Superb for its prize, this is a handy little FP. Only complaint is that the green is a bit glaring and do not lend well to reading for long periods.

I really like the color of this pen, but the ink does not flow smoothly - it's incredibly inconsistent, so I can only give it 3 stars

By fun...

I ordered this on a Friday and it arrived the following Tuesday - hooray! we love fast shipping! The pen (in apple green) arrived in great shape - no ink leakage issues as in other reviews. I haven't checked, but maybe it is an issue that is related to aircraft pressurization during shipment of overseas orders? *shrugs*
I like the fact that. while the pen is a miniature, it fits in the hand as a full sized pen when the cap is put onto the end. The color is great. I ordered a few other color refills, but it'll be a while before I get into those...

By expos49652

I just got the Apple Green pen today and it only has about 1/4 of the ink left in it! Looks like the ink had leaked in the cap, so I can only give it 4 stars. Other than that, I love the color and will most likely be buying the refills when they are back in stock. I also have the wine red and cobalt blue ones that I purchased a while back and I've enjoyed writing with them so much that I've already ordered refills. Overall, a good pen for the variety of colors, if you can get one with most of the ink still in it!

Received another Apple Green Petit1 pen thanks to JetPens and I LOVE this color!!!

By glitterfishie

I ordered 4 of these little pens, and out of the 4 only the Apple Green came all leaky. I was sad, as the ink was GONE from the barrel. Pretty color though.

I think its an ok fountain pen. It lasts a long time, and I use it all day at work for 8 hours straight!!

The nib kind of messes up a bit after a while though...the ink all of a sudden flows too freely, but then it corrects itsself somehow. I'm probably wearing it out. hehe

Overall I like them!

By cohen_1080

I think Sam I am 51 was a little harsh.. its true that the ink is poor quality but the pen itself is remarkably well made, I have 3 of these (red, blue and black) and have found the nibs to produce a pleasingly steady line with a smooth ink flow, further more the steel nibs are quiet flexible which makes for a very nice writing experience.

These pens can actually be converted to an “eye drop filler” set-up very very easily if you didn’t want to be stuck with the colours pilot offer.. just wrap a little plumbing tape around the screw thread and fill the handle with the ink you prefer.

My pens haven’t leaked yet, there not as good as my other pens but I mean.. 5 bucks!!

By midnight_3_moon

I was walking around a stationary shop the other day (I live in Hong Kong, China) and I saw one of these and just HAD to have it. It was this color (Green's my favorite) and I bought a whole bunch of refills. This is a great pen to start with if you are just beginning collecting: cheap, and so cute! If you don't collect, I recommend that you just buy ONE actual fountain pen, and refills in every color. That way, you can find your favorite color and buy a fountain pen (and maybe more refills!) of it.

But then and again, that's just me.

By bylandl

I was wandering around the city when I stumbled upon a Japanese bookstore, and I decided to have a look around.

I got this pen, and a set of blue-black refills for it.

I started writing with it, and it quickly became my favorite pen. It's cheap (and small) enough that I can carry it in my jeans pocket, and it hasn't leaked on me yet. I ran it through with water before switching to the blue-black ink, and that seems to have worked. The writing is fine and smooth, although it feathers a bit and bleeds through newsprint/ pulp paperback. If you're going to write on high-quality stock paper, you'll have very little problem.

I love this pen.

  I'm a pen freak. Rollerballs..., March 24, 2007

By sam_i_am514

I'm a pen freak. Rollerballs and fountain pens are the bane of my existence, so I saw these little pens and just had to have them.

Right out of the package they're just as adorable as they are on screen, if not more. They've definitely put a fun twist on the classic sophisticate pen that is fountain.

But the first time pen meets paper, you realize all you're getting is novelty. Granted, it is a 5 dollar pen, so you expectation can't be too high, but it writes like a .94 cent bic ballpoint, which is an absolute travesty for even the cheapest fountain pen. As I'm writing, I notice that it's feed and filtration system is closer to that of a ballpoint with an ink chamber, which isn't good or bad, it's just a note.

The ink is almost transluscent, it's pretty watered down- again, cheap ink, you can only expect so much.

The moral of the story? You get what you pay for.

It's absolutely adorable, which is the only reason I bought it in the first place. But if you're a pen aficionado, it's performance is sure to disappoint.

If you're just shopping around and happen to find them adorable, you'll be getting exactly what you wanted.
