Match A Conid Bulkfiller

Recommended Posts

So, I can bet everyone on this topic is also a fountain pen fanatic! I am. So here's my question, we all know that the Conid Bulkfiller is a unique type of item. Most of the "commercial" fountain pen makers have the accompanying ball/rollerball pen for their fountain pen. Conid doesn't. So my question to you Aficionado's (respectfully) what ballpoint or roller ball would be a nice accompaniment in terms of cool for the Conid Buikfiller?

Well. As a "fountain pen fanatic" I'd get another Bulkfiller. :D

You might want to indicate which model and configuration Conid you have in mind.

Add lightness and simplicate.

Maybe email conid and ask if they could custom make something? If you're in for a conid cost, you can probably afford something custom.

Well fact is I obtained one at a very reasonable price and it's a bucket list purchase. So I'm not interested in paying retail for conid ballpoint. I thought someone may have already done this.

If you're okay with a metal pen that matches the industrial feel of a conid, Karas Kustoms and Tactile Turn both make impressive rollerballs.

 

As far as a clear acrylic design, apart from a rollerball insert in a PenBBS pen (so it'd still be using FP ink) I can't think of anything. You'd be best set just going with a rollerball you really, really like.

 

The montegrappa nerouno has a pretty whimsical, interesting finish that might play well with a conid.

 

I just don't really care for FP/Rollerball sets. I prefer a pen/pencil set.

      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

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @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
