I'm still using my first Clover pen of this type, and while it might seem that it's dried out, it may just need to be stored (with it's cap on), and the tip pointing down for awhile.
I replace the cap between lines if I'm fiddling around with figuring or calculating.
As long as it shows some white in the barrel, and the cap has been kept on, it should work, or at least mine does. I also store my new one in the original unopened packaging.
Also, you can buy a package of replacement refills vs having to buy the entire pen. If memory serves me right, the two refills (one package) were equivalent price to one pen.
