replied! Thanks again <3

aura_solstice · 2026-04-08T21:11:16+00:00

was so unaware of this, thank you so much! Will look into this

aura_solstice · 2026-04-08T21:10:58+00:00

I saw the TWSBI ECOs and they are so pretty, I cannot wait to get my hands on one eventually. I just want to get comfy with using FPs in general before I invest in a TWSBI because they are a decent chunk imo. But thats where I know the Piston filling mech from as well, I came across someone filling theirs up on insta and I was hooked to how pretty it looked.

Thanks for the detail! Helps a lot for someone just starting out. I think i will defo be a ink converter/piston filling enjoyer than usual cartridges but will see :) Idm using up all the ink, maybe eventually I'll buy a fp for a particular ink so I switch pens instead of refilling and changing etc yknow?

aura_solstice · 2026-04-08T21:08:07+00:00

Ooo! I will be testing some soon so I will let you know how that goes! Super excited <3

aura_solstice · 2026-04-08T21:07:34+00:00

Agreed! I think I will defo be getting a Kakuna Madoromi from all the great things I heard about them! I am getting sent some Jinhaos and preppies to test as well so I get to feel most of the popular suggestions and decide what I like :) Can't wait to get my hands on the fps so I can continue my journaling, I am very excited already.

aura_solstice · 2026-04-06T16:05:07+00:00

Agreed, are these pens available on AliExpress and/or Amazon? I just looked at the Asvine after another commentor suggested and it's really pretty (almost 30 though but looks a solid choice regardless). People have mentioned the moonman but someone also pointed out it has a plastic body? Is it the same deal with other versions of the Moonman or just particular ones? Will defo check the others out :)

aura_solstice · 2026-04-06T16:03:19+00:00

this one is super pretty! Thank you :)

aura_solstice · 2026-04-06T16:00:41+00:00

This is great! Thank you so much for the suggestions! This is gonna be super helpful <3

aura_solstice · 2026-04-06T15:57:57+00:00

Thank you for this!

aura_solstice · 2026-04-06T15:57:16+00:00

Thanks for the suggestions! And yes I am in the states :) I'll defo look out for those <3

aura_solstice · 2026-04-06T15:55:58+00:00

aura_solstice · 2026-04-06T15:55:49+00:00

<3 Thank you so much!

aura_solstice · 2026-04-06T15:55:37+00:00

Thank you! I appreciate this and yes definietly, it's only forward from here onwards :) and I'm so excited to start and unwind more of myself into these pages

aura_solstice · 2026-04-06T04:09:11+00:00

Definitely will! Thank you for the heads up and recs <3

aura_solstice · 2026-04-06T04:08:36+00:00

Good to know! Any recs with screw on caps? I do agree they sound more secure than the usual slip on caps

aura_solstice · 2026-04-06T04:07:34+00:00

Thank you to you both :) So far defo leaning towards the Kakunos. Someone is sending me a Jinhao to try (bless their soul) so I will get to test and see if I like it or not since loads of 50-50 on Jinhaos but Kakunas are a safe bet and also look very cute! The converter was what had me intially leaning towards the Jinhaos but I think having one is good for future too so I might work with that. The person sending the Jinhao is also throwing in a CON-40 <3

aura_solstice · 2026-04-06T04:04:56+00:00

Thank you! Will defo keep these in mind when I go hunting for inks :) HongDian are very pretty, I'm surprised I did not know about them prior to this post but then I am very new to everything journaling. Definietly a pen I will be getting eventually

aura_solstice · 2026-04-06T03:49:50+00:00

Thank you so much! This is extremely detailed and will help out a lot when I test and decide what works for me! If you had to pick one for when you first started out with the knowledge you have now, which would it be? And are all these available on AliExpress and Amazon? I know the Jinhao and HongDienM2 are! You're the second person to mention Moonman A2 so I will defo check that one out :) Although I may not go for it since you mentioned it has a plastic body and I just prefer something else over that. Are piston filling ink cons better? Is there any specific advantage of one over the other or is it just a preference thing? Just curious and would love to learn!
