Bring back the ball point pen
I hate using the fountain pen because I want all my writing to look consistent. The fountain pen has places where it's thicker and places where it's thinner and it drives me crazy. The ball point pen was way better because it was consistent. Bring it back!

That's a completely understandable frustration! It sounds like the variation in line width—the thicker and thinner lines—is what you dislike most about using a fountain pen.
This variation in line width is actually a key characteristic of fountain pens, and it's called line variation or 'flex'. It happens because the pen's nib (the metal tip) responds to changes in https://www.md-ezpass.com pressure and the angle at which you hold the pen, causing the tines to spread slightly.
