Although the quality control on the Pilot Petit pens seems to be a bit lacking, most of the ones that I own are very smooth and are quite comfortable when posted. It was a bit of a hassle acquiring each of the Pilot Petit pens due to the fact that several of them have been discontinued. I do really like these pens and the inks they come with, so I thought I'd share!

Here they are

The colors that have been discontinued are:

• Violet
• Cherry Pink
• Mandarin Orange
• Turquoise

The pens themselves are on their 3rd iteration as of this post.

I have some of the Baby Pink carts, which I use in a Pilot Prera instead. But man, I would totally buy a Turquoise and Cherry Pink one if they were still around!

I want the Turquoise so badly. I'm likely, soon, going to be buying one of each currently available. They're adorable and I feel like they'd be a perfect intro to modding pens- if I break one, I'm not gonna be angry about it.

HNGH!! I need those four discontinued colors!! Plus the all-white one! I just love these little pens.

Once you get them all you can start collecting the Prera Iro Ai

I love the violet one. I have one of the old style Pilot Petit 1 pens that has a purple body and cap, but it did not have purple ink inside, and I've never found cartridges for it.

 

I recently bought one the apricot orange one, which is pretty, but it's useless because the ink is so light I don't know what I would do with it.

So the collective noun for Pilot Petits must be a rainbow.

 

Excellent collection.

The only ones I wanted were the ones that got discontinued, haha. Thanks for this, though!

I bought a whole slew of the current line, and the apricot ink is pretty atrocious. I dumped the ink out of it and used an eyedropper to put my own ink into the cartridge. (I actually turned a bunch of these into eyedropper pens, but the threads are too shallow and wide-set.. The ink crept THROUGH the silicone grease I used, even storing them nib-up, and leaked into the cap. At least it didn't make a huge mess.)

 

I'm surprised they don't have a yellow one, or a brown one. Imagine having a nice sepia or chocolate brown ink inside a Pilot Petit with clear, warm brown accents.. It would be like writing with a truffle.

There is a Brown in the original Petit lineup... a nice darker brown too. Best of all the Petit1s

 

Lately been trying to refill using Waterman Havana Brown (too dark) or Pelikan 4001 Brown (too light) but it's not the same & they run drier

 

Next is eyeing the "sepia" in Pilot Parallel cartridges...

Thanks for sharing. My daughter tempts me with her Cherry pink pen and ink.
