Definitely a beginners fountain pen set, all pens were rounded nibs, so no flex. But a great starter set for anyone getting into them. Gives a good range of nib size and ink colors along with the inks possibilities. If you already have experience with fountain pens, would not recommend, unless for beginners.
Personal favs from the set were the Pilot Varsity Disposable Fountain Pen because of its easy use. Second would be the Monami Olika Fountain Pen because of its similar characteristics to the Pilot Varsity, but its ink was my fav. Very dark and pronounced.

This review would have been five stars if not for one bad seed.

Monami Olika - one of my immediate favorites. It’s a fine nib but it almost feel like a medium. I love the flow of the ink. I also love that it can take different brands of cartridge refill. I can play around with the inks as I get to know them.

Platinum Preppy - I bought two additional fountain pens because I just live how they look and it’s pretty affordable, both the pen and cartridge.

Zebra Zensations - not bad for a disposable. I use this on an almost daily basis at the office.

Pilot Varsity - pretty good for a disposable fountain pen. I prefer this to the Zensation.

Pilot Petit1 - my favorite from the whole bunch. This was the last pen that I’ve tried because it’s tiny so I didn’t think much of it. But boy, oh boy, it is amazing! This pen writes the smoothest out of all of the sampler pens.

Zebra V-301 - last and the very least. It’s less than $4 and I want to dump this in the garbage if I didn’t value my hard earned money. This has caused me the most frustration. On my first try, I was giving it a good shake for a couple of minutes, and then nothing. I’ve given it another five minutes worth of shaking. It finally gave me a line, and then I started to write actual words, I’ve got one word out of it until it stopped writing again. No ink comes out of it at all.

I wanted to return the V-301 but unfortunately, the pens are not returnable. I did get an instruction from JetPens on how to clean a fountain pen, both basic and advanced methods. I appreciate the tips but I don’t want to have to put too much effort on a pen this price.

As I was disassembling the V-301 pen, I noticed that the ink was a little thick, and almost not as runny as the other cartridges from the other brands. I decided to give it a very good and hard shake. It finally wrote!!! I kept practice writing with it and it’s nice when it works. But then it would stop writing again until I give it another good hard shake. It’s a stop and go with this one. I do not recommend the V-301 at all.

I enjoyed this sampler pack because of the ability to try each pen side by side. There are also different sized nibs which is extremely important. For instance, I had thought that I would need a medium nib because that's what I use in a ballpoint pen, but I found the extra fine was my preferred nib.
So a lot of options for not a whole lot of money, perfect for someone exploring fountain pens for the first time.

I loved all the fountain pens but both Zebras. The non-refillable was extremely flimsy, and the other zebra fountain pen leaked uncontrollably and wrote worse than any other pens I ever used in my life. It wrote extremely rough and the ink clogged and then bursted onto the paper. Even when I didn't use it, it leaked very severly. I would not recommend to buy this set, but rather, buy all the fountain pens except the zebras.

I love this sampler! The variety allows me the chance to find exactly what I like in a fountain pen!

Thanks

I'm so glad you asked! Monami Olika - excellent! Pilot Varsity - excellent! I knew it would be; it's one of the few disposable fountain pens I've ever found available locally.) Platinum Preppy - takes a bit of "shaking down" to get it to write, but I do like the finer point. Pilot Petit1 - I haven't been able to get the cartridge to "seat", so haven't any writing experience to share. I'm not yet impressed. Zebra V301 - This is an incredibly beautiful writing instrument, and I'm in love with the finer point. Unfortunately, I cannot get it to write for more than a scribble at a time. There you have it; I'm glad to have had the opportunity to sample these products. Even more so, I'm glad to supply my experiences. Thanks for the prompt delivery and for giving me this opportunity to comment.

Decent pack, but all the pens were very stiff. However, I did grow to appreciate the line variation and feel when writing so it ended up being a gateway drug to a much more pricey, fancy fountain pen.

I love fountain pens and this makes writing a pleasure, such a pleasure I am now copying my unabridged dictionary just for the fun of it.

Wonderful beginner pens or not. I think these are great because they write smoothly and feel really nice in my hand.

Love this sampler! Particularly the Petit!
