Sounds like the ink is drying out in the feed and on the nib.  I have a lot of pens that have caps that don't seal very well and dry out.  Doesn't matter if they're cheap or expensive. 

I've been having this problem more often than usual of late.  Infuriating.  I'm trying to figure out if it's related to the weather!

Change in the weather perhaps?  Is it hotter or dryer than usual where you are?

I’m using a Pilot Prera Iro-Ai in green ends filled with Blackstone Australian Bush scented ink (eucalyptus), a brand new Kaweco Sport Skyline in Ocean Blue, a City Luxe in Singapore exclusive, inked with a cartridge of J Herbin Bleu Myosotis, and a Faber-Castell Grip 2010 turquoise, filled with a cartridge of GvFC  Violet Blue.

Today's pen is an orange Kakuno with a fine nib and Diamine Burnt Sienna. The pen is running a bit dry and/or the ink not lubricated enough. I'm torn on what to order - have it down to Teranishi Tangerine or Taccia Koiame. Maybe. I don't know. Keep changing my mind with every review I find. :wacko:

Will work for pens... :unsure:

I'm using a lovely gray Scribo Feel with a 14k flexible nib. I saw a YouTube video of Scribo's new 18k EEF nib, which I think would suit me better. Does anyone know if Scribo or their dealers can exchange nibs?

I don't have any. I don't really like watches.

Colder.  Which also makes it drier I suppose.

This is my Cross 175th Anniversary.  Beautiful color and it's a really good writer!
