Done with my new pen - modified Majohn C4. Modification is a Majohn flex nib. It is a very soft nib! The closest to a gold flex nib you will find and it writes great! Ink is Colorverse Walk The Dog.

I&#39;ve been using this phone for about 3 years as a daily driver. I am very happy with it! My banking app works, which is great, Android apps work very well in general. Plenty of settings and updates are monthly. There are glitches: flickering of the screen that I can&#39;t stop unless I remove the battery, that happens when I press power button twice; and artifacts being left back when uninstalling Android apps.<br/><br/>#FLX1 #FuriLabs #LinuxMobile<br/><video controls width="100%" class="max-h-[90vh] bg-neutral-300 dark:bg-zinc-700"><source src="https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/116/127/847/763/284/879/original/47c9c3fb68335fbb.mp4"></video><br/> 2026-02-24T22:05:00Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs0pqjcenvllk3uahtk3a8kxkqfefgsc944t56mx60ny4l22seuy3szyr6wzcsvmstzqmp08plepmv588lsej9xq8y6s7xcyk0ywy0d7h2kqegaqd8 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsfwlfmn8ms84n7nt4te7tnlqg8qdd6klghwnvr6fgh6jq9v4yqagshvdm9m'>nevent1q…dm9m</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>What&#39;s your opinion on Asvine P36?

Today I received a custom made pocket pen from Mike Green (<a href="https://mikespenfun.com">https://mikespenfun.com</a>). Finish is called Magma Dragon. This tiny pen is wielding a No8(!) steel Bock Medium nib. It came with a Kaweco converter (foldable stem), box of 20 Diamine cartidges of 10 different colors (2 each). And a hand made, by his wife, kimono. Ink cartridges are: Jet Black, Blue Black, Royal Blue, Turquoise, Emerald, Claret, Imperial Purple, Maroon, Monarch Red, and Warm Brown.<br/><br/>#FountainPen<br/> <img src="https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/116/003/451/708/099/440/original/0144810f66617465.jpeg"> <br/> <img src="https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/116/003/451/692/751/839/original/11ffea343af1085d.jpeg"> <br/> <img src="https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/116/003/451/685/291/098/original/4aef129920fbbaa4.jpeg"> <br/> 2026-02-02T22:50:37Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsfmplrqv9n2uv3wffetuexkf68q69cv7j9r93vamjj6wrhkcd2w5czyr6wzcsvmstzqmp08plepmv588lsej9xq8y6s7xcyk0ywy0d7h2kqtlh7z2 <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1jg3sk5l0umnyq0rs9zzfwyug5vqrkstamac8cq4w07uypfqmfd8qnezt0s" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Penfount • Pen Community</span> (<span class="italic">npub1jg3…zt0s</span>)</a></span> <br/><br/>My only pen purchase from the Philly pen show on Saturday - Antique (Over 100 years old) Conklin Crescent 30.

This time it is Asvine C2000 in blue ebonite with No8 1.1 Stub steel nib. The pen looks absolutely beautiful. Cap has threads cut into the ebonite and barrel has a metal insert and that is where threads are. Good news is that threads are very smooth. I can spin the cap and it will cose.

This pen was a gift from a friend. Pen pictured is a Hongdian N25 Year of the snake pen. I was born in the year of the snake... It is a metal pen, but farely light. Very beautiful snake body pattern on the cap and body. It is a piston filler that does not have an ink window. The key to unscrew the piston comes with the pen. For me, the biggest minus is the clip. It is too soft. Only comes in EF and F nibs and Ebonite feed.<br/> <br/>#FountainPenPics #FountainPens #FountainPen<br/> <img src="https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/114/627/189/632/328/046/original/157f1f433da6d5ef.jpeg"> <br/> <img src="https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/114/627/191/496/679/820/original/1337f61cff203241.jpeg"> <br/> <img src="https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/114/627/192/139/225/512/original/d45d4255b1a34bae.jpeg"> <br/> <img src="https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/114/627/193/455/987/292/original/f45107103ffe8d08.jpeg"> <br/> 2025-06-05T11:00:15Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqspzhd9x7zzdqmkaw232nu0mnexkuxa2ft8uz8crhnzn8qf3nlg4zszyr6wzcsvmstzqmp08plepmv588lsej9xq8y6s7xcyk0ywy0d7h2kqlvc2mx In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqstyl5nvghjmwv5zv0x7afex0uj6j8gfexeya9css4rtfc50cgjm8c4tjfyp'>nevent1q…jfyp</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>A quote by Robin Williams is written in Sailor Yurameku Kyokkou chromoshading ink and his name is written with Van Dieman&#39;s Encore collection Pas de Deux chromoshading ink.

Nib is smooth and wet and has a little bounce. Ink is Pilot Iroshizuku Shin-Ryoku. Overall, It is a very well made pen. Only minus is there are no ther nib options, though Schmidt nibs are available on many sites.

Arrived today, on my birthday! It is a Majohn V60 with 1.1 stub nib. Nib feels very smooth on my finger. As you can see, piston does not go all the way down. Doodlebud tried adjusting it and while it is possible to remove the piston, adjustment is not possible. Ink capacity is about 1.6ml. So if you need to grease the piston - remove the nib, add tiny bit of silicone grease to the wall of the ink chamber, run piston up - down.<br/><br/>#FountainPen #FountainPenPic #FountainPens<br/> <img src="https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/113/912/928/161/102/361/original/537380c6ea6ae7fc.jpeg"> <br/> 2025-01-29T18:03:18Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsxhfvwrct2djm2pfjy0ks83hseupgp23d0ynj6nxt64rdltj2zqxszyr6wzcsvmstzqmp08plepmv588lsej9xq8y6s7xcyk0ywy0d7h2kqgrctu3 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsza7skrluqhv68pntc245zkmwa483u9xu37q4fedtleh3ldanhuccqmp8fl'>nevent1q…p8fl</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I&#39;ve never heard those version.

It was agift to me. It&#39;s a Scriveiner pen with a Medium nib. It is made in China for a London comapny, but they provide 2 year warranty. Pen looks nice, and light. I have not inked it up yet.<br/><br/>#FountainPens #FountainPenPics<br/> <img src="https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/113/762/094/599/422/431/original/d42e6d6234150d9b.png"> <br/> <img src="https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/113/762/094/594/629/456/original/3c289a9bb96086e7.png"> <br/> <img src="https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/113/762/094/650/990/989/original/47d0f7d803bb72bc.png"> <br/> 2025-01-03T02:40:25Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs0tsqzqnkn77w6qx608u5m05uvya9s46rewlzn7pqfp8p4uk6z03gzyr6wzcsvmstzqmp08plepmv588lsej9xq8y6s7xcyk0ywy0d7h2kqsauf0u <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1jg3sk5l0umnyq0rs9zzfwyug5vqrkstamac8cq4w07uypfqmfd8qnezt0s" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Penfount • Pen Community</span> (<span class="italic">npub1jg3…zt0s</span>)</a></span><br/><br/>Happy new year everyone!

Asvine came out with a new pen! C2000. Material is stabilized wood, meaning they add resin to the wood to make sure it is stable for production. It comes with a No 8 nib and tipping sizes offered are F, M, B and 1.1 Stub! I am thinking of getting a stub...<br/><br/>By the way, I couldn&#39;t find it just by searching.<br/><br/>#FountainPens<br/><br/><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Asvine-C2000-Stabilized-Calligraphy-Collection/dp/B0DNQ4XDWN?crid=23PYDWI7VJ9IY">https://www.amazon.com/Asvine-C2000-Stabilized-Calligraphy-Collection/dp/B0DNQ4XDWN?crid=23PYDWI7VJ9IY</a> 2024-12-31T20:51:03Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs0znur4tex6hwaz2x76fj46j67ww58nk0fvhrehrh8rve5h8ca9gczyr6wzcsvmstzqmp08plepmv588lsej9xq8y6s7xcyk0ywy0d7h2kqvqvyuv In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsfp27mj20qgg9znnq62lkzxrspl4t9jujjdl9u4nt4lw0qrw9r2ss78dwt9'>nevent1q…dwt9</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>1.
