Varsity Prefilled Fountain Pens

This fountain pen set writes so smoothly and the ink is rich and dark. But it doesn’t bored through. Big win! I’m impressed with the affordability. They’re disposable so I’ve already dumped them in my cart for the future.

Love ‘em. Just as good as ever. Still. Beautiful flow, vibrant ink and nibs that hold up. Best of all, no mess. You just throw them out when they’re spent. Great price and great quality.

unbelievable price. smooth writing. don't have to bother with refills. some ball points cost more.

I'm just experimenting with fountain pens and these seemed like a good entry to play with. They feel ok in hand and write pretty well. Colors are vivid and no blabbing or running. The point is wider than I was expecting, but not excessive for a medium point.

I wanted to get into fountain pens for a while, but didn't want to deal with ink pots and constant re-dipping, just as I was only interested in trying it out. These pens are AMAZING, super smooth flow. I love the vibrancy of the colors, and unlike a lesser brand I tried, they can hold up to my need to fiddle with something and not break and leak everywhere. I like them so much, I won't be going to an ink pot fountain pen setup as these are far better in my mind.

I bought this set after buying a single pen to try them out and they have replaced my Pilot G2 as my favorite pen. They write very smoothly, and the ink seems to last quite a long time, though it will depend on how fast you write as with a fountain pen a slower speed will use much more ink. The turquoise, pink, green, and red will dry/absorb faster than the black, blue, and purple, so they might be better for your informal writings. They are also very leak resistant, I won't say leak proof even though when stored vertically I've never had one leak, which is often a con for fountain pens. The only cons I can think of is that they are a tad shorter than a regular ball point pen, and they have a medium tip (Pilot says they make these in Fine point as well but I can't find them). Will these be as "good" as an expensive brand name fountain pen? That's like asking if the cheap black barrel multipack mechanical pencils will be as "good" as a high quality drafting mechanical pencil. Both will do the job, but where the expensive high quality options are for specialized tasks and for professional applications where a crisp top of the line finish is needed, these pens are for people who like the feel of a fountain pen, but will be using them for informal tasks such as jotting down notes, writing checks (which fountain pens are exceptional at, especially India Black which Pilot also makes and is listed on Amazon, because the ink embeds itself deep into the fibers and resists washing by thieves), doing homework, or other such tasks. Oh, and don't forget, since they are so inexpensive (the black ink versions are sold by the dozen here on Amazon for the same price you would pay for a ball point) if they do get lost, stolen (by a coworker), or broken, you're not out a lot of money. Pilot also makes a cartridge based refillable fountain pen as well which is a higher quality metal barrel and even a replaceable nib, but I would start off with one of these and work your way up.

The ink has good flow and good colors. It is a fountain pen so it does smudge, so try not to touch it for a few seconds after writing.

Great pens.

Diese Einweg-Füller von Pilot schreiben wunderbar weich. Die Stärle der Feder liegt zwischen f und m, denke ich. Die Farbvielfalt ist wunderbar und der Preis dazu ebenfalls großartig.

Just nicer to use than a ballpoint, and less worry about leaving pens on my desk at work. Very happy with them.

Excellent disposable fountain pen. Writes very smoothly with consistent ink flow and starts instantly every time. Lightweight, comfortable to hold, and surprisingly reliable for the price. Great for everyday writing.

Work as well as expected - used before. Disappointed about the P&P costs from US though

These write amazingly smooth for the price. The pens hold a decent amount of ink as well. Technically, they are disposable but you can refill them with a little bit of effort either by removing the nib and the housing or using a pvc tubing. The caps fit really well and they won't easily dry out as long as you close the caps.
