I recommend syringe filling a pilot cartridge for your vanishing point. Those hold a very decent amount of ink and are perfect for longer writing sessions. Don't bother with the pilot converters.
I just bought syringes! Thank you. Such a great suggestion!
Micro mesh and brash sheets can get rid of the scratchiness, it's normally called tuning. x
Thank you Naomi. I'm still so new to this hobby. I can't get enough! I appreciate you watching!
Gorgeous collection!! I LOOOVE the soothing and feminine vibe of this video! Such elegance! I totally love all the neutral tones🥰 I'm soooo excited to see how your pens and inks change with the seasons!
I am a newbie to the hobby myself and I too love the feminine design of the Sailor pens, I've not yet splurged on them but they are definitely up there with Benu as far as some of the prettiest and most feminine pen designs! 🥰
That Pilot Vanishing Point is so sleek and gorrrrgeous! It has been on my list from the first time I started looking into fountain pens!! Yes, taste!!!!❤️
That Benu Caramel Latte is 😍 and Yule Log is SO PRETTY, the shimmer in it is stunnnnning. I definitely want a full bottle when it's released!
The fountain pen hobby is my favorite hobby in forever too!! Just so casually glam and crafty! ❤️
I really love how gregarious your writing is!
I love all the browns! I also lean towards greys and greens. Not a blue fan unless it is a blue/black. Diamine is my favorite.
I struggle with blue too Karin. Diamine ink is incredible!
FWP Stroke of Midnight is shimmer heavy, so these inks are best with higher flowing feeds more found in affordable pens than high end pens. I have Preppies, and a Pilot Parallel for these types of inks.
A lovely collection Lori! I learned to write with a fountain pen and my Mom bought me a blue Esterbrook for Christmas. Thanks for bringing back memories!
That's such a nice memory! I need to add Esterbrook to my wishlist! They have some beautiful pens! Thank you for watching Betty!
You can use a brown paper bag to smooth the nib a bit. Just draw some “trees”. Lol. It worked for me.
Thank you Lynn!
Ok the fountain pen content is sooooo relaxing!
I'm so glad you enjoy it. It relaxes me too!!I would call it free therapy, but I'm ordering pens every week!! lol! Thanks so much for watching!
What fun! We are total opposites. I came late to thrifting, but have been writing with fountain pens for all my life. We weren’t allowed ballpoints in my first few years of school, and I just never changed. And you prefer earth tone coalition colours while I go with the force of brightness.
I’m also in Massachusetts! Thank you for sharing a currently inked!
Thanks for watching! I am having so much fun!
Great video. I’ve been binging your vids now, you’re just delightful and your sound and video quality are stellar! 🤗👍❤️
Thank you so much 🤗
Had the same scratchy nib with my Lamy. I thought it was the nib, but I tried a more wet ink and it wrote smoother. The best match i found is pilot iroshizuku tsukushi -- i am going to try another pilot ink to see if it will be the same.
As for the converters, i stopped buying them esp the ones for pilot (con40) and just re-use the cartridge to fill with the ink samples I have. The syringe is way cheaper 😉 than converters.
I found the Private Reserve Infinity inks were the only inks that saved the LAMY from scratching
agree. i find lamy nibs are very ink sensitive. once inked an ef with noodler's apache sunset and it was so scratchy i was ready to throw away the nib! but then i re-inked it with organics studio's nitrogen, which as you know is supposed to be a difficult ink, and it wrote so smooth and wet. wild!
Superbe video! Thank you. 💕
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
Love you pen collection! I heard from Yosaka Stationary that I need to be careful when using shimmering inks with a gold nib pen. I also own a Sailor 21K gold nib and decided not to use any shimmering ink with it.
Oh my, you have to get the Pilot 823 in Fine (the smoothest Japanese fine ever!) and the Platinum 3776 in Medium just glides on paper like ice. However, for the Platinum 3776 in fine, while it's not butter smooth it is the finest of all like Japanese EF. I love them all equally, but the Pilot is my baby. The clear pilot is a Japan exclusive, but I personally went with amber, it's just a timeless look. I loved hearing your thoughts, thank you for sharing a part of your new fountain pen adventure 😊
My husband brought back 5 pens!! I'm pacing myself opening them but I started with the Platinum 3776 with a medium nib in the calico! LOVE!! More to come!! Thanks for your message xoxo
@@timewithtata8004 ☺️ what a treat!! I would’ve tore them all open with excitement 😂 one of my platinums is the calico!! I love it so much!! It’s so elegant!! I can’t wait to see the other 4!
what dry ink would you recommend for a M nib TWSBI Eco? I just received it and I am not loving it, but maybe I am going through what you did. I currently have yu-yake iroshizuku and it is just too much ink when I write with it. Love your videos!
I was also disappointed with my Sailor Progear Slim at first. The ink that "fixed it" is Pilot Iroshizuku Sukyo. I think the Sailors require very good quality and lubricated inks.
Do you have to use special paper with a fountain pen? I’m new and looking into buying an entry level pen probably a Kaweco sport. I like to journal
I want one.
I noticed you are still using the Moterm pen case. It is very pretty. Did the elastic stretch more? I remember you initially had trouble inserting pens in your previous video. I am considering the Moterm case for my pens, but I am worried my pens won’t fit.
I have had luck with using micromesh (you can get it from Goulet Pens) to get rid of the scratchiness with a nib, just take it slow and do some figure-eights on it and it may help. Thanks for sharing, love that Three Kings ink :)
Great tip! I need to place an order with Goulet soon. Thank you!
does yr visconti suffer from inconsistent ink flow? if so maybe stick with the cartridge and just refill it with flowier ink (or use a different/new cartridge). i have a van gogh which looks practically identical to your venus and suffered from ink flow problems caused by the visconti converter. either the ink can't flow inside it or the nipple can't attach properly to the section. i have bought a new (better) converter but haven't tried it since the cartridge is working ao well and refilling it with a syringe turns out to be so easy. 😀
Thank you for sharing your candid and simplistic thoughts on fountain pens and your collection, I found myself thinking the same thing as I listened to you! And I'm so excited for your husband and you when he shops for you both! Will you be video calling the shopping together? ^_^ as for recommendations, I just got the platinum century 3776 in medium and it's so smooth! I love it. The fine might also be smooth but with more feedback. I don't quite like cigar shaped pens, but the century 3776 might change my mind on pens that are said to be super amazing (yes I'm looking at you pilot custom 823!)
Thank you for your message! My husband promised he would film the store in Tokyo. I've been in contact with a store associate and we are putting together a nice order....which does include the Century 3776 & the pilot custom 823! It will be a showdown when I get them side by side. I cannot wait!!
I have 2 Lamy safaris and hate them both LOL. They are so scratchy and I dont like how my writing looks with them. I completely agree about the diamine inks! One of my top brands along with pilot iroshizuki inks.
A Pilot Custom 823 in clear may be a good choice to buy in Japan. The clear version is not available in the states.
I'm debating between the clear and the amber. Thank you!!
What do you think about Mount Blanc pens?
I have never used one. I'm sure eventually I'll try one!
If you like to watch Kaweco Sport collections, check out Pens and Tea. She has like 12+ of them. If you like blue-black, try out Diamine Oxford Blue. I love dark blue, kind of like denim like blue. True blue-blacks have a tinge of green in it. Oxford Blue also shades well. Lastly, if you like smooth nibs. Faber-Castell makes some of the best steel nibs, and Pelikan. Pelikan is probably my second favorite. Their gold nibs are BUTTER. A word of caution and advise I give to all the newbies out there. Figure out what you like and buy within those parameters, or what happens is you end up with a lot of pens by the time you really find out what you like, which I find are thicker sections and wetter nibs.
Thank you for your all of your tips. I have been checking out a lot of videos from Pens & Tea. She's great! I also have been a buying machine...and I definitely need to slow down! I'm writing daily and figuring out what appeals to me. Pelikan M600 is on my wishlist! Heading to Yoseka in Brooklyn next week! I don't think I'll be slowing down until after Christmas, lol! Thanks so much for watching!
@@timewithtata8004 My hometown. Well not Brooklyn, but New Yawk. You're a New Yorker?
Ferris Wheel Press is a Canadian company, BUT their fountain pens are made in Shanghai. I found this out after I bought and did a video on the FWP brush fountain pen. Now, I love Chinese fountain pens. Don’t get me wrong. I love Nawhal and Jinhaos all day. But FWP leads people to believe their pens are made in Canada, and that’s not the truth.
Lamy is suffering from its own success on their F nib Safaris. If you live near the store that you purchased it, they tend to replace it for free. Otherwise, go to a pen show for supplies, and look for a micromesh pad to tune your pens.
OMG my Lamy Safari in créam is also very scratchy! Not a fan 😒
I can't understand why it writes so differently from my terracotta one (which nI love).
@@timewithtata8004 🤔 Production/QA? Makes me want to give them another chance and try another edition.
@@timewithtata8004 I find Lamy Safari nibs are inconsistent. I have three Lamy safari pens in extra fine nib. One of it is scratchy. The other two just doing fine, no scratchy.
The first few colors are pretty but I had to stop watching after the inkvent color because I didn’t want any more spoilers 😭 (that part of your video title is cut off when scrolling through UA-cam so I didn’t know it was coming).
Oh I'm so sorry!! I only used a few.. but I should have given more warning. Thanks for watching!
@@timewithtata8004 Oh it's ok! You tried to warn us. UA-cam just cut off the end of the title after "Diamine". All good. :)
