Great Pens that take Parker/Visconti Gel Refills

[FountainPenCollectorToBe]

I read on several threads here that non-fountain pens write only as smoothly as their refills. Also, a number of people have cited the Visconti gel refills as the smoothest writing ones. Apparently, the Visconti refills fit into every pen that takes Parker gel refills--is that correct?

 

Two questions:

 

1. Do these gel refills work for Rollerball pens or only for regular ballpoint ones?

 

2. What are the best pens (from $50-$130) that take the Visconti/Parker refills?

 

Thanks very much!

Susana, thanks, I'll try that out. I want to clarify though, given Susanna's smiley: I'm also interested in brands besides Visconti/Parker that take Visconti refills.

 

Thanks.

In addition to Parker and Visconti, the refills will fit Aurora and Pelikan ballpoints.

I can't comment on which ones are the best, but the following are excellent ballpoints which accept Visconti/Parker style gel refills:

 

Aurora

 

Delta (certain models)

 

Faber Castell—Porsche Design BP

 

Monteverde

 

Pelikan

 

Taccia
