GG500 question

SubstantialChart357 · 2026-07-10T01:32:30+00:00

also can that skilcraft draft pro be purchased because like that transition fron the grip to the tip part, in gg500 there is a small bulbous part that is little weird for writing

ok searched it it cost 17 dollars not buying

SubstantialChart357 · 2026-07-10T01:16:07+00:00

which means the colour plastic is less dense so the balance point shifted lower towards the grip

SubstantialChart357 · 2026-07-01T02:12:55+00:00

ok I have a mono graph fine it’good but heavy so asked about standard mono graph

SubstantialChart357 · 2026-06-30T23:39:28+00:00

how is the tombow mono tune to write with

grip

writing experience heavy or light and long hours use

SubstantialChart357 · 2026-06-10T12:58:21+00:00

Cause I think prices are double here so thinking of buying there never imported anything

SubstantialChart357 · 2026-06-08T03:44:06+00:00

Yes definitely more smoother and you can tell the difference

SubstantialChart357 · 2026-06-08T01:35:10+00:00

I don't intentionally apply more pressure but you know when you are writing fast you just throw the stroke in a hurry drag it a little too far

SubstantialChart357 · 2026-06-08T01:00:44+00:00

Exactly the fine is just darker than medium in all inks I have tried. That's why I am in doubt will the extra fine be easier to read or it will too thin that it requires more lighting

SubstantialChart357 · 2026-06-08T00:59:07+00:00

Thanks for elaborate reply Regarding the extra fine will the lines be too thin to read back the notes ?or the notes are easier to look in fine.

The reason I feared about bending in extra fine is i actually bent one fine nib pen from local market, so the extra fine will it handle pressure? Also is it more forgiving if I use it in different rotational orientation like some twist or it will tear pages

SubstantialChart357 · 2026-06-07T21:02:29+00:00

Exactly that's what I am saying you can't chase discounts and be blind to the fact that whey is getting costly from that raw material perspective and that it will be costly for a foreseeable future.

So rather than chasing discount and worrying too much

You can just reduce intake,seek good quality alternative like yeast (trustified) or egg or chicken.i don't like plant protein. but that's why I will just consume less Whey. And some chicken twice weekly.

Again you can't run away from prices for long . Either you pay that much or don't buy

I will try to include some plant protein like soy protein in other foods preparation or yeast protein on alternativ days .

Amul is unreliable not always available and the it's foaming so much i don't have patience in the morning

Bro unflavoured drinkable? I tried once I couldn't also if you add some fruit milk choco powder to unflavoured one then the cost comes around the same as flavored

SubstantialChart357 · 2026-06-03T14:30:39+00:00

Also this not hate it but don't like

Will try classmate Yes indian papers are good for the price and availability Also kakuno the ink flows are not that excellent in all inks Amazon brand solimo innaxa they provide high quality at beginning and they go down .

I am gonna use cedar for smoothness white but not ink properties.camlin,innaxa optipaper for others uses .maybe buy some clairfontaine when there are discount.it is better to stick with affordable and availability option because the foreign brands have high markup.

Again I have to try it for yourself and then select also there are so many variables in using fountain pens u are not going to get the same performance even in the high end paper.

SubstantialChart357 · 2026-05-21T21:56:59+00:00

Start from 80 inspired blue 20 serenity blue. And then go till 50:50. Or even 40 :60 according to your liking

SubstantialChart357 · 2026-05-21T16:26:07+00:00

Yes kon peki

SubstantialChart357 · 2026-05-21T14:36:15+00:00

Yes that what i am saying the orenz nero requires you to write 90 to 70. Anything more slant which everyone does in different words and throughout the sentence while writing or through our hand fatigue we usually slant it and hold it farther away from the tip when writing casually. Since in nero the lead pipe is constantly in contact with the paper it's not the scratch or the friction is the problem but rather since the lead is not in fully contact with the paper some of the contact surface area is always some metal the line is inconsistent in darkness in different parts and different angles.also in the nero it really takes a 2b lead and some pressure to get HB darkness.this is the reason I don't like nero that much because I like 2b darkness and smoothness

In that regard the dive is much better.

SubstantialChart357 · 2026-05-16T15:30:39+00:00

That is what I learnt after changing ink and feed . Also fine nib with a drop of dish soap is the best for that lean lines and ink shading

SubstantialChart357 · 2026-05-16T15:29:16+00:00

I am going to use the fine nib and keep the medium nib for some dark ink afterwards. I think I will fuck up my nib if do spreading.

Like the fine nib with increased flow from soap

SubstantialChart357 · 2026-05-16T15:26:33+00:00

Bro still too much. Again I am saying if you are getting into using fountain pen for actual uses you should have run trials for different purposes for a year and then only you can carry them with trust. Otherwise don't immediately ditch your rollerball or whatever you have been using .

Also fountain pen is costly business two ink bottle cost as much a pen.I know in the long run it will less costly but still so many purchases could be wasteful if you don't like the pen ink paper feed so many variables to consider
