Baoer 3035 Review

Mwuahahaha, time for another review! Keeping up with the cheaper pens, we have one from China, this is the Baoer 3035.

The pen, the nib and the cap and barrel is stainless steel, the nib is a Medium width and can be pulled out along side the feed for easy cleaning and tuning, it comes with a standard international converter, the pen has a black jewel at the end of the cap, and the clip is springy, but I feel I can over do it with not much force.

The writing experience was perfect with this pen, after getting it, I flushed it out and let it dry, then went ahead and inked it up, at the moment I have Omas Turquoise that I got as a sample from someone (You know who you are!), ink flow is nice and wet on Rhodia paper, but on the paper that I used in this review (Review of it coming up!) was more absorbent, but still held up to the ink, and wetness will vary on different paper, same with dry time.

Now, the story regarding this pen, the section is not what came with the body and cap when I first got the pen, this was my first fountain pens that I had gotten, so the story goes like this - I was cleaning the pen, and was trying to remove the nib and feed, but they where stuck and not coming out, so I decided to soak the section in water over night, in the morning, I took the section out and wrapped it up in some paper towel, and then I must have either lost it in moving my room around, or accidentally thrown it away, and now when ever I throw away some tissue from my desk, I pull it all apart to make sure there are no pen sections in them, and so I had to buy another one of these pens, and the one I bought has a black barrel and black cap, but the section fitted perfectly into the silver barrel and cap.
