Uniball Vision Elite Updates

A capped pen, this one works well after being held vertically in a shirt pocket. I can take it out of my pocket, uncap it, and start writing without a couple of funky looking words. Maybe now I can keep my shirts clean.

Pilot Precise Grip Extra Fine Updates

I've been using this pen for the past couple of days, seeing how much I liked using a capped pen, and I'm running into ink feed problems. If I keep it in my shirt pocket, the pen is held point up, and the ink seems to drain away, towards the bottom of the pen. When I take the cap off, the ink flow is pretty poor for the first couple of words that I write, until the ink returns. I'm finding this pretty annoying.

On the other hand, with a capped pen, I'm not likely to ruin more shirts by putting an extended pen point into my pocket, where the ink can wick,and ruin another shirt.
