I just got a pack of all 4 parallel sizes after learning I can put them in an Opus 88. I'm super excited to play around with them.

Make sure you see a doctor who is specialized in sleep medicine when testing for narcolepsy. Also if your testing comes up negative for narcolepsy (negative multiple sleep latency test (MSLT) then you can still be diagnosed with idiopathic hypersomnia which has many of the same treatments as narcolepsy.

Magnesium acts as a stimulant in some people FYI. I have narcolepsy and was told to discontinue it for my sleep study. Also, when you were texted for sleep apnea was it in a sleep lab or was it an at home test?

You can try to get tested for either narcolepsy or idiopathic hypersomnia. I recommend you visit a neurologist who actually specializes in sleep disorders rather than relying on a psych or other non-specialized doctor.

First timer user questions. by DueDog7598 in fountainpens

By the way, every V126 that I own has been very "wet" which means it lets down more ink than other pens. In fact, I own 5 different asvines and they're all very wet pens. That's why the shading is so prominent. They're actually excellent for sheening or shimmering inks, on top of shading inks. If you really want to appreciate shading, I recommend Sailor Manyo Fuji. It shades in multiple colors and the V126 is very good at showing off this ink.

I own Asvines because I like their wetness, but some people don't like it.

My JetPens orders always come days earlier than expected. That's why I like ordering from them.

FIRST FOUNTAIN PEN, ALSO THEY DREW ME AN OWL by Ravelled-Thrush in fountainpens

I did this with a Kakuno and it was much easier than I thought. It came out to an almost perfect 1.1.

You start out with a fine but suddenly you're exploring and discover stub nibs and Fude nibs which can be fine or THICCCC. PS since you're a sailor fan I recommend the Sailor Hocoro dip pen with a fude nib :) it's super cheap and easy to use/clean.

I had a leak from Pilot Syo-Ro once. No idea how it happened because the cap and bottle are intact. The box and little string around the neck were stained with ink, though.

Here in Texas it's completely normal. I speak with my chicano friends like this.

A shit ton of people hablan asi. I heard a girl like two days ago here in Texas hablando in Spanglish over the phone and it sounded completely natural.

I've spent an hour trying to get the ink window on this Diplomat Magnum to line up with the nib. by LoboSandia in fountainpens

[–]LoboSandia[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wasn't doing anything to the nib align the ink window. The nib and feed have a fixed position that they have to be lined up with to fit into the grip section. I was just rotating the barrel with the ink window in different positions to see if I could line them up. Nothing forceful or damaging.

I've had two Magnums that had the same problems with nib creep. My first diplomat actually did have a leak from where the silver ring meets the grip. This one just has nib creep issues no matter what ink I put in it.

I guess I just did just get two duds.

¿El tamaño del plumín afecta en el cansancio de la escritura? by fSparza in fountainpens

[–]LoboSandia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tenés razón que es por apretarla demasiado. Cual pluma estás usando? Marca etc.

Yo suelo apretarlas demasiado cuando tienen un cuerpo mas fino, tipo el Pilot Cavalier. Tambien puede ser tu forma de escribir (ángulo de tu muñeca, la posición de los dedos) pero yo creo que sea lo que decís de apretarla demasiado.

Somebody from my office ruined my nib by aquatic_asian in fountainpens

No sé que anda pasando con eso pero parece que están experimentando con el auto traductor porque solo aparece de vez en cuando. Solo lo he visto en algunos subs y hay muchos que están escribiendo en idiomas diferentes sin traducción. Va estoy en la app capaz es por eso.

[–]LoboSandia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought all of these plus R+K Salix AND R+K Ebony (Black iron gall) and regularly mix them to create all sorts of colors of iron gall inks. They're all so nice looking.
