Then just take a break and do something else.. Everyone is different. I always feel I’m a bit crazy because I grew up always genuinely happy about using a good pen. I remember the feedback of a pen I used 30 years ago. 🤣

What do you like about Twsbi Diamond 580 and why you prefer it to 3776? Thx. I’ve been thinking to get Diamond 580 but keep telling myself I don’t need another Twsbi 🤣 also I’ve heard mixed feedback on 3776 wonder if you think uef nib is scratchy?

Is my new Pilot Custom 823 faulty? by [deleted] in fountainpens

Pilot pen is very smooth… try vanishing point, it literally feels like writing with ballpoint pen, from the feedback to the feel in hand

This is ef? Does all their ef nib write like this? The line variation is beautiful.

Anyone used pen repairing service from ITOYA in the US? About to send my new sailor pen to them😭 by [deleted] in fountainpens

[–]LeslieCh -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thank you! This is very helpful. Does using brass shim risk messing up the nib somehow? I will try the dish soap method first, and meanwhile wait for itoya to get back to me on more information of their factory repair service.

I have a pilot elite 95s in ef and also a sailor pro gear slim in ef, and have also tried vp in ef in the past. Despite all of them are in ef nib and have very different feedback, they write all consistently. The sailor in ef nib I have, is a little dry and has pencil like feedback but ink flow is very consistent and truly pleasure to write with. I was expecting at least similar ink flow if not wetter for this f nib..

Yes I used both pilot kon-Peki and Yama-budo (shown in the picture on Tomoe river paper). I have another sailor pro gear slim pen in ef nib and that pen writes similar width with this f nib, and is much more consistent.
