I haven't tried any of them, but I have to admit I'd not want to use any Noodlers in a clear acrylic pen, such as my Visconti HS Skylight or a TWSBI, because of the risk of staining.
I have a few TWSBI’s. Their best feature is that they are virtually airtight, so even waterproof ink never dries in the pen, and it doesn’t leak. They also usually have huge reservoirs.
I finally got the Micro when they came out with the 16 color capability, and then i was happy to discover the little hole so i could attach it to a lanyard and hang it around my neck (decorated with a few flower and butterfly stickers!). That, a small sketchbook, a water brush, and my Pineider TTT Traveler pen (purchased in Florence) were all i needed for my Italian trip last year. I had more supplies along, but that’s what I took out every day.
Good choice! I have to admit, I really wish I could get out to Florence to see the city with a paintbox - and one day I hope to see Venice too with my paintbox and spare paints!
My original sketching fountain pen 11 years ago was a TWSBI Mini. I like a piston filler with a good clip. My golden, retriever puppy thought it was a stick so that was the end of that one. Have another now since they came out with a purple one. Very latest favorite sketching pen is a Leonardo with a fude nib.
I personally like the Eco. Good size, great reservoir, and comfortable in the hand. Personal choice - hmm - I think I prefer the Swipe, although I have no idea why!
I have heard the same. I do know that the Swipe is very hard. Some say that the clip will make the cap's plastic break, but I haven't had that myself (yet)!

I may not agree qirh
with his politics, but Noodler's waterproof inks (I'd suggest Black, Lexington Grey & Polar Blue) deliver when needed.

They are really well designed - apart from that ruddy clip!

I do love Fude nibs - the variation you can get is excellent - but sorry to hear about the TWSBI. Clearly they are appallingly attractive to pups!
I have been considering the Eco. As I do not have any TWSBI pens, I am wondering if it isa good entry pen for my collection and into the TWSBI family.

Heard somewhere Twsbi plastics are somewhat "tempered", the surface is harder than untreated plastics.

I can't sketch for toffee, but I enjoyed seeing your ingenious little kit.
Many thanks! Glad you liked it!
