Fountain Vector, Black Pen, multicolor

Awesome. My kid expressed an interest in fountain pens after writing excessive notes for school. She wanted to write fast so had borrowed my old fountain pen. I bought her this as it was my first ever pen 40 years ago. It’s perfect! In fact I also bought one for myself. It’s smooth as I remember and can mold to your writing slant, unlike other expensive ones, which I find more difficult to adjust to my penmanship.

Good to see these Parker fountain pens have not changed over the decades. This was my go-to writing tool during the 80's and sort of dropped off my radar over the 90's and 2000's but finally picking up a reliable, memorable and comfortable writing pen. If you've never used a fountain pen - be aware if it drops on the nib then it's done and don't store with the nib facing down especially during hot weather.

The pen writes beautifully, good ink flow nice weight, I bought it to replace a 25 year old one which looked similar to this however this one says for sale ONLY in India/Nepal...the nib doesn't even have the Parker logo it's labelled Luxor I can't help but feel cheated.

I like fountain pens and I like the slimmer ones. But most of the common pens are girthy. So I really wanted to try this one out. I got it in medium nib. The pen writes smooth. I have it filled with Majestic Blue from Diamine. I love writing with it.

Smooth writing

This is a decent entry-level fountain pen, but it is a bit finicky with respect to ink. I use three types of Noodler's bulletproof ink and the only one that works well in this pen is the "Heart of Darkness". Otherwise, I find this pen is lightweight and reasonably comfortable to use for extended periods of time. It does not come with a cartridge converter and highly recommend getting one. The converter and pen combination is convenient, doesn't leak, and very easy to use.

I have used quite a few Parker fountain pens. Honestly this is the only one w/o smooth ink flow. Not recommended!
