Customer Reviews

I am absolutely a novice fountain pen user. I love these pens. Even flow. Not scratchy. No drying problems for me.

I tried these pens out on Campus note paper and while the colours are very pigmented and vibrant, the ink itself does not dry very quickly compared to other inks I've tried. For the price I suppose this is bearable but I'd prefer an ink formulation which absorbs quicker.

I bought a pack of these on Amazon, and I must say I am very pleased with my results. The ink is a excellent dark and rich black. I really enjoy writing with it whenever I get chance.
The line is approximately 0.7mm thick. I'm not a fan of thick lines (0.5mm is my friend!), but if you enjoy bold and disposable fountain pens, picking this up would be an excellent idea.
And let me tell you, these pens last a LONG time. I used one for seven to eight months. Don't judge the ink by the clear window on the side! Even if it looks empty, there's a good month left in the pen.

Obviously these fit some people's writing style, but for me, they're too broad and wet---so wet that I have trouble with feathering and bleed-through on some papers where drier pens work fine. As one other minor nit, the inkview window is almost useless; there's only a window on one side, and with no way for light to come through, you can hardly see anything (not that I would mind this if I liked the ink flow, but it's just one more thing). I will give them that they're fast and smooth and don't tend to skip or dry out, but for the same price I would recommend the Platinum Preppy instead.

Write very fast, very wet, very thick. My favorite pen. In a blind pen test I would pick these cheapo pens over pens 10x the cost. Plus you can actually refill them by using padded pliers to pull out the nib/body. And there's nothing to cry over if you lose them.

This is a great pen for the price. . . actually, better than some I've paid much more for. It writes a smooth and juicy line, does not skip. I'm very pleased with it.

I really like this pen. It is the first fountain pen I have ever used. I really enjoy writing with it. I plan on buying another the next time I order something from Jetpens.

My dad got very sad and angry at the idea of a disposable fountain pen. Is like some oxymoron, usually fountain pens are forever, but nowadays we can find anything in the market.

I got a bit sad at the thickness of the produced lines, very thick and not useful for my cursive script.

@ "Also important is that the cap fits tightly and doesn't leak, I've been carrying one in my purse for months, and have never had a problem!"

You are aware that the cap has a hole in the end to equalize the pen's internal pressure when flying or even driving over a high mountain grade? The ink is formulated to not dry out or leak out, a "tight" cap has nothing to do with it.

This is a wonderful disposable fountain pen, and of really high quality for the price. It is extremely wet and thick, so keep that in mind when you're considering buying it. It bleeds through paper really quickly, unless you have high quality paper.

Writes as well as my expensive fountain pen, lasts twice as long as a cartridge, and ships out FAST. Best company ever!!!!

The Good: the nib is very smooth for something that is $3, the ink wasn't hard to start and flows wonderfully from the pen, light weight compared to some fountain pens, the ink color is very nice, overall for the price a great value

The Bad: The nib has zero flex, it's as hard as a nail. I have yet to find a paper that it doesn't feather on at least a little bit, and usually a whole lot, you can refill but it's a hassle.

Overall I would probably buy another one.

Well what a sweet little surprise this pen turned out to be. Yes, it looks like a marker, but maybe that is fun? In any case, it writes smoothly and the ink is a luscious deep grape. I am very pleased and intend to order a backup and more colors.

Very impressed! write very smoothly with bold lines. to bad it disposable :(.

I'm honestly quite shocked at the high ratings this pen has received. The nib is the kind with a round tip, so you can't vary the line thickness at all. It's a shame, too, because these are the thickest fountain pens I've ever used. Finally, the ink flow is ridiculously heavy, making it horrible for note-taking because your words bleed together and often bleed through the paper as well. Maybe you could use these for writing on posters, but on plain notebook paper it's just a pain.

I'll edit this review if I eventually find a good use for them, but for now they're a waste of space.

For a disposable fountain pen it writes very well. The price isn't bad. Colors are vibrant. I will order this pen again.

Overall its pretty good....
The ink flows nicely, no dry spots yet, feels good in your hand....however the ink does bleed thru sometimes.
My only dislike about the pen is its aesthetics....I can't get over how much it looks like a sharpie marker. When I first saw these in a store thats what I thought they were, untill I took the cap off and realized it was a fountain pen.

I love the idea of a disposable fountain pen, it's the best of both worlds. I love the idea of using a traditional fountain pen, but I lose pens almost as fast as I can buy them. The nib on these writes smoothly, and the ink dries quickly, important for left handers like me. Also important is that the cap fits tightly and doesn't leak, I've been carrying one in my purse for months, and have never had a problem!

nice pen, writes just as well if not better than much more expensive pens. I'm gonna have to try to refill this pen, but I wish Pilot would just make this pen easily refillable with cartridges. it's so fantastic you don't want to throw it away!

Very smooth and dark ink. It almost feels marker-like over the paper...not scratchy. It's a touch broader of a stroke than I'd like for regular writing, but that's my only beef with it.

Great pen for the money, however, it's only disposable if you throw it away! A pair of thin needle nose pliers at a 90 degree angle close to the barrel and a little finesse and this pen is refillable with any ink you want. Do this operation over a sink and maybe wear and old shirt as the feed will throw a little ink as you pull out the assembly.

For the price, and seeing that this it is disposable, I'm quite impressed about how well this pen performs. No ink blots, very minimal bleeding, and a sturdy build are just a couple of great things about this pen. On a few types of papers however, I've noticed that the ink does feather a little bit.

On a side note, I never saw a nib size listed. Upon receiving the pen, I noticed the nib marked with an _M_. The nib width is just a little on the big side for me, but the performance of this pen outweighs this fact, and I'll get used to it soon enough.

It's good to see these pens here. I bought two packs and used them all up, when I went back to Office Max they didn't have them any more. They don't carry cute pens any more. I will be buying these again.

Better than the Preppy pens... Very good for disposable Buy

I was very skeptical at first, because it is disposable. I can't believe how well they write, they don't leave ink blots. I have also carried it in my backpack and it never once broke (if you knew me you would understand how hard I am on my products). I was fearful because I have other pens explode on me.

The downsides: the pen is not refillable, there is no cartage. The ink is great for 95% of paper. The other 5% it may bleed, not though, but around the letters.

I do recommend this pen!!
