I love this pen! I've used a number of fountain pens over the past 10+ years and the Vibe has been by far the best. The features I most like are consistent ink flow and what feels like a flexible (and forgiving) tip of the nib. The Vibe has brought back the magic and enjoyment of writing with a fountain pen!

I’ve been looking for a new entry to my fountain pen collection and this Batavia fountain pen looked like the right fit. Most of my fountain pens were flex nib so the medium nib was definitely welcome addition. I mostly use it for quick projects where I’m more concerned about time rather than quality. So far it has been superb. Definitely a worth the money

My friend introduced me to calligraphy a while ago and I’ve been hooked ever since. After using the fountain pens she loaned me for weeks, I finally decided to get my own and ordered this Batavia fountain pen. It’s perfect the perfect pen for beginners who have not yet mastered a flex nib and just looks so gorgeous. Definitely happy with my purchase.

Easy to use and with a great nib. I use fountain pens for drawing and flex nibs have been my go to for years. However, I sometimes like to do rough sketches and they seemed wasteful to use them for it. That’s when I ordered this Batavia medium nib pen. It’s not as elegant but it’s perfect for what I need. The ink flows just right and I don’t have to worry about how much pressure I apply when drawing my lines. Definitely a must-have for artists of skill levels.

I wanted to try calligraphy but I was too on the fence about investing in a quality flex nib pen. A good friend recommended this Batavia medium nib pen as a starter and I’m really happy that she did. The pen really works for beginners like me since it allows me to get used to holding something bigger than a ballpoint. It’s also great that I can use it for my journaling without worrying about spilling ink all over the page.

I got this as an anniversary gift for my husband. He keeps using those disposable ballpoints for work so I thought I’d get him something that would last more than a few weeks. At first he was unimpressed but after using it a few times he came to appreciate how a fountain pen works. It’s now a constant fixture on his desk at home and he told me he wants to get one for the office too.

I have about 15 pens in my collection and this is definitely a great addition to it. Most of my pens were for calligraphy and I can’t use them for writing random notes ans shopping lists. This Batavia pen filled the gap. It still makes me feel like I’m writing with a fancy pen without having to worry about things like wasting ink or how much pressure I’m applying to the nib. Definitely a worthwhile buy.

As a fountain pen collector, this Batavia pen is one of my recent favorites. It’s perfect for everyday tasks and it’s the one I almost always bring to work with me. It’s not as elegant as a flex nib but it still lets me write with style which gives me a sense of pride. Highly recommended.

I usually have 4 fountain pens in my office and after one finally reach the end of its lifespan I decided to get this fountain pen on recommendation from a friend. Happy to say it didn’t disappoint. It’s now my go-to pen when signing paperwork and I’m planning to get another that I can use at home.
Cindy J.
Right of the box, the pen really felt like it had some weight which was definitely a good sign. After I filled it up, I got some thick paper I use for sketching and was very pleased with the way it wrote each like. It responds to the slightest pressure which is definitely neat when you’re drawing portraits. Planning to get another one as a spare soon.
James R.
I haven’t gotten the opportunity to really put the pen to the test but after trying it on a few pages I’m confident it will perform as advertised. The ink flow was what you’d expect from a fountain pen of its price point and the gorgeous handle is just icing on the cake. Looking forward to finally working on some calligraphy soon.
Kristal B.
I love the way it writes. It took a bit of getting used to especially with putting the ink in but after I did everything was smooth sailing. My first go with the pen, I went through a dozen pages of blank paper. It was so fun to see the nib create so many magnificent lines with little effort. Definitely worth the buy and I’m planning to get more to give as gifts to a few friends.
Evelyn D.
Got it after a week and I must say it well worth the wait. After seeing the box it came in, I knew it was a quality fountain pen. The handle fits in my hand so well and it feels natural even when I’m writing for hours. The ink flows so well to the paper and it also doesn’t take a lot of pressure to increase the thickness of the lines. Definitely one of the best purchases I made this year.
David C.
I can't get enough of this pen. It's simply perfect for modern calligraphy. I had trouble at first using cheap store-bought ink until their support advised me to invest in better quality ink and what do you know its performance increased dramatically. Now it's my go-to pen when working on projects and now I'm planning to get another as a backup.
Louise R.
Took a while to arrive but it was definitely worth the wait. The pen is absolutely gorgeous and the ink flow is definitely on par with most high-end fountain pens. I’m also not one to skimp on ink so I’m definitely getting my money’s worth with this Batavia foutain pen.
Charlie M.
A great pen for those just starting out with calligpraphy. The quality is superb especially for its reasonable price point. Of course, you have to invest in good ink if you want it to work at its best but other than that there’s not much else to say other than it’s a fine writing instrument. Definitely recommended.
Emily S.
Very good quality pen. I’m starting out with calligraphy and decided to go all out and get this Batavia fountain pen. Happy to say I wasn’t disappointed especially considering its price point. The ink flow was great and it also earns points in the looks department. I’m definitely glad to have it on my desk.
Gary M.
Bought one for myself and another as a gift for a relative and both times the pen performed wonderfully. I’m no calligraphy expert but my experience has definitely been superb from the way it feels in your hand and the delivery of the ink to the paper. Highly recommended.
Rebecca L.
Excellent and gorgeous pen, especially if you’re a very fast writer like me and want the pen to keep pace. It's definitely well-made and I'm more than happy to have added it to my collection.
Stanley H.
Goodness! Where Do I begin? I really wanted to start my own collection and this Batavia fountain pen seemed like a good place to begin. Glad to say I couldn't have picked a more ideal first pen. This fountain pen sets my expectations high for any future additions. I may not be an expert but even my amateur self can tell this is a fine writing instrument. From the feel of the handle to the ink flow, there's just nothing I can say about this pen that isn't positive. Definitely worth every dime.
Danny K.
Extremely satisfied with my new Batavia medium nib fountain pen. With good quality calligraphy ink it writes without a hitch and I don’t even have to worry about how much pressure I apply when writing. Definitely a step up from my old dip pens which often splatters my writing surface with ink.
Christina A.
I have written with fountain pens for most of my life so my fiance surprised me with this Batavia fountain pen for my birthday and I loved it ever since. It's design is elegant and the ink flow is very smooth. The feel of the pen is also perfect as it doesn't overwhelm my hand and wrist even when writing for a long time. I’m so happy to have gotten it as a gift and I'm planning to buy another soon.
Leslie C.
Totally charmed with the Batavia fountain pen! Such gorgeous lines flow easily across the page. I'm a calligrapher and a lefty and this pen really lets me express my imagination on paper! Definitely one of the most exceptional and beautiful writing instruments I have acquired over the years.
