How does it compare to the uniball vision pens? which is smoother?

I believe this is smoother. I only used the vision pens in the store at the displays... but I like these better.

I have never used the Uniball vision pen. I have been very pleased with the very comfortable grip and style of the roller-grip over many years.

Egor - This is a thinner pen in my collection and it retracts w/a twist to the left. The point is not really fine w/gel but the writing is quite smooth and the "bang for the buck" factor is very good vs. Cross, Mt. Blanc, etc.

Imho its better than the G2. The ink flows as well as a gel pen but its a little bit thicker and doesnt smear like I find the gel pens do. I recomend this pen to everyone that asks.

So far, so good. Do let what you write dry a bit before you touch, fold, close the book! No globs yet. I've used pilot dark blue pens and they can be globby at the end of their life and also smeary with the 1.0. I think the .07 and .05 are better.

The ink dries almost immediately, as fast as any other pen I've used. As for the smear, again, about the same as any other pen of similar quality. To me, the writing looks, feels, and responds the same as any other pen-- it's just erasable.

Sorry, I can't help. I bought my pen with just the one nib; it's on the finer side rather than the broader, but not really fine.

I can't compare these to the Pilot/Uni but these are my All Time favorite pens. They are smooth and they do not bleed thru my calendars. I've been using them for a few years now and I don't feel the need to try other brands. I highly recommend them �

It's a fine nib, but it's similar to an extra fine in other pens. It's about as fine or finer than a Lamy EF, but it writes very smoothly and I love the thinness of the line!

the extra long are thicker than 5.2" they feel about the same thickness as a uniball pen. I like the length and heft of them much more than the 5.2".

Not sure what exactly you mean by 'bright'. They each write the same color color as the finger grip. The only one that doesn't write very dark is the light green, but that goes along with the grip color. These are .5 so the line is thinner. If you are looking for a broader stroke, pick the .7 version. I've purchased all types from .38 to the ones like a sharpie fine point. Also have two color sets of highlighters. These are the best erasing pens I've ever had. I'll upload a writing sample photo. In addition to the color and stroke, you will be able to see how well they erase. All samples said 'testing' before I erased the 'ing'.

It feels a little different yes, but I think it has a very good paper feel as well. However if it gets smudgy then your pen just slides without the texture feel, but that happened with the stock screen as well. So not too much loss there. However having the peace of mind that you won't scratch the screen is a HUGE plus for me.

I would recommend you give these a shot, just so you get the hang of using fountain pens again. When I first started to use FPs, I used a very heavy hand-a habit from the ballpoint and rollerball days. Thankfully, I was only using disposable pens so I didn't end up ruining the nibs. Although I've moved on to more expensive pens, I still keep these around. They're good value for money and are good writers as well.

I have two of these and the first one I got was amazing, smooth, and felt great to write with. I use it for my daily journal. The second one I got was oddly clumpy at first but got better after a bit of use.

I bought the CTH480 and although it took a while to get used to the small after having one equivalent to the size of the 680, I prefer the Small. It feels much lighter than my old one and doesn't take up much room. I also don't have to hold this one on my lap as I did the medium. This one I can put off to the side and still draw fine. HOWEVER. This is going to be your drawing tool for the next 2-3 years and you need to pick what is best for you. If you feel you will need more room to let yourself experiment then get the larger one. Also if this is your FIRST tablet, I would suggest the 680. I find it easier to go down than it is to go up.

I have the CTH-670. I purchased these nibs and those from tier site, not much price difference. They seem a bit harder than the ones that came with my tablet and not seem to have that perfect fit as the others.. but I have no problem using them.

I purchased the Staedtler Pigment Liner and am happy with these pens. They are not scratchy and "ink" well and have a variety of tips; also, archival and waterproof and fade proof. I bought at the time they had a sale, buy 4 and get 2 free in the package, so there were 6 different sizes. I have not tried the Triplus Fineliner 334 or the Fineliner 306S, so cannot compare. Hope this helps.
