⚠️ WARNING FOR BEGINNERS: MY TOP 5 FOUNTAIN PEN PET PEEVES - A MUST-KNOW BEFORE STARTING THIS HOBBY!
My Caffe Bronze, F Nib, is currently inked with Writer's blood ; I love this assortment 😊
yesss love my writers blood too❤️❤️❤️🖋️
Im a beginner, and i have the both, but everyday pen is lamy safari, for resistance reason. And twsbi is awesome, as well.
wow!thanks for sharing❤️
Is this 9x14 or 10x14?
5.5"L x 4"W
I would love to see a nib size comparison with the same ink in all the pens. I believe FWP Storied Blue is a drier ink for example so the EF and F really did look the same 😅
Good idea, will try it soon thanks!!!🥰
Yout accent is beautiful
oh wow thanks hope its a compliment😉
Thank you for sharing. I enjoy seeing your ECO collection in use. I have and write with several ECOs myself. It is nice to see other colors that I do not have. EF is my favorite nib grind because I must write on cheap paper at school. But I am a nib chameleon that likes to match nibs to color, saturation, viscosity and shading/sheening properties of ink for my personal writing. So it is especially nice to see a comparison of grinds in relation to inks by someone who really uses ECOs often. Thank you!
thanks for sharing, yes love my ECOs too and its growing🤭
Favorite TWSBI nib overall is M nib, but I don’t have a B nib, yet. I may order the Cream Eco with a B. I have a TWSBI Swipe with a custom B made into Architect nib that is wonderful, though!
Wow, I'll try to add an architect nib on my collection, haven't explored it yet😍
So glad to see they sent you a new barrel section! I really love the rose gold color. Thanks for doing the comparisons on the different nob sizes. I don't have an EF or the Stub in TWSBI.
yes Christine, happy that they sent me a new one in a flash! now im confident spending my money with TWSBIs lol
Medium nib is my favorite.
My favorite TWSBI nib size? Medium or Broad, depending on my mood.
Yes, M for the win😉
Howdy! Good job on the video, I've been curious what other people like for water resistant inks. Just wanted to point out that Noodler's Air Corps is NOT claimed to be full waterproof. It's listed as a partial on their website. The blue/green part isn't waterproof, but the black part of the ink seems to be.
thanks for the info on Air Corp from Noodlers! 💙
@@corysoxydiaries No worries! I'm glad I came across your channel, your videos are fun!
For the TWSBI you need to use the tool to remove the piston. Clean the pen and then put a small amount of silicon grease on the piston. This will coat the barrel and stop stuff from sticking.
thanks for sharing! will def do it❤️
Platinum nibs are great but their gold plating is the worst in the business. You really have to be careful how you carry them. Any amount of small rubbing will remove the plating. Really annoying.
ikr 😢
My first pen was a Monteverde Ritma. I have purchase about 20 pens since then, and now that I have some experience with other pens, I find the Ritma to be too heavy. Early on in my pen life, I also bought a Monteverde Invincia Vega, which is too heavy. The second pen I got was a Narwhal,and a big chunk of the cap cracked off the first night I had it. The pen store I got it from took it back with no questions. The resin is cheap. I won’t buy it again. It made me hesitate to get any resin pens at all. Now I save my money and get good quality pens, preferably with a gold or rhodium tipped nibs. OR, super-cheap pens that I can stick a shimmer ink in and not worry about it if I wreck them while cleaning.
interesting..i don’t have a Monterverde pen yet. Heard a lot of not so good reviews so Im still debating to buy or not😅 thanks for watching!
I have 8 580’s and vac 700’s and come to realize replacing caps and some parts is all part of maintenance. I write with mine everyday. Replacement parts are very nominal and easy to fix. In comparison, I’ve sent in my pilot 823 few times to get it serviced.
thank you for sharing. yes, now I am not scared to use my twsbi’s. 😍
I recently bought a premium kaweco nib for my Al Sport, out of curiosity. It's really nice, the writing experience is much better. These nibs do cost around 40 euros, so I guess around 45 bucks ?... but I'm very happy with my purchase, find myself picking up that pen way more often than I used to.
wow!hopefully I can also try a kaweco gold nib,its on my wishlist. even the piston fill one,but the design is not vibing with me😅
there's a twsbi limited edition i've had my eye on, but the limited edition are twice the price of the normal ones, and yet i keep hearing time and time again that they're breaking, so I just can't justify it :(
good news! they are replacing the parts so that can perhaps help you decide?😉
You really used your pens alot! I did the same last month and I didn't even realize it until 4 days before the end of the month. I hope your mini has an easy fix considering its more expensive.
great video
great collection, thanks for sharing
Wow, that IS a great deal. You really can't go wrong with Iroshizuku.
This Kaweco Art Sport Hickory is a beautiful fountain pen. For me however: it is too light (only 12 gr) and too expensive. With a medium nib it writes beautifully. I have now filled it with Lamy Amazonite, a very beautiful green.
yes the medium nib is really buttery and lovin it!🤎
What pen are you using in the video
Hey Cory, do you have a Laban pen? I was curios about that. Beautiful pen you got. I love kaweco!!!❤❤❤
ah yesss Laban! I do have two of them features in my past videos😍
Oh you really love those!!! I purchased one and was so mad at the cartridge lol. I’m writing and ran out of ink. I knew then, that would be my first and last one. 😂 but your new one is soooo pretty.
thanks eliza!❤️
That sucks and I hope they have responded by now.
That looks beautiful 😍
yes it is!!thanks!!!
Congrats on adding this gorgeous pen to your collection
thanks!❤️
I've been looking at this one too !!
its still available at atlas stationers website,you can use my code CORY10 for a 10%discount😉
Beautiful addition to your collection! I'd try Pelikan Edelstein Golden Beryl with it. ❤❤❤
thanks sara! ❤️ i dont have that ink😢 maybe ill find something close to it.its no longer available here😭
@@corysoxydiaries Oh I had a sample, but now it's gone! 😭 At least it won't clog our pens. 😅
Congrats on adding on to your tortoise collection. I have only one the Esterbrook Estie and I just love it. The white one of the Art sport has been on my list for a while but I keep getting distracted by other pretty pens. But I will add it. This is such a classy pen and I really love writing with my Kaweco sports. I do wish they came with the converters but I've been refilling the cartridges for now.
yes the white is pretty too😍 thanks Christine!❤️
Twsbi strikes again
I love everything else about TWSBI except this persistent, known, disastrous issue. I have no idea why they have refused to do anything about this for YEARS. Mine cracked in half like 7 years ago. To their credit, if you contact them, they will send you a new one or at least a replacement part.
thanks!❤️
Your Rose Gold Lamy is an LX not an AL-Star.
thanks for the clarification. i almost see them as same forgetting LX is luxe and more premium🤥
@@corysoxydiaries I have the full LX series and love them.
I second the others saying just to get a replacement barrel from them However, I’m not sure it’s really necessary to remove the feed every single time you clean it. Only remove it when absolutely necessary. It’s possible that this contributes to the cracking issue. The 580’s are designed to be removed easily. The Eco’s are not.
ok i think ill take your advise. i just feel it will make the cleaning more faster lol guilty😅 and perhaps cleaning with ultrasonic also weakens the plastic?😢
@@corysoxydiaries it’s a possibility too. I wish there was some more information on this issue. Someone needs to survey a large group of twsbi owners and see those that had issues if they either used ultrasonic cleaners or took the feed out a lot. Pilot has had the same issue with their Heritage 92 model, it is a piston filled with a clear section too. However, they explicitly tell people to not remove the feed at all. Suggests to me they think it’s a possible cause. Twsbi by now should know the cause. I wish they would just tell us if it’s something we do so we know to avoid or not. Hopefully they get the replacement out to you. Swapping the parts over should be really easy for you. I’ve switched to the 580’s for the section that easily unscrews. I figure if I have an issue then the repairs will be even easier.
if all else fails, get a TWSBI Eco demonstrator, and swap out the nib , piston and cap, so you just use the barrel from the demonstrator and all other parts from your limited edition pen.
great idea!thanks so much!!❤
TWSBI is junk, het a wingsung or asvine.
You want a simple answer? Don't buy Twisbi anymore, it's crap, their transparent plastic cracks ALL the time. Turn instead to Nahvalur (formerly Narwhal), they're much better quality for the same price, and don't have any pathetic business practices.
hahaha thanks for the simple answer😂 i do have a narwhal and yes theyre pretty similar piston fillers. they even have a copyright issues and narwhal aplogizes to twsbi sometime ago but yea material wise maybe narwhal is better😅
@@corysoxydiaries Yes, but in a way, you could say that Twisbi was also inspired by all the other brands that have been making pistons since the dawn of time... ;)
Twsbi have an amazing customer service if you contact them they will send you a replacement part. I had the same problem and they sent a replacement barrel.
ok thats good news! glad i posted this video and hearing from you guys really makes me happy knowing im getting a solution and its not the end of the world hahaha😂
Dang. Sorry to hear that about your pen.
Great pens! Wonderful Writers. It's hard to find really strong clear materials. I love my TWSBI 580 Diamond but I do treat it delicately. If I have to treat a pen toughly, I use a Safari or especially a Lamy 2000. They may or may not be as good but they won't break ..... or even that damned expensive Pelikan. Once it has a scratch, I'll feel better about using it. When I had a problem, I emailed TWSBI a picture and they replaced parts at no charge. Brilliant service as it was well out of guarantee. Of course, being a lover of the pen and saying so loudly probably helped. Making pens transparent AND strong may be a contradiction. The cockpit of an F-22 Raptor is clear Lexan, the same material as in in an L2K where the material uses the name Makrolon. Keeping the price reasonable determines a lesser material.
wow okay i guess i have to treat my twsbis carefully next time.sometimes i think they are just my normal pens(ballpoint) whenever they are being used or in my desk. but thanks for all the info you shared,good to know as a fp collector!grateful for this community❤
To people said to purchase a new barrel I second that, just reach out to them and they would just have you pay for shipping and you can just take it apart with the included wrench and put it back together. Besides watching a number of youtube videos you can also just take it apart and slowly put it back together. Yes it is a bit fiddly when getting that piston part to extend enough, but it should take 15-30 mins tops for people that have not tinkered with this pen before. I tinker alot and can do this in less than 5 mins, so I believe that you can do this as well.
yes i reached out to twsbi already still waiting for a reply😢
yeay thanks for the words of encouragement, i guess its just me myself and i to assemble it when and if i get a new barrel.❤
Do NOT try crazy glue! It eats the plastic. Ask me how I know? ;) (my Vac Mini barrel has cracked twice) Not buying any more TWSBIs.
I got two replacement feeds and two barrels (pen bodies) about a month ago. I had my white and rose gold crack and swapped it all out. LA office. They take PayPal only though.
yeyy good to know,just waiting for their reply. thanks for sharing!appreciate it❤
@@corysoxydiaries they can take a while. One time, I had to message them twice. I always break my feeds but the last time I replaced a feed is when I noticed cracks in the grip section 😭 TWSBI knows their reputation so they are accommodating with replacement parts.
@lizk6298 oh my..🤞for me post office packages here from international can take months😭
This is easy to fix if you get a new barrel. You will have to take out the entire piston mechanism using the wrench TWSBI provides. It's a little tricky to get the piston mechanism back in correctly, so you may want to watch some videos first. (Goulet Pens has a good one. It's for the 580 but the concept is the same.) Remove the nib and feed and insert them into the new barrel. Just be careful not to crush the fins on the feed because they are fragile -- I hold the nib and feed by the side as much as possible to pull them out. You will be able to get them into the right spot on the new barrel easily. While you have the pen disassembled, put a little silicone grease on the edges of the piston head for maintenance. Honestly, this is an easy problem to fix. If you are not sure about doing this, maybe a pen club member can help you?
I avoided twsibi to save myself heartbreak.
This is a commin problem and easily fixed. You can replace the entire barrel, as it appears that none of the unique Golden Horse pieces are in the barrel. You will need to remove the entire filling mechanism using the wrench TWSBI provides. It's a little tricky to get the mechanism into the new barrel exactly right, so you may want to watch a few videos first. (Goulet Pens has a good video. It's for the 580, but the concept is the same.) You can also just pull out the nib and feed and move them to the new barrel. Just be careful to hold it by the sides so you don't crush the fins on the feed. They are fragile. This is an easy problem to fix, to be honest. If TWSBI can't ship you a new barrel, but a regular ECO and use the barrel from that.
Oops, sorry. I thought my first comment got lost, so I typed it over again using slightly different language. I'll leave both here since they are different and I forgot to mention greasing the piston head the first time. 😊
thanks for this detailed info really appreciate it🙏 i am not really a pro when it comes to fixing pens this will really help me and of course youtube academy too😂 thanks again!❤
warm water expands the metal and pushes against a weak plastic. sorry. they need to change their sections to a softer plastic.
oh no…maybe cleaning it with my ultrasonic weakens the plastic more?😮
@@corysoxydiaries actually an ultrasonic cleaner could cause cracks. ultrasonic cleaners were made for only metals that were not weak.
There is nothing to do about it. You can only buy a super cheap version of any eco and take the body of this.
thanks for the suggestion❤
