I ordered this pen without realizing in was a gel pen. I was looking for a red pen with medium black ink. It ran out of ink not long after I first used it. I had ordered a two pack of medium black refills for my Parker Jotter from you a few months ago. I had one left. It ran out ink long before I expected it to. I have used nothing but Parker Jotter pens for the past 60 years and have not had that experience before. In fact, I lost most of them before they ran out of ink.
