WARNING: Spam trolls are answering some of your comments saying that you've won! It is SPAM and a PHISHING attempt. Do NOT REPLY! I will randomly select ONE winner Monday, February 27 at 8am PST and announce it here and in a pinned comment, and on the community page.
I will simply say that because of you, I went from 0 fountain pens to 40 (shared with girlfriend). I'm still a student without a lot of money to burn, but you made me realize that I could still collect extraordinary pens without costing a fortune. I started with Chinese pens and am now restoring old vintage pens because of you. Oh, and Bingo.
Gotcha!! :)
Doug, you and your channel are the moment, you're giving us everything. The other channels are giving us nothing. There simply aren't enough words to convey how much I love this channel.
Wow, thank you
Brand new viewer, long time pen-junkie, but just recently started getting back into fountain pens & have been going back & forth over a vacuum filler & this video helped me to decide. Can't wait for my order to arrive!
Welcome aboard!
Thanks for the review, Doug! The pen looks great and it's always nice to see a new vacuum filler at an affordable price. Good nib, good construction and interesting filling system? Bingo! 😉
I've been really impressed with the quality of Chinese pens over the past couple years Asvine (Hongdian) and Mahjon (Moonman) have been putting out excellent pens at their price point. Add the ability to nib swap some of them to something of a higher quality, and you've got a great pen with the same writing experience as a pen worth much more.
Agreed! I've bought five new Chinese pens this winter, and all of them are really nice writers, and punch way above their cost
Thanks for sharing, Pope Charles IV!
A lovely review 😊
nice review Bingo
Lovely review. Nice pen
Thanks
Awesome review will be checking this one out for sure. Bingo!
Love your videos and all the interspersions. I'm so informed by watching them that when I spot something on sale I have no hesitation in knowing when to say Bingo!
Thanks for the great review . A must get pen . BINGO !
Woohoo! Congrats on 2 million 🎉 BINGO
Love my Asvine I got last year. Hoping to order one of these soon. Great review as always!
Your reviews are as entertaining as they are thorough. Bingo!
Congratulations on the views, Doug - & another great review. Bingo!
Congratulations on 2M 🎉 Thank you for all the insightful and hilarious fountain pen content, Mr. Bingo!
Thanks Doug for all your fountain pens reviews. Your videos are fun to watch . Keep up this good job. Well done Sir.
Wow! The hits just keep on coming, Doug!!! BINGO!!!!
Nice review Doug. Another pen to add to my shopping list. BINGO
In truth, I really enjoy these videos Doug and in large part that's due to your personality. But the videos are also full of useful and practical information that has inspired me to purchase four pens that I would not otherwise own, each one of which cost me less than ten bucks (US) including shipping. So thanks so much and BINGO.
Thank you so much, Joe!
Great review as usual Doug! Bingo.
Thank you kindly
I’m late to the party, but I just had to say how much I enjoyed your review of the Asvine V126 and comparisons with other vac fillers. And because I loved your story at the end: BINGO!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for the review bingo!
Any time!
Congratulations on the 2M subscribers. Once again it is great to see the (lack of) differences between brands. Great finish on the pen, bingo !
Congratulations on 2million views! 🥳🎉👍🇨🇦 Keep up the great woek! Bingo!
Love the review, Bingo
Thanks for watching!
CONGRATULATIONS ON 2 MILLION VIEWS!!!! I love your humor lol. Also why is this pen so beautiful??? I didn't expect this on my 2023 pen bingo.
Congratulations on reaching 2M views, and thank you for the giveaway!! Bingo
Keep up the great work Doug. Love the videos.
Thanks, will do!
Greetings from the vegetable-and-fruit-bare UK! Great review as always, Doug; thank you for everything you put out - great entertainment! That Moonvalurine pen looks lovely! Bingo!
Thank you kindly!
Hi Doug. another great review. The glue that keeps me here is the way you show the pens... Take care. BINGO
Congratulations on the 2 M views, It should feel like winning the BINGO!
Congratulations for passing two millions view. Well deserved. Bingo!
LOVE your channel! thank you for your insightful commentary makes it so much easier to decide💜
I'm so glad!
Such fun! Congratulation on the 2 mil views! The Asvine sure looks like a great vac filler. I never strayed from the standard cartridge fountain pens, but this one is apealling with it's terrific-ity ☺️. That wetness would make me yell: Bingo!
Thank you for the review and special the comparison between pens. I love pens with high ink capacity and BINGO.
I find it difficult to fathom that over your channels lifetime someone somewhere sat down watched a video not a hundred times, not a thousand, not a million but two million times. That's phenomenal! Congratulations, I find this almost as difficult to fathom as a game of bingo.
Thanks for helping me along with this hobby! I’ve bought several of your recommendations so far, enough to gift a few “inkquiring” students one of the pens I haven’t inked in some time. Bingo.
Sycophantic. So far have been loving all your videos. Likes the occasional comedy clip inserts, reviewing attitude. And... BINGO!
Congratulations on 2 million Doug
Thank you Sean. That is much appreciated!
Looks like a great pen. Thanks for the objective review. The fact that the barrel unscrews from the section for cleaning is a big win. BINGO.
Great review as always. I'm pleased that these are all using the same mechanism, should be easy and cheap to get a hold of parts if there's ever a failure. If I win, I promise to say BINGO on every fill.
It's good to know about parts compatibility between different brands. What I like about your channel is that in addiction to the good humor, the pens shown are within reach of many .
Thanks for her review. The pen is on my radar since I first time saw it.
Bingo, for sure.
Right on!
Congratulations on the 2 million views Doug! 🎊 🎉 Here’s to 2 million more! 🎉
Thank you, Javi C!
HaHa … I love your short film clips, guitar playing etc. and the way you change things up a bit , nice you’re not reading a script, ( if so, good job 😂) making it so natural your own personality comes through… you always point out ( talk about) interesting things and new things I didn’t know … also you’re very good about talking about Pens that we can actually afford … not just want😊 lol
Bingo !!
Thank you Terri!
My husband and I enjoy watching your very informative videos. Congratulations on 2 million! BINGO
HI CLAUDIA! (hi warren)
Hey Doug, I've been enjoying your channel as a subscriber for over a year now. Great content. I also love that you are giving your opinions from north of the 49th, where I also am! Whenever I am looking for a video review, I can do a search and come upon your entertaining content to inform me of the ins and outs of affordable pens. Bingo!
Thanks, Greg!
Congrats on the 2M and thanks for another great review! I've been wanting an Asvine pen for a while, might be time to pull the trigger on it. Bingo!
Go for it!
Looks like a new pen to add to my wish list. Bingo!
Hey Doug, You did it again. Congratulations on achieving one more milestone. Bingo!!
Thank you kindly
Hi Doug, love your videos and your pithy wit. I also love the fact that you include affordable pens in your reviews: great for those of us who are impoverished but enthusiastic. Long may you continue to share your knowledge and give us some belly laughs along the way!
Thanks 👍
Love the Asvine pens! You are great, and very entertaining in all your channel content!
Thank you so much, Lynn!
What a nice way to celebrate 2 million views! Thanks for all the reviews. Bingo!
You bet!
Another great review, Doug. Total plus that all of these vac fillers have interchangeable parts. I have a Narwhal Original + and totally agree with you about the posting issue of its cap. Fortunately, it's large enough that unposted it writes very comfortably. Good luck to all. Bingo!
Congratulations on reaching 2 million views! Thank you for another great review. I'm adding this to my want list which is getting really long as I watch your videos. Bingo!🖋
Awesome! Thank you!
Thanks for rekindling my interest in fountain pens. I really enjoy your reviews and commentary. Bingo!
Glad you like them!
I got hooked on the guitar intros before the pen videos. I’m a sucker for a 3 series Rickenbacker. Love the videos.
Sycophant is spelled "sick" like "sicko" and "phant" like Elle E. And your channel is one of my go tos, and I credit you with at least half the Jinhao's on my desk, so thank you for all you do, and congrats on 2M views! BINGO
Congrats Doug! :) Bingo!
Doug, I love the irreverence of your reviews as well as your wonderful taste in music! thanks for the opportunity! Bingo!
Congrats on 2 million views!! This pen is absolutely awesome. I love vacuum fillers. I have a Wing Sung 3013 at the moment, I’m not particularly a fan due to the nib & feed having issues, but I’m now really interested in the Asvine as an alternative option! Thankyou for all the brilliant videos, bingo!
Awesome! Thank you!
Doug, I always enjoy your videos. I can't believe this one was more than 20 minutes long, but time really does fly by when you are enjoying yourself doesn't it? :-) They are always full of personality and I appreciate how thorough you are, even to the point of actually demonstrating interchangeability and making spread sheets. Another home run, or you might say bingo!
Glad you enjoyed it
It's always nice to see vac fillers at affordable prices. nice classic design, nothing too fancy but it's not too simple a interchangeable nib is always a plus. Fantastic review as always, Just wait till you hit 2 billion views you deserve it. Bingo
Congrats and thanks for the review! I've been looking for a nice economical vac filler and that frosted white is calling me now. Bingo!
Glad I could help!
Congratulations on your 2 Million views. Well earned, well deserved. Thanks for all you do!
Thank you, MrCabimero!
Congratulations! The quality, humor and straightforward nature of your videos make them a joy to watch. The wide breath of pens you review, especially the Chinese pens, filled a hole in the pens I saw on UA-cam. I wish you continued success. BINGO!
Wow, thank you!
As always, very informative review. And it’s nice that you investigates “relationship” between different pen brands/models. This kind of information is especially interesting for me. When I saw the video for situation vs TWSBI and Narwhal tension I thought “Bingo!”
Glad you like them!
Your channel's witty, warm, and wise
With all the grandeur of an elephant.
And while I hope to win the prize,
I am not just a sycophant.
This is the bright spot of my Saturday:
Good pens and cheerful lingo.
Though I may buy it anyway,
That Asvine's cool, so - Bingo!
Thomas Dowling, you keep me from scowling! Thank you so much! You have the poets touch!
Thank you. I have found your videos to be informative. Some pens could be drab, but your videos are such fun! Bingo.
Thanks for watching!
This was another great review. I really enjoy the way you compare pens that are so close we know what we are really getting for our money. Oh and bingo 🙂
Congratulations on a great channel and a great review, I don't yet have a vacuum filler and this one looks great. Bingo!
Thanks so much!
Congrats on 2 million views!! It makes sense, you're one of the few pen channels that's willing to openly state when you don't like something. Keep the hot takes coming! Bingo!
Congratulations on 2 million, Doug. BINGO.
After looking at other vac fillers for a long time, you've sold me on this Moomahasvine. Yep, by the end of the video I said "Bingo!"
Thank you, MaryAnne !
Your contents is not only informative but also fun~~~ : Thanks for making your videos.
I appreciate that!
A quick shoutout to say thanks for the awesome giveaway you're currently hosting. It's super cool of you to offer something like that to your viewers, and I'm having a blast participating. You're the best! Thanks again, and Bingo!
You're in! Thanks, Þórhildur!
Hmmmm... I should wait to comment until after the video is over - but then I'd forget my question!! Thanks for these reviews and your responses to questions - Bingo!!
Congratulations for the 2 million of viewers, Doug!. I enjoy a lot your reviews, they're interesting, cover all technical issues and I appreciate your sense of humour.
This Asvine vacuum filler is a superb option for its price, good looking and fine performance. When I see this pen I can only say... bingo!
Many thanks!
Doug! Nice pen! Love what Asvine is doing recently. WS 699 has some competition. Congrats on 2M. uhhhh BINGO
Been so busy I haven't been able to keep up with pen stuff as I used to, but what a lovely pen! Love the color :D I find that I enjoy the cheaper style Chinese pens lately more than any of them I've spent some moola on. My absolute favorite to write with is the Jinhao 80 with a Bobby nib, followed by the Jinhao 51a with a Bobby nib as well lol. Always planned on checking out an Asvine pen too, just haven't gotten to it. Thank you for the generosity of the giveaway and grats big time on the 2 mill! Uno! Oh wait no, BINGO!
2 M views WOW Congratulations Mr D.R. You are Awesome and your Channel is such fun. It's like winning the Bingo when a new video pops up. Mic drop LOL
You're in!
Thanks for another excellent review. I’ve never been disappointed in the pens I’ve bought based on your reviews. I also appreciate the movie and TV clips in your videos. I look forward to this new Asvine, especially with your comparison to the PenBBS 456.
Oh and BIngo! (One of my granddaughter’s favorite characters from the cartoon series Bluey)
Thanks for sharing!
Congratulations on 2 million views!!! Thank you so much for helping me get into fountain pens with your reviews, and broadening my horizons by showcasing pens that other youtubers don't really talk about. Here's to the next million views 🎉🎉🎉 Bingo
You are so welcome!
My dear Doug you and your channel are as beautiful as the breath of the wind that passes through the branches of a tree that brightens my summer days, as beautiful as the sun that warms and calms my autumn afternoons, as splendid as the ink that flies on the blank page making my thoughts indelible and eternal.
Matteo
Wow, thank you
Congratulations on the 2M views! Impressive by any means. Loved the As-Moon-Jon whatever, always great to know parts are interchangeable, especially when some companies get better marketing and start inflating their prices. Way to go and cheers to more views, Bingo!
Thanks!
That shade of blue goes really well with the gold hardware! Bingo :)
Congrats on 2M. Thanks for another great review. I appreciate the observation that many of these models share the same innards - investing in a PenBBS parts bag will keep most of these running for a while. BINGO.😊
Thanks for watching!
Doug your expertise and knowledge about pens, giving fair reviews on pens irrespective of cost or from which country they originated from and of course your skills to talk with humour and at the same time giving good professional display of pens and features is what makes your channel so special..great quality videos with music, display always tempt me to buy new pens 😅..Bingo!
Thank you so much, Vivek Singh!
That Asvine V126 is truly a lovely pen. I had never thought of adding a vac-filler to my small collection, but this is the pen that could well make me change my mind. Now to fill the free space and cry Bingo!
Your wit and wisdom are without parallel. The Asvine seems a joy forever. Keep on the great analysis work!
Thanks, John!
Asvine hasn't really been in my radar before, this one looks really nice. I don't have any vacuum fillers...yet.😉 Thanks! Oh, and Bingo!
Enjoy the knowledgeable and entertaining reviews and also the guitar solos and vocal accompaniments. Keep them coming.
Bingo
Thanks, will do!
Congratulations Doug! 2 million views -- well earned -- Bingo!
Thank you, Amy!
Thanks for yet another thorough review and comparison, Doug. I have two piston filler TWSBIs, but am yet to try a vacuum filler pen. I think this Asvine V126 would be great to try. Bingo! 🙂
You bet!
Congratulations on the 2M views. Thanks to you I recently decided to pull the trigger on a Waterman Carene. I couldn't be happier with it. Also, I love the way your channel treats all fountain pens equally regarding of their country of origin. Oh and I almost forgot....Bingo!!
Keep up the good work.
Good choice!
How are you Doug? Well, I like a lot of things on your videos: 1st. you show budget chinese fountain pens, 2nd. comparisons are pretty cool and 3rd. writing samples are honest... Videos are fun also... Thanks. BINGO
Congratulations on 2M views, Doug! I really enjoy your reviews, and appreciate when you go in depth regarding the more complicated filling systems and how to disassemble them (I'm not very mechanically-minded lol). I love my Asvine V169 so it's nice to see a lighter vacuum-filler made by them with the same kind of smooth-writing nib. I'm glad they made the acrylic frosted, as opposed to clear plastic; that little detail sets them apart from the pack, at least in that regard. Here's to millions and millions of more views on your fine YT channel! 👏🥳🎉
Thank you so much, M.a.j.a!
@@InkquiringMinds You're welcome, Doug!
Great Review by the best pen reviewer on You Tube. I don't need this pen, but will probably buy one now.
Wow, thanks!
