if that is all the colour there is (i.e. poison blue) - reely might as well give it to someone. hmmm, maybe i could trade it for a bottle of werewolf blood :-).

Found, in my collection, a pen for this ink...

Stuff you find in pen caps.
A sheaffer targa gotten of an auction (and filled with diamine coral) kept writing in murky orange-brown. washing the cap out kept washing purple ink out.
finally, went into the cap with a hooked wire. this is the hairball that came out... it is suffused with purple ink.

That's interesting. I have not had any pen fail to sheen a Diamine (but, I admit, I mostly use broader nibs with sheening inks). Alexandrite and Desert Rose work tremendously with anything I use, even extra fine nibs, too.
But I will have a look at Colorverse and Birminghams - maybe there are some sexy colour I have yet to see.
But, for some reason, I am somewhat fallen out of love with Watermans. I am slowly finishing my Inspired Blue and Tender Purple and then that might be it

I used to mainly use Waterman inks, but then discovered Diamines. So far, they seem to feel the best inks I have had the opportunity to play with, among Pelikans, Troiublemakers, Montblancs, non-name Chinese and a single Vinta (which is a HORRID ink).

They flow quite well and have reasonable bottles (i.e. one can stick a medium-sized section in 'em).
As for buying - I was given the four I have by a friend. If I had to decide on buying, then I'd stick to Diamines.

The other two ON inks - Oil Spill and6 o'Clock - are overdark, much too overdark, versions of Diamine Alexandrite (former) and Troublemaker Lam Ang (latter). I prefer the original articles.

That pen and nib combination was bought (from Appelboom) by a friend who, luckily for me, likes new pens more than he likes reason. If memory serves, the nib is a special production run by Leonardo for Appelboom.
As for inks - i have four. Roasted Seaweed is the fugliest green ever seen by human eyes. Millionaire Dream is a nive enough ink, but only in very wide and wet nibs - like Pelikan's Rose Quartz, it is invisible otherwise.

Has anyone tried inserting (please, no lynches) a Chinese nib of some sort (or, in fact, any other nib) into a Sailor Profit Jr?
I have a Fude nib lovely little Sailor and the fude nib is as useful as tits on a bishop and I would gladly replace it...

yes, but the transport charge is good mainly for more expensive items. buying two notebooks and transhipping is meh.
that is why amazon prime makes it so damn tempting.

the waterman purple was my main ink for nigh 20 years until i discovered diamine...

By the way - which pen is that? One of the chinese pocket things?

Yes. Pilot has had the same nib units since (if I am not mistaken) "gen 4" (roughly 1973).

i am never able to travel with one. usually, i take a pilot elite (vintahe or modern) plus an italian pen of some type.

The totality of my (gen 8 - faceted) Pilot Capless. From top:
* Matte black
* Chrome black
* Chrome black (NOS)
* Chrome black (NOS)
and two spare nib units (i am looking for a Decimo body for one of these). I also have two modern (gen 9) Capless pens (which i find too thick for my liking).

In a trivial auction at a local site scored a Pilot Faceted Capless Matte Black in addition to a whole pile of starter pens (and a damaged Lamy 2000 which I hope to find spare parts for)...
Pens: A bunch of simple Parkers, a Senator, a weird Soviet pen, a Pelikan M150 and something so weird that I am not sure it should see the light of day
