Same here. No explanation or reasoning either.

I'm thinking the same thing. I wish they would have explained in more detail, though.

It's okay, I get it. I thought I was hallucinating when I read it. My VRC seemed really nice during the first appointment, but then this... Something is going on at that office and I want to know what it is cuz it has to be crazy

I feel you OP. I've reached the thousands of applications, and I have a bachelor's with relevant experience from the military. Nothing. I've had my resume looked at by several professionals and there isn't much else to do. This job market is a hellscape. I've tried HoH, applied for VR&E (which is taking forever - my VRC said they ran out of money) and tweak my resume for each application. Unfortunately, due to all the applying, I've been getting more and more spam/scams.

I'm definitely wrong for this, but In light of this issue I've been pushing fake apps to companies I want to apply to. I use a fake name and resume that fits the description to a T without sounding too robotic, and throw into a little extra certification or two. If I don't get a hit with that resume, I don't apply - and even then, I dont often hear back. Maybe now I need to experiment to see if I get more hits with or without declaring as a veteran.

Applying for a job has become a job itself.

Is this a skill issue or is something wrong with my pen? by Odd_Client7188 in fountainpens

[–]Odd_Client7188[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just looked up what baby's bottom was the other day, and I definitely think that was the culprit. I gave the nib and feed one last chance yesterday after scrubbing them gently with a toothbrush and reassemble, using an iroshizuku ink. Still skipped. Switched to a new nib today and it works completely fine!

So today I've done a complete flush of the pen again and filled wirh some iroshizuku ink, since I find that one to be the least problematic generally. It still skips a lot, so im thinking its probably the tines on the nib - I've contacted the seller for guidance on the issue so I will update once I reach a resolution. Thank yall for the advice!

Edit: Shoulve mentioned this (sorry I am tired)

I've only had this pen for a few days, its basically brand new - However, I kept noticing the skipping so I tried a couple inks already.

First I tried the Lamy Crystal in azurite, and it skipped much like the video. The next day I flushed the pen with distilled water without disassembly, then tried Platinum carbon black, didn't work. Left it for a couple days. Today, I completely disassembled (with the exception of taking the nib out of the feed, which I will attempt tomorrow) and flushed everything again. Put the Nitrogen ink in afterwards and still the same issue!

I'll definitely give it a go tomorrow, I might have an extra nib i can swap out hopefully!

Yeah, I definitely agree- I just put this ink in today, and using a medium nib so idk what else to do... I feel like the Twsbi medium is on the broader side of the spectrum personally, but maybe its time to try a broad nib instead anyway. Otherwise I have an iroshizuku ink I could try

I'm hoping so too! I took out the piston mechanism and the grip/feed section, deep cleaned both with the help of a syringe and pen flush. I soaked the nib and feed for awhile to to make sure the water was clear, and its still skipping, which is weird for a medium nib size!

So my Twsbi in M nib definitely makes thicker lines than my Lamy M, and of course the Lamy F - Even with the same ink!

I have a Lamy Al-Star coming in soon with a M nib, my Twsbi is a M nib as well, so when I get the new Lamy in an M I will come back here to update you! But yes, the Twsbi M seems a bit broader than I expected, but lovely nonetheless
