I think the 159 is supposed to be bigger/heavier than the 450. Never owned one myself.
tbh chinese pens are so cheap just buy a bunch of them
means you dont have to worry about getting a shit nib as well
Chinese fountain pens are actually some good shit too
yeah
Especially Jinhao and Hero
especially now they have the pilot 78g nib tooling
Duke's also a solid choice.
X450 was my first fountain pen.
Ooh that's pretty.
Looks like TWSBI holy fuck
if you want a cheap twsbi/piston filler
I think my first was a 616 10-pack
they're not very durable but neither are twsbi kek
mine was prob a safari
TWSBI are made in Taiwan. They aren't too durable.
You also have to clean it with a very light mixture of water and soap.
i just let mine stain
yeah my 540 had problems
i think my 580 did too?
My 540 broke.
not sure what happened to that
if i lost it
The piston fucking *snapped*
or if it's bits
lol
at least the wing sung 698 is cheap
Didn't take any force either, and I lubricated the fucking thing
I'm horrible at choosing ink colors. I just use the Hero 232 blue/black
i stick with j herbin
When it comes to ink, I stay far away from Chinese inks
i dont write enough to care about ink price
I had Noodler's 54th for a long time until it got mold
haha
the smell of the noodler ink
Most expensive ink I own is Japanese.
i fucking spilt it over my carpet
A lot of Noodler's ink is disgusting.
