4:20 You know, you could try when using that inkwell, instead of fully pulling the vac filler, pull it part or half-way. That way it won't shoot out the inkwell. It can still draw ink.
I can understand disliking the piston knob "unseated" while in use (it just seems wrong), but I like my pen well enough that I overcome that obstacle. Thank you for showing some disassembly. Yes, that undoubtedly disables your warranty, but I'm ok with that too.
No worries. I did a bad job making my point. What I was trying to say was that instead of buying a traveling ink well in order to completely fill your vacuum filler, just bring more than one pen or use a pen that takes cartridges. I cut it out of the script, but I originally had an anecdote about how I’ve only once been concerned about running out of one pen’s worth of ink. I was going on a cruise and expected to do quite a bit of writing. I took multiple pens and that was that. I also use a technique from Neil Gaiman where I alternate ink colors between writing sessions so that it’s easy to tell how much I wrote during any given session.
Glad you’re feeling better. I’ll be looking forward to your upcoming videos.

It's been a while! Great to see you again with another great vid!
Cartridges for a vacuum filler? 04:05
For the cartridge example I pulled out the Platinum Century 3776

@@pensinfocus Don’t you worry a bit, thank you for the video! Wow, that tip about changing inks it’s very good, thank you :)
You mean Nahvalur Not Nautilus.
Yes
Man! You guys get screwed on price for this pen. Approx. $200 on the grey market.
I quote the price from reputable dealers mainly as a point of comparison.
@@pensinfocus The grey market has reputable dealers too, but I take your point on comparison.
@@davyj5216 what is the grey market?
