The Wing Sung 3013 is still one of the cheapest vac-filled fountain pens out there, but after several years of real-world use, is it still a good deal? In this long-term fountain pen review, I revisit the Wing Sung 3013, look at cracks, durability, cleaning, nib performance, vac-filling, and whether this ultra-budget fountain pen still makes sense for most people.
If you’re looking for affordable fountain pen reviews, budget pen recommendations, or a cheap way to try a vacuum filler, this one is worth a look.
The 3013 can be found here: ebay.us/N6bamH
Ink was Monteverde Caribbean Blue: youtu.be/oRHvMZKgxgk
Paper today was a memo pad from Daiso.
