Howdy, folks. I tried to post this to an earlier thread mentioning a leaky Carene nib, but the thread had no "reply" function. It must have been too old. So here goes ... I have a Waterman Carene that leaks ink around the base of the nib, so much so that I cannot write with it without getting...

Hi Everyone: I want to get a decent, but not too expensive pen which can hold a G-2 refill. I like this beauty of a refill. Essentially I want a pen that is not expensive ( $30, preferably $20). I want something that is modern, contemporary and simple. I do not like heavy pens, something...

Does anyone know of any place in North America that sells Pilot 2020 ROCKY Mechanical Pencils? Supposedly, these are popular pencils that are sold by Pilot in Japan but not in North America.

Hey there everyone. I've grown tired of the "5 for $3.97" pens you buy at WalMart and thought I'd give a fountain pen a go. I'm a college student, so cost is a factor. I don't /really/ want to spend above $50. I'm also a complete newbie to foutain pens, so I want something that is relatively...

Hello, I'm looking for recommendations on the smoothest ball point pen? Parker? Papermate? Sheaffer? Is there a difference in smoothness between black and blue inks in ballpoint pens? Especially pertaining to Parker ballpoint pens as most of my ballpoint pens are Parkers. What is that "fuzz"...

For those coming to this thread anew, this is a continuation of a completely off-topic part of a thread which was hijacked into an ATTEMPTED flaming session by someone who is either called Edward Bonaventure who goes under the name of david moeser, presumably for anonymity purposes (or...

I'm a high-school student, with a $75/wk. salary, so I'm not looking to get an expensive pen, but I'm getting or getting myself a journal this Christmas holiday, something I've procrastinated a long time, and I want it to look worthy of showing to my posterity, so I've decided to get a fountain...

Now that I've gone through the archive, I need recommendations because the links I've tried are old. What I'm looking for is an ultrasonic cleaner with a stainless steel tank, 40+ KHz, 50 watts. Hopefully priced $100. If you bought one, or know where someone you know bought one, I'd appreciate...

I know jack about fountain pens, but having bought one recently I'd like to buy another and have selected the Nimiki VP as a target. I like the clip design of the pre-Pilot pens and would like to find one for sale in a common finish that is reasonably priced. I'm not interested in the original...

I like Noodler's/Swisher's ink quite a lot, and I appreciate paying for ink and not a fancy bottle, but I have decided to get some bottles to decant the 'colored water' of my choice into. Partly this comes from having trouble seeing how far I am dipping the pen into the ink and getting it down too...

Hello everyone. Anyone at home here? ;) What do you like every day as a cheap, good fountain pen that doesn't need to be insured, or carried around in cottonwool by a team of hired guards? I was pleasantly surprised by the Sailor 1911 "Profit" 14K range. The medium one, more like a European...
