Fountain pens

I have some Amazon funny money from Father's Day, so per the title, I want something that writes big and easy. No calligraphy nibs that depend on perfect position to be smooth. Possibly delusional, but hoping for recs that orbit around either side of the $100 USD mark. Gold nib and impeccable fit&finish is not necessary, but...

I have stopped using fountain pens because going even one day without writing with the ones I have makes the ink inside the cartridge irredeemably dry, sometimes I can keep going for a few days but the cartridge is pretty much spoiled....

I used to sing the praises of the Hongdian 517s, a stainless steel pen that I liked so much I bought it with two nib widths. I still like using these pens, but the screw caps proved their undoing....

I was more of a lurker on reddit, but we need more content here, so I guess I need to start participating a bit… so, a fairly standard question to get some conversation going!...

If only someone had mentioned that I would be starting a collection to work out what I like and don’t like!...

Mine is the Platinum Little Meteor....

Hi everyone, let's get this party started!...

I first started using fountain pens in 2021, and I've never run out of ink. Have you ever used up an ink bottle and how long did it take?

Any suggestions for sticky notes that work decently with fountain pens? Regular Post-It Notes seem to work okay with a fine nib and Parker Quink (quite a well-behaved ink), but in general, I find regular sticky notes to feather and bleed with most pens and inks....
