Cult Pens Mega Ink Haul!

[@queenbuzybee4074]

„Ink erasers“ are used by all kids in Germany. They‘re called „Tintenkiller“ (=ink killer). Here in Germany grade school kids use fountain pens. Pelikan 4001 is a standard school ink cartridge and it’s erasable. If you want to search for erasable inks, it’s „löschbare Tinte“.

[@theinkarchivist]

Thank you for the info!

Came here to say the same thing! And they are by no means a novelty. The were already a common thing when I was in elementary school about 45 😯years ago.

The icon on the bottle in the "cuvee" set that you were unable to identify is either a corkscrew, which is used to open the bottle of wine or the resealable spigot that lets the wine out of the keg. We hope this helps.

[@theinkarchivist]

Thank you! That does help!

[@redmoonvenus7327]

The symbol is indeed a corkscrew, but the name on the ink says "robe dorée" which is the color of the wine. I assume it speaks of the young, unfinished wine, after it has been pressed, and at the stage when the juice is slowly taking its beautiful colour. Wine maker will open the barrel mid-process several times, to control the visual colour and of course the taste, of the wine.

Omg I just ordered Herbin Vert de Gris, and your swatch of Celadon Cat *is* the color I was hoping Vert de Gris would be, so maybe I actually need that one. 😅Definitely need Sailor's Warning too; I voted on these so I feel invested.

[@theinkarchivist]

Haha it's a good excuse at least! I missed voting this year by a month so I'll have to be more on the ball next time. I love that Diamine does this, it's great fun and all the previous ones went on to be bestsellers so everyone wins.

[@thieleaf_the_shelf_dragon]

i love the celadon cat, its similar to the sailor ink studio 162 i have, but a little greyer instead of pink ^^ i highly recommend it in the double broad kaweco, i've been using it for titles and headers in my journal, it reminds me of all the springtime rain we've been having in the uk

[@thieleaf_the_shelf_dragon]

also autumn oak! i adore it! but yes, it definitely doesnt photo accurate at all, ive been trying to show it to friends but it just looks normal orange

[@theinkarchivist]

I do love Celadon's cat as well! I put it in a Sailor EF just to experiment and I don't really mind it, but I'm sure it shines in a double broad so I will definitely be trying that! Yeah, Autumn Oak is a bit different to be sure and hard to capture on film/photo. I think I was overly harsh on it just because it wasn't at all what I expected haha. Thanks for watching and have a good one!

[@Pausewithapen]

Really like the looks of dusk and dawn. I wonder if dawn may end up being a touch to light in a FP

[@theinkarchivist]

It is pretty light to be honest, even in a double broad it is a bit hard to read.

[@Pausewithapen]

@@theinkarchivist good to know. I’m sure some beautiful art could be made with it though… just not by me 😆

[@Fclwilson]

Thanks for the introduction to new inks and stationers. I just ordered wonders of the world from cult pens.

[@theinkarchivist]

I'm glad you found it helpful! Cult Pens is a wonderful store, I love getting lower prices on European inks.

[@Fclwilson]

@@theinkarchivist honestly I assumed European inks would cost a lot more. Thanks for correcting this assumption.

@@Fclwilson They tend to be very cheap because most people use them in school, so the default assumption is "daily usage, not much money available" :)

[@jannahlyon]

Such a fun haul, thanks for sharing I enjoyed every moment :) I thought you would be in Ravenclaw, you seem so curous and intelligent 💙that Slytherin Green is pretty nice though! I was also very surprised by the Autumn Oak when I got mine - it was so much weaker than what I saw online kind of like a muddy yellow, I know a lot of poeple that love it though. I loved the Celadon Cat and the darker Dominant Industry one, when I place another order from Cult Pens they are going in!

[@theinkarchivist]

I'm so glad to hear that! And thank you, I definitely would love to be in Ravenclaw haha, I don't see myself as particularly ambitious so I don't really like being in Slytherin. (The ink is a 10/10 though) Autumn Oak is definitely interesting, I'm looking forward to playing around with it more. I know it's one of the more popular Diamine inks so I'm sure there's something to it, I think it just took me off guard. The celadons are so pretty! I love Celadon Cat thus far, and so I'm tempted by the Dominant Industry ink as well :)

[@taccora]

That pennonia color reminds me of Cult Pens x Diamine's Caribbean Green

[@sh_rl.lr_hs]

U should cover up the bar codes on the package labels too in ur videos, cause sometimes they have info on ur name & address

[@AxisOAnarchy]

Rose Quartz will be my first Edelstein ink and I'm interested in inking up a pen although I just filled my pistons. I'll probably put it in one of my LAMYs that I am currently soaking.

[@theinkarchivist]

It's a great first purchase, I love how unique it is and Edelstein's bottles and ink quality are just so good. I hope you love yours!

[@AxisOAnarchy]

@@theinkarchivist I got it along with one of Atlas’ mystery box and they pulled 4 bottles worth about $80. Graf von Faber Castell Royal Blue, Robert Oster Citrus, a purple Anderillium ink, and LAMY Topaz.

[@theinkarchivist]

@@AxisOAnarchy I've been super curious about that mystery box! I might have to get one sometime, that is an impressive range and I love getting things I wouldn't normally pick for myself.

[@dianedemasi]

I've been wanting to order from Cult Pens, but have been afraid of the shipping charges. Did you get any extra custom fees added after the order? Love the videos! and love the ink swatches with comparables at the end.

[@theinkarchivist]

Thank you so much! I believe everything was finalized at checkout, no surprises or anything.

[@dianedemasi]

@@theinkarchivist thank you!🙂

Sailor Warning looks very similar to the Coronation ink, at least from what I've seen in pictures and here.

[@theinkarchivist]

I haven't heard of that, I'll look into it. Thanks for mentioning it!

@@theinkarchivist It's a Cult Pens exclusive I think, in commemoration of King Charles III's coronation this weekend.

[@theinkarchivist]

@ It does look shockingly similar! I'm not planning on another Cult pens order for a while, but if something changes I'll definitely grab it for a comparison. I love that they've put it in the weird blue edition bottle for it, I really need to get my hands on one of those haha

@@theinkarchivist I bought recently the picnic collection (Diamine+CultPens) and I thought of ordering Coronation too... but I didn't because I'm not a fan of red inks and I thought... there's already Strawberry Jam in the box, you know, I didn't want to end up with an idle bottle and a few pounds less in my pocket, but I'm curious 🙂

[@perfectplume]

Since you mentioned this, why weren’t you allowed to read Harry Potter ? Just curious since I came from a “read everything in the library” household. We did not read HP either- not because it was disallowed : we were strongly encouraged to read the classics. I must say, it did wonders for my vocabulary! Excellent ink haul : Mandarin is fabulous !

[@charliemeizlish]

Urg… must not buy more ink (even if celadon cat isn’t quite available here yet - at least not from shops I normally purchase ink from) These are absolutely lovely inks. Thank you for sharing.😊

[@theinkarchivist]

I feel you, I might need a break after this one haha. Thanks for watching!

[@d2row96]

What are those pens you're using? Thank you 😊
