Nice line variation, but not the smoothest of the writers I've got. That's a function of the nib, nothing more. I'm also learning to write a bit slower to keep the ink flowing. Again, a function of the nib, not a detractor. More of a slight detractor is finding the sweet spot. Not the easiest thing in the world due, again, to the nib. I mention this because I'm still fairly new to FP's and it's not something that's obvious.The pen itself is comfortable to write with, and it's proven decently durable this far. I work as a stagehand, so having a fountain pen as my work writing utensil is kind of living on the edge. The only thing I particularly disliked was the converter that came with it. The con-20 is not my favorite filling mechanism, as I can't really see how much ink I have left. And I may be a bit jaded due to me not connecting the converter properly to the pen intially. Squeeze converters that are detachable... Be careful!That aside, once I got my dumb out, the pen has worked fantastically. It seals up well, has minimal ink creep, and overall I could see this being a good workhorse pen. it's a lot of fun to use, and it give more of the character that's typically associated with "caligraphy writing," as so many call it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Interesting stick with wet end. Had a very fun time making pictures and shapes by touching stuff with the wet part of the stick *by C***N on Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2017* Fine and EF pilot 78gs have been my pen of choice for years. They usually take a tiny bit of adjusting to get them to flow well and write smooth, but after that they're pretty good. I still have a couple that are about 5 years old. Lots of them start leaking around the nib eventually.With all the 78Gs I toss the converter aside as soon as I get it. Just use an eyedropper and fill up the whole barrel with ink. I've never had problems with leakage carrying them in my pocket, they flow better, and they last a week before refills instead of a day.I did the same with this pen. Its the first italic nib I've had, so I had a bit of trouble getting it to write smoothly at first. But I've discovered it takes a bit lighter touch. Its got no issues with flow so far, it can glide across the page and keep a thick line easily.I'd say its still a little scratchy. It can make a very fine line, but I think it would still manage the same with the edges rounded down a bit. I wont hold this against them, because im ignorant to how it was really meant to write.I haven't had to modify anything essential with it like bending the nib or increasing flow, so its doing better than most other pilot pens I've had.Update: Its not scratchy, I just had to adjust to it. The pen leaked quite a bit the first time I filled it eye dropper style, but that was my fault. I forgot to grease the threads on it. A tiny bit of vaseline on the threads was all it needed, and it hasn't leaked at all after carrying it in my pocket a couple days.It has gone dry on me after writing for a few hours, which I think is pretty good for having no cartridge or converter in it. A cartridge or converter would've ran out of ink and gone dry sooner. While these only costed like 5$ a few years ago,its definitely still worth the 20$ price tag now. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pilot 78G FP-Double Broad.. It's a Winner *by T***N on Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2017* I've owned a few Fine and Medium Nibbed Pilot Fountain Pens, but wanted a something a little 'Broader'. I ordered the Pilot 78G Double Broad and was surprised at the Fit & Finish of the pen. This is an 'all-plastic' bodied pen that comes with a 'Poor-Quality' Pilot Con-20 Squeeze Converter- so If you order the Pilot 78G Fountain Pen, don't forget to order the Pilot Con-50 Converter (FBAB0016YWJZ80) ASIN: B00WE6658O. Once the Pilot 78G arrived, I flushed mild detergent and water through the pen feed and the converter. This ensures the machining oils are removed and the pen will ink properly. Once the pen was flushed I tried several Pilot Proprietary Inks (Pilot Iroshizuku) and was surprised by the smoothness of the nib, the flex of the nib and a little feedback too! Double Broad Nibs can be 'scratchy' but the nib didn't exhibit this. I think if you want to experience the Double Broad style, this pen is a Winner! Peyton Street Pens sells this pen through the Amazon Store- the only thing I wish was that the Pilot 78G came in in its Original Box. The pen arrived wrapped in Bubble Wrap, without a Box or Warranty Card and the shipping box was very flimsy! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/31297396-pilot-78g-fountain-pen-green-double-broad-italic-stub-new](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/31297396-pilot-78g-fountain-pen-green-double-broad-italic-stub-new) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-09-12*
