TWSBI Diamond Mini

The only downside is that this ink dries INCREDIBLY slow, but if you have a dry nib like I seem to have on my TWSBI Diamond Mini, you *need* a wetter ink like Noodler’s. 🥲. If you zoom in on the photos, you can see the notes I took on both the nib, and the ink. ALSO — I’m currently in the market for new inks to test for my illustration work.

Oh, you're not gonna talk about how good their customer service is because they charge you $7 to replace a part for a $30+ pen that shouldn't have cracked in the first place?. Meanwhile, I've dropped my pilot metro 8ft onto a concrete floor and it still works. Not impressed by TWSBI at all, though I've adopted a TWSBI mini purely as a project pen. So far I've swapped nibs and feeds and I'm still not happy with it.

My piston filled Twsbi Mini IS my favorite pen. Honestly I don’t care that much for a super-large ink capacity because I use pens mostly for shorter sessions (journals, sketches).) my husband has the full size Vac and it’s a great writer, just too big and heavy for me. These Minis are just right IMO.

It holds a lot more ink than the small cartridge pen. If you are on the fence, pick up a Twsbi. If you are attracted to a pocket pen the Twsbi Diamond Mini is a little more $$ but is a really nice pen.
