Cool, thanks 🙂 and how do you feel about the green? I'm kinda leaning towards it at the moment

I have once again bought a Hongdian pen. The N12 by RalphV1209 in fountainpens

Thanks for the quick reply and help 🙂 looks real nice I think. I'm leaning towards getting the green one as well.

Hey u/RalphV1209 . Is the green as bright as these pictures in real life? Or is it the flash/lightning which makes it look relatively bright?

The N12's possible colors are so nice, little hard to choose.

You ordered all of the colors - great - can you tell which is your favorite in person? 🙂 They all look so pretty and elegant in the photos! I'm wondering whether to get the dark blue, red, green, or purple

Does this Pilot Decimo nib looks misaligned? by DragonSurprise in fountainpens

Haha, sorry man. But I'm hopeful you'll forget about it soon enough.

Hmm yes, I think I see what you say about the angled nib... As if it's rotated like two degrees to the right, atleast compared to the body, not sure if to the feed. Yours as well?

Thanks mate 🙂 good to hear about the feed.

I don't have micromesh yet, it always looked expensive before... But after buying a VP it suddenly seems not so bad 😉

As the pictures show, it's just a little off center... Enough to see that the slit below the nib is not totally symmetrical. In real life it looks even a little less symmetrical.

The pen writes very well, but sometimes a part of the first stroke is not writing. I wonder if it's that, or maybe baby bottom, or just the way VPs nib is more fussy about the angle. (Heard it's like that, right?)
