Uniball Jetstream Black.

That is THE SMOOTHEST pen I have ever used. I have a huge stash of about 10 of them because although they write so smoothly, they unfortunately run out so quickly.

Actually, this could be because of its delicious smoothness, I feel inclined to do more rough working out, or try more problems, so it APPEARS to be running out faster, when in fact I just enjoy doing work a lot more because it's just so beautifully delightful to use.

You can get them from Officeworks for about $16 for a pack of 4, but if you want bulk (you won't regret it), try eBay.

You can wire Officeworks $100, and acquire the 25 directly =)

But I don't have a debit card :(

Plus you will pay postage with the extra $50

I use kilometric gel blue and red and sometimes the pilot 0.7 blue one. I dislike the inkjoy ones because they always run out so quickly for me! cute name though

Yeah, I run through them pretty quickly so I've taken to keeping about 4-5 in my pencil case and just cycling through them. They're just so reliable though - I've only ever had one stop working before it ran out of ink, whereas with every other type of pen they'd stop working while half full for some reason.

EDIT: The only other bad thing about them is that they're terrible for drawing long lines. After about 5cm I found they start to rapidly fade.

Well I just think it's annoying to always have to cycle through pens. I'd rather them last a bit longer than always having to have a few in my pencil case. But they are pretty smooth when you write with them so I guess they aren't too bad...
