Great, the fist of the flock has come home to roost! Don't let on to what the surprise is, otherwise it wouldn't be a surprise! Oh, and since I didn't actually order any of the ink (although I did consider getting a sample set), if you are interested in seeing the ink on a Flex Art Review, I'm willing to accept samples to do that. Another successful inkvasion is in the history book!

Breathe. Take one step at a time. Don't sweat the small stuff. You're not getting older, you are only moving through time. Be calm and positive.

Thanks - no rush on the samples. I've got over 80 samples waiting to be done!

Not sure about how practical the logistics would be of making a sample set when I pick up my ink. I have vials from Dillon. I think I only have 7 syringes though, so that would only get through half the colors.

I could give you the vials and money for postage and you could send the samples after you get home - would that work?

That won't make nearly as good of story as scrambling trying to fill ink sample vials in a parking lot, but sounds much more practical :). If you are willing to help with postage, it won't be an issue at all for me to fill up vials and send them to you.

The inks arrived and in great shape, plus there was a bit of candy neatly packed.. what a cool and fun little bonus!

Thank you so much for putting all this together. I'm at work and have to do laundry and pack for a trip tomorrow, but even if I can't get a writing sample up tonight I will do one soon.

 

Thanks again!

It looks like the cap can be put back on if you don't want to decant the whole bag all at once. My other thought - could you use a syringe to add a little water to what remains, and squish it around to try to capture all of inky the goodness? You could use the syringe to suck up the last drops. Nice photos!

I do think the cap could be put back on and it would reliably hold the ink in - maybe I'll test it out in a sink overnight - we'll see ;)

 

I think that was is left in the bag is literally just drops. My Noodler's 30ml bottle was filled. I was having a hard time even getting a q-tip full of ink out of the bag at the end there!

Yes, the cap can be replaced and left over ink left in the pouch. These pouches are reusable grade pouches, much stronger than the single use pouches that you see in the supermarkets with food in them. The cap can be replaced and they can be reused - they're dishwasher and microwave safe. They were actually designed for home made baby food.

 

You can improve the ink's shelf life in the pouches by squeezing the pouch to remove as much air as possible.

Hi Sinistra

I am sure your pooch is not worthless. He/She gives you lots of loving and kisses. He/She just has issues catching those frisky wabbits.

I was the last one to receive my inks because I choose to wait to pick them up during a trip I had scheduled to Sinistral's area. I will get around to writing about some of my experiences with the inks (has been positive), but that will come later. For now just a quick PSA to trust by verify the caps. I was storing them on their side in the bag they came in and got really lucky that the ink seems to have been contained in it and did not get all over where I had been storing the inks.

This seems to be the offender. Crimson. I tipped it upside down and it is definitely leaking from under the cap. The cap is definitely on securely. Probably was just a bad bag.

 

Now to go clean up the rest of the pouches.

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
