Pilot Tank Non Self Filling Eye Dropper Fountain Pen Black

The Pilot Tank Non Self-Filling Eye Dropper Fountain Pen in black is a unique choice for fountain pen enthusiasts. Since it’s an eyedropper type, it doesn’t take cartridges, so you’ll need to use bottled ink and refill with a dropper. One thing to note: each time you refill, a few drops of ink (about three) may come out due to pressure buildup, but after that it settles and does not leak.

In terms of performance, it writes very smoothly and gives a pleasant writing experience. The black body paired with the gold cap makes it look elegant and classy. The body itself isn’t suitable for engraving, but I was able to engrave on the gold cap instead, which adds a nice personal touch.

Overall, it’s a stylish pen that works well once you get used to its eyedropper filling system. Best suited for those who don’t mind using bottled ink and want something different from the usual cartridge pens.

This is a pen that is worth the money you have paid for. It is not expensive and quite reliable. So far, I have not suffered from any leakages of any sort - haven't taken it up a plane yet though.

The pen is quite comfortable when one uses it for writing and is simple functional in nature. For that price, it is worth it. A good fountain pen to be considered for those starting to try out Pilot pens or for those who are considering it as their first purchase even.

always loves Pilot pens. Thank you!

I only bought for its ability to be an eyedropper and its gold coated nib (even if it's faux). Surprisingly, even if it's steel, writing feels softer than my fave Metropolitan. Great times writing with it, light on the hand, classic look.

You wont regret it.

I have several of these pens, also a couple in the other colours.

They are al very consistent, reliable writers. The nibs are very smooth, the Fine less so than the Medium, obviously.

Being Japanese nibs, the medium writes like a Western Fine and the Fine writes like a Western extra-fine.

I think this pen is one of the best pens you can find in this price range.

The only gripe I have with them is the foam sponge that is placed at the bottom of the pen's barrel. It helps keep inkflow consistent when using the pen as an eyedropper, but the pen can't fit a cartridge or converter unless you remove the foam. This is a very difficult thing to do.
