TWSBI GO

I have tons of piston fillers that look kind of like that so I don't need another. Than a TWSBI Go came up on sale and, well, just this once. Works like advertised and writes great.

I was very excited to buy a TWSBI GO. My first purchase was great untill i began writing. The nib had an initial dry wrting every time I lifted the pen and then placed it on paper. I then sent the pen to TWSBI and they tested it and told me that nothing was wrong. I was still having issues so I retu...

I’ll say it, it gets a lot of crap, but the TWSBI Go. I got it for a friend who’s a sterile lab technician and needed a cheap fountain pen that she could spray and/or wipe with chlorhexidine and q.ammonium disinfectants before taking them into the lab. I was going to let her ink it up first but ITS JUST SITTING HERE ALL UNLOVED AND UNINKED… so I inked it with some Birmingham Copper Chloride, and wrote a bit with it. The F nib was a true F, was shockingly smooth for the price (even for double the price), the flow was perfect, and it handled remarkably well in-hand.

The writing is scratchy and not very smooth, making it less likely that I will pick this up instead of a good ball point pen.

Change inks.

I have [Iroshizuku Yama-Budo](https://imgur.com/a/IMHzzWa) in my TWSBI GO 1.1 stub and loving it. Such a great writing experience.

I heard Sailor inks are more “drier”, but I can’t say for certain since I’ve never used them.

TL;DR: The TWSBI Go runs slightly drier than the TWSBI Eco; therefore, the F on a TWSBI Go writes similarly to a TWSBI Eco EF. I am an advent TWSBi user. I owned multiple TWSBI Ecos, 580ALs, 580Al, VAC700R, and 580s. After hearing the TWSBI Eco and TWSBI Go will be sharing the same feed and nib, I h...

My workhorse right now is a TWSBI Go with the most boring black ink ever in it but it’s such a joy to write with IDEC. $20 well spent.

Very pleasantly surprised. I ordered a few of these in Ef because I need a few pens finer than my TWSBI Ecos to use on cheaper paper for school. It's definitely not as attractive a pen as the eco by a long shot, but honestly I find it more comfortable to write with.

I also have 2 of the Go and a Vac700R. All of my TWSBI have worked well from the first filling, and don’t think I have a smoother pen than the M and B nibs in them. For the last year and a half, I have had at least 2 TWSBI pens inked at all times.

It writes smoothly. I like the pen. But it's thicker than other pens. If you have small hands, or used to slim pens, this pen is not for you probably.
