I completely disagree..., July 25, 2011
I completely disagree with the comment below. This is the most amazing fountain
pen. One I put in the cartridge, the ink flowed easily and freely. The ink is
beautiful and vibrant. I bought a refill and now I\'m back to buy more because
of how frequently I use this pen. I took it with me to a convention along with
another bag of pens. This pen fascinated me so much I ended up blowing through 2
cartridges. This is a must buy. At the $, this pen is a great price and quality.

A nice economical FP,..., February 27, 2011
A nice economical FP, writes very well with a smooth flow. If you don\'t write
with it for a few days it does tends to dry at the nib but a second of
scribbling brings it right back. Definitely recommended for a reliable everyday
FP and as a great starting pen. For the $ this is a fine work horse. The purple
is a very rich color, more on the violet side but still easy on the eyes.

The barrel cracked along..., December 25, 2010
The barrel cracked along the seam within days of receiving one of these
pens...Very poor quality plastic...but when these pens do not crack they are
great, they have a very nice nib and are easily converted for barrel fill to use
with Noodler's Inks...It would be great if the company that makes these would
put more effort into the quality of the plastic especially at the seam.

I bought this pen and the blue one and the black one. it skips a lot at first
but after a while it writes smooth. you kinda have to shake it a little bit to
get the ink flowing. overall the ink flows well.

Even with the bad reviews,..., April 7, 2011
Even with the bad reviews, I decided to try this pen. Bought some Blue/Black
refills to go with it. I figured at only $3.00 who cares if it isnt so great,
right?
wrong. The problem is that with this pen it COMPLETELY frustrates you. It doesnt
write to begin with, so you pinch and poke and coax the ink into coming out. It
still wont budge. You get determined one afternoon, roll up your sleeves and
attack it with everything you have! You get some ink to come out..... And then
it stops..
I stored it tip down (Gasp!) for over a week, checking it daily, no, still wont
work. Finally, it writes without a ton of effort to start it, but i store it
upside down, and recap it when i pause to think what i am going to write next.
Is $3 worth the time and frustration to you? I say give it to a friend to get it
started for you and then, just maybe it might be worth it ;)
