PARKERVector Fountain Pen | Black with Chrome Trim | Medium Nib | Blue Ink | Hangtab

The Parker Vector Rollerball is an excellent pen with smooth, consistent ink flow. I absolutely love how thick the ink is—it gives my writing a richer and more satisfying look compared to gel refills. The ink flows effortlessly, and the overall writing experience is really enjoyable. The ink does take a second to dry, but that’s to be expected with any rollerball, and it’s something I can easily overlook because of how smooth the writing is.My only preference is for a medium refill instead of the fine refill it comes with. I personally like a bolder line, but the medium refill is sold separately, which is a minor inconvenience. Once I swapped it out, the pen was perfect!Overall, this pen delivers a fantastic writing experience with great flow and thick ink. Highly recommend it!5 stars – Smooth, thick ink with excellent flow. Perfect once I switched to a medium refill!

Great pen. Parker is a great brand and it is perfect for people who are looking for a gift that looks great and endures. It is durable and does not stop flow once when you are writing. It has a classic metal grip that offers good grip and comfort.

Bought to replace my old parker pen that I had had for decades. Hope this one lasts as long. Writes nicely on good quality paper. Not so good on cheaper paper ink tends feather and nib seems scratchy. Does not hold much ink in the refilable cartridge. So unfortunately have had to use pre filled catridges. Dissapointed with that because of the plastic waste. Lightweight but a little unbalanced for writing if you put the cap on the end. Lovely lilac colour. Feels a good quality pen.

Love these pens. Had 3 in past. Broke one barrel by over tightening, otherwise imagine they will just last & last. Very light weight, feel well balanced when writing. Nice sized nib, not too fine or broad,& looks much more impressive than biro script.Great price for a Parker pen, this one was on special offer. Nice bright colours to choose from. Arrived quickly.

Such a good fountain pen for the price and I gifted this to a friend who also loved it

What can I say about this Parker?For starters, it writes brilliantly (medium nib).Secondly, it's quite a robust little thing, unless you step on it.Above all: it's a proper fountain pen, that does the job as well as anything above £500.You DO NOT have to spend silly money on a good fountain pen. That is total and utter poppycock.All these articles about "What is a good beginner fountain pen?"... total rubbish... there is no such thing as a beginner fountain pen.(Calligraphy pens are a different matter. But they're for art... not everyday writing.)Don't get me wrong, there are good and bad pens. But the Parker is GOOD.I have written thousands of pages with one of these pens and it has NEVER let me down.I have also written with expensive pens (can't reveal which, as this review is not about them) and they were absolutely no better.Some advice: if you don't want to spend the extortionate prices Parker charge for refills, do what I've been doing for about 20 years - refill your used cartridge from an ink bottle with a medical syringe. Easy and cheap.

I’ve recently gone back to using fountain pens, and I got this is as it was the pen of my childhood. They don’t seem to have changed a bit.The younger pen ‘experts’ turn their noses up at these entry level pens in favour of their TWSBIs, but this is a solid performer that will last forever if you take care of it. Go for the chrome for extra strength and style, but I love the plain black version.Sure, the nib is small and they don’t cap perfectly, but it’s fine for everyday use and taking notes.Add a converter and get some black QUINK, and for around £25 you may never need to buy another pen again. And you are helping cut down on plastic waste.

Disappointed with this Parker pen. It is advertised as a fine end, but it is more medium. The positive one it is easy to hold and write with the pen.
