I've used all of the pens from this company. They are great for what they are.
Some of the reviews are just plain ignorant.
At this price point, you are going to have to know something about using fountain pens, or look at this as a great opportunity to get your hands dirty and do some learning.
For instance, some inks run, some inks stain, some inks don't work with some pens. The paper you use matters. You need to know how to do an initially set up, flush the pen, check the tines, etc. So many factors.This should be done with the fanciest of pens. If you are looking for plug and play maybe fountain pens aren't right for you.
Or you need to be realistic about what you get for your money. You can pay for a fountain pen that will be easier for you, but people find plenty to complain about them as well at any price.
Some companies do sell crap pens across the board. This is not one of them.
Yes you have to fiddle and finesse, but that's part of the fountain pen game, it's an outlet for those who find value and fun in the romantic nature of things that require some amount of knowledge and attention to get the best performance out of something.
And you'd better believe if it really is a problem that comes from the manufacturing or you got something defective, these guys will replace it asap with an apology and words of advice.
I'm 35 and some of these people are making feel like an old man yelling off of his porch.
it's 2 piston filling pens for 24 dollars that work just fine if you care enough to invest yourself in the process.
Oh, and they smell. It's because of the material they are made of. Every single review mentions they smell, how are people surprised? You should know they smell. You should know something about fountain pens in general before you try and use them. This is an old technology that was replaced because something that was way easier to use was invented. People get that right? This is a niche market because something more convenient was created..... Unless you are ordering them from a time when the internet doesn't exist, you really can't complain. Seriously. I feel for you that the thing you ordered to be cool along with your pipe to smoke in front of your dorm didn't work out, move on.
Phew. But really, it's the same thing every time.
And not directed toward people with genuine complaints, these are not perfect pens. There are some things people are willing to overlook and for me at this price these pens deserve some overlooking of the negative aspects, but I get that for some people that is not the case. We've all got what we like. But there are pens at a much higher price point - twisbi -kaweco, et al, that you've got to tweak as well, so for me, these are great.
I'm going to go over to the hobby community now. I know absolutely nothing about spinners or tops or whatever, but I'd really love to buy one and b*tch about how it performs.

UsergradeSomeone liked this comment so I got a message telling me and I looked at what I had written. I thought I should clarify about the "smell" - not all of them do and it's never really bothered me or been strong enough to recognize in actual usage. Your experience may be different obviously, but I wanted to down play it a bit, as when I was responding I *may* have been more concerned with being snarky than expressing that it's not such a big deal.

Delivered the day before yesterday.
When I opened the envelope, I was surprised. Pens smelled so bad. I don't know what kind of smell it is.
I don't want to touch them. Because, after touching them, my hand starts to smell.
I want to know how should I solve the problem.

CHICKENGODThe pens (like most pens from India) are made from a special kind of plastic called vegetal resin. (Many Noodler’s Pens are made of the same material). There are plenty of people out there who enjoy the new pen smell (similar to the offgassing of plastics that produces the new car smell). If you don’t like the smell you can scrub the pens in dish soap and let them soak in a dish soap solution overnight to speed in its removal. I don’t own this particular pen but I do own many from FPR and they are very good quality given the price you pay for the pen. If you’d like a higher quality pen that doesn’t require any maintenance on your part to start using you might want to check out Visconti which has some very nice pens starting at around $500.

DaveHoffTheir flex nib is where it's at :p
Don't get me wrong : these are by no means classic flex, but they still have a nice bounce. Going from hairline to a decent 0.7mm bold comes naturally with little pressure, but anything beyond that will require attention and heavy pressure.
Come to think of it, I'm really curious about their new added-flex version with the cutouts on the wings of the nib.

I bought a pair of FPR Darjeeling in the last drop and I've been using it daily since then. Writing with them has been a joy!

Shipping cost to Australia makes this a $50 purchase so sadly a no. I don't understand the $10.50 shipping cost for 2 fountain pens?
mind you FPR themselves charge $15.... I have no idea why US companies charge so much for shipping ? I will I guess continue to buy out of Asia.

That change won't be for the better, though, unless the UPU can reach a new agreement on terminal dues. If the withdrawal goes through it will only result in shipping costs going up for everyone.

Good price if you're in the US where shipping is free, but the rest of the world are getting totally screwed on the shipping cost. For most countries it's over $10 shipping for the two pens, and then if you want another two pens, you get hit with the full shipping fee again.
If you wanted to get 6 pens, it's actually cheaper to buy direct from FPR at their normal price of $17 per pen, since they offer free international shipping for orders over $75 (compared to over $30 shipping from Massdrop).
And of course if you order direct from FPR you're not limited to only the pens in this drop. You can choose from any of their pens, such as the Darjeeling which is currently on sale for just $9 a pen.

Not affiliated, just a happy customer. They are good folk and I encourage everyone to visit their online shop.
They are easily the most affordable option I know of for ebonite pens and hand-cut ebonite feeds.

Would love to see a drop with FPR's Ultraflex nib as an option in the future!
I have a Muft pen with it and love the flex performance.

I have never owned a fountain pen and would consider these as an beginning pen, but I am a bit overwhelmed.
I want to improve my penmanship and have always thought it would be fun to copy the Bible (I know large project).
I would like to get some advice on which nibs to get, also I would guess that there is no ink included and I have no idea which direction I should go there either.

211bmaI actually do this with a fountain pen every week. I purchase the Journibles on Amazon and write out a chapter a week. Sometimes two. I don't know anything about this particular pen, but in general, fountain pens do help me keep my hand at a comfortable angle. That produces less writing fatigue. That equals better and more consistent penmanship. Strongly recommend the Journibles if you don't already have a plan for what you'll write on.

211bmaFor a begginer I would like recommend you the LAMY Safari FINE nib, but please do not buy from Amazon as you will find many counterfit items there. It's affordable and it is a very nice pen!

Cool stories. If only the pens didn't smell like they were stranded on the ice planet Hoth and had to spend the night inside the carcass of a tauntaun.
