Sometimes you need to write, and you need to write fast. Traditional fountain pens have the screw cap- great for slowing you down and to enjoy your writing experience, but when the clock is ticking, grab a quick draw! Brian has a line up of snap cap, click-able, easy openers to help you accelerate your writing.

Monteverde Limonada – $28

by far the least expensive on the list

small body, light weight

posts long but still good for small hands

multiple colors but only nib size (Medium)

Cross Botanica Fountain Pen – $115 to $125

large pen but the heaviest is the cap

if you don’t post it, it’ll be very quick to unsnap and write

solid feel, solid clasp when capping

swappable nibs with all other Lamy pens (besides 2000)

thin but well weighted

caps solidly and smoothly

no fuss when writing, the nibs are always reliable

slippery grip could be a negative

Pilot E95S Fountain Pen – $136

super light, semi flex

really small- most people need to post

pocket pen

pilot nib so sometimes a bit scratchy (especially EF)

gorgeous, vintage design

Pilot Prera Fountain Pen – $56

quick and easy snap cap

really satisfying to open and close

short, demonstrator, looks really good with bright ink inside

a real sharp shooter

Platinum Balance Fountain Pen – $43.20

you can snap and unsnap with two fingers!

great nib, semi flex

affordable at under $50

cap is really light, doesn’t affect balance of pen

Sheaffer Sagaris Fountain Pen – $63

**UPDATE** – We no longer carry this particular pen

makes a solid popping sound when you open it

heavy cap

lots of colors

Pilot Vanishing Point Fountain Pen – $140 to $640

one hand click makes it the fastest draw

swappable nib unites give you a variety of nibs

a little pricey- you can get one ranging from $140 or $640

These are our top recommendations, but there are other great quick draw options. What is your go-to fast writing pen?
