Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I'm glad that it seems most other people are pleased with these pens, but I am not happy. I think the package I received must be really old, because many of them are dried out to the point that writing with them is not smooth at all, it's actually quite difficult to get them to write consistently. I bought these to replace the Papermate Ink Joy Gel pens that I have been using and loving. I was hoping like some other reviewers I would like the G2 even better, but I think I may end up switching back. I also plan to contact Amazon directly to let them know I may have gotten a bad batch.
