By bakugan08

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.

By sea...

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.

By foxinthestars

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.

By dayneil

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.

By onishii

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.

By Dal...

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.

By stgeorge

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..., December 10, 2009

By rjcerio

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,..., September 30, 2009

By voodoocat

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.

By xbluefirex

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.

By saphirecoqui

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.
