I really wanted Purple Wampum, and then found another purple that satisfied my urge. I did end up buying a bottle for a friend and stealing an ounce of it for myself, I've had it in a Hero 329 I almost never use (at least a month between uses, usually) and it always starts immediately. Very good ink, very free flowing.

Be glad you got a Hero that doesn't dry out in a few hours like mine -_-

 

Well, I mean, three of my other Heros probably don't work as well. Plus, I recently sanded down (accidentally!) part of one of their feeds, so starting is a terrible bother.

 

But (not just lying for this review) I am going to change the ink in that sanded Hero to Purple Wampum in hopes that this wonderful ink will cure it.

I use Purple Wampum in my Lamy Vista and have no problems with it.

I also use it for my dip pens with out any real dissatisfaction.

Currently for me it is a toss up between the wampum and the martin...leaning toward the wampum.

      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
