I've been enjoying the set of four liner markers, but I went to write with the 0.1 and broke the nib off. No problems with writing with the other 3 liners.
I usually write with fine tip sharpies and other markers like this instead of rollerballs because I'm left handed and want ink that dries immediately.
I really don't think that I'm using too much pressure because I don't have this problem with other markers.
Nobody writes with the pen straight up and down, which is what I'd have to do to "baby" them.
I don't write with my hand all curled up on top of my paper like a lot of left handed people do.
Is this a big problem with these markers? I googled but didn't find a lot of answers.

Hi. No idea on an answer, but try the forums or chat or reviews at jetpens.com. You may find something there.

Nope, it's rare! And I stipple a lot when I sketch for work. I've used those for writing and drawing for at least twenty years. At least it seems that way, labeling might have changed.
I gave my left handed son his first set like yours about five years ago. He does the claw/ball when writing but not when drawing. He's never mentioned a problem- we keep buying them for him. I'll ask him and report back if he's had an issue.
Have fun!

That's not a usual thing. I'm left handed also and same as you, don't curl my hand around either, but I've never had an issue with the pens breaking. I think it might have been a dud.

I was thinking it was a dud since I used all 4 one after the other and only one broke.
I'll try returning the pack. These pens are too expensive to just toss one away.
