Is there any further news on this? :)

 

I was informed by email that the CAISO models will not be back until April next year, so I guess they got delayed.

Thank you. That's not what I wanted to hear but of course these things happen. I'll intensify my search for a used one, but everyone seems to love their Conid's too much to sell :) Normally I wouldn't mind waiting but I suffered some nerve damage last year that's making holding narrow pens a literal pain, so I feel like a Kingsize would be perfect, but my experience of the TWSBI Vac which drove me nuts tells me I really want a CAISO :D

I'm sorry to hear that you have health-related discomfort.

 

If you're shopping for a Kingsize, you may find this information helpful:

 

CAISO Kingsize demonstrator with titanium section and blind cap: ~40g empty

Ebonite Kingsize: ~29g empty

 

*According to my kitchen food scale and corroborated by the Conid website

 

If lower pen weight alleviates discomfort, you may ask Conid if they'll build you an ebonite CAISO. Of course there is a small internal mechanism on the CAISO so that may add a gram or two on the ebonite --but still lighter than the titanium demonstrator.

 

Just food for thought ...and I concur that the CAISO system is pretty nice!

      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
