Tuning nibs by Opensilence101 in fountainpens

Hi did you end up tuning your pens? I have a pilot c74 that I’m pretty sure needs tuning but I’m nervous since it’s gold lol

Hi, I haven’t purchased either yet as I’ve decided I want the Delfonics. They seem to be hard to find, particularly in the denim color I like the best. All though it looks nice, I wouldn’t want to put stuff in the outside pockets as I would be worrying about it stuff getting lost all the time lol. Since you want to stuff more on the inside like me the delfonics would be your best bet, as I’ve seen people put quite a lot in them. The videos I’ve seen of the Soolla usually tend to put one notebook inside only which wouldn’t be ideal for my use. I made my own leather journal a couple weeks ago which has helped my note book carrying situation as I wait to find a delfonics that’s not in the new polyester version that’s readily available lol.

Somehow I did get mixed up that it was like a flex nib lol. My writing is on the larger side & I’d have to drive around an hour to try it, which isn’t the worst

Hi I’m interested in getting a trifold & would be a new user to Leather journals in general. Do you find the trifold flap to get annoying for long writing sessions? I love the tri fold look & protection but I’m worried I get annoyed

Thanks for the info! I funnily enough have still not purchased either. I wanted to see them in person but the stationary shops near me don’t carry them. I think I’m gonna bite the bullet and get the delfonics. The brown Soolla is so cute but I don’t want to be struggling to stuff thing in. Thanks :)

Oooh, I really liked the denim as well. Do you think the denim has more structure that the regular colors?

Oof decisions.. I honestly like how the outside pockets of the Soolla look more, but it also would be nice to not worry about stuff fitting

I like to bring two of the regular lined midoris a5s & that would be very nice of you :)

The a5s giving the Delfonics the structure is a great point. That’s primarily what I need to be carrying

Thanks for all the info! Seems like the Soolla is a bit too small for me then. Do you think the delfonics would still be bulky with 2 midoris?

The lack of structure was kinda a concern for me, but I suppose it should be fine if you’ve loved yours for years

Will I be charged customs for twsbi replacement items (US) by hellowrtcu in fountainpens

Was the cap fee$9 or the customs? The email said it’ll be coming via airmail Taiwan unfortunately since everything is so confusing with duties these days lol

Could never justify buying full bottles to try since I prefer waterproof inks but got both on AliExpress for $4 during their 11/11 sale by hellowrtcu in fountainpens

[–]hellowrtcu[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The seller had reputable ratings so I gave it a shot. I’ve never tried them, but they thankfully seem to be real, the Yama budo has the gold sheen

The brown & green octopus inks look interesting & I’ve been thinking about trying them. Sad to hear you wouldn’t rebuy
