Has this ever happened to you? I just happened to me...

Ok, so I've been at this hobby for 20+ years. I love the variety of all of the different filling systems. I've never spilled a drop of ink. Ever.

Today I inked up a blue swirl Asvine V800 1.1stub with Kobe Minatogawa Lime #19. Wrote a page or so, then set it aside.

Opened a few journals/notebooks to the pen & ink log pages.

Picked up the V800, removed the cap, and unscrewed the ink reservoir lock. Ink spurted out EVERYWHERE!! What a mess!

TIL: When you reach for a blue Asvine V800 vacuum filler but instead pick up a blue ebonite Asvine J16 piston filler and unscrew the end cap, unexpected things happen. The more you know.
