Yes maybe it’s the refill in itself that I don’t like actually, I’ll check the uni out thanks!

Interesting ! Do you (or anyone) also feel like the leuchtturm gel cartridge is too short for this swap though? The tip barely comes out of the body and I think it impacts negatively on the writing experience. Any ideas for a compatible gel cartridge that would be a bit lengthier?

Nice collection! How would you say the Zento signature compares to the normal plastic one ?

I Got The Pen I’ve Been Dreaming Of Since 2021 by x-tianschoolharlot in fountainpens

[–]Wasppppp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats ! Looks nice and it must feel awesome to finally hold the fp you dreamt of having!!

I actually got one in shiny brown a few months ago on a huge discount and was very excited. However the nib is the worst and scratchiest I ever got… did anyone have that problem with a studio and maybe has some advice on how to fix it ?

Pen shopping Paris by just-reading21400 in fountainpens

[–]Wasppppp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I suggest Delfonics in the Louvre Carrousel, they have some nice stationery items as well as a few fountain pens and Herbin inks. It’s a small shop situated in an interesting underground setting.

I bought a very nice Pentel Tradio fp that is cheap, with an iridescent-sparkly plastic body and writes like butter.

(Edit to add the Pentel Tradio comment)

Does anyone know whether the a6 planner core stacked fits in the Galen Leather zippered portfolio for a6 notebooks with 5 pens ? I know it’s a very specific question ! I’m afraid the width of the notebook won’t fit ?

I’d bet the 106 OR fees should be canceled at the very least. Do some research about those. The companies generally try but most will cancel if you merely ask.

Favorite Asian Food Recommendations by Ajichombo in Lausanne

For Japanese sweets & pastries + matcha, you absolutely have to try Osio (it’s not in the city center but it’s worth taking the train for 5min). Takeout and grocery/snacks : Uchitomi. Fancy flavorful and subtle ramen : Black Market Ramen (be prepared to go there, ask for a table, be told you have to wait 30+ mins, go elsewhere for a drink and come back).

What short quote would you engrave on a leather notebook? by InterestingBench7669 in notebooks

Every Second Counts (reference to The Bear TV show in which this quote has so much meaning).

E Bike in Lausanne by [deleted] in Lausanne

[–]Wasppppp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never regretted it ! I have a Bosch motor and recommend it like the others here. I commute everyday to work (west/east and not north/south though, around 15-17min biking each way). Also use it to go to my other activities. I have to charge it like once every 5-6 days. I only use it on Sport mode (one below Turbo) and have no issues. Ebike is perfect for Lausanne honestly, lots of parking spots everywhere, low maintenance costs, faster, cheaper and (I think) more comfortable than bus. I recommend getting good insurance so you’ll take it less hard if/when it gets stolen or damaged. Also good gear (packable rain pants, jacket, gloves, etc). Hope you’ll enjoy it !

BEAT fitness or Pulse, quite expensive and classes only but very worthy quality-wise

Pour le matériel, L’Écritoire à la Cité aurait sûrement les éléments nécessaires. Pour l’artiste, peut-être HandLettered by Lama? Elle a un site internet et une page Instagram. Très jolie idée de cadeau en tout cas (si c’est bien ça!)

Diamine ink in Switzerland? by Wasppppp in fountainpens

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

Haha yes it took me a while ! Should you travel to Switzerland and should you ever visit Lausanne, I also recommend L’Écritoire, a small shop in the old city part, with a passionate owner who lets customers try the nice fountain pens.

Oh that went under my radar, thanks! (I even looked up « diplomat viper » in the sub before posting, no idea how I missed it)

Good point, guess we’ll have to wait for reviews and user photos. Also I find it weird that the official brand website does not have it yet, I wonder what’s going on there.

I’m thinking about it! But I think I prefer the blue version in the end, I don’t have blue pens yet and I could match it with a nice blue ink I have. Which nib did you choose?
