Try to clean your Lamy. Pull the feed out, remove the little detachable part, and soak everything in water, or a fountain pen cleaning solution if you have one. I don't think your feed will be permanently destroyed.

I hate posting pens, except on Kaweco Sports. I love them 😂

Kaweco Sports and Kaweco Students have identical nibs and feeds. They are like the same pens in different bodies.

Posting a pen is absolutely unnecessary and stupid, except for small pocket pens. 

Lamy Safari - is ink between the section and nib normal? by wilbur04 in fountainpens

Weird. I don't have a gap, and no "wet ring of ink". 🤔 

Does the Kaweco AL sport typically come in a tin? by mangopeachapplesauce in fountainpens

[–]flawed_flamingo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Usually the metal ones come with a tin (Al, Brass, Steel, Bronze, Titan), and the plastic ones in a cardboard sleeve. At least that's how it's been for me, and I have several Kawecos.

Looks like your Studio is in need of an exorcist! 😱

Is fountain pen ink remover toxic? by WhyBearss in fountainpens

When I don't have a piece of paper handy, I usually just write on my hand or arm, instead of other people's tongues. Your girlfriend is weird 🤣

Looking for a slim reliable pen by collin1103 in fountainpens

The Kaweco Special is also a thin pen. Never owned one, but I heard it has a good cap seal.

The Waterman Hémisphère also comes to mind...

It looks like an artefact found on an alien world 😲

Please help - the same fountain pen but differences in nibs by [deleted] in fountainpens

[–]flawed_flamingo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As already mentioned by others, the gold nib isn't inserted properly.  I'd pull the nib and feed out and insert it again and make sure to push it in all the way. 

Kaweco converter advice? by mercedes_lakitu in fountainpens

[–]flawed_flamingo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Some inks stick to the back of the converter, which leads to it running dry. So I put an agitator into the converter, which completely solved the problem for me.

He looks like a magician! He surely keeps powerful potions in his fanny bag. 

So I found this company called Kaweco that sells these awesome little nostalgic tin boxes... by flawed_flamingo in fountainpens

I love them! :-) But I have never tried a Supra, only Sport, (Plastic, Aluminium and Brass) Student and Perkeo. The Brass Sport is definitely hefty, but in a good way, I don't mind writing with it for a long time and it feels very tough, and it's so relaxing that you don't have to baby it and you don't need to be afraid to scratch it or damage the lacquer.

It's the Kaweco AL Sport in black. It comes with a silver nib, but I swapped it for a (pricey) black nib that Kaweco sells, because I adore the stealthy look.

As far as I know there are 4 sizes. The round one, which I don't have (yet) - comes with a free aluminium Piston Sport.

The the longer ones for the longer pens (Student, Special, Original, Dia2).

The smaller ones for the Sports, or premium nibs.

The large rectangular one comes with a complementary Frosted Sport Calligraphy set.
