Pen-Fi (FPs, RBs, BPs, etc...) [56k Warning]
Sep 16, 2014 at 3:02 AM Post #2,521 of 2,804
I must grab a sample of Syrah - it seems to have a dash more purple in it. I'm tempted to grab some Scabiosa, but in truth I'm a little scared of IGs. :ph34r:

I do have some DA Aubergine in the inbound package too.

Scabiosa is very well-behaved, I keep it in my black Pel M205 100% of the time, and have yet to have any clogs or other issues. This pen doesn't get all that much use, either, as I usually grab for whatever has a brighter, prettier ink in it (not that Scabiosa isn't pretty in its own way!). Can sit for weeks, and then start right up.

Okay, I've done some more thorough reading on IG inks and it seems the trepidation is unwarranted (probably). So next time I order some ink (when is that Herbin Stormy Grey due?) I will include a bottle of Scabiosa and give it a shot.




AND ... if my pen clogs, melts, explodes, withers, or spews forth slanderous lies, I will hold brhfl personally responsible.

How did I not find out about this thread! I've been collecting FPs for quite a bit now, don't have any pens to show off at this point in time, but I haven't had a chance to take some pics of my newly acquired Nakaya :)

My 580 fractured at the thread between the section and the barrel. It was a pai in the ass to replace. Never buying a TWSBI again. Will probably sell it and replace with a Pilot Custom 74 Demonstrator or a Pelican M400 when budget allows.

Oh, you don't want it to wither? Some people are so demanding!
Seriously, though, the only time I ever had clogging with an IG was Diamine Registrar left in an M300 for... at least a season. Bit of Goulet's pen flush cleared that right up. In my (quite probably unfounded) opinion, Scabiosa is a much gentler IG than Diamine Registrar, and I trust it not to go all cloggy on me more than many Noodlers inks as well. It's my default 'black,' it's the only ink I (intentionally) own more than one bottle of (okay, that's not true either, I have a cache of NOS Skrip Burgundy, but that hardly counts!), and it's the only ink that has a permanent (heh) home in one of my pens. It's... a good one. :)

Sorry for the poor photography, I don't quite spend money on cameras, as you can tell :p

OOooo... really nice!!  Do you have a problem with it rolling around on the desk?
 
I disassembled my PFM IV yesterday in order to replace the sac and O-rings and was left with this on the desk:
