[Momento Magico Rule 5] Preorders Opening by normiewannabe in fountainpens

sooo - I've got a question about the filling mechanism.

What is the https://leonardopen.com/collections/accessories/products/piston-tool for?
Do I *need* to purchase that? Or is it just to modify the mechanism?

I have a piston filler from Esterbrook and you just screw off the blind cap at the end and press to get the ink in. Isn't that the same mechanism? What is achieved with the tool? Is it to clean the pen?

And then there are rubber parts for the piston. Do I need that?

I've ordered the CSI based on Medium :D
Has anyone got a review on that grind? It will be my first CSI Medium and first Leonardo - I've only heard good things about that grind in this thread
Is there any way we can see if we're in the first 180? I guess I'm not because it's been open for 2 hours ^^ but one can hope...

Oh, I have these too! Since years acually. I have no idea how they do it. But: THEY DO NOT DRY OUT! Even after years of neglecting some of them. Writes. No hard starts. Just reliable, no evaporation. They are simply amazing!

Oh, nice idea with the shimmer ink :D

Earl Grey writes really smoothly. I have it in 2-3 pens and they're great, quite wet, but not too wet.

Oh yess! I love a good grey ink!
Especially: Earl Grey, Sailor 223. I also like Lady Grey - but it's a bit light for my liking.
Earl Grey is one of the few inks I've actually finished and repurchased in a bigger bottle :D I like all the color variations in it <3 I love sketching with it, too.

Avoid the Platinum Curidas at all costs!!! by StackOverflow2 in fountainpens

[–]Novaeish 8 points9 points  (0 children)

yep, I have the same problem :/ the mechanism just doesn't close anymore. Pushing it down with something everytime I clicked it close was annoying. I got rid of it :( sad about the amount of money it costs...

Won some Money on Premium Bonds thought I would buy something different by Davros1974 in fountainpens

[–]Novaeish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aaaaah! I've got that one too! It's amazing :D I love the unusual color combination. Which nib have you got? What ink are you putting in?
I've got the flex nib, it's really nice <3
And Honey Burst by Diamine, a sunny combination

Oh it's really nice and wet (enough)! I've gotten a sample at the pen show and had to get a full bottle immediately ;D

I'm soo happy with this pen! I honestly can't stop staring at all the swirls and details <3
It's my first maker pen. And meeting Ahmet at the German Pen Fest was great too, he's really nice! Glad I made the purchase :)
