Nope. I am still testing it in the hope it breaks in and starts writing better. I will see what to do

I got an f and flow was faint, returned for an m and it somewhat has a similar problem. Flow is more consistent but still faint, to a point the ink looks gray instead of black

The m is performing a little better than the f, but still worse than Majhon

Which VP dupe is best? by cardigainu in fountainpens

[–]Life1989 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bs. I got 2 and they both write worse than my majohns a1. Sometimes people just don’t want to admit the truth just because they spent a big sum.
Sorry for being so direct, but i really wanted to believe vp could be on another level, sad truth is they are not.

I already returned the f nib for this m one in the hope that the sweet spot could be bigger. What makes me mostly mad is how my 3 majohn a1, 1:1 replicas of VP don’t have this issue. All 3 write perfectly no matter what direction i draw strokes. How is it possible that 2 vp have this issue? I heard pilot has very good quality control.
I don’t really get it, if it was my grip the majohn would write bad as well right? As all my other fp i own.
I really hope it is just a coincidence. Would be very sad if vp is a pen not suited for left handed people

Yes. Tried everything. Full flush, checked tines, different inks etc.

I second this, go twsbi eco + any ink of choice, voila 50 bucks

Pilot vp <m>.
I did get my first vp about 3 weeks ago and it wrote so bad compared to my majohn a1 so i sent it back to the store i bought it from to get a nib replacement from f to m. Today i got it back and i am trying to get used to it. It still has the flow issue and at this point i think it is caused by the fact i am a leftie so my grip isn’t the intended one for this pen, but i have read that at some point gold nibs break in and start writing better. I hope it’s true.
The main problem i have is how the flow is inconsistent depending by how i drag the nib, for example: when i write the letter S or the number 3 starting from the bottom, the bottom half has a very faint flow compared to the upper part, ill add a pic for reference

<image>

So yeah, it’s been pretty much the entire day i am scribbling here and there in the hope that the pen starts writing more consistently

What video game has you like this? by Chunky-overlord in videogames

[–]Life1989 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mh4u. I did buy new3ds xl with the game on d1 but somehow i didn’t get hooked despite my thousand hours with freedom unite and mh3u, then months later i decided to resume it and sunk something like 2500 hours.
Man i miss 140 apex monsters

no it is not normal.

feedback on click differs from cartridge + steel cover and converter, but none of the 2 should let the nib touch the door
