With all the inks I've already purchased as well as getting into blending inks for various colors and shades, what is your go-to pen for trying out inks? What do you use to test out new inks (in small quantities) before you decide to ink up something better?

I'm not super consistent about it, mainly because I don't always have my pens clean and I'm impatient!
Lamy Al-Star is my go-to (Vista works too)
I can fill it up just enough to saturate the feed, save even getting the converter inked up
the clear grip allows me to see how much I'm filling it and if it's running out
Lamy nibs are easily swappable so I can get a feel for different line widths
easily cleans out with a bulb syringe, can do at my desk for rapid changing sessions
you could really use whatever pen you want, honestly
I'd stay away from the more complex filling mechanisms, these aren't as ideal for changing inks a lot
glass pens or dip pens can certainly be an option, too
