Parker Vector 9000023209 Standard Fountain Pen (Blue)

I like this smoothness and the the good quality of this pen and a rich look. And getting 3 carriages getting with pen. Very good pen ,and that if they have given with refuller it would have been more better . But I suggest everyone to buy this .

Short Review :This is a good entry level pen for rough use. It is made mostly of plastic and is lightweight. Grip section is made of metal without any grooves hence is slippery. I had some issue getting it to start writing. Not the smoothest nib. It includes 3 blue quink ink cartridges but DOES NOT INCLUDE CONVERTER.Detailed Review :(1) In-the box - It includes 1 Parker Vector Pen based on your colour choice(I ordered Orange) and a small pack of 3 Parker cartridges with Blue Ink (Parker Quink Blue ink). There was no converter in the package so you will have to buy it separately.(2) The Pen - The Pen is mostly made up of a plastic. Therefore it is prone up scratches so remember to keep it away from metal and sharp objects. The clip is made up of metal with the usual parker arrow shape. The end of the barrel is also made of metal.The grip section is made up of metal with no grooves or indents. It is this slippery and you might want to avoid this pen if you have sweaty hands. The cap is a clip on type, not the most secure clip and i believe that eventually with use it will become very very lose. So you might want to take that into consideration before buying. I estimate that you can use this pen for a good 6 months without having the cap fall off.(3)Writing experience - As it did not come with a converter, I manually emptied one of the cartridges and refilled it with Waterman Audacious Red ink by using a 2ml syringe. I initially had some trouble getting the pen to start writing and it was a bit on the drier side. I had to spread the tines a bit to get a good flow. If this is a general problem alot of people are facing then I do not recommend this for beginners as you may end up hating fountain pens. The nib wasn't the smoothest but with my experience of parker pens, I'd say it just needs to be seasoned. It should be smoother after some writing.Would i recommend this pen for beginners - Absolutely no. However if they are low on budget then I guess this is a good optionBuild - 2/5Writing - 3/5Value for money - 5/5Value as a gift to someone - 2/5

Smooth writing. Satisfied with the product.

Parker does not specify nib sizes in their marketing and its a shame since the nib is why someone might decide to buy a fountain pen. This one is similar to a european medium nib size. The pen starts to dry out if you haven't used it in a few days. Pen is mostly plastic and without heft. If you just need a tool to write then this a good option. If you need a unique nib thats a makes your writing more personal, then this is not it.

Just ossome.one of my best pen.i thik every one try this pen at least one time in life.

The media could not be loaded. Parker has become so unreliable it is sad. 30 years ago, Parker symbolised quality. Today, Luxar has really compromised on the very USP of Parker.I was happy to find a Vector for around 250 rupees. Little did I know that they have made such serious compromises with the quality of Parker pens.The body is made of very very poor quality plastic. They have even stopped giving the free converter which came fitted with the pen.Now, coming to the worst thing that they have done...the iridium tip, which made Parker nibs one of the best entry level luxury pens, has been degraded. I am attaching a photo of the old Parker Vector nib and comparing the new one...hope you can see what I mean...Ordered a replacement hoping that this was a defective unit...

It’s value for money. It’s a lot more smoother compared to normal flair pens but they work just fine too. So if u want a Parker that is not expensive but want to feel like a Parker, go for it ig

Excellent product, value for money but in same price you should give metal body
