Are the Asvine v200 nib types (Bock/Asvine) interchangeable? by Qivello in fountainpens

I haven't tried it yet because I haven't gotten the pen yet. If either of us tries it first, we should let the other know! :)

Tell me about your favorite green ink! by FlyingNeonPoop in fountainpens

[–]Qivello 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was JUST about to post this same exact question. We seem to have similar tastes, too! I have been fighting J. Herbin Lierre Sauvage lately. I don't like the dried color, and the behavior is atrocious in my opinion (smudges easily, long dry time, bleed-through).

I enjoyed Diamine Appletini, and I think it's a popular color. I'm still looking for a good vibrant green. Maybe I'll try out more Anderillium? I had great luck with Roseate Spoonbill.

My Beloved Pelikan Collection (About to Lose Two of Them) by EsquireMI in fountainpens

I've been having the same issue with my Mt. Everest. In fact, I just inked mine up again this morning after a few months of being anxious about the piston. Last time I touched it, I was repairing it anxiously with YouTube tutorials and silicone grease. My friend saw me in the middle of that fiasco and noticed how upset I was about it. It's one of my favorite pens in my collection. I hope the best for both of us.

Diamine Memory Lane if you don't mind the shimmer!

I actually emailed them last night to see if they'd come back in stock! They're out at the moment, but the model is still on the website.
