I've been using this for about 2 weeks now and it's been a fun experiment. Straight syrah came out pretty light, simmered down for about 2 minutes and it was a nice bright burgundy during writing that dries down to a dusky purple. Espresso worked pretty well and also gets darker as it dries/oxidizes.
One suggestion is to get some super fine micromesh from a fountain pen shop. My nib had one side that was a little scratchy and a minute of drawing figure 8s made it a much nicer nib.
This is not what I would say is an everyday pen. Get a Pilot Metropolitan, Lamy Safari, TWSBI Eco or similar if you want a fountain pen that just works. This is more for fun, I also like using it with "tricky" fountain pen inks. The ones that have particles for permanence or glitter effects.
Note to Winkpens: I wish you luck in your future endeavors as I'm enjoying this pen. A couple of notes from my usage: Shorter overall length would be nice as it doesn't fit into standard pen cases/holders/shirt pocket. Harder material for grip section/cap so the threads are more secure. Inner cap to protect the nib if the cap gets twisted on too far.

CopperchefAwesome thank you so much for thorough feedback ! Im constantly trying to refine the nibs and recently added another sanding step with additional micromesh:) I'm also looking at adding some tooling to aid with the consistency when we do the relaunch. Thanks again for the support and i only see it evolving from here
