Hi Shak.Just curious, why do you like EF nibs?

It seems Montblanc opens many small windows on the barrel and fills them with clear lacquer or resin. I feel that Montblanc puts more effort into the Great Characters than the writers.

Thank you for providing an overview before the store visit.

A clip that makes the Safari look elegant! 😂

Fun! :)

nice vid . it possible swap p139 nib with a wingsung nib ? can u make a try?

does it matter which version youhave? bock or asvine?

Is that a tissue paper?

CY now has (in addition of the Kakari) a Kyuseido Kosumi, with a different (faceted) cap. BTW: both Kakari and Kosumi are technical terms from (the game) Go. This is an incredible pen.

Have you seen this new montblanc pen with new filling system? ua-cam.com/video/moYMFhXyuN8/v-deo.html

I'm pretty new to this hobby (only have a Diamond 580 and a Lamy Safari thus far) and want to get a Vac pen. I tend to do long writing sessions, either journaling or drafting for novels and short stories I'm working on. I've been cross-shopping the Asvine v126 and the Twsbi VAC700R, now this video put the Asvine V200 on my radar! The Asvine pens seem like a better value when just looking at pricepoint and looks, but I haven't been able to get hands on any of the three pens to determine how the quality compares. That said, honestly the main thing that's appealed to me about the Vac 700R (besides that iridescent titanium oxide finish on the Iris, and my good experience with the Twsbi brand thus far in my diamond 580) is the...'platform' and 'system' type experience that Twsbi seems to have made--for lack of a better phrase. Their replacement nibs come in those very aesthetically pleasing red capped storage vials, and seems like it would work really well with my desire to hot swap EF and Stubs so I can have headers and body text for my writing. Also, that screw-in VAC 20a inkwell looks so sweet paired with the VAC700R. But then I just watched this video, and when you showed the Pineider Traveling Pen Filler, and the VAC 20a almost seems like a gimmick in comparison. How would you compare the experience between the two, if you have any? Also, any recommendations on my broader decision, of v126 vs v200 vs VAC700R? Is the extra price of the Twsbi worth it? also, I love your approach of swapping nibs, and upgrading inexpensive pens with really high end nibs. Would love to work my way up to that in due time! Thanks for the video!

I would really like to own this one, but your cons are sobering. I’m a relative newbie and have experienced no adverse situations with my ten pens that would require service. Can you guess what is the likelihood of something going wrong with this pen? Would Pen Venture take care of it do you suppose? Pen Venture has a variation of this pen but I prefer the silver color of the titanium rather than the blue color in the similar version. I think the blue argues with the ink colors inside the pen whereas the silver colored titanium titanium does not.

1:21 just return the nib and unscrew that part.

Hey Shak, Nice review vid there. For someone who already owns one of the older non stamped Mag600, would you recommend getting the M650 at all?

I’m enthusiastic about these pens but I can’t figure out where to buy them. Pen Venture has variations of these pens but they are blue where these pens have the silver of the titanium. I prefer the titanium/silver because it doesn’t interfere with the color of ink that is being used; in fact it enhances the ink color.

Is this… Heaven? Yes, it is.

Beautiful pen. Would you say the Wing Sung P139 is a close approximation to this pen?

Great review! Is there a new color coming out for the Custom Urushi in Konjou Blue?

Congratulations!!! That is such a great fountain pen, enjoy!

Did you say you are giving it away? What do I need to do to get it? LOL On the other hand, what is the best place to buy 149 nib only?

Congrats for your comparison video !!! I have a LOI MZG (LeonardoOfficina🇮🇹) with an amazing elastic nib 14k with ebonite feeder. The nib it's hard but very good for SLOW calligraphic moments. It's possible for you to compare also this pen ?

What paper are you writing on ? Is that Rhodia grid ?

Just the review I was looking for! Thanks!

Wow, impressive! Enjoy your lovely room surrounded with a beautiful collection of pens.

I just purchased a fpr gold ultra flex I'll get back to you on it.

the nib looks cheap compared to the montblanc. Can you buy a montblanc, substitute the nib beween your china pen and the MB, then return the montblanc with the cheap nib on it?

If the Asvine V200 and the Kyoseido Katari would be the same price, which would you buy? Which would you prefer to write with?

Did anyone find a store you can buy Fountain Pen Revolution nibs within the EU or from Aliexpress?

I have never contemplated nib swaps because my favorite nibs are Pilot and so far as I know one cannot buy a Pilot nib. You must have robbed your own expensive much more pens to put their nibs in the Asvine. In my case, the Asvine see through appearance is an acquired taste I have yet to acquire (!). But out of curiosity what nibs can you actually buy to put in other pens?

Where did you get those beautiful boxes?

pens obviously bring us all joy - an often overlooked component (my humble opinion) is having a space to enjoy them. This quick tour sheds light on such a beautiful setup. I look forward to seeing the joy the space brings you shine in the content you create for us! Thanks for sharing!

Love it

Does this mean you're settling in to your new space? Looks so fresh!

Awesome 👌🏻👍🏻

What's the clear Jinhao model? That one caught me by surprise by the custom urushi haha!

I just purchased this pen, and it is very dry. Can I safely remove the nib to floss it with a brass sheet?

Do you know if the feed ebonite or plastic.

Hi there, I’ve started retraining my pen hold and I’d like some advice. How would you describe your pen hold? I tried one where my index is straight and my thumb is supporting like yours but I couldn’t quite feel a secure enough grip to consistently write cleanly. I have another style which I’ve used for about a year now since I started my fountain pen journey. I’ve graduated from Jinhao to Lamy, to Montblanc 146, 144, and 221 but watching my dad use his new Waterman Carène that I got him showed me that perhaps my grip is childish and simply restrictive, even though the writing is clean and elegant I still have that feeling that I’m wasting my time by not learning the proper way.

Y'know I was just about to buy a handful of jinhao pens and extra nibs to learn how to do nib grinding. This is pretty cool to see.

Excellent video and what an amazing handwriting. Love from india 🇮🇳

My vehicle pen for the Bock 250 nib has always been the Kaweco Supra, but after watching your video, I’m really inspired and now want to upgrade to the vacuum filling system. I have a small question: I often change nib units before the ink is fully used up, so I’m wondering if it’s possible to do this with the vac filling system on the V200? Will there be any ink splattering due to pressure changes? FYI, I can’t stop watching your videos! I wish I had found your channel before I started buying fountain pens.

Hi Shak, I would like to send you an email. could you send it to me? Thanks!

I bought the 139 in white with the extra fine nib - it's arriving today. 🎉

Great Video. I like the paper. Can you please advise what brand. I would like to purchase. Very therapeutic!

I think I prefer the Majohn nib to the custom Mont Blanc one!

Do you mind sharing which seller you purchased from on Ali? I know they vary greatly in reliabillity. Thanks for the great review!

The P139 is on my list. My favorite in the Jinhao 90xx line is the 9013. I have two and they are very good writers, right up there with pens that cost 50 times as much. I have many expensive pens and they're great writers, but these Chinese fountain pens are what will be kwwping the fountain pen hobby alive because more people can afford them and they are, for the most part, good pens.

Have similar nibs from Sailor, bought them some 20 years ago. Sailor used to bring this old nib dude to the NY & DC pen shows. Had some crazy nibs. Bought a few, lovely ebonite KOP's as well. Those were the days, now it's all about........

Congratulations! Perfect review
