Diamine inks alternative for fountain pen

[Ikeabag]

Hello!

My ears pricked up on another non crafty thread when a poster stated that diamine inks are too cloggy for fountain pens - I've been using a couple, with a medium and large nib, and noticed that they can get a bit dried out mid flow. I'm already familiar with CultPens, was wondering what other budget inks on there or elsewhere are more suited? A trad Lamy (M nib) and a Kaweco Sport (L nib) are the two pens I have currently. I just use them to write with, not draw, but I scribble ideas down quickly so the flow matters to the... flow.

Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere, a search was attempted.

Sorry to be late to your thread!
I love my fountain pens and Cult Pens too. I use mostly Diamine inks with a fine or extra fine nib and have never had any problems and I have about 15 different colours to match my pens. In fact Diamine are sold by Cult Pens as fountain pen ink (unless you bought the calligraphy ink!) and are a British company!

I've found it's more the type of ink than the manufacturer. I'm a big fan of Diamine, but only use their shimmer and sheen inks with med or broad nibs. Also the orange colours can be a bit claggy. All of the other ones seem to work fine in my F and EF nibs though.

Alternatively, I've always got on fine with Parker Quink, Sheaffer Skrip and Waterman inks.
