I seek your guidance #FountainPen nerds!

I have a Lamy safari and now I want a #BuyItForLife kinda pen. Hopefully in the ~100€ range. Also would like one with a vacuum/piston
Extra points for a nice/unique ink

@Alejandro_P TWSBI has a vacuum fill pen. i can't speak to that model in particular, but the TWSBIs I've got (Eco and 580) are DELIGHTFUL

I wouldn't consider twsbi's buy for life pens. It is difficult to give you vac/piston fillers in your range that are true 'for life pens'. So I wil suggest pens that I believe should last a lifetime because of their quality. Asvine V200 (Vac) is made of titanium and clear acrylic, P36 (piston filler) - same as v200, and P30 (piston) - bronze and clear acryllic. Majohn P137 Ti, Ti136 (piston) - full titanium bodies. The only one I personally own is V200.

Those Chinese pens well within your budget and very well pens. I will also add Majohn P140 (Piston filler) - made out of clear or translucent green acrylic and BRASS piston mechanism! It si also has a No8 size nib. I got mine in medium and it is amazing!.

@Alejandro_P If you like Lamy and don't mind looking for used, the Lamy 99 is usually under 100 and comes with piston+gold nib and is otherwise very similar to the more expensive Lamy 2000

@Alejandro_P I’m loving my Lamy studio with the converter in it. On my second converter now and original nib as my daily driver.
