Excellent pocket pen

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.

Great portable size

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.

Pen is far from perfect, but for the price it is beautiful and fun to use so I am satisfied. I had one O-ring break and the replacement didn't fit as well, I'm a little bit nervous I won't be able to replace it if it breaks again. It sucks that they couldn't use better O-rings, especially since the function of the design hinges on them. Although popping the cap on and off is great, a screw on/off design for the cap would serve the design much better. The pen nib is not the best. Requires too much pressure on smooth paper. Works wonderfully if the paper has a little tooth, but I prefer more flexible nibs. Despite all that, I'm going to get another one the next time there is a drop.

Very happy with it!

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.

Leaky and unpleasant

This pen only exists to remind me that I was a fool for aesthetics. Sliding on the cap feels like tiny nails on a tiny chalkboard. Also it leaks and skips. Also, it's not as pretty as it looked online. I got catfished by this useless rod that I can't even use as a paperweight because it is too light. It's more useless than a paperweight, and it's messy.

Maybe I got the best Brass one? Mine has been great and a decent writer. It did come dirty which knocked a star. It's a Bock nib, not a Jowo or anything with flex, but it is smooth. Mine did not come with sharp edges or anything that would degrade the rings. Truth be told, these brings are readily available if they die and it comes with extras in the package. I think it's a better value and better looking than the only other quality pen in this size... Kaweco Lilliput. It also uses the same bulb converter as the Lilliput which can be found online for a few bucks.

This breaks my heart, because I have other pens from this company and I really love them. I feel like there was a completely different team working on this than all the others. Never in my years of using fountain pens, have I seen a tiny rubber o-ring as the entire cap retention system. These will, by nature, degrade and fail over time. Which makes it a disposable pen. I bought the brass version. And the very first time I removed the cap, I could not get it back on. I had to push so hard that the o-ring had the outer layer sheared off. You’d think after I inadvertently made the o-ring smaller, the cap would go on easier the second time. Nope. Its a struggle every single time. It baffles me that they assembled each and every one of these and said “yep, these are good to go”. Also this is designed to be a pocket pen. If you do carry it in your pocket, be prepared to lose the o-ring on the back, making it impossible to post and impossible for anyone with normal sized hands to write with. The body design is good and my nib was good. Some simple 1 rotation threads would have been fine, like all their other pens. Again, heartbroken.

I did not see an option for me t post a review, probably missed it. I assumed it may have been because I had not purchased mine thru Mass Drop... I ordered mine when ENSSO had their Kickstarter. Be happy to post it as a review, but don’t see where the option is.... sorry

j-e-gI see. Yes, I think you can only review if you purchased through Drop.

It is an OK pen... nothing like the TWSBI ECO I bought for a similar price though.

I got the raw brass 1.1mm and it arrived today. The nib sold isn't the pictured one and feels scratchy. The body of the pen already has marks. The pen gives off a metal smell that I don't mind too much, but I am really bothered that it gets stuck to my hands too. Perhaps I should've gotten the aluminum one, but overall I'm disappointed with the pen.
