I got this ink to go with my new Kaweco AL Sport in Blue Iguana, and it's a fun match. In a broad nib it's very wet and smooth-writing. I don't have Jade Inferno, but it looks as if JI is more green and has the sheen. Agave doesn't sheen--just nice saturation, though. I have the old version of Birmingham Fountain Turquoise, which I love--Fountain Turquoise is more neon. Here are some other comps to Agave (the Pennonia ink is more blue, actually, despite its name).

Thank you for the review. Great colour ink. :) Thank goodness it's similar enough to Diamine Aurora Borealis and Yuletide as BP don't ship to the UK anymore. :(

Very nice review! It does appear very close to Fountain Turquoise, so I will likely pass on this one.
