.

You're definetly using the 0.05mm's, way too thin and scratchy, they stink, I hear you.

I prefer I good click pencil any day, though.

[Mrmccoolsatool]

ya mech pencils are where its at, but somtimes i get some pencils that when you sharpen then and smell it is one of the greatest smells in the world. I promise you, go get a new pencil sharpen it and smell it...its glorious.

[JamLax]

For you people who don't use anything but Warrior, I got the pencil for you.

http://www.kingpen.net/item_images/02253.jpg
Mirado Black Warrior

For real, these are the best non-mechanical pencils I have ever used in my life (American Naturals a close second). These things sharpen so well. Last time I had one was in 5th grade. I was so jealous I didn't have the best pencil in the class, I stole 2 out of this kid's bag. They are expensive, so if you plan on buying them, show them your advance writing mechanics.

[goalie33fan]

Pencils are where its at.
The best is the Ppermate Clear point

[wolfie8914]

^those are highly skeet pencils. I do not recomend them.

[goalie33fan]

Are you joking? What is so skeet about these bomb pencils.

[LaxBoy92]

I normally just bring a few da Vinci's (http://www.joon.com/display_collection.php?id=5&brandid=1&qcolorid=22#2) every week.

THANK YOU. Someone needed to mention the Warriors. Best pencils in the history of the world. I used them religiously through middle school. But for some reason I can't find them around anymore. Dang. I loved those things. Now I stick with the mechanical pencils. And if I have to go pen, I use black G2s. Those are amazing.

OMG. I hate using pencils with PASSION! I always use pens. In fact, I ALWAYS have a pen on me like in my back pocket or on my ear. So yeah... My all time favorite is the UniBall Vision Elite. Byfar the best pen EVERRR.

[NY Lax 4]

I love pens, and hate pencils. I don't care what type of pen I use, but I like when its smooth and doesn't do all that skippy stuff.

[Irishlax22]

I love those Black papermate pens. Cheap ohh yes, Effective O yea.

[slinkyspine]

Uniball vision.


I love the flowing ink, not the ones that you have to push like a pencil.

[gigo567]

Uniball Vision Elite. And it looks like eastanlax got Temp Banned again.

Jetstream all the way!

[Live4It]

Gigo I didn't recognize you with your new avatar.
I use these pens right now http://www.biceveryday.com/products/pens/atlantis.aspx
I don't mind usind pencils though as long as they're good pencils, not the crappy kind.

[UVAlaxer432]

I dont know about you guys but i dont have a uni-ball i hvae two... :chuckle:

[MainLax28]

I use pencils. I used to use mechanical, but this year I went back to wood. My hand writing it too scratchy to be able to use pen and read it.

[Lacrosstitute]

I like pens, but I need to find a solid pen I can enjoy. As of now I either borrow them or rock a Clickster. Clicksters are the best mechanical pencils ever made.

[ATXLAX]

Bic cheap, write well, come in packs of 20.

[AttackMan17]

I use a cool pen I made in tech class in 7th grade.
Its was cool...Got to use a lathe.

[standenup]

pilot g2 gel is definately the way to go. the only problem is the ink runs out fast but they're the best writing pens ever

[WestSideLa X eR]

Got hooked on fountain pens by my dad. Using a cheap pelikan, but i've tried the $400-$500 montblanc's/omas pens at a fancy store/mall. Smooooooth.....

BLUE INK it smokes black. I write 37% neater with blue ink (trust me i did the math) plus its way more pleasing to look at

NO WAY DIXON TICONDEROGA hb 2 medium softness by far the highest quality pencil there is. I believe that dixon is the best preforming pencil on the market they come in different lead softness. I know when im using dixon ticonderoga i can write assured that the great eraser on the back end of that sweet baby will erase any mis mark i make. Trust me when i use a dixon it makes thigs like standeredized tests fun!!!

[kingdawgell]

i actually prefer a fine feather, preferably from a canadian goose. my feather is actually valued at over four thousand dollars

and the ink i use is the same ink used to write the declaration of independence
