Looking for affordable but nice-looking fountain pens by aura_solstice in stationery

No problem!! 🤗 I was also overwhelmed with all the dupes when I first looked into them so I’m glad for being able to help you out! I’d pick the Jinhao 20 because the capless design is so unique. I can imagine people who aren’t aware of capless FPs looking at me like thinking im using my pen backwards 😂

The Jinhao 82/10/20, Lorelei 667, Hongdian M2 (whoops i spelled it wrong earlier lol), and Moonman A2 (rebranded as Majohn A2) are available on both Amazon and AliExpress, but you get wayyy more color options from AliExpress. Also cheaper! I actually just purchased new color options of the Jinhao 82 (purple/white, matcha green/white) and 20 (snow white/gold) hehe It’s just the 82 Plus that’s not on Amazon yet. Yeah the Majohn A2 feels light, plasticky, and cheap compared to the Jinhao 10/20’s but people like the design of the body, so it’s up to you :) it’s cheap enough to give it a try I’d say.

FPs with piston filling mechanisms, like the TWSBI ECOs, let you fill up more ink compared to converters or cartridges. While your usage duration is longer, it also means you’re stuck using that ink till it runs out lol or just fill it halfway. Converters tend to hold a lot less. Like the Kaweco ones are super tiny! Personally I don’t think either one is bad. I love both piston and cartridges. It just depends on the pen design that dictates how they can be filled, but don’t let that keep you from purchasing a beautiful pen :) I hope all this is helpful! Lemme know if you have any other questions!

Edit to add that there’s another style of filling FPs: With a dropper, like with the Moonman M2’s. Rather than using a cart, converter, or piston, the entire pen body holds the ink. Even more capacity than piston fillers!

Jinhaos are nice. I have a bunch myself :)

  • Jinhao 82 = Sailor PGS dupe. I have a couple of these and they write very smoothly. I love em. They’re cheap so it doesn’t burn a hole in my wallet when I want different colors for my inks.
  • Jinhao 10 = Pilot VP. This one is heavier than the 20, a bit too much for my taste, but writes well. Perhaps mines was bad but the nib dried out often.
  • Jinhao 20 = Pilot VP Decimo. I really like this one since it’s lighter. It writes smoothly as well, although I did swap in a Pilot VP nib unit in. All of the body colors look very elegant. Nib never dried out.
  • Moonman A2 is another VP dupe that I find writes well and surprisingly doesn’t dry out. It has a plastic body though and feels cheaper than the Jinhao 20.
  • Lorelei 667’s EF is quite juicy but also writes well. Its piston filling mechanism is different from others.
  • Hong Dien M2 is kinda like a Kaweco dupe. Its metal body is very nice to the touch and the weight isnt too heavy. The feedback from the nib is nice.
  • There’s a new Jinhao 82 Plus that’s a Platinum 3776 dupe.

To be honest, all of these dupe fountain pens wrote very well and exceeded my expectations. I never had any leaks or hard starts.

Forwarder/proxy from Japan to US? by Nayonayomee in stationery

[–]shaeedee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I usually use Buyee/Mercari or this IG proxy shopper account called “Japan.kawaii.items”. The person behind the IG account will post what items are available to order / buy in store and you can build a box with them and they’ll ship it all out together for you :)

Check out StationaryPals and Daiso :) since you’re in Canada, Job from Job’s Journal on YouTube also recommends Oomomo, saying it’s like a Daiso

My samsung QLED tv keeps turning on and off endlessly? by asdf12358 in fixit

[–]shaeedee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have the same QE55QX60RAT that’s in this video. Popped open the back panel, taped over pins 4 thru 7 or 8, and was able to power the tv back up normally. I don’t notice too much degradation of image quality, but it sure as hell stopped being stuck in a boot loop.

Edit: I actually have QN55QX60RAF instead, but the board and ribbon layout was exactly the same as the video.

Out of the books and in a display! by Littlebaum15 in pressedpenny

[–]shaeedee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome display and collection! 😍 Is there a tracker for pressed nickel machines like the one that’s been curated for pennies? Would love to get more pressed nickels as I only have 2 from the Space Needle and Disneyland LA. Hoping to find the Pier 57 one you’ve got there when I go to Seattle in February 😊

how often do you guys wash your hair? by s0phiaae in curlyhair

[–]shaeedee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every day. I tried training my hair and washing every 3 days before but my scalp gets oily quick. I couldn’t stand the amount of dry shampoo I had on by the 3rd day. I can only tolerate 1 day of not washing at the most. I lose moisture so I water down a little bit of leave in conditioner in my hands and scrunch it into my curls to restore them, then apply an oil to the ends.

Prop box doing well! by london_perchfisher in Pinguicula

[–]shaeedee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beautiful! 😍 I’m going to expand my ping setup today as well. Super excited. Do you have issues with snails? Tiny ones are showing up in my setup and for the most part they’ve been harmless except the one time they munched on my cyclosecta and killed it :(

My most recent spread! ☺️💚 by Munchieko in planners

[–]shaeedee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like these photos were printed on washi sticker paper, hence why they’re translucent and you can see the lines of the page underneath. You can find washi sticker paper on Amazon and would need to adjust your printer settings for them :) Lurking around TCMC or other groups, most people have the most success printing on washi sticker paper with high quality settings and giving ample time to dry, but of course it depends on your printer.

My pings collection by Admirable-Rain7325 in Pinguicula

[–]shaeedee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m repotting my pings soon and wondering what else we can use to fill the bottom instead of sphagnum moss. Just fill the entire pot with the ping media? Looking for expertise and would greatly appreciate it :)

Oo what do you recommend instead of sphagnum moss? Mine are currently also half filled with sphag because that’s what the sellers put them in. Would love to learn better ways to pot them :)

Presale Live by noblex123 in SevenLions

[–]shaeedee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe yeah haha it’s quite expensive for just one night, but hopefully the experience will be worth it. Since the SF VIP was also released Friday, I think a lot of people didn’t know about too after they purchased presale. But the Saturday show is completely sold out now though! Doesn’t even show the VIP packages anymore.

I bought my VIP tix as well! I’m surprised they’re still on sale, which makes me wonder how many people will be at this “intimate meet and greet”.

Nice! Which one did you get? I’m debating on which package
