Pilot V Pen Disposable Fountain Pen - Black, Pack of 3

A disposable fountain pen is a bit of a novelty and people *will* ask you about the pen when they see you using it. Happily it's a surprisingly good fountain pen with a much better nib distortion and even stroke (a reasonable lack of nib flex) than it should have for this price. The ink flows nicely with little pressure and the flow is just right - not too much ink is delivered. When I first looked at the nib I didn't see any "fins". Fins - a groove like plastic sponge at the back of most nibs - are essential in a fountain pen to absorb an over supply of ink to the nib and prevent leaking. The fins are actually present in the V-Pen but within the body of the pen behind the nib. This must be a measure by Pilot to reduce the cost of nib manufacture. What amazes me is how well it works - if anything better than the traditional in nib structure. It also means that the pen is less messy around the nib/back of the nib. The ink (black in my purchase) is also of fairly good quality. It dries nicely in terms of time to dry and evenness of the result. There is no blotting on average quality (80gsm) paper. Like all fountain pen ink however it does mean that you have to use thicker paper than most economy reams provide. I wasn't happy with the results on 50gsm paper in terms of the ink showing through and blotting but this, of course, is a comment on fountain pen ink in general and not a comment on this pen. The barrel of the pen is not filled to capacity with ink. It's a bit naughty of Pilot, I think, to have closed off at least an inch of the barrel to the ink reservoir. This gives the pen a usable length in terms of grip but it's a shame that the length wasn't used to store more ink. I estimate that there is probably a bit less ink in the pen as there is in a Parker Quink cartridge. Each pen lasts me about four weeks with, approximately, 30 minutes of writing per day. The feel of the pen is though very good. The body of the pen is, for me, the right size - a nice grip without being bulky. I've also done leak tests - inadvertently leaving the pen nib down in my pocket all day (doh!) - and it didn't leak. These pens are not going to give premium fountain pens a run for their money in terms of quality of ink or solidity of the nib. However if, like me, you don't want to spend money on a more expensive fountain pen (which you'll just lose or break through stress playing with the clip) then the Pilot V-Pen is an excellent choice. The pen is disposable and is definitely not designed (or rather marketed) to be refilled after the ink is depleted. It is however possible to refill the pen on a DIY basis (Youtube is your friend). Personally I wouldn't advise this. The pen as it stands has been designed to resist leaks. I suspect that once you start fiddling with the seals you may be asking for trouble. I've notice after a few weeks of switching from a ballpoint pen to the V-Pen that my writing is less cramped and pressured (and my hand is having to work less hard too!) I would definitely buy another set of V-Pens.

I used to love fountain pens but haven't used one for years partly due to all the hassle. This V-Pen is amazing - fountain pen quality but disposable and no fuss. Highly recommended

Bought these pens for my teenage children to use at school as previous fountain pens had caused major ink stains. My daughter is left handed and didn't have any problem with this type of fountain pen. Ink dried quickly and didn't smudge and was a nice colour - I bought dark blue and the black ink pens. Only downside was that they ran out quickly, contrary to other reviews. My daughter used this every lesson at school and told me it ran out after a couple of weeks. So whilst inexpensive to buy initially it could prove to be expensive to replace so often.

For a disposable ink it’s excellent.Had lots if them and they never disappoint.Fluid,never blotches with a good writing nib. Recommended.

Pilot V-Pen Disposable Fountain Pen Wallet of 3 black are a set of pens I would happily recommend to all customers who like to write with a pen which produces nice even strokes. I was amazed when I received this set as the fluid pen strokes makes writing once again a pleasurable experience. Many years ago when I was at primary school we were taught to write properly with fountain pens as the nibs produces neater writing, and I still believe this is the case. Like many people I have got out of the habit therefore when I grabbed any old pen my writing would need a translator to overcome the untidiness and even found myself wondering what I actually did write down. Therefore when I seen the Pilot fountain pen advertised I decided to give them a go and I am so glad I did as now once again I am producing writing which I can read and not only that other people can read my writing mainly because of the nib as I have noticed the way the pen glides across the paper with no blotchiness etc. Pilot V-Pen Disposable Fountain Pen Wallet of 3 Black are a set of pens which I would recommend to any customer who wants a pen which works well and not only that unlike ordinary fountain pens there is no leakage of ink as there are no ink cartridges to loosen and make a mess or the ink well within the pen which are in the older style fountain pens. These pens are a nice cheap pen which works well for me and I do like the writing they produce which are the two main reasons I am recommending this set of pens as an excellent buy.

This is a great little fountain pen, and it’s cheap! The nib is a little too broad for my preference, and so far I’ve found it to be just a little scratchy but the ink dries almost instantly. I’ve tested it with a Frixion eraser and haven’t been able to remove any ink, but that’s not why I chose this pen. I bought a 3 pack black so my 11yo daughter could try out a fountain pen, and she loves it just as much as me. My 7yo son even enjoys writing with it (after some practice). I have Arthritis in my hands and find it a little too thin for long use, but will be keeping one of the pens for myself. If you’re reading these reviews, it’s a Pilot, one of the best brands, it’s cheap, and above all it’s a great little pen - give it a try!

What you need to know is that the ink does not stay black,it actually goes red on the paper after a couple of months☹️

Amazing

Die Lieferung der Stifte erfolgte im Rahmen des Zeitfensters. Sie gefallen mir ausgezeichnet und schreiben mit sehr guter Qualität. Würde ich jederzeit wieder käuflich erwerben. Ich würde mich freuen, wenn noch mehr Farben erworben werden könnten. Petra K.

Très agréables lors de la prise en main. J'ai retrouvé l'écriture soignée que j'avais il y a longtemps ! naturellement, sans forcer comme avec un stylo à bille. La plume est fluide, glisse bien, et écrire à la main redevient agréable 😍🤩 Je vais de nouveau envoyer des lettres à mes proches, à la place des mails 😊 Merci.

These feel great when writing or sketching. Surprisingly smooth pen to paper texture, they glide over the paper. They’re my new favorites.

scrive bene ma costa troppo
