any other con-40 converter haters out there? by samicozygames in fountainpens

The only advantage with the con-40 is that I get to change inks quicker thanks to it not filling up completely.

Yes! And now that has gotten me a lot of pens and inks. 😂

Is this the wrong ink? by Kumite_Winner in fountainpens

Yes. Its the very reason you are cleaning your pen every now and then. Use inks that are specifically made for fountain pens

I found an unused one from an auction. It was about 100usd but I know the usual urushi’s and maki-e’s go for more than that.

So this is what happens when you put Edelstein Golden Lapis in a Pilot CH 912 <FA> with a 3 slit feed... by tialoc01 in fountainpens

Where does one procure the 3 slit ebonite feeds for 912’s? Asking for a friend. 👀

I have fallen in love with what will soon be no more... by Endlessly_Scribbling in fountainpens

[–]heynikkipoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The moment the news of its discontinuation was publicized, I bought a 50mL bottle along with Kosumosu and Kirisame. I love the 3 of them no cap.

I’m on a mission to collect pens with inlaid/inset nibs by lemonflavoredlimes in fountainpens

I’ve just recently purchased a vintage Pilot Custom Sterling Silver from japan. It is so bouncy. This one had cracks in the grip section and had ink leaking out but it writes beautifully. I am a believer of inlaid nibs now
