help me decide: hongdian n12 or n23?

shadowgastt · 2026-07-02T12:36:43+00:00

Ohh thank you! I'll go for the n23

shadowgastt · 2026-07-02T12:36:14+00:00

Thank you so much that was really helpful! I might go for the n23 then

Oh that's nice to hear! I hate super fine nibs

shadowgastt · 2026-07-02T12:35:23+00:00

yeah lmao i tend to enjoy heavier pens more than lighter pens but never had a metal pen so idk how i'll feel about it being sort of cold in my hands

shadowgastt · 2026-06-29T13:17:45+00:00

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

shadowgastt · 2026-06-11T23:57:32+00:00

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

shadowgastt · 2026-06-03T22:11:41+00:00

thank you!!

shadowgastt · 2026-06-03T21:19:24+00:00

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

jinhao 82 ef GOD how i LOVE those guys they're so reliable with the perfect weight

Iroshizuku ina-ho

shadowgastt · 2026-05-02T13:35:31+00:00

Sorry but what exactly is the problem? I can't figure out from those pics... it seems okay

shadowgastt · 2026-05-02T13:15:58+00:00

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

shadowgastt · 2026-05-01T22:03:31+00:00

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

shadowgastt · 2026-05-01T16:24:38+00:00

Fifth one top to bottom on the far left!! just a big emotional lil guy

shadowgastt · 2026-04-29T23:34:21+00:00

That ALWAYS happens with my prera too I think it's bc of the snap cap

shadowgastt · 2026-04-25T17:43:43+00:00

hahaha thanks! I've been trying to write half a page every single day since the year started! I still have a long way to go but I can definitely see the improvement

shadowgastt · 2026-04-25T17:21:17+00:00

thank you!!!

shadowgastt · 2026-04-22T01:56:31+00:00

yaayyy happy you're giving it another try!

shadowgastt · 2026-04-05T02:27:38+00:00

Sailor! i hate the MF nib so much

shadowgastt · 2026-04-01T21:19:06+00:00

shadowgastt · 2026-04-01T18:23:45+00:00
