I received a notification last week (also here in the forum) stating that in 4-5 days more info would be given. In my case, no notification, and no shipping, and no pen...

Got mine today! Thank you for doing this group buy, it went very smoothly and the pen is very nice.

Picked mine up from the Post Office today. It writes and I am wonderfully pleased!! Beautifully translucent and picks up the purple background.

Btw does anyone have pen cap with clip? I think I ordered clip, but got clip less... Just wanted to see it irl. Thanks

Got mine this week. Very nice pen with 1.1 stub.

 

I have only tried it dipped, but i found it a pleasant writer and the stub will be fun and offer me options for colors for my calligraphy learning efforts.

 

A worthy discovery - thanks for the group buy

Apparently mine has been shipped. I can't wait for its arrival! I love these frosted, translucent pens :-). I wonder if it's as massive as my ASA Galactic? I guess we'll see when it arrives....

I'm still waiting on mine. The last time I checked (on July 1) I was told it would ship in the next 3 to 4 days, but as of today, I still don't have the pen, nor have I received a shipping notice.

[Jamerelbe]

I received a shipping notice on 5 July - it took 10 days to arrive in Australia...

Looks good I just inked KWZ Honey 🍯 and it's so pleasant to write with 💛

It's much smaller and one of the most comfortable pens for long writing.

Can i use brill turquoise or camlin permanent black in it ? Will it stain it ?

[MediaVita]

Got the email.

Got mine a few days ago.

I filled it with Diamine soft ink and it completely refused to write, even after priming (which did succeed in leaving a large pale green stain on the paper) and leaving it nib down for a while. I soaked the section in soapy water overnight and filled it with Lamy green. It now writes very smoothly although too wet. Two issues remain:

1) I need to store it nib up to avoid drying out (apart than the standard Indian drilled hole through the cap, it also lets in a lot of air where the clip attaches - guess I should have specified no-clip and no-hole) and when I want to write I need to wait maybe half a minute before the ink reaches the nib.

2) There is what looks like the beginning of a crack on the cap lip. I saw it as soon as I unpacked and I don't think it has grown but it still worries me.

 

The Click decided it wanted to be called Skip, even after cleaning it. I'll try it again with a different ink later (I as usual have too many pens inked).
