  1. Click pens is brand name of Unique pen industries based in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, India. TORPEDO is one of the best starter fountain pens that I am reviewing today. A trusted pen for any student and is very well priced accordingly. This pen foresees the common problems of modern Indian fountain pens especially students that just have forayed into the fountain pens. Images i have attached are from my phone camera, it'll serve your purpose though. Its a casual review. Please do share your views. DESIGN 9/10 The Pen is torpedo shaped but it shall remind you of the legendary appearance of Sheaffer Imperial in looks. The steel colored cap and the solid colored barrel are all excellent finished. Click is engraved in the barrel and it doesn't harm your eyes. Its a simple, no nonsense pen that is a new option other than Camlin Trinity which has been for long in the market. Its a Catridge converter pen. BUILT AND CONSTRUCTION 8/10 The pen feels very light in hand and the cap can be posted, even then its weight is negligible. An Excellent pen for note taking or edc usage pen that you wont mind if its lost. This one, a user won't feel any issue with its construction and build quality. Its a acrylic moulded pen and is solidly built and its material is thick enough to bare rough handling. Being made out of acrylic material it does not attracts scratches and retains its shinning. The cap is metal based. Very light in terms of weight. BALANCE AND SIZE 10/10 A light yet solid and above all well balanced pen. The cap is light and the pen when capped is evenly balanced. NIB AND FEED 8/10 The good part about the nib is the tipping size and quality. Its excellent for its price. The nib is a no.5 size nib. The nib may look small but its well proportionate with the body. The feed is a plastic feed and doesn't burp. It's easily taken out and then fitted, hence no issues while cleaning. INK FILLING SYSTEM 8/10 The points less given is due to lack of clarity whether it can be used an eyedropper or not. As per seller information its a c/c filled pen, but the plastic barrel does hint that it can be eyedropper filled. The only issue is the metal ring in section barrel closing that may or may not result in ink corrosion. All in all, i liked the ease of use with both cartridge and converter. The pen comes with a slide up and down filling converter. It fills the ink easily in first go. Length of pen (closed) - 127mm Length of pen (open and unposted)- 115mm Length of Cap – 52mm CONCLUSION Its a small sized, well balanced pen paired with a good nib and C/C filling system @ an MSRP of Rupees 125. Approach ASA pens for this VFM money pen. Available in Solid Black, Maroon, Blue and White.
  2. The pen I am going to review today is from a relatively newly launched V'sign pens. Its based in Mumbai, India. This is going to be a casual review. DESIGN- FIORELLA is a small sized pen, suitable for people with both, small and medium hands. With a torpedo shaped barrel, the pen comes out to be a great looking pen, especially for its new design. For a starter or a budget constraint fountain pen users, this is a brilliant fountain pen in terms of looks and outer appearance. The aesthetics of the pen are too good. Material used is ABS acrylic and is DUCO painted. Its a solid pen and handles rough and tough use well. The cap is metal and the clip is spring loaded. The SECTION of the pen is the barrel itself, suitable to write with any gripping method. The barrel isn't slippery and is suitable for long writing hours. The trims are soft metal and don't create any problem while writing. The bottom metal part handles the balance well. BALANCE AND SIZE- At 110 mm uncapped, this is a small sized pen. Its an untiring experience while writing with the pen. The main highlight of the pen is the barrel being the section making it pocket friendly. CAP- 40 mm PEN UNCAPPED - 110 mm, with nib PEN CAPPED - 130 mm PEN POSTED WITH CAP- 145 mm SECTION/BARREL DIA - nearly 10 mm NIB- A half-round nib or a HR nib as it is known as is used in the Fiorella. The width is fine and is stainless steel finished. Its a toothy yet wet nib. Its not scratchy and you do get feedback but its somewhat like a Japanese fine would be. The feed is plastic feed, thicker and longer than the #5 nib feed used in most Chinese pens. Its a well balanced pen, small in size and the nib adding to its aesthetics. INK FILLING METHOD- Its a cartridge converter pen. No ed use possible. CONCLUSION- I really liked the pen for its price. Its better than my Parker vector in all terms, looks and writing pleasure. Its a good addition to the Indian Fp Scene and most users would agree to my review when they use this brilliant value for money pen.Limited branding, only on the cap makes it even better. The cigar colored fiorella i bought is a real beauty. It not only offers value for money but the writing pleasure is what makes its price astonishing. At Rupees 195 plus shipping, this pen is a must have pen those looking for everyday usage pen. This is my personal opinion about the pen and i am just a happy customer. Kindly forgive me for extra large sized images. Also giving no marks here because for me its a winner. Personal choices may vary.
