Noodler's Ink in F-C 27 Collegia XF?

[stryker4526]

So I'm on the fence about ordering the above pen. Already have a Pilot 78G F and a Lamy Safari F.
I've also recently acquired two bottles of Noodler's ink, black and blue/black. I hear that Noodler's tends to be rated a "high maintenance" ink.
So my question, really, is simple. Assuming I regularly (I'm thinking before every refill counts as "regularly") flush the F-C (and the others) with one of those bulb things you use to clean infants' ears/noses, would there be any harm in using this ink in the F-C? Both colors are PH neutral, so I don't see why not. Note: I don't tend to write a lot, so I am thinking that from this point I will just have one inked pen at a time, hence my "after every refill" criteria above. Just wondering if you guys have any experience or advice in this regard. Thanks in advance.

I've got a couple of dozen pens and have used Noodler's ink in all of them at one time or another. I've never had a maintenance issue with any of them. I think as long as you regularly clean and flush your pen, maybe every other filling or so, you shouldn't have any issues. There are a couple of Noodler's inks (Bay State Blue, for example) that are extremely color saturated and may stain the inner workings of a demonstrator (clear) pen, so be aware of that. Otherwise, ink up and enjoy!

I think the key with almost any ink, especially Noodler's, is that you should always try to flush after two fills with the same ink. You could probably get away with more fills with a low maintenance ink like Waterman though.
