Too cute! I was tempted to order when this came out, but held off. You, my dear, are penabling me to change my mind. I do have the Opus 88 mini Coffeeholic and love carrying it as a pocket pen at school. I love that you filled with black ink. It carried the “classyness” of the cap and finial throughout the pen body. Perfection! 🌸. BTW, when it doesn’t write, loosen the screw, pull back on the plunger and push in again to force some ink toward the nib. You can reset the screw cap or close when you finish writing. Because I choose to write with my Opus 88 mini uncapped, I allowed it to roll off of my table. It landed nib down. At the time I couldn’t imagine how to repair so I ordered two replacement nibs of varying sizes to broaden my choices. The nib was easy to exchange. I still have the bent nib, and now with experience will be able to reattach and repair my bent nib. Have fun with this cutie.
Thanks so much for sharing your experience with these! Sorry about the penabling, but this pen is a beautiful addition to my collection for sure!!! Thank you also for the tip on getting these to write! Yay!!! It’s been writing like a dream all day today. The coffee one is very cute (I’m more of a tea fan) and I saw it in person but can’t remember where! I would have freaked out about a bent nib- glad you fixed yours and were able to get replacements! Thanks again for sharing all this with me!!! I’ll be mindful of it rolling off!!!!
Thank you so much for watching and welcome to my little channel! Let me know if you have any questions or if I can help with your fountain pen habit- I’m an “enabler “😍
@@KitchenCounterCrafts thank you so much! Your videos are so detailed which I appreciate so much! LOL! I have to agree that you assisted in the decision to purchase my first OPUS 88 Cherry Blossom in a broad nib. I purchased today. I found one for sale on Mercari. I figured I can always purchase a separate nib as I do not usually use broad nibs. Thank you! Super excited as I adore Sakura!
@@Faithandfountainpens congratulations on your new Opus!!! I’m so excited for you to get it! So… let me tell you what happened yesterday morning! My family and I were in the garage, getting into the car for church. I reached into my purse to make sure I had my mini Sakura for taking sermon notes. It wasn’t there! I actually panicked because I was at the Okc Pen Club on Friday night! I jumped out of the car and looked at my pen club bag, purse again, counter… nothing. Sad, I ran back to the car (now running late) & opened my passenger door- the pen was laying inside the car (in a sleeve), between the seat and the door! This showed me that if this little beauty was lost, I’d get it again!!!😍
Thanks for watching! Hmmm… that’s interesting about your experience with the mini. Do you own more than one? Was it the same as this? Were yours screwed on super tight like mine?
@@darlamaple6319 this fountain pen business is so very addictive! The crazy thing is that I have about 8 inked in the kitchen and 6 inked on my desk. They all get used during the week!!!
Hahaha!!! That was perfect!!! Take a look at Endless Pens! They have “double drop” where you can get a pretty nice discount! However, this mini Sakura is only at Goldspot! I hope you end up getting one (or two) because they are AMAZING!!!
