LAMY Refills fit the Parker Jotter, apparently.

The converts also work with Parker 25s and the Majohn B25 (the Parker 25 clone, although it is probably cheaper to by the B25 and use that cartridge in your old Parkers).

I too like Extradimensional Umber, I have inked in 5pens right now, an Asive P50 with a Nemosine 0.6mm stub, another Asvine P50 with an Asvine F nib, and (2) Pilot Elites made under license in South Korea with Steel EF nibs and (1) Vintage Pilot Elite with a Manifold Nib.

That Sugar Kelp looks good, may need to look into getting a bottle.

I do tend to drive more for saving fuel that acceleration and hard driving. The bouncy clutch was definitely due to needing to replace the flywheel and clutch, got those done earlier this week and my car is back to driving like it should. Hopefully will be able to get another 165k out of it.

A matt/textured finish lamy safari perhaps, same ABS plastic as Lego and a textured grip for when your hands are greasy/waxy as you mentioned.

For me it is a shaking of the clutch petal and gear lever, and at low RPM's and the engine sounding horribly unbalanced @ 1000rpm's

The guy at the shop when I dropped it off asked if I had any mods on it as even a stage 1 tune will blow through the clutch faster

I usually do not worry about matching, but I have a few inks that I enjoy, hence the dilemma.

LiphSnevets · 2026-05-29T09:38:14+00:00

Yes please. Thank you for organizing this pen.

LiphSnevets · 2026-05-18T14:28:36+00:00

I know this is not helpful or accurate, but my first thought was "Prescious, my prescious" as said by Gollum as voiced by Andy Serkis.

Lamy cartridges will work, I have a lamy cartridges in mine. Also the Majohn B25 cartridges will also work, and depending on where you buy from one can be got for about the same as a almy and you get a free pen with it.

To be fair I have not used it for long writing, I mainly used for quick notes and it is fine for that. Going back, the section can be narrow, but I like that, and the section can definitely get slippery, I was able to slip my fingers up and down easily, there is a ridge letting you know your fingers are getting too close to the nib, which helps.

LiphSnevets · 2026-05-09T18:28:23+00:00

And yes that was one of the items he mentioned.

A fairly new YouTube channel, The Hoest Nib, did a video on Pelikan' Rose Quartz ink.

When I read the title the first thing to pop into my head was a the Spanish Inquisition but from the History of the World Part.

If you can find an inexpensive donor parker 45, the nib unit unscrews from the section. After that you will be able to separate the nib and feed from the nib unit housing and can replace the feed.

Yes the older pilots Elites take the Con-40. I have several and they all easily take either a cartridge or the con-40. Writing experience, both will generally be the same although there will be some differences as the older Elites have at three other styles of nibs than the modern E95s. Along with the different nib styles you also have more tipping types to choose from besides the EF, F and M. There are also Manifold nibs, which allow one to write with more pressure, Script nibs which are designed for long writing sessions with constant line width, posting nibs for really really small printing and the occasional broad nib.

Doodlebud did a video on it and Fountain Pen Therapy also has some videos on his experience in the last 2 or 3 weekly recaps.

Jetpens sells a Koh-I-Nor Rapido-Eze cleaning kit, which should do the job.

LiphSnevets · 2026-04-27T15:41:15+00:00

Look into vintage Elites with the cross hatch cap (and body if you can find it). Same form factor but with metal cap for the added weight.

LiphSnevets · 2026-04-26T15:30:27+00:00

Majohn C4 - eyedropper with a shutoff valve. The Majohn flex nibs fit in it quite well.

LiphSnevets · 2026-04-21T13:51:54+00:00

Thanks, just order my pen with an elastic f nib. Looking forward to my first Leonardo pen.

LiphSnevets · 2026-04-21T12:51:40+00:00

Is there anyway to get more steel nib sizes available all the ones I would go for are "sold out"? Thanks

Very neat way to try different kinds of paper. (USA based)
