Just got this really cool fountain pen in. It works so well, and writes so nice, I think I'm going to buy a second so I can have a different ink color.

@freemo @nerthos oh no i just dabble in it for fun as well, nothing too fancy;;

but is this wing sung 698 your first pen?

@hakui
Not my first, though it is my first piston style fountain. I've had one fountain pen from cross and used disposable fountain pens a lot. Though I just started getting into picking my own loose ink and using hte piston style to fill the pen. I bought a few specialty inks to try it out.

@nerthos

@freemo @nerthos you can get a converter for your cross pen as well! bottled ink is definitely more interesting than cartridges mm

i like switching ink colors frequently so i realized piston pens, with its higher capacity and being harder to clean than converters, aren't really for me

also one of the inks stained the plastic of my demonstrator so i have to live with that too

@hakui
Main reason I didnt get the converter is because i wanted a demonstrator so i wanted a see through pen. Also my cross is for sacred use (it is engraved with various spirtual symbols). So I dont use it in day-to-day use anyway.

@nerthos

@freemo @nerthos well, getting a converter is more for using bottled ink, whether it is a demonstrator doesn't have much to do with it

but it being your special pen sounds good!
