Can't believe famous meth dealer Jesse Pinkman himself loves Pilot

Ive not heard of any QC issues with this pen before. I cant help but wonder if Pilot sells the ones that fail QC locally for a discount.

Sometimes even manufacturers with great track records can let something slip under the radar. I suspect that is the case with the pen you purchased. I also think that you bear some of the responsibility by not exercising your right as a consumer to have been sold an item in working condition. Perhaps that can be excused by you being new to the fountain pen hobby but that's not my call. Warning to those who find themselves in a similar situation: Should you receive anything from a seller that doesn't work you should immediately contact the seller and start a return process. If the seller asks you to mess around with the item to get it to work you should refuse and demand your money back. If the seller refuses to send you a refund then you should contact the credit card company and dispute the charge but just make sure to save all your correspondence between yourself and the seller so that you can offer those to the credit card company for evidence.

Two tone nibs are available but it’s on the more expensive solitaire pens of the same ATW80 range. Pay to play lol. Elephant significance is that part of the journey was mainly done by elephant.

I had an extra fine on a metro, and I liked it, but i lost the damned pen after a month, so I never really got to experience it. From what i remember it wrote great, that's why I lost it; it was so good I used to carry it with me because it could write well on any paper. I took the nib off of a kakuno ( whetever it's called).

I appreciate an honest review, especially for a beginner pen that has the same price as apple airpods!

i would love to see this ground thinner

THIS IS MY GRAIL PEN!

From where you bought the m1000

I think your problem is that you wanted a pen for writing and not for drawing, and this pen is known to be for drawing

1,200 dollarinos? What's that in buck-a-roos? 🤭🤭 Happy to see another video from you! Enjoyed it. Thank you for making them and please keep them coming. Also, stay safe.

Hey jesse, welcome back :D Did you get this from Pen-Venture? but since it's pre-owned, it probably wasn't from Pen-Venture. I saw one from him, but it was sold out by now. The old one I think looks so much more beautiful than their newer version with the pretty ink window. The resin on this just pops out so beautifully.

:)

I just bought a Duofold Junior and I really like it. If you think it's small, you should try the Slimfold, which is about the same length as a Sailor PGS, and half the width. 😂TINY!! Both my Junor and Slimfold are very, very smooth but the Slimfold is wetter. Crazy thing is, both of them cost me around £15 each, both in perfect working order (missing the cap jewel on the Junior), and thats for a working gold-nib, ebonite feed pen. What blows my mind is that those prices are not unusual. I see them on Ebay under £20 nearly every week.

Thank you for this review, I like your style of review. Subscribed !

We’re you able to sell this pen? I can’t imagine anybody who saw this video would want to purchase it from you.

I've had the same flow issue with many of my pens. Until I put Pilot Kon-peki through a pen there is a good chance it won't write correctly.

My pen leaked into my cap on another FPR pen. I tried all the tricks that were recommended I do, but it still leaked. I returned mine and asked that it be fixed or replaced. It was fixed and it currently works wonderfully now.

Nice review! I didn’t realize they left the front of the barrel with translucent stripes. Everyone else says the new version doesn’t have an ink window

All the M1000 nibs are broad. Regardless of what it’s stamped on the nib itself. 😊😊

What's the price

So, Makrolon is.... fiber glass... hum hum, interesting....

It's next to impossible to have an acceptable writing experience from what is essentially a Western XXF nib, a size that was originally intended for writing fine prints in a ledger book and never was intended for daily writing. You should have gotten a FM or greater for a much smoother and much less finicky writing experience. Personally, I find Pilot nibs rather boring. Anyway, live and learn.

Great pen. Congrats!

Nice pen. Any idea how much ink these aerometric fillers hold ?

One of my all-time favourites. Thanks for the post. Cheers from Australia.

Cool pen! 🥶

Thanks for the comment about the sweat! I have really weird hands and I could never write with plastic pens without the unpleasant slippery feeling. I'll check this out.

nice pen

3 weeks in the army, Isn't that a bit short for mandatory service?

I especially like the Jaipur V2 ebonite models. They feel and look much nicer. Great nib. I agree that this is not a pen for traveling or loose pocket or purse carry. Use other pens with less fun nibs for that. As far air travel, Vacuum fillers are the choice. Fountain Pen Revolution sells their ink additive to prevent railroading, I assume by increasing surface tension. I haven’t tried it, but I’d recommend giving it a shot if you have an annoying amount of railroading. You add only a tiny bit to the ink you are going to fill with, maybe in an Ink Miser.

My lamy 2k fine writes so thick. I can’t handle it 😢

I have about 30 gold nib Pilots in my collection and they have some of the most consistent QC in the business. You may have been sold a defective model, rare but it happens, especially considering the leak and obtaining a replacement from the retailer would have been the way to go. I have several custom 74’s (opaque and translucent) in medium and broad nibs and they’re all great writers. Japanese nibs traditionally have a finer line than western nibs so I tend to go for medium or broad. I’d never get an EF in a Japanese nib because 1) I dislike the hard as a nail, sharp feedback type of writing experience 2) I prefer wetter, juicy writers. This is why impulse buys are not a good idea. Know your pen preferences, research the pen you want to buy and make sure it aligns with your preferences. I’m a medium broad nib person. I tried a FM nib (for variety) in the Pilot Custom 91 and I don’t like it because it’s too sharp and feedbacky for my taste. Now I know only M or B nib Pilots for me. If you have a pen club, pen show or brick and mortar store near you, try out the medium and broad nib Custom 74 before buying a new one. It’s such a shame your experience has been a bad one but trust me, when you get the right one for your preferences, that isn’t faulty, this pen is a great writer.

I agree! If I had to grab 3 fountain pens with me to leave in a hurry they would be (1) economical purple jinhao 159 with a fine Goulet nib (2) Mid range a Sheaffer pen for men with a medium/fine nib (3) Top tier/grail Pelikan M1000 striated green barrel with a fine nib.

Great review

I would suggest you should probably go back to using ballpoint pens.

Perfect voiceover narration … and love that thumbnail image of the mighty Roll-Royce powered B747-400 … queen of the skies!

👌👌👌😍😍🍃 Now Sheaffer Family is Split & not making like earlier ??

I bought one with a fine nib as my first gold nib and completely echo your comments - I found the nib a bit scratchy and inconsistent and ended up trying (and largely failing) to smooth it out myself.

Where did you purchase this loser? Have you thought of getting in touch with the seller and raising a bit of Cane with them? Perhaps they will surprise you by taking it back and replacing it with one that works. The squeaky wheel gets the attention.

I have it with a soft medium nib and in the opaque solid black and gold finish, and I like it a lot! The con70 was driving me crazy until I took a syringe for cleaning it. I'm not 100% sure but it seemed to get pretty clean when I squeezed in a few good shots of water with the syringe, maybe giving it a little more pressure.

does the clip move around on urs ? like up n down

176 is the price nowadays. I bought a custom 742 directly from Japan in 2014. Medium nib, what is a european fine. Back then the price was 73 Euros (Delivery included). The converter is a push pull system. Never had a problem with this pen. For the money I paid it's more than o.k. Well I own a 823 too, but the pen costs 3x the price.

If one can describe something, its probably because that something does not exist. Thanks for filming pen up close. Looking at the writing sample, cant really see the effect of "flex / softness" at all. Then why have it?

After watching your pilot custom 74 video, I gotta know what you think of another pilot pen. Glad you like this one! Although for a pen of that price I would expect it to write perfectly from the first go. But hey, that's part of the FP experience I guess.

"which none of you should get" lmaooo the ardent contempt is palpableeee. This is by far the funnest review I've seen on any pens. I'm sorry for your experience, but thank you for the honesty.

Same here. Goulet is the best.

Is there actually no tipping material or was that an exaggeration?

Hey dude, which country are you from? :) went through conscription myself 7 years ago and it definitely was an experience!

I have the white version of this pen. Same experience with leaks. Way too wet as a normal use pen. I even gave up storing it as a normal pen because it was leaking regularly. Now I just keep it as a desk pen for shimmering inks, while other pens clog with shimmer inks. Alway stored nib up, but even then, it still acts up once in a while and gushes into the cap. It might be temperature changes causing it. It would be interesting to see if it could be a carry pen with a regular nib and feed.
