    I NEVER comment on a video but I want you to understand now much these videos mean to me and also that the barrage of videos I watch and listen to in a single day very few earn a like. Thank you for always making me happy to watch something I enjoy and want to give more time and thought to how I interact and experience your videos. Have an amazing day and I hope you keep making engaging content.

    The best part of your videos, is how you sign off.
    Your grateful attitude comes off sincere when you thank us and we thank you.
    Especially helps my depression.
    On a side note, your videos are always helpful and well done. Thanx 😊.
    God bless,

    Wow. Nice pen! And, weight is more of a plus than a problem for me. One of my favvorite pens is an ensso Italia Copper. Solid copper makes it pretty heavy, and I love writing with it. I also love a piston filler with interesting cap and works, and a demonstrator barrel -- and don't want to spring for a Visconti. Hmmm! Thanks, Chris.

    I like this pen. I have the P20 which I have found to be an excellent pen. So, it seems that Asvine is continuing its consistent quality. I will have to add it to my 2023 list of pens to get.
    I understand Asvine started as a parts manufacturer for other Chinese companies. It is great that they have stepped up to make their own pens.

    I don't know if I got a lemon. Mine leaks A LOT. Seriously, I wrote a few pages, no more than 8, preparing a lesson, and I got at least 5 drops of ink (big drops) onto the pages. And each time I was hoing to use it, there would be a large amount of ink inside the cap. It got empty withi 3 days. Any suggestions how to fix it?

    • @chrisrap52
      @chrisrap52  11 місяців тому +2

      For ink to leak out air must leak in. Is nib assemble screwed all the way in? If so, unscrew, check o-ring, silicone o-ring & threads, screw in. I don't see air getting past piston so I would look at nib end.

      Ink leaking out means air leaking in. Is the nib assembly fully seated, screwed in? I might unscrew & coat threads & o-rings with silicone grease. I can't imagine the piston not sealing. So that points to the nib end. Good luck, the pen should work well.

    • @davidjimenezlopez
      @davidjimenezlopez 11 місяців тому +2

      @@chrisrap52 Thanks a bunch. First, I think you are right on several points. I was unable to unscrew the piston piece, I do not have the right tool, and the TWSBI Eco's plastic wrench proved to be useless for this pen. But I was able to unscrew the nib-feed unit, the silicon ring looked to be fine, so, I applied silicon grease around the piece and screwed it back in, inked the pen, and seems to be working fine. I have carried the pen on my pant pocket all day long (nothing else in the pocket to avoid scratches and the like), and I have checked every couple of hours or so for any further leak, and I have found none. I hope that was all I needed to do. Thanks again.

    • @chrisrap52

      TWSBI & Pelikan pistons are 7.0mm. Most Chinese pistons are 7.4mm. Glad you fixed the leaking. Enjoy the pen.
