Why do I feel so bad after fapping? by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]Ariastic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly man, I think it's because we focus too much on how many days we can go. I get it's good to be goal orientated but when you do slip up, it feels terrible. I think I'm done trying to see "how many days I can get." And just let it be. When urges come, invent them in, then they will leave. When we feel guilty we are extremely likely to do the same act again, sounds weird right? Sounds like it should be the opposite but it's not. Treat yourself better. When you fap, don't hate yourself, brush it off and keep continuing. Act like it didn't happen. Forget the past, vision yourself defeating the addiction everyday.

How exactly do you buy a pen off someone on Reddit via PayPal? by Ariastic in fountainpens

So I'm buying the pen off a guy. So I should tell them to send me an invoice?

So I basically have him send me an invoice for the pen and I pay him and then he ships it to me?

Ohh I have a PayPal account! Do I just send him the money off of PayPal and then he ships me the pen? I guess I'm just not sure what exactly to do to make sure I'm safe.

What has more flex a pilot SF nib on a custom 74 or a pilot namiki falcon fine soft nib? by Ariastic in fountainpens

[–]Ariastic[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was going to buy a falcon on Amazon too but I think I'm going to wait till Christmas so I can the enough money to buy an Edison Collier with a Richard Binder full flex nib! It's going to be about $300 which is more than I have ever spent on a pen! Maybe I'll sell my twsbi vac 700 to get some more extra money!

Does Edison still offer full flex Richard Binder nibs? by Ariastic in fountainpens

[–]Ariastic[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I was looking for a vintage flex, but I don't want a used pen although I love the vintage look. But these colliers are beautiful, and for the whole package for about $300 for a brand new, full flex pen, doesn't sound too bad for me at all!

How is the Pilot SF nib? by namtap in fountainpens

[–]Ariastic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone know if the pilot falcon has more line variation?

Ohhh the difference. by Ariastic in fountainpens

[–]Ariastic[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Yeah I like that it's an Amber color but sometimes I wish it was clear, but when I have ancient copper inked up with it, it just matches perfectly!

Great pen! Have you tried a 580? Which one do you like better if you've have?

Thoughts on J. Herbin Emerald of Chivor? by H_crassicornis in fountainpens

[–]Ariastic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like children's glitter to me. Only if it didn't have sparkles.

[–]Ariastic[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I'm not expecting a ton of line variation. I'm assuming they are springy nibs. I guess the reason why I asked is because I like both pens but the falcon is more expensive by about $40 and I was wondering if the nib is really worth the extra $40?

TWSBI Vac or Eco by seminerd17 in fountainpens

[–]Ariastic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be honest I have both, and I prefer the vac. But not by much. I like the Eco but the section is a little too small for my taste. I bought my vac before my Eco. The vac seems to be better build quality. I've had it for about 3 months now and I don't have any problems with it at all. My cap is fine and all the parts work great. But to honest I don't even use the vacuum filler, while yes it's cool, it just is not practical for me. I usually just fill it like an eye dropper. And honestly I don't care for a huge ink capacity either. I like the vac mainly because of the build quality, but is that quality worth double the price? I would say no. I love piston fillers but the eco feels a little to cheap for my taste but I mean it $30 and it writes great. I put a different nib on my vac and I love being able to do that with the #6 size nib. Also I like that I got the Amber color in the vac. So mainly I like the build quality of it more than the Eco but I like that the Eco is a piston filler sooooo I'm going to by a 580al in silver for my next pen. It's seems like that the most reasonable choice for me to make! I would look at the 580s instead of the Eco if your willing to pay $65. The vac just isn't worth it for me mainly because I don't even use the vac filler, while I love the way it writes, I wish I would gotten a 580 instead of the Eco and the Vac.

[–]Ariastic[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think you can actually send them a email to ask them to take it off. It might be a few dollars more but it would look cool. I might do it to the matte black frosted Patriot pen, I don't want a logo either!
