Here's an interesting—though perpetually misbehaving—ink from Noodler's V-Mail series.

 

It's the first ink I haven't been able to fit in the title section.

The dip nib for this review was the Leonardt Extra Fine Principal (which I promptly misspelled).

I love the yellowish color of this ink, I just wish it was better behaved.

I couldn't get OO to work properly, either. For me, it was drying up in my nib and clogging it. I mixed it with some Noodler's Rabaul Red (another flat ink) and came up with a very pleasing pumpkin tone.

 

It still bleeds through paper, but it at least flows well now.

Seems to me that this ink is misbehaving similar to Noodler's Bad Green Gator. Looks like a lot of spread and feathering which just kills any ink for me no matter how much I may like the color.

 

Thank you for the effort.

 

Aloha,

I bought this ink not knowing it would misbehave... Boy does it misbehave!

 

For me it doesn't feather, but it bleeds not even through one sheet but into the next! :headsmack: On Clairefontaine and Rhodia!!! Ooooffff!

 

I love the color though! I just have no opportunity to use it, and it has been untouched for over a year sadly.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
