Ti Ultra Pen

This pen basically solves all the issues I had with the TI ARTO EDC while adding a fountain pen feature that makes this a rare value buy from Big Idea Design. No offense but BID products are not exactly cheap. However, fountain pens of this quality is not exactly cheap either. There were no dry starts after 3 days of capped mid 80 degrees Fahrenheit room temperature. The Titanium felt a bit scratchy or "too much feedback" for my taste, but I mean that is why there was a steel nib included right? The nibs are standard Bock 250 #6 nibs, so I can swap it out if I wanted to. the pen is very modular I can pretty much take everything apart to clean it. This is exactly what my dream pen would look like. With all that said, there is a problem, not with the pen but with the accessories they are not selling on the site. If you are going to make this AWESOME pen that can use other parts, why are you not selling more nibs? It is not exactly easy to find Bock nibs in the U.S. In the end I did buy a gold nib from FPNIBs, This is just me nick picking. This is one pen I can say I would buy again and I would consider it a value buy. I mean a similar fountain pens are close to $400.

When I was in grade school we still used ink dip pens to practice our cursive writing. So I've always had a soft spot for fountain pens and perf them over others. I didn't just get a great fountain pen, but also a regular ballpoint or gel pen depending on which insert you want to use. This should be the last pen I'll ever need to buy. Thank big idea designs for coming up with this wonderful piece of writing equipment. Plan on buying 2 more for Christmas gifts, have a couple friends that would appreciate them. Thank you again and keep up the good work.

I have yet to use the pen, but the tube that housed the rollerball/ballpoint adapter was FAR too small for the piece.

I tried various methods of trying to extract the standard pen tip to no avail. In my efforts I ended up scratching the interior of the standard pen tip. I had to resolve to cracking and breaking open the tube with pliers.

Even when I exposed half of the tip and tried to pull the tip out it wouldn't budge at all. I, then again, slightly scratched the threads. I wasn't able to retrieve the standard pen tip until fully destroying the plastic tubing. Nearly cutting myself.

This size problem renders the tube useless. I now have nothing to store the fountain tip in, and negatively affected the standard tip in the process. Extremely poor design for such an expensive pen.

Expected more. Expected better.

I absolutely love my Ti Ultra Pen. It feels great in my hand and writes superbly.

I can not speak highly enough about this pen. The weight, the shape, the versatility, the aesthetic, everything! I originally saw this pen on the Lochby blog and was fasciated. After I saw the Figboot review, I knew I needed it. It feels amazing in the hand, and the extra o-rings give the cap such a snug feel, it's a great experience to just uncap the pen.
Two nibs for the fountain pen, and a refill for the ball point/rollarball/gel section! The value is in favor of the buyer.
Lastly, I got mine in 1 day! I don't know how that happened, but it arrived in record time.
This pen is worth so much more, and for a titanium pen, It feels great as an EDC.
