Look what showed up today! Endless Phantom capless demonstrators (EF). Initial impressions are decent, but time will tell on the sealing. It's made it a couple hours without any sign of a hard start at least.
I tested the mechanism a bunch on both and it seems fine, no sign of the silicone door thingy coming loose.
The one with green ink feels a little smoother than the one w/bronze ink, but it could be a difference in the inks, too.
@terri I've seen quite a few complaints like that, which is why I'll be keeping a close eye on mine. They claimed to have "fixed" some common issues from the first few batches before they got to mine so who knows how it will turn out.
Iro inks are great so probably one of the best tests there. These EA inks are hit and miss for that -- Candy Sea will dry even a decent sealing pen out fast.
@paradoxmo @terri Indeed. You'd think someone would have come up with something better than the VP by now, but people can't even clone that one right and it's been around for ages.
The silicone seals are interesting but still not great.
