r/pens

Just got my Platinum Preppy today and loaded it up with my first Pelikan ink. The nib is stubbier than my Lamy Safari and requires me to write at a somewhat different angle, which threw me off slightly at first. It's something I will adjust to, though, since there is no "standard" nib (which is why we all love fountain pens in the first place). The medium nib is a bit broader stroke than my Safari (plus the Pelikan ink is SO WET) but that is also not a deal-breaker as I prefer a broader stroke

 Again, though, not going for pretty or sexy. I just want a decent writer that won't break the bank if it has to be replaced.  The price of the converter was more than the pen, but because it allows me to use whatever ink I want I have no complaints about that. My total cost for pen and converter was less than $15

  The sections fit together very well/tightly and the lid fits tightly has a little cup that helps seal the nib when closed. I'm hoping that it will be relatively easy to clean since things come apart nicely, though I suspect that this might not be the case from my initial experience priming and filling it. I'm not thrilled with the clear barrel, but I'm also not going for looks with this pen--I just want something I can keep in my backpack or purse that will write nicely and allow me to leave my more expensive pen on my desk at work. I do find the screen-printed information and barcode to be annoying since there is no way to remove it

Nice carry-with, daily-use pen

I've been on the search for a sleeker looking fountain pen from my reliable Preppy, preferably made of metal rather than plastic, but I'd like it for daily use as well as journal writing, and at a price point that doesn't have me too concerned if I misplaced it in class or at the library. I love the design of the Safari (sans the grip), but that incident has kept me away from getting too comfortable with it outside. I've been looking into the Twsbi ECO as an upgrade, and might get the Zebra V-301 but I've read it's not amazing.

 Due to an incident in class where the ink exploded over my hand, I've been wary to bring it with me back to the lecture hall. I've read also that Noodler's Black writes dry (in my limited experience, this is the case) paired with the Lamy Safari. I use the Safari mostly for penning long writings in my notebook, but since I do it infrequently, I find myself needing to change out the ink in the Safari since it's dried out since last use. Platinum's slip and seal mechanism is a useful tool since it keeps away ink evaporation

Otherwise, go back to ballpoint, but know that you really didn’t engage with fountain pen in the way that’s intended.

So I bought a cheap fountain pen Monami Olika extra fine for 3$ from my local convinient store. I was really excited about it cause I heard it's good. I know it's a cheap pen compared to other big brands like Pilot or Lamy. But I want to talk about the pen itself in general. 

First the way to hold the pen itself isn't really comfortable. I know that dynamic tripod is the best way to use it but for people like me who use triple quadrapod it isn't really comfy at all as you kinda push the pen too hard ( you can look it up) and I hate that you need to be at certain angle or sweet spot compared to normal ballpoint pen.

Second is the tip of the pen is really weak. I pushed my pen too hard and the small pointy point snapped leaving me with harsh point I feel like writing on a sand paper. I'm glad that I only bought beginner pen couldn't imagine myself broke 20$ pen.

Overall I think it's a great hobby for certain people but I couldn't even go through another fountain pen. I was thinking to use it to take note but I guess it wasn't really suitable. At first I thought I might invest more on the ink , syringe and better pen but I think it's the end for me. I really fond of the idea using the syringe to refill the catridge though.

TL;DR : FP isn't the most comfortable pen and tip isn't really strong. I'm not going to join the journey like other folks here even though I like the idea.

Bad experience with fountain pen

 I ordered a Lamy AL Star and what arrived was a Safari. At the outset, a true pen merchant is best - Dromgoole's, Goulet, Goldspot, Vanness, etc..

 The Safari, AL Star, and LX all have a triangular section grip; the Aion is circular. The TWISBI is triangular, too. The Platinum Plaisir is a nice one - very light in weight, but looks elegant. Satisfying snap when it's capped

My husband told me earlier this year he’d like to try fountain pens but he never did. His bday is coming up so I wanted to get him a starter fountain pen. He’d mostly use it to take notes at work on regular notebook paper. I’m looking to spend about $100. I know nothing about fountain pens so I’m hoping you all have suggestions of good quality ones that work well on regular paper. :)

Help for getting a fountain pen gift.

 Cheap. So, why just three stars--especially when I'm a fan of cheap fountain pens? Because this pen is so utilitarian in appearance and handling, it removes all romance from the writing experience. If Jinhao and Gullor and a bunch of Indian (even Pakistani) pen companies weren't putting out gorgeous pens for the same price, this would be a five-star pen. But you can get luscious pens that feel like fine tools and write, honestly, like Meisterstucks, for the same price

Soulless, but efficient...

 Personally I find the low weight makes me prone to twist it in my fingers a bit, which is bad when it comes to a precise fountain pen with a small sweet-spot.

 Some people prefer light writing instruments, some don't. Uncapped this is about the weight of a high-end ballpoint like the V5 Precise or Signo.

 I don't get this problem with the pilot metropolitan fine even with dry inks.  3) Weight. Some people prefer light writing instruments, some don't. Uncapped this is about the weight of a high-end ballpoint like the V5 Precise or Signo

Good value.

A quick no brainer guide in choosing nib sizes in an overly complicated fountain pen world: If you write small, go with an EF For the normal writer, F is the most popular If you tend to lean on a bigger font, M will be perfect B is for statements!! Sign a check in B, write a header in B, do some coloring/shading in B Stub nibs are italic in writing style (have a special card or invitation to write?)

r/BuyItForLife

Relatively cheap, but for me it's the TWSBI GO. I have a great nib, it's easy to fill and clean, durable and comfortable to write with.

Hello, long time lurker, first time poster.

This is my response to a query post about "Show Off Posts" which I didn't take as a negative one.

I've been, ah, accumulating fountain pens for a few years now and have been a fan of fountain pen inks even longer. (Blame Nick Stewart).

I have graduated to buying pens over $100 though those are mostly from current individual creators or vintage oddities. But.

Bless the inexpensive pen. Most Asian, like PenBBS, Moonman and, pictured above, Jinhao.

I just did my usual end of the year purchase of ink samples and bottles of ink I've been eyeing which also coincides with me inking pens I haven't in a while. Usually in this category is my Jinhao 51a.

I love this pen. I bought it for $5 off of esypens on Etsy and have never got more bang for the buck. It is one of the most reliable workhorses I have ever used. It will take any ink and perform exceptionally. In the example I've shared, it's Ferris Wheel's April showers. And let me just say, it's been living in this pen for over a week before the above writing example and is doing just fine.

And I really do want to know, especially with all the Inkvent posts, what are other folks favorite "cheap" pens?

Favorite "Cheap" Pen

While it looks like I'm in the minority here, my recommendation is TWSBI. TWSBI TWSBI TWSBI. I was actually thinking about this this week because a few pens I had been using had run dry around the same time, and I thought "Maybe I have some TWSBI's in my tray with some ink left." I grabbed a couple that I hadn't touched for at least three months that had visible ink in the reservoir and gave them a whirl and they wrote perfectly

I hate this kind of post - the open-ended question without a definitive answer, but I need help so - here goes: I've been using fountain pens for 20 years. I have a Rotring 600, a couple of Parker Vacuumatics, a Paker Sonnet, and a Sailor (I don't know the model). I really like writing with them, but it is frankly frustrating most of the time - especially getting them to start. Because of this, I usually use a gel rollerball in lieu of a fountain pen. I am looking for the Apple of pens - one that just works every time - one that I can pick up and use - one that starts when I start - one that's not prone to skipping - one that doesn't require tinkering to work. I'm not limited by budget. I clean them between inks. I prefer to use cartridges for convenience (but, frankly, if a bottled ink (piston, converter, etc) pen is the only way to get reliable performance, then I'll switch). I usually use a medium nib.
