I got Matthew the Technor Core...and you're right, it's an odd fountain pen! Heh heh...

He doesn't like the blue ink in it, so Steve is using it...but it did come with the converter so I'll put Heart of Darkness in it eventually.

I'm going to put the Legal Lapis you gave me in the Pink Preppy when the pink ink runs out.

That's the Core I've got, too! It's...not exactly sleek and classy.

The other thing I remember about the Core is that when it was new, it didn't feel all that smooth and sometimes skipped a bit. Like it had to break in slightly or something - I dunno!

I'd love to try the Heart of Darkness ink, but no rush, for sure! I want to find some bottles for ink, too, so I can play with mixing again. I'm thinking I may check the grocery where they have toiletry type bottles for travel. The catch is that many of those little bottles would have tops too narrow for a pen.

I've heard the mini Nalgene bottles are the ultimate (they come in a couple different sizes), but I don't know of anywhere locally that carries them. I wish we had an REI in town. What's up with a decent sized Northwest town not having an REI? It's not right.
