Most Boring - On Emptying A Bottle Of Tsuki-Yo

[Frank C]

My bottle of Tsuki-Yo came 4-5 days before your first post. Started using it immediately.

This might be a race, now. I need to dust off my other bottle of tsuki-yo 月 依 and try to catch up

[Dhruv_Sood]

Not really.

I use it in EF Nakaya nib so you will win unless i go crazy and start writing 30 pages in a day, which is the plan.

 

 

Not nearly as titillating without the tassel.

 

My dad was fiddling with the ink bottle and managed to open it somehow, can't seem to tie it back on. Not able to tie the knot properly.

Race as you wish. I won't be racing along. For me, it's about the journey, not the finish.

Moreover, I use this ink in only two of my pens that are not always in rotation...

Sorry about that. I just get excited, sometimes.

I use it in only 1 pen the minuscule capacity Nakaya converter with EF nib which takes up extremely less ink.

This thread is very satisfying. Thank you!

With every picture I like the colour more. ;-)

this must be one of the most exciting threads on FPN at the moment - pmsl - enjoying it very much :-P

eight' refill (Lamy vista 1.5)

 

 

 

Touching the rim of the paper!

[blackcat99]

ooh exciting

[Fabienne]

The suspense is killing meeee.

[Oldtimer]

The pen at the side! Why no one has suggested that? That's what missing.! I really love the idea of the time lapse. There is an Instagram photo of a bottle of Iroshizuku against a great sky; you take the photo from a low level. Genious!

Well dang. I was doing a bit of a race on emptying a bottle and was doing very well. I had only about a fourth of a bottle of Asa Gau to go and then tragedy struck. I broke the cap. Grrr. So the rest of the ink was mixed with some Parker Blue and the bottle (the only reason I bought the ink in the first place) now rests in the recycle bin. I hang my head in shame.

Am I normal if I say I get more and more excited as I see more photos?

It find it hard to understand as to how the cap would break. The cap does get stuck sometimes when you don't open the bottle for a while, but doesn't get that stuck that it would break. I usually apply little force to open it slowly so that the ink doesn't spill if the cap opens too abruptly.

Even if the i drop the cap from 4ft, I don't think it's that fragile. Or did something else happened to yours?

 

On the topic: I've had 2 more fills from my Iroshizuku bottle and I'll be dropping out from the race. I have ordered 12 sailor ink bottles and now I'll be doing some switching and hence tsuki-yo will go into rotation.

I over-tightened it and it cracked. Oh well.

Iroshizuku caps are known for breaking.

 

The ink on the bottle threads will sometimes dry, sticking the bottle to the cap and making it difficult to open. The cap can crack when trying to unscrew it.

 

Over tightening the cap can also crack it. I've also heard of the cap cracking for no apparent reason.

 

I play it safe by wiping down the bottle threads with a lightly dampend cloth and tightening the cap no more than necessary. I have thought about buying an empty Iroshizuku bottle in the event that the unfortunate should occur.
