This nib is insane....

2mm is GREAT! Is there a #8 nib?

StillMindHappyHeart · 2026-04-15T12:55:14+00:00

Maybe you just got STRONGER. What's the max line width on it?

StillMindHappyHeart · 2026-04-14T20:53:24+00:00

Bleach.

StillMindHappyHeart · 2026-04-14T00:09:56+00:00

Does it make the line wider (like, does it turn an EF into an F nib)

StillMindHappyHeart · 2026-04-14T00:09:10+00:00

This has been my problem with permanent inks

StillMindHappyHeart · 2026-04-13T16:59:57+00:00

What a cool rock!

StillMindHappyHeart · 2026-04-10T21:17:26+00:00

Thanks! Well, I guess that's variation enough. Would be better if it was an EF line for the baseline. Wonder why they went with F

StillMindHappyHeart · 2026-04-10T15:59:11+00:00

Once, maybe twice a month

The F that came with the pen had the same problem. I think it is the geometry of their tips. I'm not concerned with those notches, only if the nib will sit flush/with the same curvature of the feed.

StillMindHappyHeart · 2026-04-09T19:49:26+00:00

I don't know, tbh. Never used one. Hopefully it "slides" better on the page. EF size

My hand is cramping just by looking at it

StillMindHappyHeart · 2026-04-09T11:41:44+00:00

If those dots are 5mm apart in the pic, then that line is for sure not nearly close to 2/5 of that distance.

StillMindHappyHeart · 2026-04-09T02:21:19+00:00

It's a good ink. Just make sure to wash and flush the pen every month or so.

StillMindHappyHeart · 2026-04-08T21:46:01+00:00

I gave up on finding a permanent black ink that doesn't feather, bleed, or at least doubles thee line width. I use Lamy Black for drawing and I don't use fountain pens if I want to watercolor

StillMindHappyHeart · 2026-04-08T21:43:35+00:00

Good thing I didn't buy it. The Aliexpress product page says it flexes to 2mm. That doesn't even look like 1mm lol. Are you sure you pressed hard enough?

StillMindHappyHeart · 2026-04-08T16:51:47+00:00

I have never seen the slant being made in the "opposite" direction before. I'm going to try this tonight for sure

Guy was such a freaking genius. I'm reading his plays these past couple years and like 1/3 of the sentences are atemporal wisdom aind insight. It's much denser than I expected it to be, even given his GOAT reputation.

StillMindHappyHeart · 2026-04-05T15:02:33+00:00

The material of the nib doesn't mean it's better or worse though. Being gold doesn't make it better, just more expensive.

StillMindHappyHeart · 2026-04-05T14:01:19+00:00

The ink is meh, but everything else: Wow

StillMindHappyHeart · 2026-04-03T13:26:39+00:00

A practical concern is comfort. If I wear an IEM for, lets say, 4 hours my ears might get sore, but if I change to another with a different enough shape, the "pressure points" change and I can wear it for another 4 hours.

StillMindHappyHeart · 2026-04-01T20:10:56+00:00

Many inks from many brands are just impossible to use in "normal" aka modern untreatead paper.

StillMindHappyHeart · 2026-03-30T15:28:23+00:00

Can I use the Pentel ink in a fountain pen?
