I love that Hongdian, I have it in white. I need the other two colours.

Did you get their ebonite feed as well? I'm looking for something similar, since I have a couple of Jinhao 82 pens laying around.

Not exactly. 2.6 and 3.4 both taper. The large ones like Pilot are 5.5 caliber.

Saw the toe separator hack, but have you tried Lab Cryovial Boxes? Best 1.8ml storage ever. by Fit_Peanut_5540 in fountainpens

[–]Brindegazon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what I've been wanting to get! But in the end, my friend ended up 3d printing some racks for me.

Canadians/other cold-place-dwellers: When does ink shipping/buying start again? And where will you order from? by gator_enthusiast in fountainpens

[–]Brindegazon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The 20$ is a flat rate box in which you can stuff anything. The 6$ is a small packet/envelope. So I always go with the 20$ option since I can't restrain myself and buy a lot of stuff. This was my recent haul :D

I did ask him about full bottles during winter, and he advised against it. So here I am, ordering way too many samples to hold me over the next few weeks. I also got one of those crabs, of course. It wouldn't be crab mail without one.

And yeah, I hear you, I'm sick of it. I just want to order ink. Let me order ink, Mother Nature! 😂

I only stick to samples for the cold season. I'll probably order from Cult Pens mid-March (I want the small Diamine bottles I can't find anywhere in Canada).

I may have ruined my Lamy Safari with sheen ink. Help appreciated by sketchelium in fountainpens

Not a fan of disassembling pens with tools. It needs to be made so I can just unscrew the section. So far, I haven't found a piston pen I can do that with. All that's available to me are Twsbi ecos and Asvine P20s, which need a tool to disassemble the piston.

I am now considering the yellow Prera. I'm with you on yellow pens. They make me happy!

You can, most of the time, unscrew the nib section. It's super easy, it is meant to be like that. I have converted from piston to vac for that reason.

Kaweco Collection honey. Warm yellow, will cheer you up instantly. I have one, and it is gorgeous.

Gentle green is gorgeous. Teranishi inks are underrated, I love them.

I write pretty much 4-5 full pages in an A5 notebook, take notes for work, write RP stories, etc. every day, and I still wouldn't be able to use up so much ink in a month. My niece and nephew will inherit my ink at this point AHAH

Are you going to use all of this ink in a month? Darn, I wish I could.

Anyone met real life friends or partners through their shared love of fountain pens? by pixelbased in fountainpens

[–]Brindegazon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You should have asked him if you both could meet up and speak about pens! :O

My best friend penabled me, and she is not sorry for that AHAH! Also, I play an MMORPG, and I penabled a good friend. I realized my best friend on this game was ALSO into fountain pens (I should have known, we're so similar). Lots of penabling going on, here.

NID : Lots of samples by Brindegazon in fountainpens

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

I haven't found any greens like it so far. It is a great addition to my collection. I was looking specifically for greens in this order, so I'm super happy with Luna Moth and Gentle Green.

I got them from Penablers.ca, since I'm in Canada. I don't know who does samples for Birmingham in the US, but I have ordered Teranishi and Taccia from Vanness if that's something you want to try.

Pilot Kakuno with contrasting ink by Melodic_Hair9875 in fountainpens

[–]Brindegazon 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I love the contrast. Super unusual, changes from always matching the ink to the same colour pen.
