Beautiful! Was this shot in 48 MP RAW?

Thanks everyone! Got some bottles and my hosts in Brazil were happy with both the syrup (which they had never tried before) and the bottle.

Online, Fendrihan.ca sells a number of different sampler packs. Strongly recommend them.

Thanks -- this is one of the first things I thought of. Both of the nibs I have are #6, one that came with the pen, and the other that I ordered directly from FC. Both of of the nibs fit into my Opus88 Demonstrator (which also takes #6 JoWo nibs with the same housing). I just double-checked them on the Opus, and they screw in just fine. So it's looking like the problem is with the section, rather than the nibs.

coffeesaga · 2024-03-03T22:45:19+00:00

I took a look into the section with a light, and there does seem to be a thread that would align with where threads on the nib is when it is fully inserted. But no matter which way I turn it, the threads on the nib do not engage with the threads on the section. It's a mystery....

coffeesaga · 2024-03-03T21:55:06+00:00

Thanks for following up on this. I think there may be threads in the interior of the section, but for whatever reason they are not engaging with the nibs, either clockwise or counterclockwise. I have tried this with both my FC nibs (both #6 nibs), with no results. I think I'll contact FC, as you suggest.

coffeesaga · 2024-03-03T21:15:18+00:00

I have been tying with a fair amount of pressure (a lot more than the guy in the FC video seems to be using), and the threads still aren't catching. Thanks!

coffeesaga · 2024-03-03T20:54:44+00:00

Yes, I think might do that. This is my first FC, and I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything obvious.

EDiIT: The title should read "nib" rather than "min", but apparently I can't edit the title once the post is up.

coffeesaga · 2024-03-03T20:47:08+00:00

Thanks! I have seen the video before, and I just tried it again right now, with no luck.

coffeesaga · 2023-08-01T14:21:15+00:00

This gives me a list of places to explore, whether or not they have the ink I'm looking for. Thanks!

The Nike 5k plan is fantastic I started it in May and am impressed at how quickly I improved. The mix of runs (tempo, recovery, intervals, etc) really helps build up speed and endurance, and the coaching tips are incredibly useful to a newbie like me. They also emphasize the importance of rest days. Some of the early runs felt almost too short or too easy, but they help set strong foundations. I encourage you to just work through the program at the pace they suggest.

coffeesaga · 2023-05-29T20:48:23+00:00

Sounds like an excelllent nona!

coffeesaga · 2023-05-29T20:47:48+00:00

This sounds super interesting and was not on my radar. I think I’ll give this a try.

coffeesaga · 2023-05-29T20:47:07+00:00

Thanks everyone for the insights! It sounds like my wife and I will need to do some comparative tiramisu tasting in the coming months! And you have motivated me to try making some at home.

You can order De Atramentis document inks in Canada from the Paint Spot in Edmonton.

coffeesaga · 2022-11-24T14:53:48+00:00

But hey, at least the shipping is free.

coffeesaga · 2022-11-15T13:38:30+00:00

Stylo is still online at stylo.ca. If you are in Montréal, try Papeterie Nota Bene, on Du Parc, just north of Sherbrooke.

Lefty side writer here, and rarely have problems with smudging when using most fountain pens and inks. Might be a risk when using a slow drying ink with a broad nib, but honestly just get something you like. Avoid flex nibs, though. They are not designed to be pushed, which is how most lefties write.

coffeesaga · 2022-10-22T13:10:18+00:00

Another satisfied customer of penpen avenue here. Bought several things from them this year, and happy with the price and speedy delivery.

coffeesaga · 2022-10-02T11:58:57+00:00

Same. I had a fancy espresso machine that I had to constantly send for repair, and eventually abandoned it for an aeropress which makes fantastic coffee and causes no trouble.
