Do the Pentel EnerGel pens leak in flight? To-date, I prefer Uni-Ball Vision Elite ... does not leak in flight. Thx.

In the four times they've been on the plane with me, they haven't leaked at all.

They're gel pens so they do run out quicker than an ink pen but I was able to do quite a bit of art work with them. I didn't have any problem with leaking, though, and the colors stayed bright and had a nice flow. I'll probably buy another set when these run out because I really liked them.

Been sketching with Flair tips since 1971. Then they had a small white point guard at the writing tip, but the tip still got wider after usage and pressure. The ones I use today don't have that point guard and seem to be harder and keep a point longer but still get wider and softer after usage and pressure. My first time hearing "Hardhead" associated with Flair pens. Sounds like a selling tag. Just my opinion. Black is the only color I've ever used, about one a month.

very little bleeding, actually. they write very well on thin paper, even newsprint. but that mostly depends on the ink and quality of the paper... more factors than just the pen. messy? if you write *really* slowly, i could see it getting a little wet and sloppy, but... i don't think you'll have a problem.

I have three and they have not ever leaked in our back packs or beach bags. But if you flight check in inside your luggage, pressure will force it to leak.

I don't know.. I trashed mine after the action got fouled up.. I stick with zebra pens

A site called jetpens has 0.5 mm tip jetstream pens. I haven't tried them. However, 0.7 mm for this type of pen is generally fine enough for most uses. In my opinion, 0.7 mm jetstream results in a line as fine or finer than a 0.5 mm Pilot G2 gel pen.

I us my pen allot daily and the Jetstream has pretty good life. It definitely last longer than the gel pens for comparison.

I fly with 2 of them every week and have not had a problem. But the contents in them is more thick than thin. If I leave them in my checked suitcase I put it in a plastic bag. Overall, no leaks yet!!

I do calligraphy, and unfortunately, the pilot pens is not waterproof. I have googled and seen clips on YouTube about ways to substitute different inks. I really like the pilot pen because the ink is always ready to flow!! I wish that the nib was angled for optimal Calligraphy effect, though...if they market a pen like that and with waterproof ink, this will be my go-to calligraphy pen! It would be awesome.

REAL good question!! I am in love with this pen but worry if there is a replacement tip so I have looked and am sorry to report thru my search if it wears out we are S.O.L. If you find one PLEASE let me know

These are my girls favorite pens that they have had for several years & they haven't had any issues of pens drying out. Those are the only pens they want to use. Sorry you experienced that.

I do not know how the ink compares to Pilot's ink, I do like the ink. I did like the pen that came with it however after a few months of use the rubber o ring started deteriorating causing the ink to leak, I do not use that pen any longer. The ink is good it is very bold and black ink, it does have some feathering but that could be attributed with the fact I write with a lot of pressure.

This glue pen is so good for fine lines, I have always got two in my desk. I would say be careful when their is not much glue left in the pen, because it has a habit of coming out in a blob of glue instead of your fine line. Each time you use the pen, just wipe it first and test on a piece of paper first before you start using it. Hope this was helpful!!

I've purchased both the colored pens and the black pens and have had only one pen leak on me. I have followed other reviewer's instructions on "being gentle" and not pressing too hard or shaking them and the pens have lasted me for almost 6 months using them pretty regularly.

Yeah they worked great for me. I didn't get any duds. They write in black ink. You can see the tube of black ink in the middle of the pen that's like any other ball point pen.
