Nemosine Singularity/fission: What's The Catch?

Karl, methinks you've misunderstood Behike. I believe that he is saying that while it may be a ROC-based company, the pen is assembled in the PRC. This just as some BMWs are assembled in the USA, it seems to entitle the company to call their car German product

I own a Fission. For $10 more I think the all-metal $24 Fission is better buy that $14 plastic body Singularity. Fission writes very well. Only problem I have noted is it's easy to scratch the finish on the pen - after just a few writing sessions I hd concentric ring scratches all around top of pen where you screw it on to post. Other than that it's a great pen. I may order a few more in nickel and pewter.

Nemosine is based in the United States, Pennsylvania to be specific.

Not on topic, but THANK YOU!! For showing me Nemosine, they look great and I never really paid much attention to them. I also just like the names of the pens :P (Science nerd)

Hi

 

I recently got a Singularity Demonstrator with a .8mm nib. It wrote sort of dry at first but now is starting to get into an acceptable level of wetness. Very smooth, easy and natural.

 

I love how the pen feels in my hand and how it looks. Would love to convert to eyedropper so would love to hear others experiences with this. Is it stable as an eyedropper? Does it spurt out ink when the ink level is low?

 

All comments appreciated.

I purchased a Nemosine Sigularity Demonstrator with an extra fine nib 6 months ago from Amazon, No problems so far, it starts easily and writes smoothly. I find myself using this pen much more than the more expensive pens in my collection. Plan to purchase a few more. Enjoy!

The barrel of the Singularity is pretty cheap plastic I am sure. Probably cheap materials is the catch, and a brand that is not as well known as something like Lamy. I have a singularity demonstrated, and while it may not be robust or very smooth, it is a very good looking and enjoyable pen to use that has never given me any problems.

These are mine, both two years old. The red one sports a recently-purchased Goulet #6 EF nib and is using a converter; the demonstrator, filled with BSB in ED mode, has a stock F. Both pens have done regular duty as eyedroppers. I have never had any problems with leakage or with erratic flow when the ink volume has gotten low. In fact, when in ED mode I have never had any problems of any kind that resulted from the conversion.

 

I prefer to use them in ED mode because of the extra heft. And I do use them that way whenever I think I can stand to have the same ink in the pen for up to two months. I don't use these as daily writers; and because the barrels hold so much ink, it usually takes about two months for me to empty them. (Visconti Blue and Omas Blue have been the most used inks. This is BSB's first time in one of these pens in ED mode. It has been in the demonstrator just over one week. I anticipate permanent staining, but as I'm a blue-ink man I think I can live with it.)

I love the smell of fountain pen ink in the morning.

      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
