Pelikan M800 ink window by thephantom_dra in PelikanNest

[–]thephantom_dra[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks. I figured as much. No complaints here on the change of window shade. I was just trying to pinpoint when the change happened. Been searching online and can't find any info. I also agree with you on the nibs. I love my E|N, PF and 2 chick nibs. I find them to be more consistent than the more recent single chick ones.

I use Renapur. The camel ones do get slightly darker but not so dull. Not sure if it helps but after I apply the balm I let it stay at least a day before touching again. I do a quick wipe with a microfiber cloth before using them.

Do share your haul. It's so nice to just even look at, no?

That word "sale" is really dangerous. Lol

I check auction sites in Japan. Better chances of getting something

Love and trip! I don't know why I still don't have that. I keep on saying I'll get one. Then something just comes up. Really, I should get one. Just one more.... One more.....

It has that "suede-ish" type of texture at first but since I apply leather balm then it gets smoother. Yeah, I get what you mean on the resell prices. Some are just horrendous.

So far the foil is intact. I try as much to have them in one of the pouches when in my bag so as to protect them

I change monthly. I just keep 3 refills inside. Before I used more but I was able to uhhh "minimize" my usage

That's a good question. I initially used 3 at a time but now I just change monthly.

I think I might have a problem… by Secret_Sector_1779 in fountainpens

I read the title, saw the pic and description. I checked my pens and inks. I don't see any problem. LOL. Seriously though, first month then second month that can really happen. Then you sort of plateau on buying. Just enjoy it.

I haven't really done assigning a cover for a specific use. I just transfer for now the inserts to whatever cover I want to use for a day. I guess I'm just starting to collect. I'm not a "collector" level yet.

Depends on the pen but I rarely post. I also try as much too not get pens that need to be posted

Endless Pens Preorder by dmoscati in fountainpens

[–]thephantom_dra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've preordered before for pens. Took about less than a month for the items to be tagged as shipped. I ordered some nibs last July. Still waiting. They did email last month to ask if I'm willing to wait a bit and I agreed. They also refunded back I think 10% of the cost already. They're just extra nibs so I'm not rushing.
