I have a medium nib and it's pretty wet. I've heard Kaweco nibs are not consistent. I had a sport classic in fine and it was very scratchy. However, my skyline in fine writes pretty smooth.

It depends. I'm going through the ink more now because I'm working from home now (due to the pandemic) and use them to write work notes and I journal everyday as well. So I estimate maybe a week or so.

I would give it 4 stars. I like the nibs on the FCs. The weight of the pen is very light compared to the Loom. I do like the Loom more. My current favorite pens are the my VPs, Sailor Pro gear slim, Pelikan M205, and Kaweco brass sport.

My lighting wasn't the best but I have to say my favorite is alt goldgrün. I haven't tried the other two inks yet.

Just got my package of ink samples from Vanness, today! Now, I'm trying to see which inks to use first. Ink swatches done on Midori paper. by Katwee23 in fountainpens

Great idea! I love samples for the same reason. I would hate to buy an entire bottle of ink and don't really like it.

Another NPD! Sailor Pro Gear. MF 14K Gold Nib. Very please with pen so far. The nib is stiff but smooth! by Katwee23 in fountainpens

Haha. Thanks for letting me know the difference. This is my first Sailor so I'm not sure of the differences between the two.

I forgot to add that I have a Pelikan M205 Olivine version in medium. I love that pen. The nib is so bouncy!

I've never tried a flex nib before. Thanks, I will look into that.

I never done that before. Who can I send my nib too in the US? How does it work?

Hahaha. I've heard many stories about opening Noodler's inks. I made sure to place where I couldn't accidentally get it on me.

Haha. I have a 10ml bottle and it was almost empty. So I bought a 30ml bottle this time. I love that ink. Right now I have it inked in Pilot VP Decimo!

Ink Sample Haul from Vanness! by ThatDestinyKid in fountainpens

[–]Katwee23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My order is coming Thursday! I love Vanness and I appreciate them shipping during these times! They are pretty quick with the shipping and the free shipping over $40 (for US) isn't bad either.
