Stiff Piston Head In Aurora Saturn


clear1

Recommended Posts

Recently, I've had some talk with my pen friends.

I noticed a strange phenomenon. Their brand-new Aurora Saturn had a similar problem.

The piston head does not go down fully. Too much pressure is needed to push it down more.

Even with much pressure, it does not go down well.

 

It's like the inner side of the piston head, which makes the 'hidden reserve', is too small.

I find about 4~5 pens with the same problem. All Saturns.

 

I believe you can see what I'm talking about on the photo below.

Different from Uranos.

 

I asked to Aurora via the seller about this. Aurora's responce was simple.

 

"Nobody said that kind of problem."

(Hey, I'm saying it to you, Aurora!)

 

I wonder if other people had similar experiences.

Does your Saturn's piston head go down fully with proper pressure?

Smoothely like other 88s?

A few months ago I got an 88 Sigaro Blu which had the same problem. You would fully extend the piston blind cap but the plunger didn't go all the way down. Definitely not supposed to be that way with the Auroras. I have all of the galaxy editions so far and they all go all the way down to the bottom of the feed. I ended sending the pen back.

Thank you for sharing your experience. I guess this problem has been around for some time.

Sometimes get lucky and sometimes not, I guess.

      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
