Hi Fountainbel, 

 

Are there CAISO feeds available from Conid? 

 

Thanks for any information!

I’ve been holding out for a CAISO since the last batch sold out years ago. I suspect I’ll be waiting a lot longer.

When CAISO was released my understanding was they had either 25 or 50 of each, torpedo and flattop. Then there was some technical difficulty in producing them or supporting them so they paused CAISO specifically (before pausing the business). It's a cool system & I hope they resume one day.

I just received a notice of availability from Penworld today for the Conid Regular Demonstrator Bulkfiller @912am.  When I checked the link @144pm, it was sold out already.

Did anyone received any CONID pen in 2024?

yup, got a conid bulkfiller kingsized earlier in the year.

Personally, I’m waiting for a Maximalistica and/or a Kingsize made out of Peek CA30. 

 

And rods with the Teflon surface tension-breaking rod attached to it rather than to the back of the feed.

Good news : The improved design of the Maximalistica overcomes the need to  install a tension braker needle !

Ah, awesome!! Any estimate regarding when the Maximalistica will be released? 
 

Also, a technical question: Have you ever tried roughening up the tension rod on the back of the feed? I’ve resisted the urge to experiment, but I’ve been tempted to try sanding the tip of it with some course sandpaper. It seems to me this could make the surface more hydrophilic.

Needles aside, I'm just looking forward to seeing more Conid's released.

I received both normal and demonstrator Eye of the Tiger Kingsize bulkfiller.
