Upon more research, these are apparently very, very good... [url]http://www.jetpens.com/Zebra-Sharbo-X-Multi-Pen-System/ct/786[/url] But also very, very expensive. Anyone here ever used/owned one?
[QUOTE=Vulture Culture;40503100]Glad to see this pen here. They are amazing, truly. Can't go back to standard pens after writing with these gel types.

[IMG]http://www.theofficedealer.com/mm5/graphics/product_images/650/seo/Pentel-BL57A-Energel-Gel-Pen.jpg[/IMG] And here I thought I was the only one using energels. Really nice lines and else but the caps on this model get loose after much wear.
So what do you guys like more? Pens with caps or clicky pens?

[QUOTE=garychencool;40504938]What the hell, those thing exists?[/QUOTE] Yea, I have the blue one shown in the picture. Very nice pencil, although it is slightly smaller than what most people would be used to. [url]http://www.jetpens.com/Pentel-Sharp-Kerry-Mechanical-Pencils/ct/356[/url]
If I was to see those in store, I'd think they were all pens.
[QUOTE=Shadaez;40501980]Now I'm considering the Noodler Flex [editline]2nd May 2013[/editline] Is there a Lamy flex nib somewhere?[/QUOTE] To my knowledge they don't if you are going for italics then again copperplate dip pen is the best choice as the flexibility and the angle that the pen is at creates an amazing cursive writing experience. Although I never dived into american writing intruments (i have a biased for european and japanese) I can say that noodlers has been in the fountain pen business for a while but they are more well known for their inks than pens.

As someone who writes left handed. I went through a lot of pens. Writing left handed tends to disturb the flow of ink, making most pens I used not work after a few days. But I've had awesome luck with the Pilot G2 pens. It's all I've been using all of high school.
Guys, one of my gel pens (papermate gel 2020 blue) has this big air bubble at the base of the tube blocking 9/10ths of the ink tube. What do? Defective ink tube? It's barely used too.
I have tiny hands so I bought a tiny pen in Japan called the Pilot Birdie. The pen is only 4 and 3/8 inches. I love it so much. [img]http://static.jetpens.com/images/a/000/013/13668.jpg[/img]

I need something for my gargantuan fingers on my small palm. But yes you don't want to lose your Pilots, they cost a pretty penny. I prefer the thicker 0.7 mm, but both are good.

Just placed a fairly expensive order at jet pens, once the stuff arrives, I'll post it here. Some pens might be familiar to those on this thread :)
Resident fountain pen expert here chiming in. I've been using fountain pens for about 15 years now, and have been collecting over the past 5 years so I've got a lot of knowledge about fountain pens specifically if anyone wants to ask me some questions (if the OP is ok with that)? Firstly, in the OP it says fountain pens use gravity to put ink to paper. That's completely wrong. They use the capillary effect to draw ink down the fine slit in the nib, through the tip and onto the paper. There are also way more filling mechanisms than just cartridge/converter. Some of the most common are piston and plunger fillers, and a lot of vintage pens are aerometric/vacuumatic fillers along with a few other unique fillers like the Sheaffer Snorkels. There are other types of liquid ink pen that work on the same effect such as stylographs. Here's some pictures of my small collection: [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/edEcb4tl.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/QSeu4Qjl.jpg[/IMG] From left to right they are: [b]Jinhao 3000[/b] - A Chinese made pen embodying the worst of Chinese manufacturing. Gaudy, heavy, cheap, and writes like shit. Shouldn't have bought it but it only cost £15. Has a cheap gold-plated medium steel nib. [b]Onoto Ink Pencil[/b] - A stylograph pen. This one is from about 1925. Doesn't work at the moment as I need to restore the seals in it, but it's a beautiful looking classic pen. Uses a very fine wire nib. £5. [b]Waterman Hemisphere[/b] - My first "serious" fountain pen. Made of palladium plated steel it's got a nice weight to it. Has a very wet medium steel nib that's very nice to use after some tweaking. £15. [b]Sheaffer Snorkel Crest[/b] - This uses Sheaffer's ingenious Snorkel filling system. It was made in Australia back in the 50s and has a very stiff palladium-silver fine nib. £20. [b]TWSBI Diamond 540[/b] - This is an ideal pen for those looking for a very well made, reliable, and cheap fountain pen. It's very tough as it's made from transparent polycarbonate and uses a piston filling system so it has a huge ink capacity. It has a 1.1mm italic steel nib. £30. [b]Montblanc Monte Rosa[/b] - From the 40s. This is a pen made by an offshoot of the famous Montblanc brand of pens. It was a cheaper model compared to the standard vintage Montblancs. Has a piston filler and a nice transparent blue ink window. Gold plated steel nib. £10. [b]Parker 17 Super Duofold[/b] - One of Parker's '51' derivative pens with a hooded nib. From the 60s and has a wet 14k gold nib and an aerometric filler. £10. [b]Pelikan M400 White Tortoise[/b] - My first "expensive" fountain pen. It's made of a white acrylic with a tortoise shell coloured celluloid barrel. Gorgeous pen with a 14k bi-colour medium gold nib and a piston filler. [b]Parker Slimfold[/b] - Another of the Parker Duofold derivatives. A very small pocket pen but has one of the smoothest nibs I've ever used on it. Has a fine 14k gold nib and an aerometric filler. [b]Pilot M90[/b] - This was my first "grail" pen. One I'd been trying to find a good example of for many years. This is unique as it doesn't have a separate nib, instead the section is extended and formed into a nib. Has a nice springy stainless steel nib and a gorgeous brushed steel body. This is a Japanese pocket pen, being short while it's capped but the correct length for comfortable writing when the cap is posted to the back of the body. Takes a cartridge/converter. There were only 9000 of these made, and I have number 1008. I got this relatively cheap at £300. [b]Aurora Hastil[/b] - My new baby. I got this pen from the Northern Pen Show a couple weeks back and it's become my favourite almost overnight. It's a very slim pen which was designed in the early 70s, and was the first writing instrument to be featured in the New York Museum of Modern Art. I think it's absolutely beautiful. Each one is made to order so no two pens are exactly alike. Aurora don't wholesale them anymore so you have to buy them from the factory directly. Uses a cartridge/converter. The most unique part of the pen is what it's made from. Aurora call it Ecosteel. They take steel and melt it with diamonds to make a very high carbon steel which is then formed into rods and made into pens. Has a rhodium plated 14k gold nib. £360. As you can see you can get great pens for not much money at all, but you can spend however much you want on a decent product. Cost doesn't necessarily correlate with quality or materials, but it's usually an indicator that you're looking at something special if you're paying more. (With the exception of Montblanc in my opinion). I know a reasonable amount about vintage pens too and am capable of restoring a lot of models of pen to working condition. I'll probably get called a nerd, but I really love pens. I think the written word is art and is one of mankinds greatest accomplishments. Shame my handwriting really isn't very good :v:.

[/QUOTE] Sorry for the mis con-skewed but you are wrong also cause ink molecules drag each other which is the capillary effect but first gravity needed to be there to open that first molecule to pull the other. I know there are other converters but the most common I came across (although I only buy japanese fountain pen mainly) is a screw and plunger. And of course you are open to accept questions this is just a general discussion. if you like me to edit any part or add your own small pen review that would be great. Also you seem to like a thin pen have you seen the Sailor Chalana I was considering it but I'm thinking a thin pen's balance would be completely off. I also have a pen you might be interested in a Shaeffer Imperial 440 an inlaid 14k fountain pen. It's nice to see another proper fountain pen user here !

I also have a pen you might be interested in a Shaeffer Imperial 440 an inlaid 14k fountain pen[/QUOTE] It's not gravity that pulls the first bits of ink out of the nib though, it's the wicking action of the ink absorbing into the paper allowing the capillary effect to take over and deliver ink. Although you could argue semantics as the pen is vertical and gravity will have an effect I guess. You won't get ink flow trying to write on the ceiling for example :v:. Great, I didn't want to hijack your thread or anything! I do like thin pens a lot. I hadn't heard of the Chalana but that's a very nice looking pen. Sailor's nibs are always fantastic too. I like Japanese pens a lot too, but at the moment I'm really into Italian pens for some reason! With a thin pen, the balance is less important than being able to grip it in the first place in my opinion. You need small hands or they'll be very uncomfortable after a while, it being top heavy doesn't help with that though. I don't usually post my pens as they mostly end up top heavy, with the exception of the M90 as that's designed to be posted.

Maki-e pens are beautiful. I think Sailor does one which is a picture of a Phoenix which is absolutely gorgeous. The Pelikan ones are really nice too. Have you tried any pens made using Urushi? The Namiki ones are really nice, I'd love to try one but they're very expensive. Jinhao review coming up. Edit: This is the Jinhao 3000. Also known as the Year of the Tiger pen. It came out in 2010 to commemorate the fact it was the year of the tiger in the Chinese zodiac. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/M1RbXDtl.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/2qzOwm3l.jpg[/IMG] Jinhao are one of the largest Chinese pen manufacturers and one of the most well known, along with Baoer, Duke, Hero, and Kaigelu. In the 80s and 90s, thanks to extremely cheap production costs, a lot of the large pen manufacturers, like Parker, moved their factories from the West to China. Eventually as business started falling, they pulled out of China, leaving behind a lot of the tools and blueprints for their pens. Some of the Chinese manufacturers got hold of these tools and blueprints and started copying them, in the proudest Chinese tradition. The 3000 isn't a copy of a pen however, it's an original Jinhao. They're known for being a manufacturer of cheap pens, which are often quite gaudy, with imaginative designs and a lot of precious metal plating going on. The 3000 has a brass body, covered with a thin red and black mottled lacquer. On top of this is a brass overlay that has been chromed which incorporates a tiger motif. The motif is actually really nicely done in my opinion and is the best part of the pen. The rest of the pen is a complete let down though. Thanks to it's brass barrel and a lot of metal, it weighs a colossal 55 grams. This is extremely heavy in pen terms, meaning it is very uncomfortable to use over a long period of time. It comes with a standard international-fit screw cartridge/converter, meaning it has quite a small ink capacity of a pen this size, though it'll hold a comparative amount to any other cartridge based pen. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/mvEANUgl.jpg[/IMG] The nib is huge. Nearly an inch long. It's made from very thin steel, making it very fragile, which is plated with gold. It's a nice simple nib, but it's way too big for my taste. It also performs horribly. It won't write unless you put a huge amount of pressure on the nib, which is likely to damage it in the long run. I've tried adjusting it so ink flows better, cleaned out the feed, and flushed it through many times but nothing will make it write properly. This is an unfortunate trend in Jinhao pens, and as I use all my pens regularly it makes it pretty much useless to me. The cap is one of the slide-on types, but fits so tight that it's hard to get it on and off, at times risking damaging the nib with the force it comes off. The section is quite nice however, incorporating a piece of very grippy plastic which makes it quite nice to hold. The only redeeming feature of this pen is that it was cheap. They can be had for under £5 online, which while expensive for a Chinese pen, is cheap compared to most Western/Japanese pens. However it's a waste of money if you get one that doesn't write. In conclusion, if I was to give the pen a rating purely on it's aesthetics and build quality, I'd give it a 3/10. It's way too heavy and the cap is clumsy, but some of the design is nice and the section is good. But as you must be able to use the pen, accounting in writing quality and feel, I'd give it a 0/10. There's no point in a pen that can't write unless you bought it specifically to look at. Which I didn't. Avoid this pen like the plague, you'll only disappoint yourself. That is unless you like looking at and spending money on very tacky things :v:.

It's like they just cut a nib shape out of a coke can, painted a bit gold and called it a nib. The Varsity but comparison is absolutely perfect. Yeah Jinhao do have some pretty cool looking designs. A lot of overlay pens are really expensive, like the Pelikan Toledo. But you can find some fancy vintage pens on ebay for cheap occasionally. Have you looked at Montegrappa or Krone pens? They've got some pretty crazy designs on some of their pens. I'm personally not a fan of gaudy pens, I like mine a bit more understated.

The HitechPointV5 Grip is like $3 each and I'm pretty sure I can't refill those.

If you like a more understated but somewhat nicely decorated pen Caran d'Ache does some really nicely designed pens for alot cheaper (still around 1000 - 2000 area) and they nibs are amazing
Bought one! Just a cheap shaeffer calligraphy pen for $5 since that's what they had at Staples (other than some shitty looking Cross pens). I was hoping to get a plumix and Metropolitan but they didn't have them. It seems to write pretty well :) Also got a nice little notebook. [t]http://i.imgur.com/NvRxmv0.jpg[/t]
