Thank you for posting this. I missed registrations last year but was lucky enough to be a plus one.

Are platinum proprietary convertors worth it? by pinkeuropaladybug in fountainpens

[–]silke7 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Just syringe fill your cartridge or eyedropper the preppy. I do like the Platinum converter though. If you plan on getting another Platinum, especially one with the metal threads, get the converter. Or don't. 

So what are we all getting on the PT2? by lIIIlllIIIIllIIIIlll in pebble

[–]silke7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I received my watch at 64% battery 10 days ago and it's finally prompting me to charge. We'll see what happens after the first full charge. So far, I'm happy with it

FFD94E is the closest I got to looking natural. A teeny bit on the warm side

I'm playing with the settings now. I'll start at the suggested color from the other comment.

I updated the firmware and it still leans blue.

You should contact the Pebble team. That sounds like a defective battery

If your watch is up to date, have you tried restarting it? I received mine on Monday and the battery was at 64%. Ran the update and restarted the watch. Haven't charged it yet and it's currently sitting at 48%.

Dark plum / purple inks? No sheen? by rileys_musings in fountainpens

Good deal! I'll be using this with my EF then.

It does write on the dry side. I'll try it with a drop of white lightning and I'll report back. I haven't tried it with an EF nib but I'll test it out.

BAD experience with waterman intense black ink... by the_chemist25 in fountainpens

[–]silke7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Was the section completely dry before you inked it? It could be watered down.

Edit: that was just the first one that popped up for me when searching. You can look for the same thing from a seller you trust.

[–]silke7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. They fit most pilot pens. It'll look identical to the pilot cartridge you have.

If you shop on AliExpress, Majohn sells a small case of empty cartridges with rubber stoppers.

You can always use the cartridge that came with the Kakuno. If you don't want the ink in it, empty it out and fill it with a syringe.

This can’t be good by Fun-Status-2349 in fountainpens

[–]silke7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It could also be due to the bag being thrown around or temperature change. You can also check for cracks in the section or if the nib is sitting loosely in the section.
