I feel these pens Flair Ink and cello are made in china by a single OEM manufacturer, I have earlier tried them to use them as ED but u get leakages from the section with time since the threading of the section is not according to a ED.Also the grip is too thick for an student.Try writing these for 15-20 pages as students do in exams ,it is not comfortable.

The Grippy FP from reynolds is having an untipped nib hence its life is less.

Dear basterma,

they do not take parker or lamy catridges. But can refill catridges as these catridges are made very good. But feed gets clogged very easily making it nonusable.

 

Flair Jumbo cartridges are available in stores: pack of 3 for Rs.10

When using as an ED try the conversion similar to Platinum preppy, with an o-ring and some silicon grease. It holds up pretty well.

 

But for their price range, i would buy a 10 pack if i want to use a spare pen :)

The ink inside the cartridge supplied along with this pens are not a regular fountain pen water based ink, These cartridges hold ink which is oil based some how similar to roller balls ink, also the feed system is somhow similar to a sketchpen(straw type) just a nib is fiited to it giving a look of fountain pen .

I am using these pens as ED (with a bit of silicone grease) for the last two years. Working excellent for me.

 

Also using the new version of Flair Executive as ED now.

Its a very common FP. You should get it in any stationery shop

I put my savings to test

Lamy & Pilot FPs the Best

No more I even think of the rest

(Preference Fine and Extra Fine Nibs)

Pen is meant for writing - not for looking :-)

In Hyderabad you can get it at Kitsons, I got from there. The nib lacks feedback but definitely worth a try for Rs. 35 ($ 0.55) :). You can also get a pack of 4-5 for about Rs. 200 from ebay.in or snapdeal.com

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
