Bic Xpen Select

I messed about with this for a while, and flossed the nib. That seemed to do the trick.

 

Works fine now...

Unless I bought them out. :roflmho:

Worth about 6 dollars in Office Depot. Nice writer, expecially for the price

I received one of these from a friend in Québec just yesterday, probably bought at the Stylo shop in Québec where he spends much of his time these days. <G>

 

Mine has an aluminum barrel and a one-piece silver-painted plastic cap and clip; the cap definitely does not seal well to the section when put on all the way to the shoulder, but fits snugly a little further out. I'm thinking of adding a flat rubber washer about 1 mm thick against the shoulder; that should both tighten the cap and improve the air seal.

This is a great cheap fountain pen, my son really likes them too. Sometimes you get a hard start. I think it looks really nice pushing Platinum Blue Black, my journal entries using that combo stand out.

I am enjoying my X-Pen for £0.49p. It looks tough enough for school use. The barrel seems as tough as a Rotring Rivette, and you can stamp on those (We tested them in our school prior to release in the UK!) The soft grip collects dirt! The lid can work itself a little loose. I just checked and I have 3 of these "in stock" I gave a few away as prizes at school. I had to buy them at 49p!

That is a very good price for a Bic Xpen. It looks as if Bic has discontinued fountain pens and only will produce pencils and ballpoints. At the moment there are no fountain pens anymore at the bicworld website.
