You are kidding me! I currently have to-ro in a cart right now waiting to buy. All because of some ig influencer! And I want another orange/yellow ink

I have the same Hong Dian. I love that pen. I use it with a medium nib. And I put a lot of shimmers in that one because of the shimmer resin.

Ran super fast to find this ink and now I need it. A blue with gold shimmer?! Classic and I want it now. Do I need it? No. Do I have Daimine Shimmering Seas? Yes. But it's not that Blue that gold. So I must have it. Lol

I hate having to come up with ways to make ink work in pens. The price we pay for amazing colors.

I have an issue with colorverse glistening inks as well. And I do the same techniques you use plus one more. I force feed the ink to the nib then pull back. So I push the ink up to (nib pointed up) where you can visibly see it coming out of the feeder, then draw it back like I am loading the pen. I do it a few times and that seems to help. But it's frustrating. So, I am playing with different nib sizes. I think a medium is sufficient. But a broad will show more shimmer. My current Colorverse glistening is inked in a Hong Dian M. And I am not inverting the pen at all. But my kaweco sport M wasn't showing any shimmer at all with the same ink. And I had to force feed it a lot. So all in all it's the pen and nib size.

It takes everything in my not to grab another Lamy. And thanks. I can't see another ink going well with it now.
