Just a tip, when filling an eye dropper FP, as You are screwing on the section/ nib housing once you're a couple of turns away from being seated, You then must invert the pen nib side down, and then continue to finish screwing it tight, and this will force a few drops out of the nib, and in doing so You will prime the pen. Now no trouble with waiting for the ink to reach the tip of the nib. Good to go!
great tip! Thanks!
@@AndrewBroussardWatercolors you could also drip a drop of ink in the section/grip before screwing it onto the barrel. it will easily penetrate the feed and thus prime the pen
It also works to just tighten it up then invert the pen nib down over the ink bottle and unscrew and screw in the body a few times till the ink drips out the nib. You’re basically turning the pen into a vacuum and then a pump. It sucks in air then pumps out ink. It also works for an overly wet feed. Just unscrew the body with the nib pointed upward to suck ink into the body. Then retighten the body with the nib still pointing up.
Goulet pens did a testing for waterproofness of fountain pen inks and Platinum Carbon ink was the winner =) I recommend watching the video because it's fun.
Hmmm... no comments! My bottle of Noodler's Whaleman's Sepia arrived today, along with a TWSBI Eco with a stub nib and the free Charlie pen.
I have a Pilot Falcon that I will probably put some of the sepia ink in and use that for writing in my bullet journal. But I filled the Charlie and it wouldn't write. I had forgotten that the feed needs to be pulled and washed on first use. You reminded me of that.
So it's writing now. This is not a bad little pen. Even if I'm something of a fountain pen snob, for a pen that I could take into the field and not worry about damaging or losing it write pretty well. Nathan is a pretty good designer.
I'm not much of an artist although I can draft pretty well. I appreciate those who make drawings as it's a skill I don't have.
So, have a good one and thanks for the reminder.
Thank you and no problem. The Charlie pen is a good little expendable pen like you said. Im quite jealous of the Whaleman's Sepia! How do you like it?
Find the fix for burping with eyedropper pens and I'll use them. My Charlies work well right away until they drop a puddle of ink in the middle of a page.
I think its a matter of intro free pen, volume etc. I wonder how many keep using it after trying different pens (i pocket carry a Japanese pocket pen from the 1970s)
The fix is topping it up after it gets lower so the warmth of your hand doesn't cause the air to expand and shove the ink out the end..
Epic Taiwan name drop
Looking at how you disassemble the pen, I wonder if I might be able to change the nib for one of my dip pen nibs. I know the cream plastic Daiso fountain pen by Platinum works with them as long as the nib is of the shorter (in the connection part) type. So it might work the same. I can't wait for mine to arrive!
yup dip pen nibs may work, I know some people put the Zebra G nib on the larger noodlers fountain pens. Hope your experiment is successful!
@@AndrewBroussardWatercolors It wasn't. Charlie is too small. I guess if I bent the connecting part of the dip nib might fit but I don't want to risk breaking it.
Sorry to hear that. The old vintage gold fountain pens may fit in the charlie pen.. i think the waterman nib fits.. or the welty.
That thing with friction fit nibs where you can just pull them out easily...doesn't work for me. I own several pens with friction fit nibs and feeds (a few Metropolitans, Jinhao x750, Conklin Duragraph, Noodler's Charlie etc.) and I haven't been able to pull out the nib and feed in any of them. Not once. I didn't try it yet for the Noodler's because there's no need to yet, but I pull like hell and I feel like I'm going to break the pens before I pull out the nib and feed... I either have noodle arms or I'm doing something wrong hahaha. I presume the latter is the case...
