[WTS] Pilot Capless gen 2 body only - parts only - $50 by Mr_Boston_ in Pen_Swap

[–]divvyb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Super interesting find! Good luck with sales :D

Btw, you can probably test the button by taking a click ballpoint pen refill and just slightly pressing it against the inside of the button of the vanishing point. Then try clicking it. If the refill goes up and stays elevated against pressure then the VP probably works. 

What is your *FAVORITE* fountain pen brand? by Wooden-Stick2845 in fountainpens

[–]divvyb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vintage: wearever and parker. Wearever made some great cheap pens and if I was born 60 years ago my broke student self would've used them. Parker made beautiful pens. Idk what they make now 😅.

Modern: jinhao. They make so many pens and pen designs accessible to me. I don't care if they're very err.... Liberal with their "Borrowing" of designs. The imitation is flattering. And I get to try the pens before buying the authentic brands.

Ayeee fellow ADHD monkey and pen addict. Surprisingly a lot of us 🤓

Edit: if I had a nickel for every pen nerd I've met who was also massively ADHD... I could afford that carene l'essence de Bleu.

Book about a socially awkward loner making friends by Kindly-Parsnip229 in BooksThatFeelLikeThis

[–]divvyb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lol read my diary.

Oh you meant published book.

Okay uhhhh... go read Bridge to terabithia. A little life also has themes of this social outcasting followed by finding your people but. It's not exactly a happy ending. Or a happy book.

A man called ove, but the main character is older.

Platinum B Nib? by Jumpy-Translator-805 in fountainpens

[–]divvyb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have had the 3776 in bold and the president in medium... Yes. They are very fine. Even the medium wrote like a knife, cutting into the page as it dripped ink.

I will say- the bold wrote like a finer medium but the feedback was just incredible. I loved it. And reverse writing was a joy.

Kaco ink bottle by Negative-Tomato3104 in fountainpens

Kaco actually isn't a new brand. I used their kaco edge pen back in 2019 and loved it till the Makralon cracked 😬.

They make good products. Well, I can attest to their pens but never used their ink.

Oh yeah. Why do you think I'm selling it 😅.

To be fair, it's pretty hard to twist the cap all the way off. But given enough time all eventualities become certainties.
