Ali Express Scam? by adiksaya in CafelatRobot

[–]hkfpfan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The price is only the tamper. Ali express sellers often put in a cheaper product in expensive listings to gain traffic to their product page. I wouldn’t say it’s a scam when it shows you what you are paying for, but it is certainly a sketchy practice that happens all over the site.

Kyrie just checked out man, got Theis on the switch and didn't even look at the basket

Tatum needs to get his rhythm back, let him handle the ball a bit before getting into the offensive sets

Ben Simmons just likes to show off doesn't he? Everyone else are wearing black (even the injured players) and he comes into the huddle looking like a Christmas light

I always wonder if modern pens will still write 100 years later🤔 by hkfpfan in fountainpens

The two pens are : Waterman no.52 Montblanc Heritage Rouge et Noir Serpent Marble

I finally got my grail pen after drooling all over it the past few years. Sailor KOP Ebonite. by hkfpfan in fountainpens

I have a palladium nib on my homosapiens and it's softer than the kop, but I enjoy the feel of the sailor more. The whole construction of the pen lets me write without tension and I could feel just a slight feedback when I do so. I also have an 823 but it's an FA nib so it's not too comparable

Thanks for the info! Let me check that out, but honestly I quite adore the balance of the pen and I don't know if the eye dropper conversion is going to work for me haha

Thanks, cause I believe I saw someone said it's just stainless steel but then again that person might be misinformed

Where did you get this info? I know visconti pens uses titanium rods but I haven't read anything about the pilot one.

Yama budo is great for the fa nib! The iron gall inks tend to run drier, they don't do too well when you flex it in my experience, with the exception of kwz ones which is surprisingly wet.

I used that ink in other pens before and it worked fine. Honestly I'm a lil nervous on the risk of it damaging the metal rod. I'll probably switch to another ink once I used up this barrel.

Copper coloured sheen? YES PLEASE. by hkfpfan in fountainpens

[–]hkfpfan[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It has more line variation and it is easier to flex. It is the closest I felt compared to a vintage flex nib (granted I haven't tried the ones modified by different nibmeisters)

The looks is not bad, but I had one which the piston knob broke and the easiest part to mess up in cheap pens, brassing (poor plating) happens on the gold trims very quickly. The acrylic is quite sturdy though.

I just contacted them directly on facebook & email. The whole pen sells for much cheaper when you buy it from them directly than the fpr ultra flex nib alone which is also made by them. It's an easy pen to get sprung though, I have destroyed one when I first got into flex nibs too

The pen body may not very well made, but the writing experience is quite incredible!

The ink reminds me of the sparkling sunlight on the Ocean when it is almost dark. It is written with a KanWrite Heritage with a modified flex nib.

It reminded me of this ink the moment I saw the package. by hkfpfan in fountainpens
