on saleDiplomat Magnum Fountain Pen - Lime Green

I like this pen so much that I have it attached to my daily planner. It writes smoothly and is easy to grip. I'm a lefty and it works well even in the wrong hand. However, it has started to leak frequently. I open the pen and begin to write only to realize my fingers are not inked up. It is too bad, I wish I knew how to make it stop leaking because I like the pen. I guess it will go into the drawer and I'll try one of my other pens.

I love these pens. They do seem a bit delicate as I dropped my pen and while it didn't hit the nib straight on, it was still enough to knock the nib off enough that it started to write very scratchy and the ink flow was affected. 100% my fault but there are no replacement nibs, so be aware you'll need to replace the entire pen.

Which I did! I bought the Lime Green which is a gorgeous green and a very nice sheen. It pairs perfectly color wise with Private Reserve Spearmint. My favorite ink!

Got the pen with the fine nib and used the blue ink supplied. Pen writes nicely and I like the blue ink.
Concerns: The cap is very hard to snap off.... almost thought I would break it. Also the nib unscrewed very tight, again I thought it would break. Both seemed to have loosened up, But was concerning.

This is the second Diplomat Magnum pen I've purchased from Goulet and I really love it. I prefer the medium nib as it writes smoother than the fine. The pen is narrow, but is still comfortable. I like the "window" that lets me know when ink is low. I also like that an extra cartridge can be stored in the pen in case I run out of ink while I'm "on the go". Great product.

I was excited to buy this one after listening to the Goulet PenCast. For a $24 pen, this one kinda stinks. The nib doesn't write very well and has to be held at a very precise angle that is very wet. I used this one with the free Private Reserve Ink from the promo (I got DC Electric Blue and it is great) but I probably wont waste the ink in this pen. The other downside is that it weighs almost nothing. The pen cannot write at all under its own weight which is very disappointing for a German pen. Would definitely recommend LAMY Safari over this one at this price point. It does, however, come with a nice-sized Piston converter that pulls in the least air I have seen in most pens.
