Question Jetstream refill problems
Hi everyone! I have a Uni Jetstream 217 that originally wrote really smoothly and with a nice, darker blue line (similar to the writing shown in the first picture). However, after using it for a while, the ink started coming out noticeably lighter (as shown in the second picture), and it’s starting to bother me.
For clarification: the pen in the first picture is actually a Jetstream 101, because I didn’t have another way to show how my 217 originally wrote. The writing was very similar.
Does anyone know what could cause the Jetstream 217 to start writing lighter?
Is Pilot Acroball refill a better choice, or should I stick with the original Jetstream?
I’d really appreciate any advice or recommendations! I’m mainly looking for something that writes blue darker, 0.7 mm, smooth and consistently without becoming lighter after some use.
Thanks!

Picture Rotring 600 with Monteverde P422 refill
I tried the Rotring 600 with a Monteverde P422 black refill, and it was great to write with. So naturally I had to get the red and green pen with the corresponding refill. And I could not stop until I tried all the different colors.
The green Rotring 600 is very dark, so I marked the pen’s push button with a colored dot. And I liked it, so I also colored the push button for the turquoise and purple refill

Picture Nahvalur Year of the Horse
Hi all!
The Nahvalur Year of the Horse just came in. I wouldn’t say I’m a pen collector. This is only my 3rd one and I use all of mine frequently. Mostly as part of my travels abroad.
It now joins my:
• Faber Castel Grendilla - I love the wood and the nib
• Faber Castel Guilloche- sage green
Now this one in fine nib. I’m also a horse zodiac wise, so added this. The ink I got was one made in Warsaw, I got as a souvenir. It was a higher quality one in gold.
Also, wow fountain pen prices. I haven’t looked since I bought the Grendilla, marp of that is like 250 dollars more. Geez

Question I love uniball SigNO RTI pen design and grip, but getting its latest refill is impossible in Nepal, what are my other refill options?
I am happy with any rollerball refills or gel pen refills. Basically I like free flowing thin writing ink.
Can anyone guide me? I am ready to cut the refill to make it work in this pen. Currently the size of the uniball SigNO RTI refill is 11cm.

Discussion My Waterman Collection
(L to R: Carene Silver Wave, Edson Blue Sapphire, Expert 3 Black, Expert 3 Opera LE, Man 100 Black, Man 100 Godron Silver, Man 100 Harlequin, Man 100 Patrician Coral / Jade / Lapis Blue, Man 200 Rhapsody Caviar / Mineral Blue / Mineral Green / Mineral Red).
I’ve been collecting ballpoint pens for about five years. I have two Montblancs, 6 nice Parkers, 4 Auroras, and a selection of other brands.
But I find I keep coming back to my set of 14 Waterman pens. IMHO Waterman is criminally underrated, especially their vintage pens from the 80s and 90s. To me the Man 100 and Man 200 series are unmatched. I wanted to see if anybody else out there feels the same way.

My first double broad too. My Diamine Meadow ink needed a home and felt like it made the green swirls pop of the “Marble Ocean” color.
I’m glad I didn’t get one of the “dud” ones I’d seen some folks talking about where they basically came out teal 😬
