w00t!

 

While I dream of my future king size, I have a question: Has anyone experienced any problems with CAISO before? It’s obviously a brilliant design, but it seems like a klutz (read: me) could figure out a way to break something. In other words, would a non-CAISO pen be more durable/idiot-proof?

@es9  you sure are disciplined to save all those holidays for a Conid.  I hope you get the one you’ve been hoping for when the web shop opens up again.

Thank you all for your comments, much appreciated!

I've had a meeting with Werner today and he showed me his massive Conid parts stock.

Werner assured me again that they will restart Conid within a few months.

I'll surely keep you posted!

Kind regards,

Francis

 

@Yeetus: 
Are you referring to the acrylic ink feeds underneath the nib?

These will probably become available again, but only on the Kingsize Bulkfiller

Great news.
Will keep saving up for the day this happens.

Hi folks,

Just phoned with Werner and he assured me again Conid will restart this year, most probably in September

Best regards,

Excellent, plenty of time to set a ridiculously sized order amount away.  🤣

Ensuring a fluent back and forth ink transfer between the front  and main ink chambers all pens will be equipped with a new Teflon coated "surface tension breaker needle", now mounted in the top top of the piston rod.

Hello Francis, will there be a video demonstrating this new surface tension breaker in action? If I remember correctly, I shared a couple of patents and research articles with Jonas on the issue several years ago.
