I especially like the Jaipur V2 ebonite models. They feel and look much nicer. Great nib. I agree that this is not a pen for traveling or loose pocket or purse carry. Use other pens with less fun nibs for that. As far air travel, Vacuum fillers are the choice. Fountain Pen Revolution sells their ink additive to prevent railroading, I assume by increasing surface tension. I haven’t tried it, but I’d recommend giving it a shot if you have an annoying amount of railroading. You add only a tiny bit to the ink you are going to fill with, maybe in an Ink Miser.

@@nojane : I haven’t heard how well it works and haven’t tried it myself. I understand that only a very small amount it used, preferably in an Ink Miser or other small container.

I have the white version of this pen. Same experience with leaks. Way too wet as a normal use pen. I even gave up storing it as a normal pen because it was leaking regularly. Now I just keep it as a desk pen for shimmering inks, while other pens clog with shimmer inks. Alway stored nib up, but even then, it still acts up once in a while and gushes into the cap. It might be temperature changes causing it. It would be interesting to see if it could be a carry pen with a regular nib and feed.

3 weeks in the army, Isn't that a bit short for mandatory service?

My service duration is 2 years full time, then 10 years reservice. I said three weeks because that's my first confinement period before I get to book out.
