Estie button piston question

Thanks so much. 8-10 pumps seems to work for my pen. Less messy this way. Thanks again.

Thanks for the info. I opted for the Sailor and have been using it as my primary writer for a week now. I must say that it is a very different writing experience than my TWSBI Diamond (F) and the Schmidt #5s on my YStudio Brassing and TC pens. It really feels like I’m writing with a mechanical pencil. I enjoy it. I now have the Diplomat Viper in blue on back order.

I use a passport sized Traveler's Company notebook, and in it, I use their dot grid refill which uses 80gsm Midori paper. I'm very happy with it. Other inserts I use are their 2024 monthly calendar, monthly free calendar, zipper case, and craft folder. I also use their passport size plastic sheet which I place under the page on which I'm writing to serve as a desk-like surface.

Thank you. It's a brass pen from The Traveler's Company using Diamine Writer's Blood Ink. The pen comes with a steel F nib manufactured by Shmidt, but I swapped it out with a Schmidt #5 EF nib.

Which pen do you use the most and why?

1y 10mon ago in fountainpens

I mostly use my Traveler's Company brass fountain pen fitted with a Schmidt EF nib because It's always with me attached to my Traveler's Notebook. My backup 2nd most used was YStudio's Brassing Portable which I ended up losing while traveling in Italy's Adriatic coast. I typically cary 2 pens with different colours. In the Traveler's Company pen I use Diamine's Writer's blood and in the YStudio, I was using Diamine's Hell's Bells. Having 2 pens with two inks enables me to have more flexibility in contextual jotting.
