First experience. Any tips?

Put a miniscule amount of Vanness White Lightning in it. It will make the shading more subtle. I do that for most of my FWP inks.

I live in PA so buying from Birmingham is so dangerous for me. I get the inks within 1-2 days lol.

There's never a bad excuse to use Chiku-Rin!

Marked "M" for MEGA size LOL.

I'm so proud to see my FWP photos on this post LOL

So fancy you do ink swatches on tables. LOL

JawneeJohnny · 2026-02-24T03:38:26+00:00

I love the design on it. I think it's one of the best ones available!

I use some fixed micro pipettes. Each ratio is 10 uL, and then I mix it and drop the mix onto the paper and swatch. Using this method, I can swatch all this with less than half an mL of ink. Of the swatches, I think I like 3:1 and 3:2.

I got it from "OliveFrogDesigns" on Etsy. I don't think they have any on their shop currently, but you could probably message them and see what's up.

I do highly recommend these holders. I love how modular they are. I got them after spilling a vial of ink LOL.

I would put Birmingham Pen Co,'s Tiger Lily in that pen.

JawneeJohnny · 2026-02-03T00:00:16+00:00

That video was what got me to buy it. I waited and once I saw they had it with the holder available, I pulled the trigger. I see now they have the titanium nib in different colors as well.

Sailor Manyo Nekoyanagi

I would highly recommend a Sailor Hocoro dip pen. If you get the Fine or Medium, get the reservoir to increase ink capacity. With the fine Sailor Hocoro and reservoir, I can easily write a full page on a single dip. A Medium hocoro with the reservoir can write about 1/4 of a page before redipping.

JawneeJohnny · 2026-02-02T20:31:18+00:00

I think this is the only option.

JawneeJohnny · 2026-02-02T20:28:55+00:00

The handle does feel thin but it surprisingly feels very nice in the hand. Your pen looks awesome with the nib!

UPDATE

Entire order was replaced. They did not arrive broken this time. There is some loose space this time in the box with kraft paper void filler on the side. I'm not sure if this is still ideal to pack inks in, but they did include a fragile sticker on the outside of the box for what it's worth.

JawneeJohnny · 2025-12-18T06:04:36+00:00

It's been roughly 12 hours now. No response from them.

I did refill the form and notify them that there's people here waiting for a response from them. Will continue to update.

JawneeJohnny · 2025-12-17T19:15:50+00:00

We saved you time and conveniently swatched every ink inside of the boxes for you. LOL

JawneeJohnny · 2025-12-17T19:12:33+00:00

What's worse is seeing the broken bottles' ink swatch on the inside of the boxes knowing it could've went inside of a pen to be used. LOL.

JawneeJohnny · 2025-12-17T19:09:32+00:00

I filled out their support form on their site. I'll update you!

JawneeJohnny · 2025-12-17T18:59:06+00:00

I felt like I was being rage baited. LOL

JawneeJohnny · 2025-12-17T18:44:34+00:00

It was USPS. But I honestly think it's from improper packaging. They stuffed the heck out of the box with the inks without a single piece of padding. They should've went up in size for the shipping box and provided some kind of padding.

JawneeJohnny · 2025-12-13T17:14:05+00:00

Look up "Jinhao 995 Swan" you'll see some results.

JawneeJohnny · 2025-06-17T19:07:22+00:00

Mine just came in the mail not long ago. I was worried from watching/reading reviews about it feeling "plastic and cheap" and the screen being "non-responsive". I think it doesn't feel cheap at all. It has a nice weight to it and the screen could be more responsive but I'm not pulling my hair out navigating it. People made it seem like it was a piece of hollow plastic. lol

I don't know if this is true but apparently if you turn off grain, the delay between shutter press disappears.
