Whiteout pens and whiteout style pens take some practice to get used to, but they have a unique character. They're small, convenient to carry and can handle a variety of surfaces. By the time you make it through one, you should have easily gotten the hang of it.
I still think the presto is the king of this category. It's got the nicest feeling body to me. It's the softest. I still really like the AP press n go, but they're not quite as nice in the hand. Those are a bit stiffer if you're into that.
For refilling, you need to pop the top straight out, it doesn't unscrew. I find a 1" wide, very thin metal object such as a ruler helps to pry it off. You can use pliers and yank it, but you'll damage it. Up to you if you don't mind scratches. Refilling the AP press n go is definitely more convenient.
Try mixing some magic ink or pilot ink into it if you are tired of it being white.
It'll work with a variety of refill paints, but you want to use something on the thicker side unless you want insane dripping. OTR soultip paint is fairly drippy, whereas rusto bucket paint is pretty thick so it writes more cleanly. Refills for metal head markers also work really well.
If you've never tried one, $3.50 is a small price to check out this classic item.
