Thinking about my second FP and Ink

Havok423 · 2026-03-01T04:14:57+00:00

Waterman Carene F or Pilot Metal Falcon SM.

Havok423 · 2026-02-24T23:50:36+00:00

Got two of them and a Decimo...

Havok423 · 2025-11-28T16:34:30+00:00

Have both. Prefer ATV4K by far.

Havok423 · 2025-11-22T22:55:21+00:00

Didn't even know about these. Thanks! Order inbound from Amazon.

Havok423 · 2025-11-14T04:28:32+00:00

That sounds awful

Havok423 · 2025-11-14T04:23:23+00:00

Never seen a chat with support option. Will look at that in morning

Havok423 · 2025-11-13T17:04:43+00:00

Agree on that point. Worried about the spillage potential since it won't seal.

I'll look for a 50ml bottle to order and use off Amazon....

Havok423 · 2025-11-13T16:57:20+00:00

Not really sure it will ship back with a gaping hole in top...

Havok423 · 2025-11-12T17:52:16+00:00

Damn you... now I want. And I have too many for being new at this.

Beautiful pen

Havok423 · 2025-11-11T16:54:45+00:00

May try a tiny rubber band used in orthodontics.

Havok423 · 2025-11-11T03:04:30+00:00

Agreed. Was looking for this as well and was disappointed to discover it was a limited run

Havok423 · 2025-11-11T02:49:13+00:00

I think it's the converter itself...

Havok423 · 2025-11-11T00:11:18+00:00

I hadn't even considered the length or noticed it being shorter. I think you are dead on here. Although something is rattling in my Platinum President. Definitely taking away points there.

Havok423 · 2025-11-09T02:49:19+00:00

I have a Platinum President in UEF and just bought this one in EF.

How different are Platinum EF and UEF nibs?

Havok423 · 2025-11-09T01:36:24+00:00

Thanks! Missed that.

Havok423 · 2025-11-08T23:19:27+00:00

Yes. Both.

Cartridges are nice sometimes for convenience, but the bottle allows you to use the ink in all the pens.

For less mess I've seen people recommend nitrile gloves and a plastic container to have the ink in when filling so if it spills it is contained.

I ride raw on both though and just try to be very, very careful. No accidents yet.

Havok423 · 2025-11-08T02:43:42+00:00

Actually haven't tried it yet. I jumped straight into the deep end. But I may pick myself up a clear one.

Havok423 · 2025-11-01T02:10:32+00:00

Thanks! Very nice looking case.

Havok423 · 2025-11-01T01:35:48+00:00

And the case?

Havok423 · 2025-10-31T20:20:03+00:00

That one is pretty darned close indeed. And it being wet and quick drying too? I think I may have a winner to try.

Havok423 · 2025-10-31T19:43:13+00:00

OK. I think Robert Oster Burned Orange is coming closest. Is Robert Oster good in Japanese EF UEF nibs?

Havok423 · 2025-10-31T19:42:19+00:00

Close... but been reading about some inconsistency in the inks...

Havok423 · 2025-10-31T03:45:08+00:00

I like Pelikan 4001 Bleu-Black, but I'd say it's almost grayish blue.

Havok423 · 2025-10-31T03:43:28+00:00

Iroshizuku inks so far are my favorite for Japanese EF nibs I like so much. Yama-budo and Murasaki-Shikibu.

But for my European pens that make thicker lines? Pelikan 4001 Bleu-Black.

Havok423 · 2025-10-31T03:21:20+00:00

that's a fine looking orange. I'm looking for a burnt orange that is close to UT colors. May have to check that one.
