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?)

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.

Personally, I like the TWSBI eco for its large ink capacity and comfort. It has a good weight to it and there are beautiful colors! :)

I recently started my collection with a Pilot Metropolitan, and I'm looking to expand it, however I'd like a good beginner pen that would be good for schoolwork so that I can use it often. Any ideas?

What's a good fountain pen for note-taking for a college student?

 It uses cartridges, but doesn’t come with a converter. The TWSBI Eco is a great pen that may be more than you are thinking of spending ($30) but is a really nice pen that could be a buy it once and done. It is only bottle fill, and that adds about $10 for ink, but the pen is great and hold a lot of ink. Depending on your use this can be a factor

I am pretty new to fountain pens. I bought some disposables and a Pilot Metropolitan at staples a few years back, but never finished a cartridge in any of them. All were very scratchy and the nibs were constantly gumming up with paper fiber. Then over a lockdown I tried to fix some old pens I’d inherited decades ago, and while they were too far gone for me, I saw how nicely a good pen could write

So I’ll preface this by plainly stating the reason I want a fountain pen. I absolutely love the way they look as well as the idea of more deliberate writing.

My first question is: My handwriting is pretty horrendous. I write super fast, but can write well if I slow down and think about it. My cursive is quite good though. Will this kind of pen be unusable for me? Can I write with it similarly to a normal pen? How big is the learning curve?

Secondly, what are some SUPER cheap fountain pens I can get just to try out. I saw a couple disposable ones that looked attractive, but some advice would be appreciated.

Lastly, what are your reasons for using a fountain pen?

<p>Edit: Thanks for the help! Bought a pilot varsity, and after discovering the appeal of the pens, I have just ordered a Lamy safari. I still dont see myself ever spending more than 30 on a pen, but maybe I&#39;ll be sucked deeper into this hobby later on.</p>
</div>

Newcomer wanting to get into fountain pens, had a couple small questions

 Now writing with this pen is where I have my problems. I compared it to the Lamy Safari and Metropolitan Pilot which are both cheaper than the TWSBI ECO and both write several orders of magnitude smoother than the TWSBI ECO. This pen is incredibly scratchy and this was directly comparing to the other 2 pens with 2 different inks. Carbon Ink Black and Waterman Serenity Blue

Better value out there.

I really like Lamy Safari and Al-Star because they force me to correct my grip. But for longer periods, I like my TWSBI Eco! I rotate the three because my grip is slightly different with each, and that seems to help with hand fatigue.

For the students &amp; teachers out there. What are you preferred pens for long form note taking &amp; study writing sessions. Getting hand fatigue after writing a page with my current pens. Wish to avoid going back to gel pens.

UPDATE March 2019: After over a year of using this pen, I'm my review from 4 to 5 stars. Ink flow is very smooth, and even the slight feedback this extra-fine nib had while writing/sketching is pretty much smoothed out as well. This plastic body is built like a tank; threw it around in all my bags along with keys and phones and everything and there's not a single scratch on it. The massive ink reservoir is also really, really handy for travel and on the go, as I hardly ever have to refill, and the clear body makes it incredibly easy to see when the ink is getting low

The massive ink reservoir is also really, really handy for travel and on the go, as I hardly ever have to refill, and the clear body makes it incredibly easy to see when the ink is getting low. Here's hoping it lasts for years to come!  The only other fountain pen I purchased before this was a Pilot Metropolitan Fine Nib, and this was a very nice upgrade! I've heard that fountain pens with piston mechanisms are difficult to clean, but this one definitely wasn't. Just take a cup of water, dip the empty pen in, and twist the piston up and down a few times

Solid build, smooth piston mechanism.

I really really enjoy writing with this pen. I got a Pilot Metropolitan last year so when I initially picked this one up, I was a little put off by how light it felt in comparison. but after a few weeks of using it I'm super happy with the weight difference - this one really glides across the page (in a Clairefontaine notebook) and it's really nice to be able to switch between a lighter pen and a weightier one. it is also of course very cool & useful to see how much ink is left in the pen

great lightweight pen

This pen (TWSBI ECO) is fantastic! Easy to fill, easy to clean, nice plastic case with included tool, liquid silicone sealer and pictured instructions on pen care. Overall thrilled with this purchase and would purchase another in a minute. Highly recommended.

A Fantastic Pen!

I have bought a total of 5 of these pens in my life, and I’ll buy them until they stop making them. They are extremely convenient - they never dry out, never leak, and although I’ve broken two of them due to my own carelessness, I consider these pens to be some of the most durable low cost pens on this site. I hope they never stop making them because I will never stop buying them.

Best pen I’ve ever owned
