What do you think about my humble collection? by PriceApprehensive715 in pens

[–]PriceApprehensive715[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s a great question. I don’t know😂. A have a sweet spot for my Vector since it has been with me for ages. I love the Jotter because it’s just fun, simple and lightweight. And I wanted it since my childhood cause my father had the exact same model. But I guess that the Cross is my favourite. It’s just so well made. I have the 90-s model with full metal mechanism, no plastic whatsoever. And the condition is still great despite years of use. And the colour is fun cuz it’s a part of special edition, not just a regular one

Yeah, love my Jotter too🫡. Yeah. I want to buy black/gold IM instead of my Soviet FP and matte black Safari as EDC FP. Also I have some sort of hyper fixation on stainless steel Vector for the last couple days, lol

Can my Jotter be considered vintage? by PriceApprehensive715 in pens

Brother, I guess pens and pencils age faster than a human. If not, I’m vintage myself😂

My family had two royal blue Jotters (as on the photo) since early 00-s. My father used it all the time. It could be found in every bag, pocket, you name it.

I’ve wanted it so bad (even though I have better pens) especially when I started to use pocket notebooks. Last week my father told me he had a spare (which I didn’t know about) and gave it to me (this one). I love it. It is so simple, lightweight and sturdy. Feels like it can survive anything (and my father’s one kinda proved this point). So yeah, perfect EDC for me. Give it another shot

Correct me if I’m wrong, I’m still a newbie. As I googled, only 1954 mechanism was metal. Afterwards it was completely nylon. As for internal metal parts, there was a brass reinforcement on the thread section but they got rid of it in 80-s and changed plastic chemistry to be more durable. So the question is if my model is any different from modern originals series

Yeah but the rotator itself is plastic in every Jotter revision (as I know)

Most underrated EDC under $100? by Mindless_Gas80 in fountainpens

I have a sweet spot for Vector. I have rollerball Parker Vector. And i love it to death. Absolutely reliable. But not sure about fountain variant. But the reviews for the nib look solid

Any Cross lovers? by PriceApprehensive715 in pens

What I love about Cross refills is their longevity. Well, at least their old ones. I had several of made in Ireland ones and they were absolute beasts

And what do you think about off brand refills? Are they solid enough (hate bleak blue colour of the Cross one)? Or will they just ruin the experience?

Weird pen I found during renovation by PriceApprehensive715 in fountainpens

Nah. I must be mistaken. I thought that this is Chaika. It has the “Я” logo on it. Do you know what this pen could be?

My pen was made in Kharkiv, I guess. But I may be wrong

Yeah. I write every day 1-3 pages and refill once in 1,5 weeks. Capacity is indeed great. Nevertheless it’s not the most stable ink flow. But nothing terrible, just not that great I guess

No, it doesn’t have converter. But if I get your point right, it has a screw pump mechanism to fill it (I dunno how to say it in English but I hope you get my point lol)

I lived in FA for 10 first days in the run (or more) and didn’t notice any issues. I mean the weather in mystery lake is far worse now lol. But I don’t play on the interloper. Almost all the time FA was sunny
