TombowZoom 505 Liquid Ink Roller Ball Pen Refill - 0.5 mm - Black

So, picture this: I stumble upon my long-lost Tombow pen, buried in the depths of my desk drawer after nearly a decade. Cue the dramatic music. I thought I'd never find a replacement cartridge for it—probably because I assumed it was as outdated as a flip phone. But hey, the wonders of Google led me to this refill.Initially, I wasn't entirely convinced it was the right fit. I mean, who knows what technological advancements pen cartridges have made in the last decade, right? After a bit more digging, it turns out they're both rocking the classic 0.5mm sizing. Phew, crisis averted.Now, let's talk turkey. Or rather, ten bucks for a refill. I know, I know—it seems a tad extravagant for something as mundane as a pen cartridge. But hey, in the spirit of nostalgia (and a sprinkle of curiosity), I took the plunge. And boy, am I glad I did.The Zoom 505 Liquid Ink Roller Ball Pen Refill is a revelation. Seriously, the ink flows smoother than a jazz pianist riffing on a Friday night. It puts my usual pack of budget pens to shame, and they cost about the same. Who knew upgrading my pen game could bring such joy?So, maybe now I'll tackle those bills with a bit more gusto. After all, if a good pen can make the mundane more bearable, I'm all for it. Who said adulting couldn't have a hint of excitement? 😄

I got a tombow pen as a gift 25 years ago. uesed it a lot and then it sat in a drawer for two decades. when i found it and tried to use it a few months ago, the ink had turned to a solid. tombow is very non-standard and i thought i had lost the pen. but then i found this. fits perfect and the ink is still liquid!

Now my favorite pen writes again!

Fits my Object CD tombow pen that I have had for about 25 years

The refill comes in a sealed package and its from Japan. I use Tom Bow pen for drawing and need the ink to be responsive and dependably consistent with line quality. I find TomBow refill delivers that. My only regret is that they don't make a smaller point.

Ink was great when I first used it and now about month later, the ink is all dried up, not smooth and cannot be used. Very disappointed since I love this pen.

The pen began to leak.

Writes nicely.
