The Visconti ink doesn't seem to have much of an odor, if any. Ok, only slightly odd. The Visconti ink doesn’t seem to have much of an odor, if any.

Is it a strong scent, medium, etc? Currently I have a Hi-Tec-C gel, and while it writes nicely, it's quite smelly, which I don't like at all.

How did they stop working? I've had my Tornado for years (until I lost it earlier this year...just bought a new one) and it works fine. Are you having problems with the ink? I changed out the ink cartridge which I think is crap and put in a Visconti Gel Ink cartridge, which works amazingly well, especially in my Moleskine notebooks. I agree though, that seems pretty crappy for a warranty. Hey Jack, thanks for the comment. How did they stop working?

One within a few months and the other almost immediately, and my wife and I don't do very much writing. I went to Retro's web site to check warantee information, and guess what? We have to pay to ship these back plus include a check or money order for $10.00 shipping and handling each pen to have the warantee honored. Don't waste your money.
