Wow! My six Dollar pen piston fillers arrived today! I suppose that that's part of the wonder of paying more than 26% of the purchase price of the fountain pens for Priority Mail and insurance :roller1: .

On a sacred quest for the perfect blue ink mixture!

I hope all six work! I got a 3-pack and one had the tines too far apart to write at all.

I`m waiting on a Lamy CP1 Platinum that I bought yesterday. It is mint, but I have no clue which nib size it has. If I don`t like the nib I`ll send it to Lamy for an exchange. Now still four days to go until Tuesday...

Just took advantage of PenChalet's FPDay deal on a Diplomat Traveller with medium nib in the "flame" color. This will be my first Diplomat so I'm curious how it will write.

 

8 other ink bottles on the way....embarrassed at how much I spent on this FPDay!

So you were the one that saved me $50! I wanted one of those so bad but no broad nibs were available by the time I came across them.

I didn't really want a broad, but that was the only nib size they had.

I am anticipating a TWSBI ECO in Purple(Medium Nib) and a few Diamine inks. I am also considering an ECO in Green\(Medium Nib)

“Many boys will bring you flowers. But someday you'll meet a boy who will learn your favorite flower, your favorite song, your favorite sweet. And even if he is too poor to give you any of them, it won't matter because he will have taken the time to know you as no one else does. Only that boy earns your heart."

A Lamy 2000 from Cult Pens with a fine nib. They were 10% off with a free bottle of Lamy ink. It will join a medium 2000 I have used for years.

An awesome, iconic pen. Great choice! I have a BB with such a specific sweet spot that I'll have to get it reground.

A white TWSBI Eco with 1.1mm stub nib that I bought on amazon, fulfilled by TWSBI. I had $12.48 in rewards money. Sprint gave $5 to use at amazon on the one-year anniversary of my becoming a Sprint customer.

 

Amazon price $31.99 - $17.48 = $14.51

 

Last year while researching TWSBI Ecos, so many reviewers had white Ecos, and most had filled theirs with blue ink. I bought a black version last year, but the white version stayed on my mind. I think I’ll fill mine with Waterman South Sea Blue (now Inspired Blue).

 

Once the white Eco arrives, it will be my fourth TWSBI Eco.

I went to pen club, and a member had a Moonman M2. They have been on my radar, but getting to use it. Well with the title of this thread, you know where this is going. Ordered, and already thinking I might put Sheaffer Skrip Red (new) in it.

I'm now waiting on a trio of nib regrinds

 

a spencerian mod for my new pilot metal falcon

 

A japanese EF grind on my aurora optima flex

 

and a reverse architect/japanese EF grind on my mont blanc 149 (if Gena Salorino thinks it's possible, otherwise she's just gonna do a normal japanese EF and tune it so it doesn't require pressure to write)

Waiting on a Conid Minimalistica. Ordered months ago. Starting to salivate over it again. Another poster here has said Conid is currently 9+ weeks behind, per his comms with them. So...early 2020, probably?

The white Eco arrived today! I flushed it, and it is drying now. I was going to put De Atramentis 225 Years the US Constitution, then changed my mind and thought of Waterman South Sea Blue. At pen club a member/friend gave me some samples including Franklin-Christoph Spanish Blue, which is now in the running.

Just about done waiting on a UK seller of the 'black mist' plaisir. Looks like I'll have to send an order to the distant lands of Yooesay.
