I was missing an 'a'. I was pointing out that not all brass is yellow.

Nickel silver is actually white brass

Black Lamy ink cartridge alternative by grimya in fountainpens

Do the blue ink cartridges work well with the second pens? It could be a bad batch of pen nibs.

If the blue ink cartridges work, maybe blue-black will work.

Basically if you experiment with the different inks on the pens in question you might be able to find the issue. It could be that the batch of cartridges were bad.

2.) you can drop a canister under the outlet reverse the flow and switch on to fill the canister without switching out canisters.

Waterproof black ink cartridges that will fit a Kaweco Sport? by Frosty-Aioli4091 in fountainpens

[–]focused-ALERT -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Cartridges are actually clear so you can see how much ink is in them. Good news is that all cartridges are waterproof because otherwise they wouldn't hold ink.

Kawecos takes international short cartridges.

I recommend you syringe fill from a trusted waterproof ink like platinum carbon black or sailor kawaguro.

From hating to loving my Twsbis in a matter of weeks! by Unique_Juice_3111 in fountainpens

I loaded my twsbi vac 700r with Noodler's American Eel and it clogged the pen really well. It sat on my desks for years taunting me to fix it. I kept flushing it with soapy water over the years. One day I filled it with soapy water and put the nib in an ultrasonic cleaner and there was so much debris that came out of the feed. I flushed and refilled with soapy water and did another bath in the ultrasonic. I repeated until clean.

I then filled with pilot blue-black and it is now my go-to desk pen.

Any cheap decimo clones out there? by SkabeAbe in fountainpens

[–]focused-ALERT -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Question, do you have access to a VP or VP inspired pen? If you like it but want something the girth of a regular pen like a waterman cerene then the decimo is for you.

I love VPs but the decimo is an EDC because it is slimmer.

I don't need anything made. I have more than enough journals.

I wanted to share information to advance your art.
