I've received a few requests for me to post about which pens I have inked and what they're inked with. This set of inked pens is from my most recent set of inkings, before I left for Canada. Just imagine... these were all full of ink and I had to use them all up in order to clean them out before traveling. It was a lot of writing, and a lot of ink to go through.
These are my current inks - some are samples, some are vials I work from my own bottles. ... I am ashamed to admit I have a few more vials that need to be in here but those arrived after this picture was taken. It's close enough anyway.

Hey there! where did you get those great trays to hold the sample vials?
Your samples look so neat in those trays! Mine will get jealous (they're thrown in ziploc baggies in a drawer lol). And I cannot believe you went all through that ink, wow! Care to share any tips? :p
We have several of the same pens. My wife has the tourquoise Safari and the JinHao 750 with that same finish. They were her first and second fountain pens. I should do a group picture of my pens for my blog.
Gouletpens.com and isellpens.com both sell those racks, I think.
LOL! My husband won that Jinhao from your wife actually... heehee! Which I have merely "borrowed" for the purposes of getting to know it a little!
I'd love to see a group shot of your pens :D
LOL! A touch of OCD is all. Keeps it in check. Lots of journaling and trying to find my inner self. Didn't find anything. LOL
Sorry for my late reply! Mike's got it - Goulet and isellpens. They were on sale at isellpens last I checked... (for $9.88 I believe, or $15 at Goulet)
That Jinhao X750 is pretty... Like a poor girl's VP! I must resist the urge to go look for the Jinhao on ebay...
I was just thinking I should get more pistons and stop using cartilages since I tend to change pens before the ink runs out. Maybe now I will. The Jinhao is very pretty! Might have to look into one of those.
It's so cheap, it would be insane not to buy one. Seriously. I believe they're like $8 - $15.
I far prefer built in ink thingies. I used to not mine cartridges (I prefer converters at the very least) but piston/levers are so much cooler.
The Jinhao is a great pen. It dries quickly but only if you leave it sitting for several days. And a dip in water will get it going with zero problems! It's super, especially for the price.
