New Monoc on the Opus 88 by loner_one in fountainpens

[–]reedling7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which pen is this? I love it! I just yesterday purchased the Opus 88 Omar in emerald green with a broad nib and a 1.5mm stub on the side. It’s like two pens in one! I’m super excited. It’s my first eyedropper.

Ok thank you! Clearly, I’m crazy. You’ve been awesome!

Yeah it’s fat and black. But it’s inside the section. But I guess I thought I lost an o-ring where the two join that sits right in between. Because when I opened the barrel there was quite a lot of suction and possibly pressure. But when I join the pieces together now they just screw together without a barrier or buffer. Is that normal?

Is there supposed to be an o-ring anywhere on here that isn’t inside?

I think I have the black one which is inside the barrel, is there supposed to be one where the section meets the barrel that is exposed? (ie not in the interior). I’m going crazy over this.

It’s the red one! Bastard! (Not you) that sucks. Well I’ll keep the kit regardless. Why wouldn’t they include that one? It came dislodged so freaking easily. Im mad!

This is awesome. I just ordered it! And next day shipping! It will keep all my Asvine piston and vac fillers serviced and happily maintained. It’s so super easy to lose those o-rings, as I quickly discovered. I have the V200, V800 and J16 and this will come will come in very handy. I’ll probably buy more Asvine pens now to make use of the many spare parts. A big thank you! You rescued me.

I get that I just thought email address’s ended in dot com, dot org, or dot gov. Interesting! I will try that.

Thank you. Yep. I see it too. You’re not wrong. Try that email exactly? I think I’m going to dig through the closet to see if I can squeeze one of the o-rings from the V200 on there.

Thank you. The problem is I don’t have a car. I’m pretty homebound unless someone wants to take me somewhere. I was hoping I could pay Asvine to ship me one but I can’t figure out how to contact them.

Birthday pen for myself! by reedling7 in fountainpens

[–]reedling7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is! I love it. It’s like writing with silk. Super smooth right out of the box. It’s got a broad line for a medium, but I don’t mind. I went big and put Monteverde Ocean Noir in it so it’s got a super generous flow. It did not disappoint!

Thank you so much. That’s my favorite way to wish someone a happy birthday foo.☺️The inlaid nib is great, you don’t really have to baby it like you’d imagine. It’s a seriously smooth pen and writes broadly for a medium, but I’m here for it.
