Great sampling of a fave brand, 5 of them I've added to my want list, including the Jinhao 82 glass dip pen. Stopped video to order 😆 Such a fan of their 82 this was a given to purchase. Thanks!
Good video for the inks. I was hoping you would do a More extensive review of the Jinhao 82 dip pen. I have one of those and was scratchy right out of the box. Has to soften the tip a bit.
Thanks! I found it to be largely comparable to the standard Fountain Pen. My nib was pretty smooth out of the box, but if you find it scratchy I imagine it would be ok to polish it with a few drops of water on fine grit sand paper.
Thankyou. I have about 6 Jinhao82s and of those two ( both sparkle types) sheared off at the threads on the caps. Pen is not good w/o a cap. If I ordered the glass dip pen, would it need a cap for protection or are they pretty sturdy on the desk ?
@@liza5532 I’m sorry to hear about the issues with the threads! I wouldn’t recommend keeping this glass nib uncapped, there is a likelihood of cracking (especially if it rolls off a desk)
The dip pen looks great 👍 My Writers Blood looks very different to your swatch, mine is def a deep red..!! My fav Diamine ink is now Red Dragon which is a beautiful red and is currently living in my Lamy 2000 ❤
I was a bit surprised by how it showed up on the card. On most papers I have it looks more like a maroon. I’ll check out Red Dragon, thanks for the rec!
Lamys are my fave, always go back to writing with them with a stub ✒ and easily pass away hours without noticing. glad to see someone else using them :)
@@MaryShelleysNib I seem to have quite a few Lamys without setting out to collect them.....Aurora Borealis and Red Dragon inks are def a fav at the moment from Diamine 👍👍😍
The color of Writer’s Blood seemed a bit off in this video. I’ve posted a more accurate picture on the community page.
The dip pens look like a lot of fun to use, and it is nice to see a sample of different colored inks.
Thanks! A very useful tool to quickly switch between different colors

I really love the form factor and color options!
Midnight is super underrated!
Subtle red/gold sheen. Well lubricated dry ink.
Useful in any pen and at work !
One of my favorite blue blacks

@@sheilamillar8071 thanks 😊
Hi! Are you still going to do a review on the Visconti Mirage Mythos Apollo Fountain pen?
I am, it should be out soon!
Thanks for the videos!
I noticed you don’t shake or agitate your inks before using, is there a reason?
Thanks! I don’t tend to unless they have shimmer in them. None of the ones I sampled do.
Polar Glow looks really nice. I do not own a glass nib as I am affraid it will brake easily. How brittle are they?
I haven’t tested it, but it feels pretty durable.
Hi! Is the nib made of real glass or plastic? I read somewhere else that it's made of acrylic.
It is advertised as glass
More ink videos please?
@@lovbrekke92 I’m considering it, thanks!
