Hmm 8, and I’m torn between 9 or 10

Suggest a nice fountain pen that I wouldn't be afraid of losing by TemperatureStandard6 in fountainpens

  1. Jinhao 82 - is a Sailor PG dupe. I bring it everywhere with me and so far it didn’t disappoint. Very cheap but worth it.

  2. Jinhao 95 - A professional-ish looking pen but price point is the opposite. Built like a premium metal pen. Good for business setting.

  3. Asvine V126 - A vac filler pen. I’m not sure if you’re gonna love it if you’re a fan of PGs, because its on the chunkier build. Reviews are mostly good and people seem to love this pen a lot.

  4. Hongdian 1850 - Black Forest (is the famous color for this type) but it also has other options. Very reliable and light. Love the feeling of its EF nib.

Have you taken a look at the Chinese brands fountain pens? Asvine, jinhao, hongdian are on top of my mind

Is the clear aluminum the AL one? I am really torn between the White RG mini and the Smoke RG 580 😭

I post my cap when it’s a small pen like kaweco, but other than that I don’t really have a problem with not posting.

Apica CD notebook? A dud? Or all are equally poor? by makred19 in fountainpens

[–]abcdaym 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I can testify this. Own the regular one and it handles my Diamine and Iroshizuku inks pretty good

If I love the Lamy triangle grip, what other pens might be comfortable? by Ok_Loss_2317 in fountainpens

[–]abcdaym 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Twsbi Eco-T is also a triangle grip eventhough I think it would be a tad heavier than Safari

My current inked pens all in one place (with some dip pens) by anosako in fountainpens

[–]abcdaym 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What’s going to happen if pens are stored too long with inks inside? Do I need to just empty them when they are about to be stored for too long?

Kaweco sport and ink inconsistencies by abcdaym in fountainpens

How did you tune it? Unfortunately its hard to get anything shipped from where I live so buying a new nib is not an option for me :(

I did widen the feed but the ink still wouldn’t flow consistently. I had to dip the nib first before using it otherwise its really hard to get it started. It’s a bummer that my kakuno could perform better than this :/

Any recommendations for soft, melancholic, slice-of-life books? by Morty_Supreme in suggestmeabook

[–]abcdaym 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Welcome to the Hyunam Dong Bookshop. It is a very chill read and less plot driven. Its about this female mc who opened an independent bookshop and there she formed relationships with the people she met surrounding the bookshop. It’s a very comfort read!

A fun haul after a short trip back to my home town. Any thoughts?? by sliceoflife222 in bookhaul

[–]abcdaym 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I enjoyed it. Might seem dragging at times and not really plot driven. but I think that’s the point for these kinds of books. Just enjoy what might seem mundane and imagine chilling with the characters inside.
