    Great video. I would add one step. Before inking up the pen, dip the nib in ink and then write a few lines with it. If there are any gross problems with the nib, they will show up, and it is easier to clean and if necessary to return a pen that has not been fully inked. Also, I have found that when first using the pen, using the included cartridge is a good idea. The manufacturer's ink will likely give the best experience. After that, comparing how different inks affect the writing is fun.

    I DID SUCCESSFULLY PEN-ABLE A FRIEND! They had expressed interest in my collection, so I bought them a varsity when I went to a pen show. After using that (the ink was finished in a week or two) they realized that their wrist was less strained, and we went through different starter pens together. They ended up with a Lamy Safari which they love

    One thing I would add to using the bulb syringe: hold on to the grip section when you squeeze. Otherwise you might send your grip section flying - worst case into a hard surface nib first. I know I tend to use maximum pressure on the bulb when I use it to get through it faster. I'm not patient enough to watch it trickle through ;).

Definitely try more than one ink in your pen. Some inks aren't a good match with any one pen, so try out 2 or 3 from different brands to get a match you like. :)

  • @stevehuffman7453
    @stevehuffman7453 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    you want to blot the ink from the section when using bottled ink too. you only say the nib and feed. why get inky fingers if you don't have to?
    Why not pull the feed and nib (presuming they are not glued in/on) and clean them with a soapy old toothbrush (DAWN dish soap on the old toothbrush works great, and breaks down any residual machining oil and/or died ink that may be present) and running warm/hot water, and run warm/hot water through the section and if applicable the nib/feed housing? Scrubbing the feed ensures there is nothing between the feed fins or in the ink channels to impede the ink flow.
    Scrubbing the top and bottom of the nib also gets rid of any residual oil, any grit that may be in the slot, and any dried ink in the slit, tip, and the underside of the nib.

    I'm writing fanfiction and since the stories are always better when I pre-write them on paper, I found that I enjoyed using fountainpens. Also, writing with different coloured inks just makes me happy. However, when I'm in 'the zone' I notice that heavier pens always hurt my hand after a while. Could you recommend a high-quality pen that's actually not heavy? I'm aware that quality materials are usually on the weightier side, but I was wondering if there is some middle ground where I don't have to write with a piece of plastic and still don't cramp after a few hours.
    Thank you for all the efforts you make in making fountain pens accessible, even for 'non-professionals'. I enjoy your videos very much.

      @Gouletpens  2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Flushing your pen using water with a tiny bit of dish soap can be helpful, but fountain pen nibs don't need to be prepped like dip pen nibs do. With many dip pen nibs, they're not stainless steel so to prevent deterioration they're coated in a thin layer of oil that needs to be removed prior to use. Since fountain pens nibs are usually either stainless steel or gold, that's not necessary. Great question! - Drew

      Lamy tests all their pens with a machine and should always have a tiny bit of ink, what would probably be fishy is not to have the ink. As for gold nibs I'm not really sure if they test them also.

    Omg I’m getting Big Bang Theory vibes except this in the pen version 😆 i ordered two fountain pens from Etsy and they are on their way to me very soon 😆 I only bought them because my support worker used them and she reminded me of my dad because my dad used them and loves them too! I feel like a right geek but I can’t wait to start using my pen 😁😁😁

      @@Gouletpens Drew, thank you for the reply. I have finally got it working. I don't know what the issue was, but I filled & emptied a few times and voila the pen is working. I love the pen and this is going to be very fun! I got two for Christmas with some ink and accessories.

    I got my Kaweko pen's spare cartridges stuck in the barrel when I first got it. I was upset cause I didn't know how to get it out (it was tight) and it was a gift. I took the pen to my son (who have never use a FP) and he flick with some tool he had so easily.

    I try not to blot my pen because it's a waste of ink. I would lightly remove the messy ink from the nib, avoiding the tine 🙂

    This reminds me that I still need to make time to play with the pen that came with the wet erase ink... I guess I should have cleaned and prepped the pen beforehand. I better go put that on my calendar for this weekend before I forget again.
