I really like the twsbi swipe its one of my favorite fountain pens super easy to clean out hand disassembleable easy peasy the Platinum preppy not so easy to clean out those fins inside the section they sometimes bleed into other inks so thats disappointing I love the pilot kakuno my favorite is the translucent green its really nice and those are easy to clean out too :)
Oh, yeah! I have a few Swipes. Cleaned one out yesterday. Took about 30 seconds. Crazy. I just wish they came in more colors. They’re not as popular as the other models, but people are missing out. Thanks for watching!
In India we have Cello pens better writing than Platinum preppy for 50Rupees. While platinum preppy cheap pen with similar controlled flow ink mechanism is available for 500plus ruspees. Kakuno is available here for 1000rupees plus while better pens like click aristocrat is available starting 350rupees , can get half ebonyte or full acrylic for 700rupees.
Oh, I would love to try a Cello fountain pen! I have a large collection of Indian fountain pens. Most recently, I added a couple Kanwrite pens, and I have another Ranga on the way. Thank you for watching!
@pensane Sir I can suggest you Hauser Germany Grip it, Flair Ink Tanker,Cello Fountain,Hauser Cyber . These are so cheap and are best value for money fountain pen. Its made of Plastics but worth than premium fountain pens.
My suggestions: Flair Ink Tanker, Cello Fountain, Hauser Germany Grip it,Hauser Cyber. Cool fountain pen these are wonders. Have similar controlled flow ink system of Platinum preppy and Grip it looks similar to Lamy Safari. You would get 3 free cartridges and converter with these pens and flair ink tanker would get extra ink tank.
I have had about 10 Preppy’s and have found ones that I haven’t touched in a few years and they write off the bat every single time. I’ve never had a Preppy have a hard start, except for one 02 (which is horribly scratchy and probably has a bad nib.) I think the Kakuno is really cute and love the smiley face, and I like the larger diameter grip, but anything with a tripod grip on it is a hard NO for me. I have a Pilot Prera (which uses the same nib as the Kakuno minus the smiley face, bummer) and it is a wonderful pen with a butter smooth 1.0 CM nib (Prera’s, Metropolitans and Kakunos all use the same nib, I believe) but obviously, a 1.0 CM isn’t the same as an F. However, I’d try smoothing that nib out. You could try a different ink with the Preppy (just eyedropper it, I use them for that a lot…something the Kakuno can’t do) and see if it works better, cause they’re known for being able to sit around forever and still flow smoothly with no hard starts. Another good comparison might be the Kakuno vs the Kaweco Perkeo, both are similarly priced and made for (originally at least) school kids.
I think if I had ability to export Indian Brand fountain pen to Europe and USA it would be a win. People would be happy thinking how could they get these pens for this price range.
Honestly, for the price, you can get Chinese pens that are much better than either of these. But I like to try-and collect-all types of fountain pens. That’s probably why I have over 200 pens. Thank you so much for watching!

Thanks for the recommendations! I’ll definitely have to check those out.

Funny thing is I didn’t use it for over a week, and today it started right up and wrote beautifully! Go figure. Thanks for watching.

I was dissapointed with a Preppy I bought. Never owned a Kakuno just yet.

@@pensane Do you have a Wingsung 3024? Impressive little pen.
I don’t. Sounds like the TWSBI Swipe. I’ll have to check that out.
