BIC Gel-ocity Quick Dry, Ultra Fast Drying Gel Ink Pens with Full Grip Barrel, Assorted Colours, Pack of 13

I have tried like every gel pen on this planet and these are my favourite. More than the papermate gel inkjoys, the sharpie s gel, pilot g2, zebra sarasa, papermate flair, energel, uniball signo, pilot g tec c4, pilot hi tec c coleto and many more. This is my number 1 by far with the inkjoys now taking the second spot. Such good pens, I love how they write, the lack of smudging, the way they feel in the hand and I think they look really cool too which isnt a priority but still a plus. They are a bit on the expensive side but I think theyre still cheaper than the inkjoys so I dont mind, the quality is worth itEdit a year later : going strong, still love them. I accidentally left one clicked for around a month straight. I tried writing and it hadnt dried out at all. It still writes perfectly. Best gel pend

I really like these. These are lovely pens.

These are amazing , great value for money. They seem more expensive but are well worth it, the colours are beautiful and they write so smoothly

Great range of colours. No smudges when using. Will buy again

Duncurin has been running up these wonderful Gel-ocity quick dry gel pens from BiC. Of course the BiC company prowess with the sphere of the biro and writing implements generally knows no bounds.These are lovely tactile pens and they fit nicely and comfortably within the hand. I was fortunate to review some standard blue ones some months ago and this is a sample pack containing no fewer than 13 colours.Just as I found with the blue ones the gel ink goes down reliably and without hesitation nor blobbing, spluttering or untidiness that can obviously sometimes ruin hours of careful work. Colours are wonderful and I particularly liked the nuanced pastel shades which offer wonderful range and variety. Please note too that they go on reliably and are generally resistant to smudging. Please note if one is using high grade paper perhaps with a sheen or finished/glazed surface that is perhaps not as absorbent as ‘bog-standard’ paper then some smudging may occur as drying time is prolonged under such conditions. For the main aim of setting down one’s fact and figure on standard paper of no special quality then they work perfectly and exactly in the manner described.Colours are solid, even and reliable. They give an even colour rather than say a graded colour that one might wish to apply with art work. These pens are designed more for colour keyed drawing and also for lines of fact and figure where it is important not to get the colours or the legends confused. I tend to use them to keep my manual ledgers up to date – much preferring to sit with this on my knee rather than use a spreadhseet and I can then see at a glance how much my humble savings have lost and colour/highlight them accordingly! I also like them for diagrams to do with my various hobbies and I will attach a suitable one where these pens came into their own.The other point is that the ‘nib’ size is 0.7mm. This is perfect for most uses as it will apply solid lines of unequivocal colour quickly and easily. For those who need really fine work then a competing manufacturer offers similar ones with a nib size of 0.3 mm.Lastly, my two adult girls love the adult colouring books and for these we’d advise more pencil crayons so as to build more shaded nuanced colours rather than these gel markers. Other than my comments above, and for their intended use they are perfect. Many thanks.Photo shows colour-keyed diagram of latest hobby project.

I love these pens. I am now on my second set because I have used the others. They write beautifully and are easy to hold. Highly recommended. Oh and they make your writing look gorgeous!

I love writing with these pens!

SUPERB. Will definitely buy again.
