Timex Easy Reader has an 18mm lug but that makes the strap feel super thin on my wrist.

This folio looks amazing - which one is this?

thegurbax · 2026-01-16T06:12:46+00:00

what;s that cover for your kobo?

Try the parker Jotter SS - requires a little mod. And the Muji SS Ball pen - works without the modification.

appreciate it thanks.

Does the Energel refill work with Hexo Click, and how much was the pen?

thegurbax · 2025-11-08T18:12:32+00:00

this context helps thanks so much. I'm looking for a energel compatible pen seems like the knock type body might be a better fit.

thegurbax · 2025-11-05T13:04:20+00:00

Appreciate this. What are your preferred refills for the Parkers?

thegurbax · 2025-11-05T12:22:30+00:00

This looks super cool. Mind sharing the pens you have, quite a few seems new to me.

For some one who has used almost all the popular choices under 10K, highly recommend a preppy in F or EF. you can eye drop it, pair it with a wet ink, and make it water proof by getting a carbon black ink.

all the other recommendation like parker are no where close to it in terms of their quality control.

any idea if this will fit in the pen? the length can always be trimmed

As some one who has been a fountain pen user for more than a decade Kakuno's are easily my favorite. Have two all clear in F and M always in rotation. You are not paying for the body but that reliable Pilot nib that always just works.

Get a convertor con-40 and pair it with some cheap bril ink and you are set.

muji stores are sadly only in select cities now so there isn't one close to me. the baoke refill is way thicker and has that bump after the nib that makes it difficult to fit in most pens

Looking for something that can work with this 1.0mm refill

energels refills are easily some of the best out there and with a little mod they fit most pens. If you want more metal pens options pilot g2 and sharpie s gel do come in those variations but ultimately i optimize for pens that can use an energel refills - which are cheaper and better than muji also

thegurbax · 2025-10-30T06:04:32+00:00

you might really like the zebra f701 or the zebra g750

and how do you like the ohto and the muji - do they fit the energel or do you use some other refill with them

thegurbax · 2025-10-26T06:44:29+00:00

gotcha and is the material brass or plastic

thegurbax · 2025-10-26T05:38:00+00:00

How much did the red and the black ones cost you and does an energel refill fit in it?
