The answer is, sadly, that some pens (and possibly certain filling systems) are more clog-prone, especially if they have fine tips (or finer). Unfortunately, unless you're using a medium or broad nib, this is likely to be an issue; it also depends on the amount of shimmer in the ink. Pilot VPs (Capless, Decimo) are particularly prone to drying out anyway because the click mechanism means that the nib is exposed to air in a way that a "regular" capped pen isn't, but this means they're also more prone to clogging with shimmer inks. :] Dip pens are fine as long as you remember to wash/wipe them off after use, which I have definitely failed at.
