New (and first) TWSBI

Recommended Posts

I have been wanting to dive into TWSBI for awhile, and when I saw the new TWSBI Eco in limited Yellow Demonstrator, I had to jump on it. I got the EF nib as per my usual, and this thing writes as smooth as glass. Almost too smooth, I like a little tactile feedback from most of my nibs, but I am happy I jumped in. This is great, currently inked with Heart of Darkness from Noodler's because I thought the black and yellow contrast looked nice.

The TWSBI Eco is a very good way to the whole line of TWSBI pens. If not abuse it can give you many years of writing and it comes with the necessary instructions  for maintenance. Enjoy your new pen.

Thank you for the photo. I have several Eco pens. Can’t help but like some of the colors they come out in, although my first Eco was the black ends version, then the white ends version. 
 

I hope you enjoy the pen.

I have an ECO EF, in white.  Really a nice writer; stays inked up for absolutely ages without any problems.  At present it contains Diamine Raw Sienna, but I might swap for Monboddo’s Hat and put the Raw Sienna in my Moonman T1.

 

Anyway, enjoy your new Demonstrator!

I was looking at how well it sealed and had a feeling. the fill mechanism doesn't want to move if the cap is on. I thought that would be beneficial for keeping the ink from being an issue.

Congratulations on the new pen and thanks for giving your thoughts! I haven't tried the Eco yet, but I love the swipe which is also 'smooth as glass.' Looks like I've got another pen to add to the list.

I'll be getting my wife a Swipe. She hates screw caps and likes converters. So I'm glad to hear you like it.

Eco the above congratulations with new pen. TWSBI are great pens especially with shimmer inks

Mine too - The plunger pressurizes the cap. Very complete seal.

Yeah, that honestly impressed me. It has been writing super for me, too.

Welcome to the club! I have seven ECOs, now, and I'm about to order an eighth. My one criticism of them is that, other than the clear, black, and white, all the colors are limited editions, so if you see a color you like, you have to jump on it immediately, before it sells out. Some sell out very quickly, others linger for months, but there's no way to know which way the wind will blow with every new release. I regret missing out on the solid yellow that was released right after the pandemic lockdown hit.

And I am still waiting for a basic red and a basic green.

Wonderful pens! How is that yellow doing, now? I'll bet really well. I accidentally got addicted to TWSBI with my first purchase and now I can't stop looking at them. They write splendiferously and write each and every time.

      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..

      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
