Sigh. The number of people who think fountain pens are only for calligraphy is to damn high. Why can't i just use something other than a ballpoint to write with?

it's so incredibly impressive and sad how few tvs and tv connected 'boxes'/'sticks' support reading from a USB Flash drive. Chromecast, Apple TV, Fire TV. Anything that's not a full fledged PC seems like it only acknowledges content from online sources, even if they have a USB slot.
Does anyone have any tips for a cheap (<$100 USD) portable and fully offline (or at least core offline) devices that can connect to an hdmi port and either has >128gb onboard storage or can read from a USB drive?

huh, I've never had that issue with either my decimo or vp. Both are real workhorses for me.

2026-01-20 13:57:37 CET

So I put in a job app yesterday and now my mind is all "what #FountainPen (s) should I take?" Should be professional but classy and able to generate interest for conversation. Also over sized pens are out.
My short list is currently my L2K and Pilot Decimo. Perhaps my new twsbi obsidian, though that's getting into over sized level. The L2K and Decimo are probably what I'll settle on...
And of course I'm not even guaranteed an interview, buuuuuuut........

I've kind of learned to embrace it. I'm normally pretty anal about making sure my pens are inked up at the start of the week, but not feeling good and sleeping 12+ hours a day destroyed my schedule.
This is just a special kind a fun and completely shows why I need to carry around *checks notes* 20 inked pens at all times

Coworker, reaching for my vanishing point #FountainPen : "can I borrow your pen for a second?"
Me: noooooooooooooo
Coworker, shocked: wow, you don't need to be so possessive
Me, grabbing a pilot varsity: you can use this, not my vanishing point.
Coworker, looking at the nib strangely: uhhhh, I'll just use someone else's pen
*Sigh* I really hate my coworker sometimes. I thought everyone in my department knew I used fountain pens. I'm not subtle about it.

So apparently now Ferris Wheel Press is now shipping glass bottle inks with little to no packing material for protection. Can that company be any more of a joke? #FountainPen

just refilled my Pilot Metro with a 50% dilution of Noodler's xFeather (bought before I knew the brand's reputation). Hopefully this is nicer to work with. Undiluted it takes FOREVER to dry.

Question for the #FountainPen hive mind. I love the Diplomat Magnum. I love how bouncy the nib is. I love how lightweight it is. I love the snap cap function, tactility, and sound. My only complaint is the diameter. I find pretty much all number 5 nib pens to be too narrow for me and give me hand cramps.
Is there a pen that is basically the Diplomat Magnum but widened enough to be a #6 nib? (Yes the extra 1 or 2 mm do matter)

2025-11-30 04:32:44 CET

- reply

Great choice! I've heard Lamy's nibs can be dry, though none of mine have had issues. I hope you enjoy the new Al-Star!
PS: you might have an issue if you have a different pen for every day of the year, until then though... :P

2025-11-17 08:31:14 CET

Please tell me other people care about light pollution, that it isn't just me? With the aurorae this week, i've lamented several times in person about how bad my city's light pollution is. you can't see the milky way. you can barely see any stars. Nobody cares. It's either "eCoNoMy" or "jUsT MoVe FuRtHeR aWay". Apparently I'm the only one that thinks you can have economic productivity while protecting nature and no one sees lit skies as a form of pollution that harms all of us :'(

I've started using the con b squeeze concrete in my pilot metro. I'm not sure if I'm really losing much ink volume with it over reusing cartridges; I've seen a range of values from different websites. Anywho, not being able to see through the ink sac is very much helping me to stop worrying about ink levels and just write. Not that I ever have worried per se, but I love seeing ink slush around.

2025-09-06 13:01:38 CEST

I've noticed that both of my TWSBI Vac700Rs have developed cracks in their caps. The cracks are towards the top so they aren't interfering with the cap seal or threads, but I know the cracks will spread. Guess I should reach out to TWSBI to get new caps at some point. :/
I've been thinking about getting a Pilot C823 (not sure If i'd want the amber or clear version), but idk. The TWSBIs write so well and work so well with the Vac20 ink well to very easily get a full fill.

Question for the #FountainPen hive mind. I registered for a pelikan hub this year. I've since learned (after registrations ended) that there's one being hosted MUCH closer to home. Do I need to do anything to communicate that I'm wanting to go to this other hub meetup or can I just show up and say hi.

In preparation for (hopefully) starting on E next week, I'm going to rewatch The Matrix. I've seen the movie once or twice, but it's been a long time.

I've gotten my Tega Snorkel #FountainPen emptied and cleaned out tonight. Hopefully I can finally get the cap band glued back on it when I get home from work. I'll probably want to take a little bit of sandpaper to it first to make sure the glue sticks better this time.
I also have some work on my HS cap that I've been needing to do. That's on the top of the cap though (the magnet was never glued on -_-) so I don't have to have the pen sitting without a cap for a period of time.

I've surprising got a few stores nearby, though their collections are....wanting. I suppose I can stand to order a few 10ml ink bottles every now and then to shop locally. There's not much more than that though.

2025-07-10 11:44:03 CEST

a jeweler's loupe is a fountain pen user's best friend (besides good ink and paper). Assume any nib will need some adjustment work (either from factor or shipping (nibs are delicate after all)).
My Good Blue L130 #FountainPen is now a lovely writer with litteral minutes of slight adjustment.

2025-07-09 04:04:47 CEST

that might be a valid argument, though even in western markets, a $50 pen is often considered a luxury instrument. Nahvalur is a good example of a good company. Even their "twsbi eco ripoffs" are different enough to stand out.
I wentmore broadly with the chinesium rant. It's just such a common thing in basically every industry & is an intentional tactic China particularly uses to an extreme. For this reason, I don't think the "meant for internal market" reason holds water

2025-06-17 06:10:29 CEST

I'm against them. Yes the Pilot Capless/VP has been around for an eternity and there's not patent protection. Sure you probably could get the cost lower, but so often Jinhao and co cut costs to the absolute extreme.
When I was just getting into #FountainPens, I got a Majohn VP ripoff. It was complete trash. The pen would not seal at all and the threads stripped within a month. I got a couple more thinking it was a fluke. Nope. All 3 were in the trash within a month. (1/2)

you *CAN* pull the nib and feed out and refill it/add some water. IIRC it has a fabric feed which does deteriorate, but people do refill Varsities.

2025-06-16 23:32:36 CEST

Might be worth dipping it in water, see if that rehydrates the ink.

#MarioKartWorld Review:
Great game (I don't think there's ever been a bad Mario Kart game?)
Overall, do not like the driving to each track gimmick. It just takes away time/length from the actual tracks.
I have no idea why Special Cup is an unlockable. there's nothing special about it.

2025-05-14 14:39:59 CEST

Welp, found pine of my ink bottles had gone off. I'm not sure exactly if it was mold or the ink separating, but I think part of it was mold. The poor only want even that old, only a year. Is this just bad luck or should I be doing something different with my inks? I see people just leaving ink bottles out where as I have them tucked away to reduce light exposure.

Happy birthday Fountain Pen Companion!
I was wanting to set up a spreadsheet to track what inks/pens I had and what inks I had in use in what pens. FPC did all of that for me and is such a wonderful source of info for inks I might want to buy in the future. Thank you FPC, here's to many more wonderful years of being my fountain pen companion.

I #JustEmptied my Delta Duna Happiness (2024 Atlas x Duna pen). It was inked with Diamine Wild Strawberry. I really like this pen so I might just reink it right back up. Might do a different color though, idk.

i was walking around work tonight and discovered someone left a Kaweco Sport #FountainPen out. I'll never run into them (because yay night shift), but this is the first time I've seen a fountain pen out in the world that wasn't mine.

I finally managed to find one of the limited edition Sailor PGS Jellyfish #FountainPens for sale. I've been looking for one for MONTHS. My sister loves jellyfish and it's such a pretty pen.

I somehow managed to empty my vac700 in a single day. I might be reaching a point where I have a problem....

I know this isn't a unique thought around these parts, but browsing /r/fountainpens really is just a waste. Everyone posts their new pens (and hey, new pens are fun), but that gives the impression that EVERYONE is constantly buying new pens. You then also get the posts of "look at my 100 TWSBI Ecos in a rainbow". Do you really need to matchy matchy that badly? How do you use all those pens?

very well written and very true. I find the constant stream of "Limited Editions" very tiring. i'm still relatively quite new into fountain pens (got my first one in 2023). I think this is ultimately part of the end-stage capitalism world we live in. If a company does as well this year that they did last year, they're considered a failure. That's driving a lot of the same sales tactics and push for overconsumption in many industries.

yeah, this style gave lots of preferential treatment to whatever got posted first, which the winning shade was posted very early

2025-03-05 06:27:07 CET

Just saw the Diamine/Reddit ink shade results and any excitement I may have had for it are immediately dead. Oh well, saves me money.

starting my first listen of #DoctorWho The Fugitive Doctor - Most Wanted. I hope this series serves her well. I LOVED Jo Martin in Fugitive of the Judoon but the rest of the era didn't really give her enough IMO.

oh, hey, Sailor has a collection of State inks, and unlike colorverse, has given Nebraska a decent color!

I #JustEmptied my Benu Euphoria Early Grey <F> #FountainPen this morning. It was inked with PenBBS №95 "Lin Hiuyin" on 9 September 2024. Long ISCs take so much ink. I think I'll be putting this pen in storage for a bit so I can focus on other pens.

2025-02-21 13:52:27 CET

restocked my mom's #FountainPens. I've given her De Atrementis Document Tourquoise and Diamine Writer's Blood.

After many months of prefering pocket #FountainPens, the pendulum is swinging back the other way. I'm finding the need to post (especially screw-on posting) to be a real drag. I'm very tempted to nib-ectomy my Schon Monoc nib into another pen. IIRC, it uses standard Jowo housing threads.

I'm really starting to love the Fantasy Snorkel. I get why nobody makes Snorkel pens anymore, but damn do I wish they did.

:O
I literally just discovered that my Visconti Homo Sapiens Steel Age Skylight is compatible with the My Pen System. I legit don't know how that has passed me by for so long. I've put magnets to it before & the V logo never popped off. I was fiddling around with it tonight & IT MOVED!
Did Visconti do a silent update to my pen recently? (/s) In all seriousness, there's SO little info about the skylights out there that I welcome any info. Was there ever a Bronze Age skylight?

Kaweco Sport Apricot Pearl <F> inked with Kaweco Sunrise Orange
Pilot e95s Champagne (the only colorway) <M 18kt> inked with Pilot Iroshizuku Kon-Peki
No real rhyme or reason to tonight's pens, just what I randomly pulled out of my pen coozy.
