    Got one last time for 0.02.

    Nice lightweight pen.

    For anyone else getting these make sure you get ink cartridges for an extra $1.70 unless you have bottled ink available:

          Weighing in here, highly recommend the Mont Blanc inks
          Waterman are great value
          I've had hit and miss with the parkers
          Sailor is the smoothest writing, but the blue does leave residue if you don't clean regularly

        • fryandlaurie on 08/11/2015 - 14:46

          @engineeringprof:

          Sheaffer Skrip is OK too but Waterman is indeed the best value. I wish more supplies were readily available here. Sailor pens and inks are way out of range for me. I am currently just collecting and using some Chinese pens from Jinhao, Hero and Baoer. I will get the Pilot Metro one day when there is a good enough deal.

          For pens I have found this NZ bloke to be the most reasonable:

          They can be had on ebay.com.au, ebay.com, aliexpress and banggood (but the pens are dearer for some reason).

          For ebay, just type in Jinhao, Hero or Baoer and sort by cheapest :)

          I would recommend a Jinhao X450 or X750 for a really nice starting pen. I got my X450 for $2 delivered on ebay a few weeks ago. They are quite substantial and have large feeds and nibs. They feel good too and are mostly smooth and wet. Good for everyday carry that you won't mind losing or breaking.

          @fryandlaurie:
          Just gonna say this post goes against the spirit of oz-bargain and should be disregarded if you're really not after anything really nice.

          But if you really want some nice inks outside of the great ones you've already mentioned (waterman):

          J Herbin (the 1670 especially, the gold flakes will clog your pen up like no tomorrow but god are they pretty)
          Noodlers inks, very vibrant. Try the X-feather if you want a nice black (waterproof and you can use your pen only any quality level of paper without it feathering)
          Very hard to come by domestically though.

          As for Japanese inks (which you can buy here), you can try out the pilot iroshizuku range (very pretty, with a lot of depth to the colours) as well as has been mentioned, the sailor inks (my favourite being the kobe inks). Used to be able to buy these at kinokuniya.

          And for bargain fountains. The Jinhaos are great for their price (possibly on par with one of my poorer montblancs to be brutally honest). However, if you're thinking 50 or so dollars I'd say you're onto the right pen, the Pilot metro/prera has one of the smoothest nibs I've ever used, often find myself reaching for it rather than some of my more expensive pens (not because it's cheap but because it's just so damn good). For a bit of a 'bargain' you can try the classifieds on fountain pen network.

          Edit: fountain pens are habit forming, today you'll try out a 5 dollar chinese pen, tomorrow it's a pilot, before you know it you'll be trying to buy a thousand+ dollar visconti 'on-sale' for 800 or something.

          @Dsquall: Thank you for the great advice. I really do want to try out the J Herbin and the various Japanese and American inks but sadly I am pretty broke at the moment.

          Currently, I am waiting for a good deal on the Pilot Metro. I nearly bought the 78G but realised it is really light and would not suit me especially after I am used the much heavier X750/X450.

          I actually have a Platinum Riviera PTR 200 from Daiso ($2.80) and it is such a smooth nib. But as you said, Chinese pens are just so good for an entry point. So far I have only spent a couple of dollars each on the ones I own (Jinhao, Baoer and Hero) and it has allowed me to recognise what type of pen shape and nib I prefer.

          But yeah, ideally I will get a Pilot Metropolitan when I have enough disposable cash and then ink it up with the Iroshizuku. I will definitely check out the FPN classifields. There is also /r/penswap on reddit if you are interested. Hardly anyone ships outside of CONUS though :-(

          Grail pen will always be a Sailor with the Sailor ink. I have seen pictures of the nib and it is breathtaking.

          I am also practising my handwriting and writing and journalling whenever I can.

          It is indeed very habit forming. Thankfully I am satisfied right now by playing around with Chinese pens but I always have Ebay auctions on the lookout to snag a decent enough deal :-)

          I wonder if anyone would be up for Ozbargain Pen Pals where everyone handwrites to each other.

          @fryandlaurie:

          From what I can remember the Pilot 78G has a standard #6 nib, you should be able to take out the nib and feed and put it in one of your jinghaos which should also be a standard #6 (that is if you prefer the pilot nib).

          The platinum range are good and also offer a decent entry price for gold nibs (start at around 60 dollars on ebay I think, pretty good for a gold nib) if you're into that thing. However, I'm of the opinion gold nibs are a tad over-rated unless you really go top of the line (go hard or go home as they say).

          And I am a fan of handwriting as well (the one skill that I learnt in highschool that has stuck with me) but I'm not sure as to how many of us there are on ozbargain.

          I too am a kind of re- born FP freak. As an old fart I was schooled in the days where FP use was compulsory. I was rubbish then & just made splodges all over the paper. Still am rubbish, but I have a new found enthusiasm for the fountain pen. Recently bought the Pilot 78G ($19 delivered on eBay) & find the Medium nib a bit fine for my liking. I liked this Hero pen however & am keen to get into it a bit more.
          Not sure of next acquisition but Chinese might be the way to go.
          Might even get me into having a pen pal again!

      I got my pen last week.
      Haven't used a fountain pen in a while but it seems to write well.
      Local officeworks only had Parker Quink, seems to write well enough with this and the ink dries really quickly which is nice.
      I don't really use a pen much as I tend to use a computer for most things.
      Pretty sure I'll lose the pen before I use the first bottle of ink.

      • fryandlaurie on 08/11/2015 - 20:23

        Put it up on the classifieds if it comes to that. Turns out there are quite a few fountain pen users here that wouldn't mind purchasing it :)

        • coldturkey on 08/11/2015 - 20:29

          Oh, I like the pen well enough, and I do need to have a pen. But in practice I write maybe 20 words a day with a pen, so it'll take years for me to go through a bottle of ink.

  • Hoolio on 08/11/2015 - 15:19

    Question about the ink (mine arrived last week). You can either get cartridges or get a bottle of ink right? What's a cheap local source of ink? A few peepz mentioned Waterman ink and I found these bottles: http://www.pencity.com.au/shop/category/waterman-refills
    Any other advice? Thanks

    • cashless on 08/11/2015 - 16:07

      Waterman or Parker Quink from OW is fine for a 1 cent pen. Although you may have to spend $10 on a bottle (of ~60ml), which is 1000 x the price of the pen.
      If you had a $200/300 pen, then that wouldn't really matter.
      As someone said above, you could just get a few cheap cartridges from BG when you check out, or score some from eBay.

      • Hoolio on 08/11/2015 - 16:11

        Thanks mate

    • engineeringprof on 08/11/2015 - 17:14

      Consider checking out your local penshop and asking for their "inkbook"
      Will allow you to see a full range of colours (then buy online to save money). if you're using bottle ink you'll require a converter.
      TBH buying ink is by the jar is totally worth it, I use less than 1 jar a year I reckon … $10-15 over an entire year for pens is pretty reasonable.

      • Hoolio on 08/11/2015 - 21:18

        Hmm IC, what do you mean by converter? I thought you just suck up the ink with what came in the pen?

        • engineeringprof on 08/11/2015 - 21:26

          Yep it's like a syringe, not sure if this pen comes with one. I actually have gone down the Ozbargain route before of buying one set of cartridge inks then refilling them when needed using a fine syringe. Cheap converter.

        • Hoolio on 08/11/2015 - 22:20

    • fryandlaurie on 08/11/2015 - 17:02

      I believe only the tip is coated in Iridium.

    • cashless on 08/11/2015 - 20:14

      Iridium. Current spot rate US520 per (Troy) ounce.
      That's about AU$24 per gramme.
      So, even if the tip of the nib was coated with 1/100th of a gramme, that would still be $0.24 per pen, so BG would be losing cash big time.
      Pen nibs don't use Iridium these days, none of them.
      It's too expensive.
      "Iridium" is used as a fanciful description rather than in a factual sense.

    Thank-you

    • fryandlaurie on 20/11/2015 - 18:39

      The spring is inside the converter to prevent ink from clotting up. Sometimes they use small beads as well.

      That video is perfectly fine though.

      A cartridge is pre-filled and is one time use only that simply inserts into the pen whereas the converter is used to draw up ink from a bottle.

      This video is also good and easier to understand:

          See if you can return them in any way. You can get a whole bottle of ink from Officeworks for about $10:

  • jonathonsunshine on 20/11/2015 - 20:48

    And finally, to what extent do people trust a 2¢ pen not to leak ink everywhere?

    • fryandlaurie on 20/11/2015 - 21:29

      Hero is the oldest brand of fountain pen manufacturers in China so they can be mostly reliable. However, they do cut corners, and I believe the pen itself was only sold for 2c as a promo from Banggood and does not reflect the true price of the pen. It is now at least $4 on banggood and ebay.

      I suppose you can carry it around with only a little bit of ink at first to see how it goes. I have been carrying around various Chinese pens and have never had any leaking incidents. Though, I usually put it in a pouch, case or at the very least a separate compartment.

  • illz on 09/12/2015 - 11:45

    • Advv on 16/12/2015 - 01:41

      • illz on 16/12/2015 - 02:19

        Yeah push the cartridge in, you need to give it some force so the cartridge end cracks otherwise the ink can't flow.
