So maybe we shouldn't look at these as disposable FPs, but as prefilled eyedroppers instead?

I have two pens I give out regularly to people who don't already use fountain pens: Pilot Varsities and Jin Hao Sharks.  When I give out Sharks I also have to give cartridges, instructions, explanations about how one could use a variety of inks if one chose, whereas when I give out a Varsity I can tell the recipient to enjoy writing with it and that this is the pen used by French schoolchildren.  By the time the Varsity is out of ink either the recipient will move on the next disposable pen, or alternatively start exploring other non-disposable options.

Hear, hear!

 

The Clabby is a good  enough writer, and looks different enough from my other disposables such as Varsity and Zebra and Thornton, that it makes a nice change.
