I first attempted to join during the ddos, which didnt work well. But I tried again, and here I am.

 

I had a stainless steel Parker Vector back in the late 1980s that I loved. I used it through college and lost it during a move. Just rediscovered pens the beginning of 2018, mainly as a delivery vehicle for all these amazing inks. I spend too much time reading ink reviews.

Hello and welcome to FPN, from Cape Town, South Africa.

To sit at one's table on a sunny morning, with four clear hours of uninterruptible security, plenty of nice white paper, and a [fountain] pen - that is true happiness!

Welcome neighbor, from Raleigh.

Oh, I know this of myself

I assume as much for other people

Than the sound of life’s sweet bells

So glad you were able to make it through! Consider checking out the new Jotter from Parker, you might like it! :W2FPN:

Perhaps. But other than the Con70 in my Pilot 91 SF, I’m not a huge fan of converters, and I've yet to reuse a cartridge. The day of cartridge-refilling grows near, because I need options for my VP.

 

I also have an Eco EF in the lovely chartreuse, a couple Moonmen 2s (EF and F), a Go stub for fun, a Vac 700r M I’ve not played with yet, and a few others. I’d like an opaque piston/vac to use with stain-prone inks.

Good taste in pens! Refilling carts is super easy with a syringe. You can get ten packs of 'em on Amazon for $5, and they last forever! Since you appreciate Chinese pens, definitely consider the Wing Sung 601. ~$15 gets you a well-made pen with an interesting filling system that holds a ton of ink, available in many colors. Also, their model 618 if you want a more traditional piston filler :D

      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
