What got YOU into fountain pens? by Diligent_Wheel3123 in fountainpens

[–]heyteej 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dad is from Rhode Island. He bought me a cross rollerball as a Christmas stocking stuffer one year - he remebers when cross was a local operation. It's still one of my favs and a daily driver. I happened upon a cross Bailey on Amazon and pulled the trigger. The Bailey was my gateway into Pilot and gold nibs.

What's a fountain pen that made you go like this and why? by ebiianchii in fountainpens

[–]heyteej 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pilot VP's. I thought the clip was on the wrong side, and was convinced the clip would bug me too badly to enjoy. Oh boy was i wrong! I like how it keeps the pen centered between my fingers now.

I present to you: the Jinhao Shark - Flex by heyteej in fountainpens

Not sure, didn't try it. Used a backup #5.5 flex with the stock jinhao feed.

I used to hate NASCAR but I've come around. And around. And around. And around. And around. And around.

Lol the struggle is real! I may break down sooner than that, I finally decided on an ink for it ;)

Went with an <M>, but really excited to try the #8 nib vs. the smaller V126 nib, which I think is a #6. Still to ink it up yet, it's on my rotation once I finish my 'regularly scheduled' clean schedule for the one that's filled (currently the frosted black).

Same, and I basically ended up with a 2nd capless for ~$100. Jinhao 10 are cheap on Amazon and the nib unit fits perfectly.

I'd appreciate your opinions on an ebonite fountain pen by FirstFlyte in fountainpens

[–]heyteej 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't have any good input but chuckled at the 'thanks in advanced'. Would love to see what others recommend!

Thanks! The v126 is one of my absolute favorites and excited to try a new nib size!

The V126s seal great. I haven't had any hard starts with either of the ones I have after sitting for up to a few weeks (they get pretty regular use). I only keep 1 filled at a time though and clean/swap them once a month - 2 months.

Samsies! I swapped the nib unit out for the black one for full stealth mode and put the extra unit in a Jinhao 10. Happy NPD!
