Most of my pens are vintage, but not all of them.

PenBBS makes some great and very affordable pens. I love the variety of plastics they use. That Smog plastic is a great twist on demonstrator pens! The white swirls remind me of the curling threads of smoke from a snuffed candle.

And they offer some interesting filling systems: I'm tempted to pick up a 489, which uses the Touchdown filling system originally invented by Sheaffer back in 1949.

The 308 is their basic model. It's a cartridge pen, but can be used as an eyedropper. Which is what I did with these.

I think my only beef is that all four pens I bought wrote very dry out of the box. They needed light tuning to increase the ink flow. But for the price, that's not bad at all.

I think I joined a cult, ma. Tiny book Bear is very happy among her book Bear friends, however, appearances to the contrary. #hobonichi #nockshots #PenBBS #fountainpenporn #planner #stationeryporn #stationeryaddict (at Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnjHh0hhuTc/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=slalv4lnuqup

Fountain pens are so enjoyably inky to draw with 🖤 one of my gripes with fineliners is that the nib eventually gets worn down and scratchy, so these might be the way forward
