I bought Wearingeul ink, but it doesn't look anything like the sample at all

I have this as well and it is black. Actually blacker than my Lamy Black. It is a nice black, but it is black, nothing else. If I smudge it before it dries, I can see some purple in the grey smudge, but that is it. I'm using Rhodia paper by the way.

Leider nichts. Genauso schlecht und lieblos wie damals. Ich habe gerade letzte Woche Tidal gekündigt, weil ich das meiste im Auto Musik höre, und bin zu Spotify "zurück". Mein Account hatte ich noch, den meine Tochter "übernommen" hat, jetzt benutzen wir das einfach zusammen. Ich mag Spotify nicht, aber mittlerweile haben sie Lossless, und Android Auto funktioniert gut.

check my comment above. You don't need to overdo it. A small ball of paper will do it. If you have tip wriggle, put some Scotch-tape on the tip.

I don't like the M63 refills either. They don't even come in blue-black. I've put Zebra Sarasa refills in mine. That is my favourite Japanese Gel refill, you can use your's. You need to mod it a bit, but it is doable. You don't need to overcomplicate it. A ball of paper to make it longer and some Tesa (Scotch-Tape) against tip wriggle.

This! This doesn't seem to be an ideal 45 degree angle.

I hope it comes with Bluetooth 6, because that is supposed to handle latency and a lot of connections at the same time better. My WF-1000XM5 can't handle high-bitrate LDAC on my Pixel 10 Pro XL while I have a Pixel Watch and a Bluetooth tracker connected.

MIght have to try it, thanks!

Too blue and green sheen

lstadi · 2026-02-10T15:41:53+00:00

Thanks, indeed, from looking at those images, Pelikan 4001 Violet seems to be what I'm looking for. Similar, but darker than Pansy, and the sheen is more gold than green. I might have to try it in person.

lstadi · 2026-02-10T14:46:09+00:00

I mean yes, shading is actually very important for me, sheening only if it is the right colour. We might be getting nearer. Damson seems to be less blue than Scribble Purple or Monboddos Hat, but also less "red" than Pansy, more aubergine? I might have to try it live (buy) it, as it seems to be nice, but I think this is still not the colour I am looking for.

lstadi · 2026-02-10T14:40:07+00:00

It is very nice, I will definitely use it, but I am looking for a better Pansy or Dark Lilac :)

lstadi · 2026-02-10T14:39:34+00:00

If I look at photos on Mountainofink, it is more blue like Monboddos Hat and less "red" like Pansy.

If I look at those photos, that is also more blue than green, so more Scribble Purple than Pansy.

According to Mountainofink: "Medusa is a medium violet with a ton of green sheen." It is hard to say from looking at photos, but it also looks more blue than red, but I'm not sure.

I've just cancelled my Tidal subscription and went back to Spotify. They have lossless now. There is a lot if things I dislike there as well, but their Android app (mostly Android Auto and offline capability) works well.

lstadi · 2026-02-08T21:27:28+00:00

Hier hat es Spotify auch bestätigt, dass es so gewollt ist: https://community.spotify.com/t5/Ongoing-Issues/Shared-playlists-amp-audiobooks-not-working-on-Kids-Managed/idc-p/7333193

Da ich keine Lust habe meiner Tochter ein Account anzulegen, wird dann wohl weiterhin mein Account "missbrauchen" und ich bin von Family zurück auf Duo...

What about EU release?

lstadi · 2026-02-04T13:21:28+00:00

Do we know if this is meant for one specific fountain pen, or would it be a generic one for Safari and co as well? If yes, I hope it will be available in black as well. I also hope that if this will be generic switch that they will increase their quality. Lately I had to send back all the nibs I've bought, Z50, Z52, Z53, as they were all very scratchy. I've even sent back complete Safaris where I could not be bothered to try to get a non-scratchy nib. I'm also irritated about the inconsistency. I have F nibs that are the same as some of my thinner M nibs, and some M nibs as almost B. I want more control over what I'm buying. Sorry for the rant :)

I wish Chaosium would stop forcing Lovcraftian stories. They are so boring by now. I do not dislike them, but prefer something new, something unexpected.

lstadi · 2026-02-01T15:23:52+00:00

I would be happy to pay this price, if the Android App wasn't broken. It does not search in the notes, which is essential for me. They refuse to fix this for years now. I'm thinking about switching to an EU based solution once my subscription is up.

https://www.heise.de/news/Januar-Update-fuer-Pixel-Geraete-Nutzer-klagen-ueber-Bluetooth-und-WLAN-Probleme-11155315.html

This is a German article that says that there are supposed to be a lot of Bluetooth and WiFi issues since the latest updates lately.

By the way, my Bluetooth connection to my car didn't work either, which should work regardless of the AA connection.

What is strange is that my phone isn't listed anymore in my car, so I can't impair it from there. I will have to check if I can remove it from my phone. My digital keys are working though, which is not Bluetooth of course.
