Hi all, just received the pen and all in all it's in good condition! Writes very very well, and filling it was a piece of cake as expected of a dropper-fill pen. I'm just curious of other's experience with the shut-off valve: I've filled it with ink, and closed the valve completely, however I'm still able to keep writing, I think I wrote a whole page with the valve off. I'm starting to suspect that I'll always be able to pull ink out of it? With it completely shut the flow is still decently wet (definitely more wet with the valve open) and I haven't seen any leakage issues yet. Would love to hear what others are experiencing and if what I'm describing is concerning to anyone.

jackson.cw.wongWell there is a mini reservoir about the size of like a drop or 2 after the shutoff valve. I'm just guessing its just so if you store it fully upside down it wont spill all the ink out or something

jackson.cw.wongI have 4 Opus 88 pens with the res & valve. The idea is... You open the valve.... Ink loads up into the feed section, and then you close the valve. So now it's an inkpot on standby. Write & write... once you get the sense you've used up the avail. ink, open, reload & then close the valve. Continue writing. It will certainly run dry. You can write with the valve open, but man it turns this thing into a gushing wet writer! Hope that helps.
