The Felt Tip Charlie
Vložit

- A brand new felt tip Charlie may need a minute or two and possibly a few taps forward while holding the pen in your hand to provide some forward momentum and drive some ink into the new feed, yet once the flow of ink is established in the new pen it is a surprisingly low maintenance and reliable felt tip. New replacement felt tips have just arrived at Luxury Brands and should be available at your Noodler's retailer any day now. The cost? About 5 tips per dollar...which I would pay myself and view as a highly competitive cost. In testing a felt tip was able to write an entire 4.5 oz bottle of ink without wearing out provided one did not abuse it (so keep the pen after the bottle runs out and use it later as a marker with Noodler's Black or other Noodler's ink..it will last a long time and is not meant to be disposable! It should only be used with water based inks - i.e., no chemical solvents.). It is currently available free with the bottle in "Blackerase" and "Year of the Golden Pig" as well as ORG, PNK, and GRN highlighter inks in 4.5 oz bottles. It may be included in other colors as well depending upon the feedback from users.

Nathan,
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm the 'artist' that left behind that sample of what your Triple Tail can do. Amazing pen, that!
Can't wait for next year's Commonwealth Show. Green Safeties? 😉

I wish I could draw like you.
Thank you, Nathan. I am always impressed by the quality and affordability of what you make.
I love these videos. I have watched them all I believe multiple times. I wish you posted, Nathan, one video a month-at least. That would be awesome. Thank you. I have several Noodlers inks and pens. Noodler’s was my gateway into fountain pens and inks. 👍🏼👊🏼.
Omg I need the felt tip.
I don’t know if you have any plans to ever offer the various Charlie pens for sale on their own, but I’d highly encourage it... It was one of my first fountain pens, and as my collection has grown substantially, it remains a steadfast favorite.
I’m definitely very interested in this felt-tip version. Currently, I’ve already got a handful of Charlie fountain pens (and recently got the Roller Eel version as well), but now I have more ink than I could possibly use in several lifetimes! haha
Excelente trabajo el que usted realiza, rescatando tecnologías y poniéndolas a disposición de prácticamente cualquier persona. Veré como adquirir algunos de estos y traerlos a Medellín, Colombia, Cordial saludo
I hope these are available to buy individually along with the tips as well. I would completely stop using sharpies because of this. I use them every day at work and I would love to buy a few at least. I go through many sharpies each month due to writing on craft paper and other rough papers. The tips usually go out around the same time as the ink. I was using the cartridge sharpies but they suck.
I have a great need.
Wish I could buy them standalone outside of with ink bottles.
I absolutely love charlie pens because they are so thin. Way better for my hands than any other pen I have tried so far.
Damn it, why do I have to be Australian, we don't get any of the cool things!
Holy cow, I need these pens!! I (and everybody else in the installation & service industry does as well) need these pens now in red, black, blue, green, purple, and probably more colors. And all with permanent inks to mark wires, equipment, tools, & so much more.
Sharpies are the bane of my existence! I never know when I pull one out whether it will write or is it dried out. Is the tip sharp or blunt. It is such a waste to throw them out when they are not very old. The Felt Tip Charlie will solve that once and for all. Clear pen means I can see the ink. Replaceable tips mean smashed tips and be replaced.
And I even need an un-inked felt tip pen for programming touch screens (useful for fat-fingered humans such as myself).
And how about a replacement for my silver sharpies I use on dark surfaces? Can I have that too, please? Silver or white, I don't care.
Who do I give my money to? I am willing to pay outright - no freebies asked for. Please make some money so you can stay in business! I will save plenty of money by not buying self destructing unreliable sharpies/felt tip markers. Fountain pens are fun, but this is important!
I'd love to have a felt tip Charlie! It seems like Blue Ghost would be more legible under blacklight with the thicker line of the felt tip than it would be in an average fountain pen. Either way, I hope to have both of them someday. :D
Is it wrong to like my free felt tip Charlie more than any of my fountain pens. I swapped a keweco nib onto my boston saftey and it was a really nice writer but, the felt tip is taking all of my attention away from fountain pens.
I had the first prototype in my pocket for nearly a year...every day. Would go about marking just about anything to see how it would write...but also because it was a delight to do so.
I need to get this because I would like to use my different inks with a felt tip even though I have a ton of markers, would like to request use for highlight too. Do you have an actual how in the dark ink or are you working on one? I would love one! Don't have a black light laying around though I may get one and some ink for the little ones to have fun with!!!
Hello will it be available separately and whit more neon color? Like neon pink cap?
Hello Charlie, can I please ask which Black Light do you use and how big/wide is your lamp? I don't have a UV light so I tried to use the black light app on the phone and it barely does anything. I also can't see what I've written with blue ghost. What do you recommend, I can see from your vid, the writing is very clear with the black light that you used, thanks.
Wow ink!
Nathan, you make great stuff. Do you have pens made entirely of ebonite? Or is it just the ink feed?
The safety pen (with some special exceptions at the Boston show) is ebonite, the Neponset has ebonite models in several colors and the konrad does as well. So...in some cases...it is both the feed and the pen that are ebonite.
Waterase seemed to clog the felt tip charlie pretty badly. Not sure why flow is prevented. Does it need a breather tube or something? Also tried enlarging the holes on the inside (top face) of the feed unit. Completely rinsed every component with water for a while and replaced it with HoD. The writing looks great for a short duration but then proceeds to only write with the faded/dried out bluerase. Any ideas or thoughts on getting this to work with other inks?
Looking forward to trying out waterase on a pilot V marker once its ink is depleted, but would REALLY love a HoD marker, if I could get it to work!
Is there a difference between the felt material of alcohol based, water based, and dry erase markers?
What is the effect of eyedropper burping with the felt tip? In my experience the Charlie has a burping issue but nonetheless I'm a fan of the pen.
Also, any likelihood these are be placed into a nib creaper?
The inside diameter of the section is different from the Charlie and the Nib Creaper...but with a little tinkering the feed can be fit in the other pens (if one does not mind adjusting the diameters slightly of either the feed or the inside of the section). I never had the felt tip "burp" due to a pressure imbalance...I do not know why, either....it has been amazingly stable. I actually tried to get it to misbehave by placing one in the freezer and then taking it out to draw during a 92 degree F day...it performed well with no noticeable excess expansion beyond a richer/wetter line than normal. The Charlie would have burped if the air bubble in the barrel had been large....but the felt tip did not. Something is different in the physics... ;-) Surely - eventually - I'll get one to misbehave and figure it out....but not yet.
Hello, Nathan.
I got one of these with a bottle of blackerase. After some initial success, it lays down almost no ink, and seems to bleed ink around the grip section. Do you have any suggestions in how to remedy this? Thanks.
Same here, doesn't seem the Charlie Felt is a great fit for Waterase. Seems people are having success with Preppy Highlighter shape (though I don't really want to buy a highlighter just to empty it out and replace the ink.
I'm also trying to determine if I can refill my previous Pentel Markathon Pump pens (though their tips are warn out).
Pilot Vboard markers may work as well. I will test those out later this year.
What was the ink used in the Triple Tail for that artwork, as I'd like to get a bottle?
That was "Harold's Hearse"...an ink with a brown core and a brilliant yellow body that mimics a sunflower when dripped on absorbent papers (like a paper towel or paper tissue). A similar ink is "Yellow Hornet" which looks like a black eyed susan flower on absorbent paper. Both are fast flowing inks in the Tripletail and can keep up with speed flexing/very little hesitation. Sometimes the pen is like a metallic brush when the ink is fast enough and I can use up the ink supply just racing across a huge piece of poster board drawing for the pure pleasure of it.
