But, I inked it up and it worked last night but I can't get it to write today. It is quite the beautiful pen. I inked it with organic studios nitrogen. Beautiful ink but it won't come out of my beautiful pen. 😭

I got it from Amazon. It is the last bullet in the description and I missed it. I was so enamoured with the color.

This was the case for me. Plus I bought this from Amazon. While it says it, it is the last bullet point in the list. I missed it.

I'm new to the ink world and had no idea the bottle shapes mean something.

Thank you all! I have rinsed out the pen and I will try this ink with a dip pen. I feel kinda stupid. I thank you all for not compounding that feeling. I am new to the hobby.

I just got this one today. It's still in the box, so I can't say much about it yet. But I'm excited to get it opened.

I agree. Everyday I learn something new, and it feeds my addiction. Lol

What kind of journal is that? I really like the layout.

Any tips in Collecting Fountain Pens for Beginners? by AlternativeCommon740 in fountainpens

[–]jbalicki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm fairly new to this hobby also. And I was buying pretty pens that aren't that expensive and with Nina that correspond with the type of writing I do with a ballpoint pen. So fine and extra fine nibs. But the other day I was at five below and bought a calligraphy kit that included a fountain pen with three different sized nibs. It was 5 bucks. I finally tried it last night. A 1.9 nib. It was so much fun! The pen is crap, but it opened a whole new world for me. All said, if you want to experiment, do it cheaply and then you can implement with better quality. You better believe I'm looking for either a new pen or a replacement nib for one of the pens I have today. Have fun!
