Suggestions For Really Cheap Flex Nib Foutain Pen

[I like mango cheesecake]

I've purchased an Ahab and an FPR flex pen and those are the only pens I threw in the garbage. They were awful and frankly a waste if my money.

I agree with you and Lamyrada about the Ahab. Haven't been able to toss it, although I know I should - or give it to someone who's deserving!

The reason I thee the Ahab away was because the piston got stuck an then the section and barrel got stuck afterwards. The pen cracked when I tried to unstick them. The pen would also just not write from the get go. It would railroad almost immediately. I did everything everyone suggested and still it was a dud.

 

As for the fpr pen it was so poorly constructed I snapped the piston rod upon the first filling. The pen also leaked like crazy and would constantly burp ink.

 

I guess I got duds all around but ymmv
