Pilot Juice Up Gel Pen vs Zebra Pen SARASA Clip

I just don’t love this box of them. I don’t know if I got a bad batch or what, because the original one I bought at a Japanese bookstore is just the best (disposable) pen ever. These five are all dry and write unevenly. They also don’t like to write when held at an angle, and they aren’t as dark as my other Juice Up pen

These pens are what I was hoping, great colors, great grip and the ink flows so smoothly. I like that the yellow color is visible so that I can write easily with it. The package also was in great conditions
