Twsbi: Using Noodler Inks?

[millerb7]

Anybody use noodler in their TWSBI yet? Particularly the polar brown?

 

Curious if it will stain the pen or not. LOVE polar brown but love my TWSBI to much to stain it.

 

Only ever use Iroshizuku Yu-Yake in it so far.

I don't have a TWSBI...yet or Polar Brown, but I do have experience using Noodler's bulletproof/eternal inks in demonstrators. I've used Violet Vote, Legal Lapis, Old Manhattan, Bulletproof Black, and Luxury Blue as well as some non-bulletproof inks in various demonstrator pens including the Stipula Vedo and Ventidue models, a Lamy Vista, and a clear Pelikan M205. The only one that stained was Legal Lapis in one of my Ventidues and I attribute the staining for leaving ink in the pen for about three weeks. I have been able to get the barrel back to almost clear after a lot of cleaning. As long as you use the pen regularly and flush thoroughly you should be fine.

I've used Noodler's North African Violet and Noodler's Saguaro Wine in my TWSBI. I've had no stains. The pen is very easy to clean out. The barrel even withstood a little diluted Clorox Clean-up.

No problem getting Tulipe Noir out of it using nothing but water. I've no Baystate inks to throw at it, but it seems otherwise impervious.
