I want a Ti nib!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[farseer911]

How does one go about purchasing a piston kit to fix a first gen. pen? where can I send the money? I really would like to have a non leaky pen....

[killercode]

a transparent multicolored striped barrell and flex nib would be really fantastic

I am pretty sure if you reported leaking, you will get one free of charge.

[MJSchuelke]

Count me in for a smoke/grey/black color. I would definitely get one if available in one of those colors.

+1 for solid black. even better if a matte black version!! WOOT!!

+1 for solid black, too. Or solid dark blue.

 

Also, how would I go about ordering one from Europe?

[Crewel]

I would really really like demonstrators with colored swirls reminiscent of ink coming out of a nib in a shot glass.....BUT I am most interested in the Ti Flex nibs!

[myrrhman]

speedy, Imgur is the simplest and best way to host your images on the internet (no affiliation).

 

Really looking forward to seeing what some people around here can do with those flex nibs .

 

I gotta disagree.

Three months and no views and they remove your images automatically? Bluh.

 

You can get a free account really quickly, and then they never remove your images. Plus the creator maintains it based on the voice of an online community (Reddit), much like TWSBI.

My "vote" is for the darker blue. The new nibs are...great. Great. I have one of the Originals, with a small dab of ink that has leaked around the piston, but that doesn't stop the first TWSBI from being a terrific pen.

 

Can't wait to buy the next generation. I think the market is yours, Speedy & Friends!

:puddle: All I can say is stop teasing us and get a move on! I'll take one in every color. And please offer more nib types this time. Flex is great,

but throw in some broad and italics as well. And that ink bottle is to die for!

[WatsonDude]

Okay, I have "de-lurk" for just a minute. Speedy, you are the man!

 

Here's one more vote for a grey or smoke color body. The grey would look very cool with the titanium nib.

 

Thanks for listening to all the random ideas from all of us with a passion for pens! It's fun to be a part of your creative process.

 

Oh, and I'll be buying several pens as soon as the 1.5 pistons are ready for production.

I want................ I want................. I want...................

[surrix]

Those look cool. Where can one buy Twsbi?

 

I, too, am very interested in those Ti flex nibs.

I know mate.....I know.....we just have to be patient.....I know it's difficult.....you might try a couple of things already mentioned....

 

Take it apart and clean it best you can....a tiny smear of that silicon grease on both the piston seals and reassemble......if you can fill it with a syringe.......then do it that way....I didn't have one...... but, it doesn't seem to be leaking....yet........

 

Speedy will look after us as soon as he has a fix I'm sure

the piston kit will be send to you automatically, you don't need to pay for anything.

I will send new piston 1.5 to everyone who bought the pen already.:embarrassed_smile:

you can order from our USA ebay store (search twsbi) or write to our tpe office

info@twsbi.com. in these few days, order from Taipei since the stock in ebay ran out

About the solid colors pen, _{^{one big question}}

Do you guys mind this pen has no ink window? If no ink window is fine, then in very short time we can have tho pen (because I just need to add more color pigment into the barrel during molding).

 

If ink window is necessary, then big problem, we need to make new two color molding barrel mold; I know this will take much longer time.

 

How about pen with no ink window first, then take time working on new two color mold???? Good idea! right?:roflmho:

[speedy]

I believe Bock definitely has Italic nib. I will check with then.

[brunico]

I believe Bock definitely has Italic nib. I will check with then.

 

Thank you, speedy!

Having the solid color to start and then the ink window as an option later on sounds good. The window would be like an option you can choose to build the TWSBI to your personal specs. Very attractive idea. I think so anyways.
