Now I understand what all the fuss is about.

It seems that every time someone mentioned Pelikan pens, there was an out pouring of enthusiasm from owners about how wonderful every aspect of these pens are. I figured this looked like a good "entry level" Pelikan, and the color is very much to my liking, so being a fan of piston pens in general, there was nothing for it - I had to try it, and I'm glad I did. Now I can join in the out pouring of love for these wonderful pens.

My first Pekikin

This pen is my first Pelikin. I have several Pilot pens that I love, and I wanted my next pen to be a different brand. This pen was on sale. I wasn't sure what to expect. Well, I was pleasantly surprised! The pen is beautiful and the fine point nib writes so smoothly. This is one of my favorite pens, and I will be adding more Pelikins to my collection.

I've had this pen for about two weeks now. I love writing with it! The other fountain pens I own are Kawecos, and a Sheaffer I bought a million years ago (I was in high school!) This Pelikan is the most comfortable, I think. The material feels durable and pleasing to touch, and it's nice and light�I can write for a long time without getting tired holding it (not all my pens have this quality). I got the fine nib, and it's a little bit thicker than I would have preferred, but that's not a big deal. I really like the color of the pen. It's more of an emerald green than how the product shot looks on my monitor. Overall, really happy with it!

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I fill a fountain pen with ink? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

It depends on the pen's filling mechanism, which you can find in the Technical Specs section above. 

Here's a quick definition of the most common filling mechanisms:

  • Cartridge - A small, disposable, sealed plastic reservoir that holds fountain pen ink. These come pre-filled with ink, and typically you just push to insert them into place and you'll be ready to write! Check out our quick guide here.
  • Converter - A detachable and refillable ink reservoir that allows you to use bottled ink in a cartridge-accepting pen. Typically you will install the converter into the grip section, dip the nib/feed into the ink, and twist or pull the converter knob to draw ink into the converter. Here's a video for how to fill a cartridge/converter pen using a LAMY pen as an example.
  • Eyedropper - A pen that utilizes the entire barrel as a reservoir for ink. Ink is directly filled into the barrel, allowing for a high ink capacity. Here's a video on how to do it!
  • Piston - A type of filling system that uses a retracting plunger inside a sealed tube to draw ink into a pen. They are typically either twist or push-operated. These pens cannot accept cartridges or a converter, and only fill from bottled ink.
  • Vacuum - A push-style piston that uses pressure to fill the large pen body with ink. They seal the ink chamber when closed, making it ideal for flying without risk of leaking. Check out our video on how to use a vac filler here.

Check out more info on these filling mechanisms including a video on how to fill each one on our blog.

How do I clean this fountain pen? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

It mostly comes down to flushing out the pen with water, and sometimes a little bit of pen flush if the ink is really stuck. 

We put together a blog post with step-by-step instructions, or you can watch the video here:

We recommend a good cleaning every 2 weeks, and any time you change ink colors. Water will usually do the trick, but we recommend you use our Goulet Pen Flush if the ink has been left in the pen for a while and could have dried up, or when you’re switching ink colors.

For even more information about fountain pen cleaning, check out our Fountain Pen 101 video blog post.
