I have had this pen for around 3 moths and I use it most of the time for writing notes about anything that I consider worth remembering. Today, I picked the pen and started using it; however, the pen is almost out of ink. Another two or three paragraphs of writing and it will go directly to the trash can. I have another replacement for it, which will do the same task until it´s time to discard it. How long does it take for one of your ball point pens to run out of ink?

I have never really paid attention. I usually lose the pen before it runs out of ink.

A pen usually lasts from three to four months, depending on how often I make use of it. Sometimes, they just disappear from my sight, due that I do not take care of where I place them

@infatuatedbby I buy packages of five bic pens. They are durable and affordable to me
