Pilot V Pen (Varsity) Disposable Fountain Pens, Black Ink, Small Point Value Set of 5（With Our Shop Original Product Description）

If you want to spend as little as possible, get a very fine line, and have something that just works 100% of the time, stop reading reviews and just buy them. They aren't going to be the same writing experience as a $300 gold nib, but they punch way above their class. Keep them capped and they will NEVER dry out.

Outstanding pens, I bring them with me to places that might be inhospitable to a traditional, refillable fountain pen (such as my barn and riding arena where I frequently make notes on farm management and student progress). They never leak in my pocket or satchel. They handle altitude changes on drives into the mountains and on airline flights. They survive heat and cold. They do not fill the cap with ink if dropped. The nibs deliver just the right amount of ink and never soak paper to the point of tearing (poor paper notwithstanding). Note that while these are the fine nib models, not the more common Varsity medium nib, both fine and medium nibs in the Varsity line perform equally well. As a more seasoned fountain pen user, I simply prefer a finer nib.Keep in mind that these pens are disposable and intended to be so. While there are those who have successfully refilled them (including me), I insist that it is not worth the effort. There are too many excellent inexpensive reusable fountain pens on the market.Finally, you will be inundated by those who see you with one of these pens and think you are quite the special writer with your fancy fountain thingy. Talk up the joys of fountain pen use and explain that even the sloppiest writers will see their penmanship improve with a nice pen. Tell them how much you like to write now that you have discovered liquid ink and a nice nib. Having purchased a packet of these beauties, simply hand your pen to your admirer and say, "Take it! Enjoy!" They will argue. You will insist. Do not accept the pen back! If they keep it and use it, you will have introduced a new comrade to the union of fountain pen enthusiasts.

They are so nice, use it every day....

These are inexpensive, and lots of people like them for cheap eyedroppers. I thought they were cheap enough that I could toy with sharpening the nib to suit my own preferences. Compared to my Kakuno EF, they write more smoothly, but not as precisely. Whatever stock ink comes in the Vpen feathers a bit more than the Pilot Namiki cartridge in the Kakuno. The Vpen also writes pretty wet. It also seems more finicky; it doesn't want to write at as many angles as the Kakuno. I'd compare to other fountain pens, but these are only my second fountain pens. I hope to update as my thoughts develop.

Bolder than I wanted (I know I know, it’s a fountain pen)Decently fluid in writing with few hangups or missed lines.Overall I like
