Pilot Juice gel ink pen review
23 June 2014
The Pilot Juice is a gel ink pen that is available in three different tip sizes (0.38, 0.5 and 0.7mm) and a large range of colours. (Thirty-six colours in the 0.5mm size, fewer in the other sizes.)
The grip is comfortable and slightly squishy. The barrel is clear plastic and a good sensible size.
The ink is waterproof and fade-resistant. It writes in a very consistent and sharp line. It’s a good quality writer just as you would expect from Pilot.
The clip is excellent. It’s sprung and will clip onto pretty much anything, within reason. It also has a couple of holes in it so you can hang it from something or hang those little charm thingies from it. Although if you are, like me, a gentleman in his 40s, you perhaps shouldn’t.
The Pilot Juice has the writing quality of a Hi-Tec-C but a much better barrel. The 0.5mm tip is my preferred size but with such a range of tip sizes and colours there’s a Pilot Juice for everyone. Each time I place an order at Cult Pens I treat myself to another colour. The Pilot Juice is my new favourite gel ink pen.
