Twsbi Eco Dripping Ink-2


Aditkamath26

Recommended Posts

Seems like I spoke too soone in my previous topic. My TWSBI Eco is just the same-dripping ink. I cleaned it out again and filled it with water to see what exactly was happening.

-When the pen is in writing position, air bubbles from the nipple of the feed rise towards the top of the ink reservoir one by one.

-This is followed by water rushing into the section and filling it completely.

-And after that, it drips ink or water.

 

Anyone had this? I love the pen but it has given me problems unlike many of my pens.

 

Thanks and regards,

Adit

Adit, I think you should contact TWSBI support. From what I've heard, they don't require you to return the pen. You may not even need to provide pics / video of the air exchange you describe (though if you can, it'll probably be appreciated). I'm sure it's just a case of the tolerances being off in exactly the wrong ways.

Just make sure that nib and feed are sitting perfectly by pushing both inside the section. A gap between feed and inner end of the section causes dripping. Pull out nib and feed and re-insert both if possible.

Sounds like you've got an air leak. Possibly the nib and feed aren't seated in the section securely, or there could be a crack in the section. Contact TWSBI. They should get this sorted out for you.

This. TWSBI has always been brutally efficient in helping customers, I had a similar issue with mine. The interior O-ring was defective or something of the sort and they fixed it for me.

      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
