Disposable pens are disposable, what do you expect?
Since I write with vintage fountain pens almost exclusively I’m not really in any position to comment cogently, but what I do know is that if you want a pleasant, reliable writer, you’ll have to pay money for it. Pens come in every price range, but a twelve dollar pen will write better than a two dollar pen.
Once upon a time, a good pen was built to last the lifetime of a person and you only had one, and took care of it. People bequeathed such pens to their heirs. We think about objects differently now, but it isn’t necessarily an improvement.
