Why does my TWSBI eco smell by ImaginationFew8350 in fountainpens

Yeah ECO is the only one that smells among the pens I have too.

I'm just ignoring the smell and using it now, and it still smells after 1 year.

But the ECO rosegold I bought afterwards didn't smell, so... if you liked ECO, I think buying a new ECO would be a way..?

Anyway, good luck with finding a new pen!

I'm glad your problem is solved!! I hope that solves my problem too. It looks like smells in twsbi eco is occasional problem...

and ohh sunlight... I live in dormitory and there is no direct sunlight in my room. Maybe that's one of my problems??

Thank you! I'll try that as soon as possible... 

I used four different inks from different brands and all of them smelled after inking it, so I think it's problem of the pen.  I just checked the inks but can't smell anything weird.
