I review and talk about my Monami Olika fountain pen with fine nib. This is an incredibly smooth writer. It's a light weight cartridge only pen in the around $5 price range and comes in cool packaging with 3 cartridges.
Size capped: 5.4" / 13.8 cm
Size unposted: 5" / 12.6 cm
Size posted: 6.1" / 15.6 cm
Weight (total): 12 grams / 0.41 oz
This pen takes proprietary cartridges which sell 5 for the same price as the pen and 3 cartridges (on Jet Pens). But you can refill these easily with an ink syringe of course.
It is not eyedropper ready as it is because upon testing it you can feel air escaping the barrel. Cleaning can be an issue if you decide to change ink colors expect some frustration and long drying times. According to the Jet Pens website: "instead of a plastic feed, this pen uses a fiber wick to draw ink into the nib which makes cleaning ink difficult and time consuming to change colors". This is a lot like the Pilot Petit 1 pen and I get around that by sticking to a set color family with each of my pens.
The rubber grip is awesome! This pen comes in 10 colors and 2 nib sizes: Fine and Extra Fine. The packaging is cool and ready for gift giving - the snap cap closes very securely, the nib is smooth, the pen is beautiful and in my opinion this is an affordable fountain pen to have fun with.
