My experience with the stub nib has been similar - very generous flow, one of the wettest pens I have.

I had a black Eco for a few months and LOST IT a week or so ago. I read this review because I was wondering if I should go ahead and get another one. I didn't think the white one looked so nice but this review convinced me that I should get a new white Eco in Medium (I liked the Medium nib). I was contemplating a 580 but I like to post. (isellpens.com has a red 580 on sale, and it's tempting)

 

Right now there's a TWSBI-sized hole in my heart since I can't figure out how I lost it. But as amberleadavis says, perhaps this FP's price point makes it easier when they do go missing. Thanks for the review and the great photos!

I did a trial the other day without mine and I was sad. The Eco is my trial pen because it doesn't run out of ink, and I won't hurt anyone in court if they take it. (Out of court actions are totally different).

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Great review in general and great pictures in particular.

 

Eco is a very good pen with a fantastic quality/price rate. Modern and stilish at the same time.

Great detailed review and lovely pictures, thank you. I was thinking about buying this pen just yesterday. I wasnt really fond of demonstrators, but seeing it inked, especially with this iroshizuku ink convinced me, it is beautiful, maybe a bit chunky cap but that's fine to me. Now i need to find it at a good price, in white and with ef nib, it proved to be a hard task yesterday, ill get back at it soon.

That's the beauty of demonstrators.. Makes you live them..

This thread is making me regret buying the EF instead of the stub D:

You can always buy the spare nib and feed..

I believe TWSBI does not sell the Eco nib & feeds separately, unfortunately.

I tried... They pointed me to either buying the Mini section or get a nib from a 3rd party. My budget doesn't really allow for that, unfortunately.

Fpnibs.com sell after-market steel nibs (not sure about feeds) to fit TWSBI Eco,at VERY reasonable prices. Their Diamond Mini nib assemblies won't fit the Eco, though - the nibs are too small!

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
