Sometimes I find new refills a bit scratchy for the first couple hundred words or so and then starts to write more smoothly. I think of it as comparable to breaking in a new fountain pen; it's a little scratchy until the nib is ground to my writing style. A G2 has never done that to me before.

I mailed the evidence to Pilot and they sent an apology (and some refills) with a promise to work on it. I haven't had the problem since so maybe they did actually solve the problem.

One minute fine, the next, a small metal piece from the end, and death to this G2. DRM This happened to me too. One minute fine, the next, a small metal piece from the end, and death to this G2.

That sharp spring pierced the back of my hand and I had a lovely little bit of ink stuck beneath my skin for a week or so as it healed. -sv I’ve had that happen as well but I had it happen right before I was going to write something on my hand.

I find the G2s reliable if a bit boring. Stilllike using my Namiki every day. Have you ever checked out the Sakura Gel pens? I love them.

It's a pain, isn't it? G-2, especially the mini's, are great for Moleskines, but like you said they're unpredictable. I have had that happen to me as well. It’s a pain, isn’t it?
