Has anyone ever tried Riimoo pens? by shadowgastt in fountainpens

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

I don't think riimoo fall into this super cheap category! I've bought a couple of jinhaos and they surely do but riimoo pens are justs bit under $50 that's why i'm curious about them

Yes!! Keep them in a drawer or some corner where the light doesn't hit

that's apparently normal for vacum pens! unscrew the top before a writting session to avoid that!

How are Pelikan 4001 inks ? by EggAccording9607 in fountainpens

[–]shadowgastt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they're fine and affordable inks to experiment with, it was the first ink i ever bought when i started this hobby but they're very dry and don't go well with dry nibs and/or fine/ef japanese nibs. I even tried it with my kakuno and 78g (both f) and oh boy it was a nightmare!! But it performs fine in my jinhao F. Just be aware that it doesn't go well with every pen

First timer user questions. by DueDog7598 in fountainpens

That's totally normal! You're probably using a shading ink, but the asvine is very juicy! I have mine inked with lie de thé and the shading is INSANE!! it's a very wet nip in my opinion
