The fountain pen I've been using for months with the same ink and same paper suddenly started to burp today every 3-4 lines I write with it. This happens irrespective of the ink level in it.
I don't know what's the issue with it.

Today I've discovered a crack at the bottom of the barrel of my latest Click Aristocrat pen. Ink is leaking out of it. I can still use it with converter that came with the pen.
I had bought that pen less than 6 months ago.

I'm in love with XMPP/Jabber. I've been using it for months now and I'm very satisfied. I'm recommending it to everyone who'd listen to me.

Which is better way to fill the converter, and why:
1. With the converter is still attached to the nib unit... dipping the nib into ink bottle and pulling ink through the nib.
2. Detaching the converter from nib unit, dipping the converter directly into ink bottle, pulling ink into it and reattaching it with the nib.
To me the first one seems wasteful and messy as ink in on the grip section and on nib which I have clean. Is there any strong reason to do the (1)?

If I dip the nib momentarily into water, only water comes out of it for a long time when I write with it

I have bought a new Fountain Pen, Click Aristocrat. Since then I can't stop myself from writing with it. It has 3 in 1 filling mechanism, Cartridge, Converter and eye dropper. I like the eye dropper method as it can hold a huge amount of ink then.
One thing I noticed is that, when the ink becomes 60% of the whole capacity the nib less wet. I'll try to reproduce it again. I assume the which ink I'm using also plays a part in it?

I don't. Perhaps @npub1kx0…hnqj can give you some info?

My friend ordered a Click Aristocrat from clickpens.in, but due to technical malfunction the order wasn't showing up on the website, so she ordered it again. Later, she found that the pen had been ordered twice, and there's no option to cancel the order. She contacted the customer service and the response was amazing. The money was refunded to her same day from the account of Click's head. 😲

But there's still LibreWolf and Icecat browsers which are based on Firefox. Why would you choose a proprietary browser like Vivaldi?

Now all of my close friends, with whom I chat regularly, are on #xmpp! I'll be trying to get some more people. I had to distribute the Conversations app directly to them as they were unlikely to install "one more app" (viz. f-droid) to install Conversations.
I try not to mention the word "xmpp", instead I say "Just install Conversations". As hearing the word "xmpp" will probably scare them as well.
