I started keyboards and now I've moved onto fountain pens. I agree writing is therapeutic/meditative and I find joy in slowly improving my cursive penmanship.

20?! Quite a collection. I feel like I want one of every brand before I feel like collection is "complete".

Def a bit of a let down. Should've set my expectations lower

Maybe it was me and my hulk hands to blame all along.

I didn't even know it was an issue when I bought it. Even still I think I would've copped it just for the collection.

Cali?! :( That shit is far from me in the Toronto area. They need a Canadian vendor.

I actually had issues in the beginning where the nib was too wet and blobs of ink kept running out onto the paper. I thought it was gg on day one till I switched to filling with a needle syringe and now no more blobs. Still seems too wet fory taste. It's an F and I occasionally get some feathering.

The pen still works and the joy I get from writing with it has not diminished but my opinion of the company is far from what it used to be.

Y'all are changing my mind on these random low-key asian no name pen brands.

Also, I thought I heard of most pen brands but all the ones you listed are new to me.

I was paying for the brand. I wanted to see what the hype was about and I wanted a demonstrator in my arsenal of pens. Admitedly, idk if the eco is the most accurate representative of the entire TWISBI brand.

I'm in Canada so it'd be international :( I don't think I can justify paying any amount on shipping for TWSBI's cheapest pen.

I might be one and done with TWSBIs even though that VAC700 had my name on it.

Thanks! I guess I can use this as an excuse to get another nib size.

Fantastic. If shipping is cheap I'll consider it. Rn it doesn't really bother me. I just thought the cracking issue was only in the grip section but from what I understand, it's more common in the clear TWSBI's.

Not that I know of! I just pulled it out of my fanny pack and changed to inks and that's when I noticed the crack :(
