TWSBI Diamond 580 vs Pilot Varsity

Additionally, the ink capacity on the Kaweco has never been a problem for me, as it always got me through at least a whole day of college notes with the EF nib.

My approach will be to use a lathe and a cutoff tool to cut the cap off the barrel. If this lets me refill it, I'll put a favorite blue ink in it (probably Herbin's Eclat de Saphir or Private Reserve's DC Supershow Blue), glue on a new cap, and start using it again. I bet it will work!

The price for such a good fountain pen is unreal. Pens of similar writing quality made in Germany, Italy, or Japan cost 2 and 3 times as much.

If you are looking for colorful fountain pens which come with the ink and are disposable for projects, these are the best bang for your buck!

5 ultraflex in TWSBI 580 and it just didn't work - the inkflow wasn't there. Every #6 nib I placed into PenBBS struggled to function (and taking out the feed each time was a literal pain I do not want to repeat again). I bought Lamy nibs by mistake and don't even want to start down the Lamy road, so I'm leaving those untouched. I still love all the pens I have, but for future purchases, I think I'll stick strictly to the pens that take #5 or #6 Jowo nibs without much of a struggle in the feed

**Platinum Plasir** - this is basically a preppy with a more durable non transparent design. I really enjoy this pen because it is just a preppy that is more attractive and durable.
