TWSBI GO Fountain Pen - Clear
The TWSBI GO is the most affordable TWSBI fountain pen yet! A unique feature of this model is the spring loaded piston. This resin pen has a clear body and clear grip section, so you can see your ink and the spring piston mechanism at work, and has a clipless push/snap cap. It is completed with a silver stainless steel nib.
It is incredibly easy to fill this pen from bottled ink - simply unscrew the barrel to access the plunger, submerge the pen’s nib down into the ink, press down on the piston to compress the spring, and it will fill the barrel with ink! Screw the barrel back on and you’re ready to write.

Customer Reviews
Ive inked this pen up with 2 inks Diamine Sailors Warning and Night Sky. Sailor's Warning clogs the pen and Night Sky will flow straight out of it. I've also put Night Sky in a Lamy Safari and it does not leak.
Unfortunately I received this pen in January and stuck it on a drawer for a few months before using it. The nib is scratchy and won’t write more than two letters at a time before slipping. Since it’s past the return window I’ll just be throwing it away. I won’t order from this pen company again.
Awesome pen, better than the TWSBI Eco imo, for a few reasons. I like the weight/build of this one better, plus it's a lot easier/quicker to fill than the Eco. Sure, it's made out of a different plastic and isn't as pretty, but this thing feels AMAZING! Super awesome for the price. The 1.1 mm stub is awesome for drawing, it gives you a lot of line variation.
I am still new to the fountain pen world and this is my first TWSBI. I got the clear version because I wanted to see all the stuff inside. This one has the extra fine nib because I am looking for a daily writer for my planner and needed to write a little on the smaller side. For this, it works perfectly with the Diamine Polar Glow that I also purchased. The first thing you need to know is DO NOT plan on using the sample bottles to test or load this pen! It's simply too wide to fit into the typical sample sized bottles. Luckily I had bought the 50ml bottle of the Polar Glow, so I didn't have to find another way to fill it. This same width, along with the absence of a pocket clip will prevent it from being carried in a pocket. So far, that's about the only cons I have about this pen. It writes great. The cap snaps on and off easily and will post. It seems that the cap seals well enough to keep the nib from drying out fast, even after not being used for a week. So far I like it. But if you are still buying lots of samples to find out which inks you like the best, I think the Noodlers's flex might be a little better since it can be filled from the sample bottles.
This is my first TWSBI and I like it very much BUT it is one pen that is hard to try samples from. Easy to fill with the spring contraption it uses but I don't like that you can't clean it very well as you can't really take it apart to clean the feed. Another little thing is that it skips sometimes and I still can't figure out why. Have had this pen for almost a 6 months and still skips from time to time. Very smooth when writing and comfortable in the hand.
