We know you can use fountain pen ink in a rollerball ( • Can You Put Fountain P... ) but what rollerballs are sold with refillable, fountain pen-like ink systems? These are rollerballs with conical writing tips, but that use fountain pen cartridges or refillable ink systems. This is an odd type of pen as it has to suffer through the challenges of a fountain pen and rollerball, but it's still a lot of fun and, if done well, can be one of the most practical ways to take advantage of great fountain pen ink.

You write like a doctor 😝
in my opinion the Pilot Hi-Tecpoint v5 (gives a line width of 0.3mm) is not only a great writer but doubles up as a really nice drawing implement; i've not had it long, and someone mentioned that the nib will degrade after half a dozen cartridges but even so, i love it
I've been using mine since like 8 months and the nib does get a lil noisy but other than that it's still writes just as good l.. iv been looking for another cartridge roller ball pen but i can't seem to find any better than the v5
The Pilot hi tech point can use normal fountain pen. I tried. I refilled it with normal fountain pen ink. Writes smoothly.
Pilot does have the non-refillable v5/v7 in Japan. They are just called the hi-tecpoint, and they are the exact same pen as the precise v5/v7 in the US.
Yes, they have to have "CARDRIDGE SYSTEM" printed bellow to have cardridge.
Pilot cartridge system rollerball works with fp ink
Really?
wish they made a metal version of hi tech point with replaceable nib as they start wearing down after 6th cartridge
Hey sal, check out the “schneider one change” rollerball pen, i think you will be surprised. I think its my favorite pen ever! And this is coming from a person who owns 70+ pen collection from all types ballpoint,gel, rollerball,fp ( acro 1000, pentel philography, parkers, lamys, zebras, uniball, pilot hi tec refillable ... i find my self reaching for that pen specifically despite having a big of options to choose. As much as i learned of you from following your channel, you well love that pen. When you change the ink cartridge you get a new fresh head, cuz its a part of the cartridge!
@@unsharpen I think i might have gotten lucky since all my refillable rollerballs were really solid. Herbin, Schneider Ray and Stabilo beCrazy. Somewhere between 6-9€.
In my country pilot hi-techv5/v7 is available for 0.75 dollars
And it's my favourite
I have 2 questions sir,
1)Can I use "Parker quink" ink in cartage of pilot hi-techv5 pen
2) The ink has come to the area of pen where I hold it, and I saw that same thing has happened in your pilot hi-techv7 pen too,can you tell me why it happened and how to avoid it
It works.. i would recommend mixing some of the pilot ink with the quink so that way it's a bit more darker. But u could totally use the quink no problem.. iv been using since months and it hasn't leaked ever
I have the Schneider refillable rollerbal. It's called Schneider Glam, at least in Europe, and it looks exactly like that fountain pen that you show in the video.
That brand has a very nice number of refillable rollerballs. Most of them use standard ink cartridges and mine ( the voyage model) can be used with a converter.
vision rt and vision elite from uniball can also be refilled, but the refill is essentially the entire pen though.
Price wise?
Wow that is so interesting and amazing a refillable liquid ink rollerball pen I heard of those type of pens but I never seen a video of them until now my cousin Letizia told me about it because she knew I was into pens I guess she said her dad had one because he is a main manager at his work and he uses it to write checks to his employees
This is the best video
Penbbs 350 Fountain Pen Fine Nib with Rollerball Pen Nib. Comes with both a rollerball nib and a fountain pen nib. Metal body. Amazon.
Yeah, that's a cool pen!
A well needed video! I hate the Monteverde engage and wish I had never bought it. Super wet and also leaks easily.
I LOVE the Zebra R-301. I've probably commented before because I was bummed when I couldn't get cartridges any more. I just filled one of my two remaining cartridges with Waterman Serenity Blue this morning. So far, no leaks a nd it seems to work really well. I just bought a decent fountain pen. I hate the V-301s. There are so many good cheap fountain pens that come with converters, you might as well try one. It's a lot cheaper.
I'm like 20 years late but I just wanted to say...
*we have the exact same handwriting*
Monteverde makes an "inkball" version of its tool pen that takes fountain pen cartridges. I bought one and used it for a couple of fills and then set it aside. It was ok. This video has made me want to dig it out again and see what happens with daily use for a month or more.
Thanks for another interesting video
What is the result ?
I'm looking for a refillable ball or maybe very thin felt exclusively for noodlers blue ghost. Any recommendations?
I like the fact you are left handed hard finding people that are. We need to stick together thanks for the review XD.
Thanks for stopping by
you bought the monteverde engage used perhaps that's the reason why the pen is working to your liking? and you saved me $$$ re: monteverde engaged... I like using fountain pen inks because of their many colours; I prefer blue :)
You've been a big help to me. Thank you for this review.
Happy to hear it! This was a niche topic that really captures my interest
Try keeping the light on the right side since you are left handed.
Yea thanks. Check out some later videos!
Nice I love refillable rollerballs
This is very cool. As a guy who got gifted a lot of fountain pens and ink, but wants a rolllerball for EDC, these are interesting choices. Also, fountain pens are terrible for writing on receipts, in my experience. Is there an FP ink you would recommend? Or should I still bring a rolllerball or ballpoint as backup? Usually have a Pilot Prera in pocket.
Noodler's black was meant to write on most things
@@BC21beats Whoa. Blast from the past.
is there a 0.3 fine tip for rollerball pens that is also refillable?
Not that I know of
nice info thanks I'm glad I don't have to try to read your writing. lol
English is meant for right handers. Most lefty have bad handwriting because they hold the pen in a weird way to avoid smearing the ink.
@@parrotbrand2782 My dads a lefty and his writing is better than most people I know lol
try a penbbs 350 or 309 pen with the rollerball option I heard that they are very smooth
I notice your sound quality is way better thanks
Great review! Curious as someone who loves to use fountain pen ink in these types of rollerballs, any specific brand or type of fountain pen ink to avoid as it would clog up a refillable unit like these? I know generally not to use inks with shimmers but any other ingredients to look out for in terms of fountain pen inks?
I think it's better to not use irongall inks and the pigmented ones that are permanent and might clog..
I actually bought a J. Herbin rollerball that's about as long as a regular pen unposted
the packing simply states J. Herbin Rollerball Pen and the bar code has hb-pen08vp
How about the pilot v5rt rollerball and those that use rollerball refill?
That Monteverde looked nice until the price tag was revealed, but also the fact that the mechanism isn't awesome. Very cool looking pen though. I'll stick with ballpoint or fountain, no need for a finicky middleman. (In my opinion).
Can u pls give me advice for a rollerball which can use many brand of fountain pen ink? I find out many of my rollerball (have refill system) just work with only 1 kind of ink. If I chảnge to other brand ink, it ll be so blurred with some ink and be overflowing too much with some other ink. Thank so much.
Schneider has a lot of models that work with fountain pen cartridges. Now I'm working with their ink ( in standard ink cartridges ) but I have tried with Faber Castell ink and it worked really well too
Thanks bro
I have the Conrad and love it. I have the monteverde one touch engage and love it. No leaks at all and a lovely writing experience. Your review seems overly punitive. I’ve watched other more even handed reviews that appear to be more indicative of my own favorable experiences with these pens.
I have mostly seen you in fountain pens comments section! Nice to see you here! 😁
thank you.
Will India Ink work in a rollerball pen?
Haven’t tested but I’d be concerned with leaks
Thanks for the review
Have you considered that you might be right handed ?
Thanks for the feedback. Will test it out
Don't get demotivated sir ( from all those people commenting about bad handwriting) I have worse hand writing and it's ok
English is meant to be written by right handers. You need to write Chinese or some language that write from right to left. Otherwise your hand smear the ink as you go along the sentence. It is very difficult to write a sentence well with a fluid ink with your left hand
I don't know if you have really short fingers or something, but you could totally write right to left languages by just extending your finger away from the palm so it doesn't smear
and the oscar for ugliest handwriting goes to... :P
more plastic thas is.
Yes, in short, Safari has more plastic
