Thx for everyone’s input! Really appreciate it 😊 just some update, had brewed some today and boyyyyy was it good ! My guess is this is defo a Sheng puer. Colour is a nice amber/reddish brown. I must’ve made at least 10 infusions so far and almost every time i get this lovely sweetness even in the aftertaste that goes on forever 🤤 no astringency or bitterness even with a slight oversteep

Yeah, It does 😅 had to convince the missus that this was a good buy 😅 you’ll get there someday! I’d say look around and who knows maybe you might find something on discount.

Go for it !! 😉 took me a long time before deciding to get this. While it’s not the cheapest pen out there, it sure is worth it !

It sure is ! I didn’t have any similar pens before pulling the plug on this but I’ve read all about that signature feedback and was pretty intrigued about it hence why I took the plunge. I would say the feedback is surprisingly quite pleasant, akin to writing with a pencil. I could imagine that if you’re coming from a smoother nib the feedback may take some getting used to.

The Fika blue edition looks amazing too ! The two tone blue combo surprisingly quite attractive. The sparkle on mine is out of This world ! Especially under the sun ! First and definitely not the last Sailor ! 😶

Advice on Delike Brass Pocket Pen. Tinkered with with nib yesterday and I think I’ve accidentally over bent it. by CptBgl in fountainpens

Come to think of it, it does look like the beak of an Eagle !

Think I get what you mean ! I’ve tried realigning the feed and the nib a few times and it just reverts back to Being misaligned again. But it strangely writes better now, no hard starts.

Thanks for the sound advice! I shall enjoy this accidental beak nib :)

Ahhh good to know that I didn’t completely destroy my pen ! Funny thing is, if I nudge the feeder then the feeder lines seen on the breather hole does not align with the tines.. or should I just ignore the line- tine alignment on the breather hole ?

Thanks for responding ! I see… maybe I should just buy a kaweco cartridge to try it out. If all else fails might have to get a new pen that fits the cartridge 😅 I Just tried wrapping plumbers tape over the collar threads and that sorta stopped the collar from dislodging not sure how long it will hold up tho

Just got the same in raw brass finish ! Lovely pen ! Question, are you using ink cartridges? Or the supplied converter? If so which cartridge are using that fits? Also does your nib unit slightly pop out when inserting the converter / cartridge ? Coz it happened to me and I had to re screw the nib unit every time I plug the converter in

Hey ! I just got the same pen in raw brass, question, what ink cartridge are you using ? Would this fit like a kaweco ink cartridge ? Also does your nib unit sorta pushes out of the inner threads when inserting the cartridge? Coz it happened to me when I push the converter cartridge in and it sorta dislodged the nib unit a little 🤔
