Brian Goulet's Nib Heat-Setting Video: • Heat Setting a Noodler...
Original Music by Dan Light: danlightmusic.com
Never had a problem with ink flow on my Triple Tail, it wrote wet and very well out of the box. It has been one of my all time favourite pens. I found the vintage flex pen vision pretty amazing. The nibs seem so soft and effortless the way they work.
Thanks for the review -- I was eyeing this pen but haven't seen much about it since the announcement. The comparison with other Noodler's pens was particularly helpful.
I loved the modern vs flex demo. It was wonderful to have the visual demonstration of the difference.
Thank you for the honest review. I have had to tinker with all my Noodler's pens except the nib creeper , i don't mind tinkering personally and this new pen looks interesting especially the nib.
I saw this pen at the Colorado Pen show in early October......but it was displayed next to the blue transparent Boston Safety Pen. The Boston Safety Pen won that decision for me (since I have the Chestnut and Black versions).
Thanks for the informative video. The Triple Tail will be on my list of "fountain pens 'needed' "
I enjoy the Noodlers products....and tinkering with them.
Enjoyed your video. Keep up the great work.
Really like the point you made on the subtle variation with vintage flex vs modern. The Noodles Triple Tail looks like a good value buy. Thanks for the review.
I got the Tripletail also. It worked first time out of the box. I did clean it first. My Ahab was definitely not writing first time out of the box though. I am very impressed with the nib on the new pen. I like the green ink a lot too. I want to get some green.
A very interesting review. One point to make from my personal experience with 9 Noodler's Ahab pens, I have only had to clean my feeds with dishwashing soap and a little ammonia in water, scrubbing with a toothbrush, and they have performed flawlessly. I look forward to soon buying the Triple-tail pen. I really enjoy your videos; thanks for making them.
Edgar S. Raines, Jr. omg you have a point !!!
So much effort for such an easy step to do originally!
Oh yeah!...I gotta get one of those. Good job. Great vid with info and tips.
Actually got mine today. I cleaned it real well before using it. Does very well without heat setting and actually was impressed with the performance. I use it with RO Sydney Lavender and it shows the color very well. And...truth: it does not smell!
I've never had an issue with any of my Noodler pens. The one pen that skipped and railroad often was due to my laziness of not cleaning the pen prior to use. Thanks for sharing. Getting ready to order me one. i
Interesting - you inspired me to give the Triple Tail another try. I like the shape, size and feel very much. It's a smooth writer, flexible and the line's not too thin, never scratchy. What concerns me is that sometimes the line is just too thick, and I find it's hard to control the thickness -- when I put it to paper I just don't know if it will start out fine or super-broad, and a slight change of angle can change the line radically and unexpectedly. (I draw cartoons with it - it's too wet for a lefty to write with.) Maybe this pen just needs a few hours of practice in how to control it? That might be worthwhile, if it would help. There's a lot that's good about it.
Well, it IS a flex nib, and line variation is what it's all about. Now, the thing is, you really need to practice with these to learn how to "wrangle" your nib as you said...
Great video. I would love to see a brown ink comparison. Thank you.
I just got my Tripletail yesterday. It was pretty traumatic right out of the box. At my normal writing speed, the pen will gush out loads of ink and then the ink flow would stop all together with both Diamine Autumn Oak and Citrus Ice.
I washed the pen with warm water and re-inked it with J. Herbin Emerald of Chivore. The ink flows nicely and I can write at my normal speed, but you won’t get thin lines because of the generous ink flow.
When I went back to both Diamine inks, o found the solution was to write very slowly, I mean painfully slowly, to keep a stead flow of ink. If I pick up my speed, then it seems to create a vacuum effect and stop the ink from coming down.
I have not heat set the nib because I think it is going to make the ink flow worse.
That pen looks very exciting and I am delighted it's a big one like the Neponset! Did you find any issues with the nib springing? Please would you consider panning out from the pen and writing sample a little more in future videos. I'm struggling with a 4.5 foot pen on my screen... 😅 I love that gruene, it's a beautiful shade. Thank you for the review.
My kids bought this Tripletail pen for me for Christmas. Mine wrote out if the box absolutely perfectly. No messing around heat setting or anything. I didn't even wash it out first - tempting fate, I know! My Neponset, however, is crap. Same size pen, and more expensive but just won't work even after a new feed and nib from Luxury Brands.
This was useful. I've been curious about the pen but have not yet decided whether or not to pursue one.
Thanks!
I would definitely like to see you do a First Impressions on this pen.....well, all your First Impressions are intriguing.
I like Guene Cactus too. In my experience, it's the wettest.
IMO the Triple Tail costing more than double the price of the Ahab and Konrad I don’t think tinkering and heat setting should be necessary out of the box. I understand it’s supposed to be an affordable flex pen but in the $55-$60 area there are a lot of great pens that work out of the box.
That being said I’ll probably still get one eventually because tinkering doesn’t bother be and I really want a flex nib.
Excelente video. Saludo desde Medellín, Colombia
I had a Noodler's Ahab which never flowed smootly. I fiddled and fiddled, but it was always a disappointment since I really wanted a flex nib. I would hesitate to buy another pen I'm supposed to fiddle with. If I pay $50 or more, I think the pen should work out of the box. But maybe that's just me. Excellent review! I wonder whether the wetness has to do with how hard the pen is pressed...
I was disappointed with the Ahab also, but I am loving this Triple Tail. It is one of my favorite "new" pens, favorite (reasonably) "budget"-friendly pens, favorite broad pens, and certainly a favorite flex pen. Mine at least writes as smooth as a gold nib. I wouldn't mind if it was a bit less broad, even though I nearly always get "B" nibs given a choice, but it is a pleasure to draw with. To your question, it's pretty wet no matter how little you press, although a very light touch can give you a finer line at least briefly.
There is a slip of paper in your packaging that tells you to flush out the pen before use!
Kobe Beef he is a typical man-child. He wouldn’t take the easy way coz it isn’t exciting enough.
thinking about getting one of these new fangled triple tail pens i like my noodlers regular flex nib im wondering if you have to apply more or less pressure or about the same as you would a regular noodlers flex nib to get the same type of line variation
Less pressure needed than with an Ahab, about the same as a Neponsett.
@@WhatIInk thank you cause i find that after a new letters with the noodlers regular flex nib my wrist begins to windge
Thank you.
I have this on my radar. I write music notation but have no music nibs. A stub makes a reasonable job of it but I'd like to see how a tripletail would handle it.
If you're getting your first music nib, I'd recommend the Pilot Custom 74 which is available with a music nib.
@@WhatIInk thanks, I didn't know it was available for that one. I have the 823 in my sights but wouldn't mind trying the 74.
I have two Neopasant. Trying to justify the creation for this pen. This is just like the Neoponsent. What am I missing?
@@WhatIInk ha. You just sold a pen to a pen addict. Nice.
Loved this video. I lost the breather tube on my Neponset. Goulet does not have them and I wrote to Noodlers contact source. But got no answer. Does anyone know where to get another one?
If you eyedropper it, you don't need the breather tube.
What I Ink I would be interested in anyone’s results from eyedroppering a Noodlers pen? I have successfully done it with the platinum preppy pens. But I heard that eventually they will leak.
@@Carolee-nf2ud I did it with my Ahab awhile ago. Just keep it at least 1/2 full or more to avoid burping.
I don't know if ANYONE will get my question. It's about the inks name. An old Houston pen store commissioned Mr. Tardif for a Texas themed line of his inks. This is one. In the Hill Country there is a small German town-Gruene. It means green. I got that. However, in the Germany of the 1920's there was a popular cabaret song, "Mien Kline gruene kakus." Cactus falls off a balcony. Can someone clear my whence the name came. I want both to be true.
I got a Konrad and flushed it a few times with water, inked it up, bob's your uncle.
Just found your channel, yet another fantastic channel to feed my addiction! I keep thinking I'd love to make UA-cam videos but you guys cover all the cool stuff I think of before I can create anything. ;-) A happy disappointment, if that makes any sense.
Thanks!
I find noodler,s pen to be unconcitent with quality,that is why i do not write with them anymore. Pretty ink indeed, Thank you
‼‼
nice review. I feel like I have just smoked 10 packs of cigarette in one minute listening to your voice.
If you use a vintage pen with a large gold nib as a "flex pen" (or a modern with a very large gold nib), you will destroy the nib. And it can't be repaired or fixed.
This is true to an extent even about modern steel "flex nibs". Push them a lot, and you will destroy them. But at least affordable replacement nibs are readily available. This very wellknown phenomenon is called metal fatigue. To my knowledge, to this date, no one has made a fountain pen nib out of a material that can be used this way. But there are such steel nibs for dip pens.
When you spend 90% of your time just trying to get your Noodlers pens to write, you look to other manufacturers products. Sorry but I'm tired of "fiddling" with my Noodlers Pens. Great concept but I actually like to spend my "Pen Time" writing, not messing with a pen that that only works 10% of the time. Now Noodlers Brand Ink is a full different story.
