Here is a brief review of Noodler's Dragon Napalm.

My scanner couldn't capture the colour correctly so I used a camera instead, hope it helps!

I can't see the image, and it's not clear where one should right click.

 

I'd love to see more scans of this. Elaine's initial scan pre-release wooed a lot of us, but then subsequent reviews showed it as a peachy vermillion.

 

Waaah, waaahh, we want scary fiery mercurichrome!!! Not burning flesh. (okay, bad joke, but so is the ink name.)

Nice color! I'd love to see a comparison scan with some other inks.

Napalm in my Pilot 78G B (stub) is a rather nice bright red. Believe I shook well.

 

Did get the wonderful mercurichrome effect when taking off the lid. Flipped it all over the white kitchen counter, stove, my fingers. Cleaned up well, even the spots I found a couple days later. Well, the fingers did look pretty kid like till I got a shower.

 

Not coming out of the pen exactly as expected. Guess I thought it would be more like a redder Apache Sunset, that is, more shading. Maybe be different in a different pen.

 

Napalm and Baystate Blue on the same page wake you up from the winter blahs. A Good Thing.

I was recently sent a bottle. Unfortunately, it comes out a bright flamingo pink, with no hint of orange. Perhaps the bottle needs agitation ...

I just got mine from Swisher and tried it in a Safari 1.5 nib. It looks very similar to Apache Sunset....Napalm a bit brighter, and along with Baystate Blue are truly VIVID! I was a little disappointed because I thought the Napalm would offer more shading.....but not so far.

      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
