Opening the 2024 Colorverse Colorvent Calendar: Day 24!
As most of you know, I've been opening the Diamine Inkvent calendar for the past few years, but this year, I've decided to try the new Colorverse Colorvent calendar instead. I'm a big fan of the space theme, even though it's not quite as traditionally Christmassy as the Inkvent. I do like the glass bottles, though.

Which fountain pen brand with broad nib is best for smooth writing
@poornimasalian308 Almost any brand that uses a broad nib will be smooth, but JoWo or Bock broad nibs are reliably very smooth, and they're found in dozens of brands
@thewetpen thank you
I purchased it and I am very very disappointed with quality. Though it is quite expensive, it does not provide quality ink.
In what way do you find it to be low-quality? I find the color to be good, and it is clearly very waterproof. The flow of the ink may not be perfect for every pen, but that's true of every ink. But perhaps you think there's a quality issue somewhere else?
I live in Seattle and somehow only just now discovered your ink. I have such a deep connection to these colors! I often try to explain the color of deception pass to people, and I was so happy to see some red tones in the blackberry. Thanks so much for representing our corner of the world!
Ahh, I'm glad you found them 🙂 I've been sold out for a good while, but my shipment of new bottles finally arrived from the factory last Thursday, and the caps should be along in about a week.
Nice video! I've met Kobayashi's team at trade shows in Tokyo countless times but never visited any of their stores in Shizuoka. Btw: Ken Takeda is a mini celeb here. He's written books and has his own line of inks, planner refills, and more, has a popular blog about ink, and attends pretty much all shows here.
Thanks Jacob 🙂 That was the impression that I got about Ken Takeda, but I've been wondering where is celebrity status came from. His blog and social media? Or was he in the business side of things first? The Kobayashi shop that I visited was pretty nice, but I think I'll want to check out some of their other locations next time. The Yotsuba was a goldmine 🙂
@ehnmark Aaaah. That's a familiar sounding story :-) , although I don't have quite 3000 bottles yet. Thanks again :-)
Too much exhibition get to the pens.
Please make video on Noodlers black inks and pelikan fount india ink.✒️
Outstanding content, thank you!
I’m not even into inks or fountain pens, but I have watched this entire series for the great tours of these cities you have done along the way. Much nicer than most “tour” videos on this site. Thank you
Thanks Tom! I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed the video series 🙂 If you haven't already discovered it, I went back to Japan in 2024 and covered a lot more ground and I also felt that I improved my video work a bit, too. Maybe you'll enjoy it, as well!
@@thewetpen I've already devoured those videos too! They're excellent, I can definitely see the progress in your editing style, but it has been exceptional throughout anyway!
Can u show us the writing sample of those bb stub and bb architect of kanwrite plz, im about to buy them so want a video of those nibs from u .. love from India
You had me at ink swatches. I looooooove to watch swatching videos. It has helped me curate my watercolor pallette and now I will be curating my ink pallette. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Discovered your channel recently and absolutely love your presentation and personality. New sub due to the Colorvent calendar but been binging your past videos. Cheers mate and Happy New Year!
Thanks, and welcome to my channel! 🙂 Hope you enjoy the back catalog while I get organized for the new year!
I never heard of this brand before, I have some Jinhao (82 mini, 82 and 100) and was planning on getting a Asvine as I heard many great things about the smoothness of their nibs (and I stand on the extreme side of the fence when it comes to smooth or feedback feel), this one looks incredible as well! I'd love to know how it compares to an Asvine, which is a bit more expensive.
I only have a few Asvine pens, but I think that their nibs are good... but nothing special. I'd take a Kaigelu nib over an Asvine for smoothness any day. That said, there's always variation from nib to nib, and there's always variation according to a person's writing style, so there's no certainty. Good luck!
@@thewetpen You just saved me 20€! I'm definitely getting the new Kaigelu 316A
I think your appellation of "Christmas Red" is spot on. I chose this (Supergiant) for writing a letter the other day largely arbitrarily, but I liked it a lot and one thing I thought was that it was a Christmassy Red
I haven't had a chance to try it yet (I did do the calendar, I just haven't tried most of them yet), but I have used Pilot Iroshizuko Tsuki-yo, and this reminds me of that based on the video
greetings from Malaysia and happy New Year, lived the vid with both products and history with it.
Thank you, and Happy New Year to you, too!
Such a beautiful scenic shots… love your content .. do also let us know about those scenic landscapes.. in future videos
@@vaibhavmehandiratta Thanks :-) I shot that video up near Leavenworth, WA.
I have Bril inks and use it on an ongoing basis. Felt good seeing it covered. I use it with on a daily basis.
@@automationadventure4169 Fine inks, especially for the price!
I like gray inks --- and Noodles Lexington Gray is my preference. It's dark enough to see. It's very wet --- and it's water-tight.
Can anyone tell me how heavy the sailor vase bottles are?
Yes, although there is some variation. In general the bottle in its box weighs about 190g, plus or minus 5 grams. The box accounts for about 10g of that weight. I don't currently have any empty ones, so I can't weight them without ink.
@ thank you for telling me.😁
Does anyone have any tips on how to use the small bottles since the top is too small for most nibs? Looking to make the least mess possible lol. Appreciate any tips.
It depends on the pen. If you're using one with a cartridge converter, the easiest thing to do is remove the converter from the pen, fill it from the bottle, and put it back into the pen. If you're using a piston filler, then you can either unscrew the section of your pen and eye-dropper it (or unscrew the nib unit), or, if all else fails, pour out the ink into a reasonably sized bottle or bowl 🙂
@ thank you :)
Diamine Snow Storm is my go to grey
Nice tax write-off
I know this is an older video, but can I ask about the pen at the start of this video? Pen envy engaged 😂😂❤
There's a white / red / black one... that is a Ranga Samurai... I assume that's the one you're talking about. Great pen... hand-made in India... not too expensive.
@ yes that was it thank you, I’m shade colour blind so a bit hesitant to guess colours based on screens ❤️
Can't post and a cap with no clip that is a recipe for the cap rolling off your desk.
Chris is a wonderful pen etc. reviewer. So pleased that you've gotten to know him and his work. Some time back Chris sent me several pens, inks, paper...One note on your Frankenpen: See that champagne colored part on the end? It may be the material itself, or the beginning of deterioration of the material. I don't know of a way to stop it. So please be really gentle with the pen. That style of lever is a "box" fill, so called because the opening where the lever fits onto the barrel has a metal box around it. Many lever fill pens don't, and they're subject to shrinking, stretching, warping... Great choice on Chris's part! You are, imho, a very lucky person. Enjoy your first restored classic!
Thanks! Chris is awesome. I wish that he were nearby so that I could really get to know him... I'm terrible about keeping up with writing letters. Since this pen, I've purchased a couple more vintage pens, but none that I enjoy using as much as this one.
@@thewetpen About the number on your pen, see this from Craig Roccanova:ua-cam.com/video/5Km6e94KIfI/v-deo.html
Thank you for your lovely videos Matthew; I really enjoy your work. I hope you enjoyed a happy festive celebration and 2025 is a wonderful year for you. It's pretty warm here in Melbourne, Australia with 41 degrees celsius on Boxing Day. 🥵 Your snowy videos are cooling to watch!
Happy Christmas to you and your family! This last ink is really pretty and I thought it was a nice choice to finish out.
Not a fan of all these very light inks. I write with all of mine and I'd never be able to read this.
This is the one that I want the most out of all. All the glitter and half of the sheen. I absolutely LOVE it!
Fab music box!
I like this one alot.
Great videos! Thank you for posting them. I was curious about this set as I do have several Colorverse Inks (Fountain Pen Day 2024, Blue Dragon 2024, Hayabusa 54, Cat, etc) I watched most of them in batches and I think my favorite was that purple with the glitter (which I'm not a huge fan of either) that made me think of an abalone shell, Milky Way. There were a LOT of blues and purples in this one and though purple is my favorite, yeesh, that was a bit too much for even me. I did like this last one very much, but I just used fountain pen ink to memory keep and journal and that color would fade sooner than a dark one, I would think. Hope you've had a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Again, thank you for taking the time to make these videos!
I just received this pen as a present for Christmas. It is the same ebonite body. I have not inked it yet. The clip looks a bit tiny for the size of the pen but since I do not carry my fountain pens out of the house, it should work well as a roll stop.
I ended up getting a second one of these... maybe you saw my more recent video about the Mammoth X. Great pens. I also got a Lotus pens with one of these #9 nibs installed, which is a lot of fun to use. Hope you enjoy the pen!
@thewetpen did you get the lotus pen direct from the company
@paulmchugh1430 I got it from Makoba, a company in India, but not direct
Thanks for the lovely videos! This has been a really interesting advent calendar, I might pick it up next year. I'm curious which ones will prove most popular of this one
Oh very interesting! I love this theme and the story behind each name. Thanks for taking the time to read them.
Nadolig Llawen and thanks for the Channel.
You always find the craziest inks! Nice to show us.
Lovely intro scene .. where is this?
That is in and around Leavenworth, WA
Merry Christmas. Take care. See you soon.
Rates are so high
Thank you for the Colorverse advent calendar ride 😊. Merry Christmas 🎄 and Happy New Year 🎉
thank you for your efforts this holiday season and may you have a peaceful new year!
Merry Christmas, Matthew. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us.
Loved the series, enjoy your family! 😊
Merry Christmas Matthew, well done for sticking with the calendar. Your drone footage and paintings really added a different dimension to your brilliant reviews. Have a lovely New Year.
Thanks, you too!
Thank you Matthew for another wonderfully produced ink calendar series! Always enjoy watching what you think at the end of the day. The Colorverse Calendar was a little underwhelming overall imo, ive much preferred the inks in the Diamine Inkvent calenders in the past. Best wishes.
Matthew, thank you so much for all of your inspiring work this year! Happy Holidays to you and yours! This ink look really good, looking forward to trying it out.
Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones. Thank you for taking the time to create these lovely videos as I've fully enjoyed watching and learning. Very delightful.
Thank you! Have a wonderful Christmas either way your family. As always in December your video accompanies my breakfast each morning and brings a happy peaceful feeling to my day. Hoping you come back to Diamine next year though 😂🎄🤩
There's a good chance that I'm going to take a break next year and just watch other people's videos! 🙂 I feel like I'd rather spend the time around Christmas with my family instead of working on videos... but we'll see 🙂
Thanks so much for sharing your lovely videos on the Colorverse Colorvent. I always look forward to watching your videos. Happy Holidays! 🎁🎄🎉❤❤❤
