Have used penomatic( normal one) for nearly 6 years. Got it for 70 back then. still writes and the smoothness increased a lot with time. Though it's converter is failing now. Not writing so well now but did way better than I expected for it's price.
yup I use the same technique. I use Bril Ink with Dispo van syringe to fill all my fountains. It's not too hard Imo. Just needs a clean area with tissue papers handy.
Camlin and Parker pens are good for fountain ones. Kids like cello ones as they are fancy looking. Refillable ones are better. You just need ink pot and you can use different color inks with the same pens.
Today I bought a pirre cardin panometic fountain and I liked it so much bcoz it is very good built , smooth . looks uniqe and primium under 100 which is very nice thing for students 😘
It was my first fountain pen ever, it has been 12 years and though I own pens of Parker, pilot, mont blanc, lamy, and Innumerous high end pens, I still write with it. 😌
@@spandandutta2485 So nice to know 😊 My case is similar as well (though I don't have a Mont blanc yet but rest are there 😅) My first Fountain pen was 'Montex student'. I don't find it these days but I still use 'Camlin 47' which is also one of the first Fountain pens I have used. It's been almost 9 years now that I have been introduced to Fountain pens 😊🖋.
I haven't been able to use Camlin mini yet but the best cheap pen that I ever used was a pelican pen for 15 rupees and that was smoother than Parker pens and even Sheaffer.
Being an 'old timer', I'm still very fond of eyedropper fountain pens. They remind me of my high school days in the 1980s. On my recent trip to India, I visited the Deccan Pen Store in Hyderabad and bought one of their home made acrylic eyedroppers. It cost me INR 1600, but looks great and writes beautifully. Any good eyedropper pens that you can recommend? I don't like the Wality and Airmail ones which cost around INR 200. Does Camlin still make them?
Since you mentioned buying a pen for INR.1600 you can perhaps try the Moonman Wancai pen.... Its eyedropper.... Have personally used it and loved it.... Costs about INR 1800..... Have a look!!!
@@kaushikdas6142 Thanks for the recommendation. Is it one of those small pocket pens, that is difficult to write with without posting the cap on the barrel?
One small thing , its actually pretty easy to refill cartridges as well, you just clean them first and then use a blunt syringe or small dropper to refill them, then put them back in the pen. Infact its possible to refill them like 4-6 times (or more) before the plastic seal becomes loose. (Depends on the brand ofcourse, some sturdy cartridges can be filled more times). Infact refilling cartridges is a common practice among fountain pen users as you generally get more ink capacity than converters. (And some pens dont have good converters, like the kaweko sport)
@@FireWalker so far all pens I've used come with decent converters, so i just use them. In inks i use - pilot blue, pilot black, waterman purple, and Parker quink blue (with a drop of vim liquid) . Pilot and waterman inks are great, (pilot is water resistant aswell), quink blue writes ok but it has very noticeable fading problem, not recommended. Camlin inks are bad. They've become worse apparently since they started coming in plastic bottles. In the same price range, Bril royal blue is better, costs ₹25 per bottle.
Btw even I am using the Pilot blue ink for daily notetaking in class, it is a great ink. Does not fade with time like quink and also very water resistant.
Strongly disagree. For normal people it can be like beating head to the walls. As pilot does not goes well with all nibs and papers but the fp enthusiasts do enjoy pilot. I guess you are a fountain pen collector so you can understand this .
@@biharijivandana6894 what ? It a simple, well flowing ink that does not have tendency to clog the pen. I have written with it on both local unbranded notebooks, and classmate notebooks, without problems. It does not have any strong tendecy to feather or showthrough. At ₹300, there aren't many competitors to it that are as readily available.
@@avinashprasad2535 i did not say it clogs. Read my cmnt again. My 78g was not doing good with pilot blue it was feathering. My many pens were feathering so pilot was mood swinger for me. So i felt for Sailor and Private reserve Dc blue. Very dark i feel a best one to fight noodlers but not waterproof though Namiki and pilot blue are they both same ink ? Or just packing
@@biharijivandana6894 not sure about namiki and pilot inks being same or not. But pilot blue doesn't feather in classmate pulse and papercraft notebooks, atleast it hasn't for me, with fine nibs on pens like kanwrite relik, jinaho 911, and parker vector. Maybe you use broader nibs or very wet pens ? Since classmate is pretty much the most used notebook by students so i said that its good choice for students -- Because i use it myself daily during classes to take notes in botany, zoology and inorganic chemistry
@@avinashprasad2535 78g is wet and medium. Ya i use wet nibs. In 2020 i used both side plain notebook of classmates so it turned me off so did not try pulse. Paperkraft i have but did not gave a try. What are some dry nibs except those Chinese please suggest. My ink is still resting in sleep
I am a huge fan of fountain pens, and am looking inks that are water proof... Can you please do a comparison of the most commonly available ink brands in India, like bril, pilot, Parker quink, camelin, or any other brands you may know of.... It would be really helpful if you could tell us which inks are truly water proof
Fortunately, I have same question as you have. But unfortunately there is no ink in the market which is waterproof, and you can put in pen and not use for long time. Within two to three days it will clog your pen by drying out. I hope this guy proves me wrong..
@@kirannikam4695 yes dear they are difficult to find but there are quite a few inks from a brand called noodlers which manufactures some highly water resistant inks but they are very very costly in India making them a poor choice for our market 😄
@@StudentYard compared to my Reynolds flymo i felt the grip was very good due to the ridges. Definitely much better in terms of smoothness and overall handwriting. However the plastic quality can be improved. It's pretty thin.
Another thind i would like to mention is that some of the pen you recomended are having feed with some fibourous meterial for ink flow (just like sketch pen tips), problem with those fees are that they are very hard to clean fully so if you are thinking to change ink color in that pen, submerge the feed part in water for atleast several hours. You can clean other pens very easily.
Hi sir your all videos are awesome and very informative and everything is excellent except duration of video, I suggest you that you can set a target of suppose that every video should be about 15-20 mins or less depending on what product you are reviewing like you can make 2 separate videos for cartridges pens and converter pens (so that people those who want to know about cartridges pens can watch that specific video) otherwise everything is great.
Thanks for the suggestion dear but the urge to bring out every possible detail of the product in the video stretches the video. But I’ll try to bring short videos soon.
Guys I have used parker beta standard for 3 years and let me tell you is amazing. Have also used beta neo but it isn't nearly as good so if you can get your hands on beta standard then go for it
Sir I am having a issue with highlighter when I use it in my ncert Book i see ink bleed please tell it's solution i use normal Faber Castell highlighter
One more pen under ₹130 is 'Camlin 47', it's a very very good pen. It has an ebonite feed plus it is a piston filler with an ink window and a smooth fine nib.
@@StudentYard Yes, that's a problem with Camlin Fountain pens. Not all Camlin Fountain pens (even if they are of the same model) are same in quality, some are really good, some are not even upto the mark.
@@avinashprasad2535 Which is the best fountain pen for a beginner (With fine or medium nib) ? I don’t like scratchy nibs. I use Camlin Premio unruled notebooks (64 G.S.M) for note making.
@@iamwhatiam5091 Depends on your budget tbh. If you can spare around rs350, Click aristocrat is pretty good. Otherwise studentyard has made lots of videos covering fountain pens at different price ranges, check them out....
flair ke pens me no ocnverter ka size bada dikhta hai lekin capacity same rehti hai baaki pens jitni. kyuki corkscrew mechanism thoda jyada space leta isliye size bada karna padta hai. lekin baaki pens me jo pull piston wala mechanism hota hai usme chhota size bhi utni hi capacity deta hai.
Very good review sir I am planning to buy the parker beta neo, it looks really cool, sir please review frixion highlighters as well and mechanical pencil under 60 rs part 2
Nowadays, the push and pull converters are mostly defective from the very new. They are loose so the ink leaks. The twist style converters are much better but not many pens make such convertors.
Again speaking from experience Parker beta Neo fountain pen I've used this pen for more than a year now The nib becomes scratchy after a while But some might prefer the feedback the nib gives The pen clogs if left unused for around a month, maybe because of the ink So try not to use the Camlin fountain pen ink Go for Parker quink or better inks The cap of the pen has become totally loose after a year Rest everything is good I had got this pen for around ₹90 in Amazon sale So worth the purchase
@@Dr_Vtach nah. Or may be as black quink i know Its a beautiful clogger best clogger for Japanese pens . I feel new parker are really really bad. I was in search for beta neo since 2021 starting but now i had stopped searching it because i was so excited to buy neo but as i was not able to find it many time my enthusiasm got faded away. I guess its design is similar to aster nib right? And r u a collector right? Because clogged term is used by enthusiasts only i guess
@@biharijivandana6894 i won't call myself a collector More of an enthusiast for Fountain pens I've been using flair inky and parker Neo for over 2 years now and Pierre Cardin penomatic for just over 10 days Still looking for that sweet spot to start my journey in actual value for money entry level fountain pens Looking at Platinum Preppy, Click Aristocrat and some others in the similar price bracket Got any suggestions?
@@Dr_Vtach you are already in. And agree enthusiasm is more beautiful. I am a student and has been using the names what you told and was into them since 2009 and bought a sailor first time in 2019 but that too a basic version. You said neo for 2 years? Really? I guess it was launched last year or even before please do correct me .
Speaking from experience Pierre Cardin penomatic writes extremely smooth You feel it's every penny worth for the ₹70 you've spent But only for 3-4 days After that it performs pathetic and I'll repeat PATHETIC The grip is too slippery If your fingers sweat while you write, this pen will worsen your handwriting I've been using this pen since a little over a week now For first 3 days it was the smoothest experience But now it writes a little scratchy, the grip is slippery, I've noticed frequent breaks in writing strokes, the ink flow is not that good In short DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT BUY PIERRE CARDIN PENOMATIC
The Pilot V pen is a very smooth pen but there are many cons in it like it's ink gets finished very quickly I brought it like 4 days ago and the ink tank is now about to get over.(I write a LOT definitely more than average). It's is also very water soluble. It is non refillable but you can fill it by removing the nib and feed. To be honest this pen is a 7.8/10...You should buy it if you want a dark ink and a super smooth experience...you should not buy it if u want a hassle free pen....I hope this helps
@lifeline medical You should buy Cello Fountain or the Flair Inky Classic as they are hassle free and cheap but If you can raise your price bar then you should buy Camlin Trinity or Pierre Cardin Micra... TIP:(If the cartridges of any fountain pen get over Do not throw them you can fill ink in them with a syringe. You can buy an ink pot for 15 Rupees from Pilot)...Bro I would love to be your friend 😆😆😆
But bro I don't use cheap pens my cheapest pen is around 980rs and I use parker or camlin ink I know it have very bad reviews but do you prefer camlin ink?
@lifeline medical Bro if your budget is so high you should definitely buy the Pilot Metropolitan or the Lamy Safari...If you ask me then I will prefer pilot or parker ink more than camlin ink
Buddy don't write with fountain pen in exams. I have tried writing with all nibs of fountain pen either they are scratchy or the ink bleeds through the paper
@@Rajat-Gupta it will depend from person to person I prefer .7mm ball pens as of now I am using pentonic -vrt retractable ink flow is good but the downside is that ink doesn't last (max 4 to 5 pages )
Dada main 1 fountain pen purchase karna chata hoon... Main do pen choice kiya 1st pen pierre cardin momento (rs. 150) & 2nd pen parkar beta neo ct {rs. 130}... dada mera priority hain smoothness (ekdum super smooth hona chahiye), bleed nehin hona chahiye, aur stroke thick na ho medium ho.... Apka video main dekha mujhe parkar aur pierre cardin bohot accha laga, lekin mujhe pierre cardin ka penometic nehi mil raha lekin pierre cardin ka memento mil raha hain.. Dada main konsa purchase karoon parkar beta neo or pierre cardin memento...??? Batana zaroor dada....
I read your verdict and choosen cello Only concern is ink quality is not good as after 15 days writing becoming almost light blue and difficult to read. Adding my observation
Parker NEO will dry in just 3 hours if you don't use it it is terrible, you have to wack it or scribe a lot of lines to get it working again After watching this video, I realized parker is the best in this price
you present very nicely but missing some very basic things to mention viz. made from which country, performance, durability, material, nibs material etc.
Pilot V pen is the best one and you could refill it there is a how to videos to do that it writes better than some of best expensive fountain pens in the world very smooth accept any type of ink no feed back unless you are writing on a hrash paper never to dry on you or do hard starting with a consistent type of writing. Flair metalic is good but the nib is of a fine type that gives some feed back with other inks but Flair included ink is very smooth but it fades like ghost in one day 🤣 like it was written 3 years ago it doesn't hold color accurately .
My first fountain pen was Hero I had 3boxes of it from Saudi.Bro I was using parker from 5th standard Parker ,used several pens many parker pens are signature pens, the quality was higher in past but after that the quality reduced. My cupboard was filled with parker jotter refills and roller ball the new refills of jotter got leaks and roller balls also leaked in cupboard. Also writing experience is also not good the nibs get dipreciation easily. I felt flair inkpens much better than parker.
Yes you can but for daily use I would recommend using gel and rollerballs , but yes if you invest a bit more in fountain pens the experience can be overwhelming.
Plz make vedio on inks quality, bcz I used camlin ink ,it's cheaper,but later turn very light and very almost washed off over the days, plz advice which ink is best and under budget
I agree for such a cheap pen Pierrre Cardin Micra has a very smooth nib i am obsessed with it..i use the cartridges with quink parker ink that i refill with a syringe try that.
I have flair inky gp and flair ink tanker but mai abhi bas ink tanker he use kar raha hu kyuki metal gp bohot premium mai mai usko kharab nahi karna chahta
