Jots are a #fountainpen that showed up in "dollar" stores maybe 9 months ago? They look like Lamys, but are clearly not. The cap takes a lot of effort to remove. The nib is quite scratchy but otherwise an ok EF. The grip is horrible. They come with a couple black cartridges.
Searching for "dollar fountain pen" might reveal a little. Here are a couple videos I ran into at the time:
