I carry several metros, but the workhorse ink I use is Noodle's Heart of Darkness, Haven't had too much issue with it. I also use Diamine shimmering ink for when I want some whimsy

The ink you link to is India ink, and will clog your fountain pens. Stay away from it, and all other inks that are not marked for use in fountain pens.

Now, to have a good cheap ink Hero Ink is available in 4 colors, and pretty cheap, Parker Quink is a little more, but still cheap, then there is Noodler's Heart of Darkness which is also very well priced, and you get a pen when you buy the 4.5oz bottles, and a bunch of the colors can be had in the 4.5oz (130+ml) bottles.

Hi there! Welcome to /r/fountainpens! As a FP newbie myself, I hope I might be able to lend a little helpful advice on your search for a first pen. :)

Jinhao pens, I think most people would agree, are fair performers, and their costs at pennies on the dollar are quite attractive. A piece of advice, though: if you don't mind waiting for a Jinhao pen to be shipped from Asia, try eBay. You can almost always find their pens for a third of the cost as a US-based retailer, if not less. Here's the 159 for $4.50, for example.

Interestingly, many other Jinhao pens are also available on eBay for even less than this one. There's the 156 for $3, the 750 stainless for $3, and the X450 for $1.50, among many others.

Of course, any Jinhao pen you buy will not come with ink. You'll need ink to write anything with any pen! If you're after black ink, you could buy the Noodler's Heart of Darkness bundle, which is a bulletproof ink (which means it has properties that make it difficult or impossible to alter after it's dried on paper) that comes with a decent pen.

The Pilot Metropolitan deserves a nod here, too. It's a heavy pen (as it's made of metal), but some people love that premium feel at this price range. $13 shipped. If you don't like the zigzag pattern on the grip, Parker makes other models. Just search Amazon for the Pilot Metropolitan.

You might also consider the Parker Urban kit from Parker. $40 is a bit steep compared to the Jinhao and Noodler's kit, but it comes with everything you need all in one package. Some people don't much care for the Urban because it uses a proprietary converter mechanism (for filling the pen), but bah, humbug. It's a solid performer and is still easy to fill, even if it does fill differently from other pens.

I'll echo some general advice I've seen on these forums: Lamy pens aren't bad, but they tend to be overpriced. You'll run into lots of Lamy models if you do an Amazon search and filter by average review rating. They are highly reviewed pens. It's worth checking them out if you get more interested in fountain pens, but for starting out I'd recommend one of the units above.

Lastly, if you're feeling luxurious, you might be interested in the Massdrop sale on the Conklin Stylograph Mosaic. This little guy is $55--way more than the $12 Jinhao you started with--but it's also in a different kind of class, more a collector's item or a nice pen than simply a serviceable one. That $55 price tag expires today, and the regular price is closer to $100. I'd recommend a different pen for starting simply because this one is more expensive, but I also thought I'd let you know just in case because the deal is gone after today. :) There's no referral on that link. If anyone would like to help me with Massdrop referrals, my referral link is below.

The world of fountain pens is big, and I'm just getting my feet wet myself. I hope you find the tips here useful. :)

Hm... the pilot CON-20 converter thing it comes with should give you enough to last through at least a day... Per haps the next purchase you should get is this:

You get ink and an eyedropper pen which will be able to store a lot more ink. Or you can get the blue too:

This ink and the pen that comes with it.

I've purchased more expensive fountain pens and I prefer this one to them. There is enough ink in this bottle to last me forever.

u/misplacedhippie · 2 pointsr/fountainpens

I bought this and it says it comes with a pen... some stuff states it comes with a "charlie" and others states it comes with a "preppy". well the preppy comes with a rollerball nib that gets stuck in it during shipping... I got both. No complaints, but I also cant find the rollerball nib. I shined a flashlight up in there and nothing, so I am guessing I am good to fill with ink?

first pens i have ever had that didn't need cartridges. so just slightly nervous about screwing them up.

u/celticchrys · 2 pointsr/fountainpens

"Eyedropper" type pens, where you fill the entire barrel of the pen with ink, instead of a cartridge, are called an eyedropper pen, because the diameter of the barrel, being larger than a tiny cartridge, is easier to fill up with an eyedropper. I do have Noodler's Heart of Darkness ink in the larger bottle with the eyedropper, which came with an included free eyedropper pen. Like this:

Here you go. Wow, that's pretty expensive compared to the US. For us it is $24 for you, it is £26. That would be $38 after currency conversion. It is an amazing ink, though. It makes nibs glide across the paper like you are writing with oil.
