I have four of these pens that I bought from JetPens and every one has cracked. The cracks radiate around the barrel starting at the threads. With judicious application of some light silicone grease, ink leakage is minimal. The scratchiness of the ballpoint smoothes out after a while. I found that by writing on paper such as stone paper, it helps smooth the pen faster. As disappointed as I am in these pens, I would not buy another one. I have had better luck with similarly designed $1 pens from Ebay.

Penbbs 350 is a fountain pen but comes with a rollerball nib unit and so far, I’ve used it more as a rollerball.

MarisalovescatsI have never heard of the Penbbs 350. Might have to grab one off Ebay as the price is good enough to chance a shoddy pen.

Disappointed with these pens. First off, they are too short to use without having the caps on. Weird design decision. Secondly, on all the paper I've tried the ink does not flow well and you often get dry scratches across the paper, not smooth ink. This is the limiting factor and what is causing me to reconsider ever using them.

Any fountain pen which uses standard international cartridges will work with this ink. For instance, the Nemosine Singularity or most fountain pens from Conklin or Monteverde. If you don't plan to use it in a fountain pen, I can recommend some places that you could post it as a giveaway for fountain pen users.

Toa5tNZI contacted an online retailer who stocks the pens and they were so kind and sent me detailed description of how to get the ink to flow. There were two steps, one of which was to soak the nib in water overnight (I think). Agree with oddly short pen body. But I love the inks - the colors and smaller quantity for frequent changeability. Would love to find more pens with which to use the inks.

This drop is for 3 pens and 3 ink sets so it comes out to $37.99 + $3.50 shipping = $41.49. JetPens is 3 x $8.75 for pens (26.25) + 3 x $5.50 for ink (16.50) + Free shipping = $42.75.

CopperchefThanks for the clarification! I misread it as one pen. Makes much more sense now!!

I ordered this the last time around, and the ink cartridges DID NOT LEAK, nor were there any problems with the items—everything was exactly as advertised. Two things to be aware of: the “feel” is not as slick as your conventional rollerball, as J Herbin’s ink is much thinner, so it will feel more like fountain pen ink. (Quite understandable.) Also, the writing angle is a bit higher than expected, above 45 degrees, in fact, about 30 degrees from vertical, or the pen will feel somewhat scratchy. And if you feel you need to cancel, don‘t panic, just go into transactions, and cancel before the drop completes. But don’t do it because somebody’s ink cartridges leaked. That’s silly. Massdrop stands behind their shipments, and if there’s a problem, they’ll take care of it.

lammattYou can get the pen for just shy of $11 on Amazon with prime shipping. So the three ink cans here would come out to a total of $7. That's a crazy good deal. Unfortunately I hate "inkrollers"; never could find a reason for them either. You want a rollerball? Gel and oil suit them better. You want ink? Nibs work much better.

It sure is taking many days ....more than my anticipation.
Please make it fast.
This is my first purchase at mass drop and surely it had already been delayed far more days than what it was supposs d to be.

ApurvagI learned from my first mass drop experience not to expect the super quick delivery we get elsewhere; but I'm always happy with the product when I receive it. The occasional exercise in patience is, for me, a good thing in our instant gratification world.

I received this set yesterday and the ink cartridges all leaked, it's as if they were already punctured. It was a real mess when I opened the package....my hands are still stained. I have purchased quite a few pens/notebooks from Massdrop and have very happy with all purchases with the exception of this one.

meswarts59Yikes, sorry to hear this! By chance do you live in a colder area? I know we've been seeing inks freeze while in transit to colder winter destinations, which pops out the little cartridge seals...
Regardless, please reach out to our Community Support team through your transactions page if you haven't already, so we can help you out.

These pens are kinda terrible. They’re J.Herbin and yet they work terribly with J.Herbin inks! Haven’t tried a more lubricating ink yet though. So far it’s not smooth and it’s not consistent.

100% disappointed with these pens. They are too light, the caps do NOT stay posted, the nibs are scratchy and the flow is not consistent.

I've had these pens for over 6-8 months and they work just fine, no cracks or leaks. I will agree the Herbin cartridges do run dry and I've just switched ink and have no problems. I haven't even applied anything to the seal/gasket yet that's how well they have worked. no complaints (other than they are a bit pricey for a rollerball, but if you like custom colored ink in your rollerball... these are for you.

Get penbbs 350 fountain pen comes roller ball also . The roller ball works.9 week no problems .

I have ordered these pens twice through mass drop in the past and all six have failed me. They have either cracked or they begin to leak at the tip where the black rollerball portion exits the clear body. I did enjoy them while I have them and the do have a steep writing angle. All in all I would not recommend these pens.
