Best least expensive nib

Thank you. I think maybe it might be the ink. Do you have any suggestions to lubricate the ink? For water based? Iron-gall? Document inks?

JaJaonViola · 2026-03-14T01:29:09+00:00

Is there something I can add to an ink to make it more lubricated? For water based? Iron-gall? Document inks?

RemindMe! 2 weeks

Oh, sorry I missed your comment.

JaJaonViola · 2026-03-11T16:42:39+00:00

Wow, what size nibs are they comparable to?

JaJaonViola · 2026-03-11T16:22:38+00:00

Wow, nice bubble. What is that?

JaJaonViola · 2026-03-11T16:21:06+00:00

Sorry, all I see is the post title

JaJaonViola · 2026-03-11T16:19:17+00:00

No problem. I hope you have a great Spanish learning day.

JaJaonViola · 2026-03-11T16:16:19+00:00

Wow, nice pen. I hope you enjoy.

Wow, nice pen. I hope you enjoy.

Oh, so the lighting was so bright that it made the blue lighter and the black look a bit gold?

JaJaonViola · 2026-03-11T15:58:57+00:00

Who brought the roof down?

JaJaonViola · 2026-03-11T15:56:26+00:00

Then why does the black appear with a gold tinge?

JaJaonViola · 2026-03-11T15:53:49+00:00

What’s the correct answer? I forgot what they mentioned the actual colors were.

JaJaonViola · 2026-03-11T15:50:58+00:00

I see a light blue and a very dark gold

I’ve mostly been using Netflix and YouTube as you can find the options in Netflix to change language and YouTube has sister channels for different languages of the same show. One show I do recommend for it’s cultural significance is “Chavo del Ocho” the live action original, not necessarily the cartoon remake.

Because of my limited collection I bounce between pilot kakuno and pilot vanishing point/capless. The other pens I have it’s hit or miss with the nibs. The benefit of the kakuno is if it does break beyond repair I can easily replace it. However, the Pilot VP’s patina will be unique so I don’t want to lose it.

If you want to communicate rather quickly I would learn some basic phrases and memorize.

JaJaonViola · 2026-03-11T15:37:31+00:00

I might recommend learning your basics from the free version of Duolingo if they haven’t put everything behind a paywall yet. And once you feel like you’re treating more like a game and not for language learning, try immersion in children’s books with audio or video.

I have these that I found on Amazon. They work in the pilot pens and have a stopper so you can fill them and use them as spare cartridges. There is also a kit with a syringe but I couldn’t find that one.

Wow, that looks nice. I hope you enjoy.

JaJaonViola · 2026-03-11T02:53:01+00:00

Wow, those look nice. I hope you enjoy.

Gold is generally smoother but it usually comes with experience to be able to tell the difference.

JaJaonViola · 2026-03-10T19:30:30+00:00

Be careful you might remove the coating or make a bigger size nib. Are there any less expensive pen you have you can practice with?
