Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I have ordered 4 of these pens. They either never worked, worked for about 6 hour or several days. This last one the company agreed to replace (they have a 1 yr warranty( but suggested I was very hard on the pen. The filiments clogged and when I thought it was unclogged it went through the upper soft plastic piece. The one they sent me for return works the besl so far; Then the cost- even a small project takes 1/2 a package, if you change colorsI be prepared to wait FOREVER for the pen to change then find that you'll loose about 1/5 of each stick as it clears out one color and starts the new color. If they brought the price down to about half of what it is I would say that would be a fair price. But a lot of projects fail - so there is a huge amount of waste. In the multi-color packs I nearly always run out of the color I need so you're be less frustrated buying a whole pack of a single color. It's just frustrating, starting a project and being unsure if you'll have enough of one color to finish the project. Plus the pen is highly unreliable, takes FOREVER (like 15 minutes sometimes) to heat up. You nearly always need to use the hottest setting regardless of the type of plastic or you'll be waiting forever for the PLA setting to work. I enjoy doodling a lot but after all my colors are gone I'm afraid I'll have to quit unless they cut their price on the refills significantly or give you double what is in the package so you aren't constantly running out of one color. The cplor of pieces of filaments are terrible - it's kisst plastic when you purchaes a set of different colors it runs about $5 per package but when you purchase single colors by themselves they are $7-12, My "rubby ducky in mostly yellow took three packages of the 7.99 strands (that is75 strands) and I was still looking for more sticks. I will quickly give up an purchase the cheaper brand that uses coil plastic (it does void the warrahty) but over half will be wasted - they aren't colors I'd ever uses; I've spent over $200 on filamints so far.
