Product Description
Machined from a solid block of aluminum or brass, the Ensso XS minimalist pocket pen is meant to go everywhere with you. When closed, it’s one of the smallest fountain pens in the world Read More
I purchased this to use on the go. I like how small it is very convenient to carry. I wish this drop came with the option for a converter and a clip.
I purchased a Kaweco Mini Converter for the Sport to replace the cartridges. Because of the size of the pen it doesn't carry a lot of ink but gets the job done for a couple of weeks worth of writing.
I love this pen. It's a fast, quick, easy writer.
I keep a light coat of silicone plumber's grease on the o-rings. I have to refresh the grease periodically, because it rubs off slowly in my pocket or my purse. But the cap posts beautifully, the nib doesn't dry out, and I've used this pen heavily, daily, for months and months and the o-rings show minimal wear. With that in mind, I think it's a terrific little pen.
I am very happy with this pen overall. I have not had any issues with the o rings failing, even after quite a bit of pocket carry since it arrived. The black finish has held up spectacularly, even with metal objects jostling it in my pocket.
Overall, very pleased and no complaints.
I like it its small and good usability. Just as everyone else has experienced. It's good weight but the rubber o ring is the problem for the cap. Mine was lost on the end cap, in 2 weeks. And I can't used it because the cap won't hold without orings. Asked ensso about replacement they're out of stock and I have to order myself. If you change the rubber o ring with a threaded cap it would be just fine.
Not completely terrible, but not as nice as I'd have liked. Machining quality is pretty low. O-rings are quite loose. Clip feels very weak. That said, it writes well enough - I've not had the skipping issues others mentioned. I do like the size, though, so I will probably replace this with what I should've bought from the get-go: a Kaweco Liliput.
