Way to go on getting others into our hobby. The first taste is almost free!
Wow thanks buddy!
@@danstein2467 can I send you a pen?
@@Doodlebud question... Are you related to AVE, you guys have a VERY similar tone and speaking cadence, he just has a little more volume
@@Doodlebud Thanks for the offer. I have plenty. Give it to someone who is starting in the hobby. I’m going to be in Victoria this fall. Perhaps we can catch a cup of coffee.
@@danstein2467good on ya, glad you're not bein greedy
Are you kidding me, I literally just was thinking about looking into some beginner fountain pens, went 'hey I should check out that guy with the entertaining blue ink vid', and lo and behold what do I see on your channel when I come to check? Its like you read my mind!!
Its not "like" I can read your mind.....I CAN read your mind. Muahahaha!!! 😈
I got the fountain pen bug from my 82 year old mom whose been using them her whole life. But as far as sifting through the topic online and understanding the basics while being genuinely entertained, this channel has been unbelievably helpful for the last several months. Thanks DB!
I've been into this hobby since 1986.. Never get tired of discuss pens, nibs, inks..
The best part about the fountain pen hobby is there are flavors for everybody. I personally love the inexpensive options that look so cool and unique so people ask abt what it is. Thanks DB!!!
My boyfriend's been meaning to get into fountain pens but I don't wanna intimidate him with the costs. This is such a great resource to find something affordable enough for him to try out without feeling guilty about pricing. Thank you so much!
If you're a dab hand at minor nib re-alignment, then the economical choices are great. I usually don't recommend the Jinhao/Wingsung pens to people who don't have someone nearby to tune the nib if it arrives a little off.
@@stationerystream yeah, hongdian and pilot would be my top choices
Go with Penbbs - I got 456 and I can compare with Wingsung 630 (to big), Lamy Safari (to scratchy even with M nib). Penbbs is great quality and nib is butter smooth. If you want surprise him - buy him Iroshizuku ink (other recommendation Herbin Emerald of Chivor). Majohn A1 is very interesting too.
Hongdian M2 is one of the best pocket pens I’ve used. Under $20, can’t beat it.
I have been on the bench on the Jinhao 9019 and after watching this episode, WA LA entered the 9019 game.
I have stayed away from Chinese knock off fountain pens but recently purchased a Majohn A1, again after watching one of your episodes, and like it.
I am retired now and cannot justify original brands anymore.
I do realize most if not all fountain pens are knock offs to each other, no matter the brand.
Any ways, I am now venturing into low cost, good build knock offs.
I have even left the Japanese Vintage fountain pen searches over costs.
I do credit your channel's episodes with my move to Chinese fountain pens.
Joyous grand writing g to you.
Well to be fair, the 9019 is 0.1% the *starting* cost of the original it copies (Namiki Emperor). I don't know anyone who would think spending that kind of money is a good idea. The nibs on the cheaper stuff can sometimes need some work (too dry, hard starts etc) but if you are happy to learn how to fix them that can be a rewarding part of the hobby as well. These nibs are only a few dollars so no big loss if you mess one up.
I messed one up and thought "well I won't do that gain" but in buying a replacement I realised how cheap they are and now I've got spare nibs in all sizes and weights, including Lamy compatible italic nibs in all sizes and broad Jinhao #8s etc. I actually think it's more fun than owning an Emperor, which I'd hardly be game to put ink in.
I've given a few people a Platinum Preppy, which was about the only one not on your extensive list. Less than ten bucks makes it a no brainer. Once they use the cartridge that comes with it, I show them how to order more or how to eye dropper it, depending on their skill levels. If they're totally not hands on, I eye dropper it for them and just keep the ink up to them. I bought Indian and Chinese inks in every imaginable colour for the purpose. The inks from India (Daytone) are perfectly serviceable at 2 cents ml and I even use the yellow in a brush pen for myself and use it as a highlighter. So many cheap options to share the hobby.
I used the Preppy at first and gifted a few as well. Now I've upgraded to the Plasir using all my Preppy nibs & sections from before. I especially like the felt tip I got for it. I had a red that was too bright to write with. One felt tip and a refilled cartridge later, I have a Plasir highlighter :)
You can eye dropper the Varsity too.
Jinhao 82 s nibs are a hit or miss in my experience. Their QC leaves a lot to be desired. Some tuning can make them fantastic writers, but can be a turn off for beginners who want something working out of the box/have limited knowledge on nib tuning.
Doodlebud, your video on cleaning out Baystate Blue, plus your review of the Jinhao 82, were the gateway for me to enter the fountain pen world. Thank you for continuing to make space in your video lineups for encouraging newbies!
Been hearing the Jinhao's may not be the best since they apparently don't have great quality control. Platinum Preppy is the only one not on this list, but I've heard it recommended by many people in the past, and it's like $10
Thank you so much for your amazing videos. I recently started the plunge into fountain pens, love getting ideas for new lower priced pens.
Thanks for this quick overview....really got me started on gift ideas for my family.
Thank you for this wonderful video!! I always enjoy your stuff!!!!
I love your videos so much :) I’m a Pilot Kakuno fan and I’m glad to see it pop up again! Thanks for the video
you are an awesome blogger. love your posts. thanks for all your work!
Great timing. I've just started shopping around for my first fountain pen, and your channel has been a great resource!
Great selection! I only have the Lamy Safari out of all on your list but itching to try the rest!! Thanks for sharing!
Your reviews are amazing and very helpful. Thanks!🎉
Great look at more options out there, thanks
I love sharing the FP hobby, happy you’re here helping out. Everyone was new at one point and navigating it can be daunting. Thanks 🙏
Another great video Doodlebud! Love watching these.
Love your reviews! I have just started in the fountain pen hobby and have only tried the Lamy Safari and Pilot Metropolitan for now. I really loved the pilot writing experience! Looking forward to exploring some more Pilot pens!
Great video on entry level fountain pens. Like that you’ve included the look-a-like Chinese options as well, broadening the what’s available out there. I started my journey with the Majohn A1 having watched your video on the fish scale version. Looking forward to the next video.
Your channel was the one that really got me interested in the hobby. I've seen other channels talk about it and while I am usually impressed at their dedication, yours was the first that really got me to check the hobby out. Started with a Lamy a few months ago (a matte black gift set), already up to 6 pens and a 7th on the way right now, and multiple inks, too! Thank you!
Don't make the mistake I've made of deciding to buy every colour of diamine inks...
Over 100, so far, and still a bunch more to go 😂
EDIT to add: If you want a pen which holds a *lot* of ink, perhaps to take on holiday, the TWSBI GO is great and is very cheap.
@@mattsadventureswithart5764
running into the same problem myself! the inks are *so pretty*
@@mattsadventureswithart5764 Inks are a great temptation. I've limited myself to only 8 so far of different brands... but theyre all full size bottles... I didn't realize how useful samples are until just recently. But there are so many good ones!
I haven't had the chance to travel with them yet, but those GOs look miiiighty useful for it! Thanks for the recommendation!
I love your content brother truly educational. I love the fact that one can get the feel of expensive pens with a cheap price....❤❤
Fantastic choice, I have several of the ones reviewed and you have been completely right.
my congratulations for the channel and the comments.
Great review. Keep up the good work!
I really appreciate this videos. I've learned a lot from your channel, I got a 9019 after seeing your review and I've really enjoyed it. It's hard for me to hold smaller pens, so this pen really was a god send. Thank you so much!
I was just searching for fountain pen gift options. Thank you for this list!
This was very enlightening! Thank you.
Very good selection for starters. Great job. Thank you.
Thanks for this. So many options for a beginner!
Splendid! Preaching the good word. Great videos!
Your videos got me hooked up on the Safari and fountain pens in general after I used the same ball point for over 10 years ^^. Great stuff!
Thanks for this great guide into the rabbit hole
Thanks for the video! I appreciate the introduction to so many affordable options. I already have the Lamy Safari and have been considering the TWSB eco. You've presented some other intriguing options here.
How about I send you one of the giveaway pens 😁 Send me an email at thedoodlebud@gmail.com
Great list! I love your channel
Hey there - thanks for the info! I've been considering getting into fountain pens for years now and have just kept avoiding it for reasons of cost, complexity, etc. but videos like this really help de-mystify the whole process. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for review and links!!
Well, done, sir! This is absolutely the BEST intro video I have seen. Thank you!
Love the list! I recently started with the Lamy Safari and bought a Schaefer Snorkel can't wait for that to come
@@RonyTheRhombus. Would you like another pen for me to send you? 😁 Send me an email at thedoodlebud@gmail.com
Always love waiting for that Doooodlebud! Great video once again.
Watching you pull out the Visconti was like seeing a classic car come out of a garage. Thank you for that moment lol
Nice list, excellent video.
As usual, very informative, simple, and not a too long review of such lovely fountain pens! I'm sure that this review will bring some newcomers into the fp world 😊
I am a beginner in this hobby, and I absolutely love your videos! Thank you for doing all the reviews and comparisons that you do it is extremely helpful.
@@willhewitt1497 How about I send you one for the giveaway pens. Email me at thedoodlebud@gmail.com 😁
Thanks for the suggestions! Gives me a little more to look into.
Great list! would love one of those jinhao 82's
Thank you so much for taking the time to educate novices to this wonderful writing experience.
Thank you for going over the more inexpensive pens. Also thank you for high lighting Jinhao pens. I love the 159. I've been enjoying your reviews. Thanks again.
Thanks so much for the top 10 roundup. I would have never considered some of these pens and have added a few to my AliExpress cart!
Am new to FPs and have watched a lot of your videos. I learn something from every one. Today's gem was that quick switch you did with the Lamy nibs. Solved my problem. Thank you from Bellingham!
Thank you for this list!
I like your videos. You are realistic with the info and aren’t trying to sell a product. You do very honest reviews. Thanks
Your comment was picked so let me send you a pen. Email me at thedoodlebud@gmail.com :)
Very helpful! You might have talked me into getting an Asvine!
Great selection. I have several of these and agree with your descriptions. A couple that I don’t have will get a second look.
I have been looking for good starting pens thank you for the video
Another great video! I wonder if you would do a video on nib brand comparison
You fabulous Canadian you! Love your method of taking off the Lamy nib. Watching the rest of the video now....😊
Nice video. I remember watching every video I could when I first started out in the fountain pen world. I've been very curious about the Jinhao 9019 for a while. I just haven't pulled the trigger. I bought a 3-pack of the Jinhao 82's and found that they were just too small for me. However, you are right that they make great gifts for people who might not have used fountain pens. Thanks again db.
I’m just getting into fountain pens it’s such a lovely writing experience. Thanks for so much information, especially about ones that are good at stopping the ink drying out
Awesome video! It's not super original but i really want to start collecting fountain pens, i just don't know where to start. However your channel has been a God send. Will definitely be checking some of these out!
This is a great video, and I'd love to try out a Jinhao!
Highly engaging videos, love them everyday !!
this is a really great list!
Excellent selection!
I just fell down the fountain pen rabbit hole about 2 weeks ago, and your channel has been giving lots of great info. Still trying to decide which route I want to go for my first
Love this rundown of starter pens - curious to try a Jinhao.
Thanks DB. Enjoy & appreciate your videos. Have helped not just on my collection but also for gifting. I really appreciate the variety of your suggestions also as I gift to different age groups, fountain pen experience, what they'll be using them for...
Inspirational, thank you.
I’ve been lurking in the fountain pen world for a few months. I really like your channel for it’s understandable explanations.
Great choices! Well done!
I may not comment too often but THIS IS MY FAVORITE PEN CHANNEL! You’ve helped me learn so much and I had no idea JinHao was actually worth trying!! Now I want one!
Thank you 😊 and highest praise for your incredible camera skills!!
Great video, I'm fairly new collecting so I'm always wondering what's a good pen to give as a gift. Thanks for the suggestions!
Lovely review of inexpensive fountains for those who r getting started. My first fountain pen was called 'Stypen'. It was my school pen, late 1970s and early eighties and I loved it. Once that split I got given a Parker from my Grandma, which I still have and use today....although the lid case is now split too. I now have a few different pens in my collection, ones which u have suggested and lots of beautiful ink colours. Thank you Dear Doodlebud x Alli from UK England X
That bent nib is so interesting and cool! Thanks for the writing sample :) This video came in at just the right time, I was just thinking of getting a new pen. I love writing with my V-pen but I'd like to try writing with one of those shimmering inks and well that's my excuse for wanting a new pen 🤣 Great to see I've got more options to consider than I initially thought of!
I remember the Lamy Safari being my first ever fountain pen and writing with it for years. I always loved it and still do. Even after getting into the hobby and now having a little pen collection it still is one of my favorites
If you only have about £25 to spend on a pen, you could do a lot worse than a Lamy Safari, durable, well made and 80s styling.
It’s helpful to get a recommendation for a pen that works well for left- handers! Thank you. :) Great list. :)
Just starting in this hobby, thank you for this video.
Love these videos, fountain pens can be an expensive hobby, so it’s nice that there are mire accessible options for those of us who can’t afford the more costly pens
Love this overview! I got my first pen recently and have enjoyed the writing experience, but I feel like there is something more suitable for me. This list peaked my interest for sure
I'd love to try out that jinhao, thanks for the overview.
I got into fountain pens just recently after using an old scrivener my brother had, I had never had a more pleasant experience writing, when I got home I ordered a twsbi eco and it is a dream to write with. Love the channel keep up the great work =)
This is a great list for the anytime gift. Especially it gives me choices when I try to bring my friends into the rabbit hole😊
Really need more of these videos XD
I really have a hard time choosing what my next pen should be and I really can't spend that much since I still don't have a job. So videos like these just hep a ton.
Don't take this wrong way... but i only gift Jinhao pens if I tested them first. In my experience most of them need some work before they write OK. You need to take in consideration that the pens you receive are probably hand picked for you
Please add the TWSBI GO to the list of great pens for very cheap. They're great for taking on holiday because they hold a lot of ink, and both mine are very smooth to write with
I really like all the pens on your list. I have a few Lamys, a few Chinese pens & a Kakuno. Your videos are really helpful. Thank you 🙂
My husband and I recently got into fountain pens and have been collecting different kinds. This video is quite educational for us newcomers. Thanks!
Thanks for the overview. I'm pretty new to fountain pens, and it's great that there are so many good, low-cost options to try out. I'm gradually developing opinions about preferred size, shape, and weight of pens, so if and when I can get a higher end pen I have a better idea of which ones are likely to suit my preferences.
Returned to school after 10 years as a nurse, and found fountain pens help me enjoy note-taking. My wife still laughs at me when I tell her the budget pens are less than 30 bucks.
Thanks for making these videos! I've learned a lot from them through my fountain pen journey! I've also obtained a lot of these pens over the last year and I have to say the Asvines might be my favorites from this list! Though I have yet to try any WingSung and have been considering their vacuum version. Would you recommend the 630 over the vacuum? Also, love the Fude nibs!
Such an amazing list! I have a safari and it feels amazing! I got one gifted to me by my dad and it was one of the best ones ever!
Thank you for the video, this will be a fun time exploring some more accessible pens too keep things fresh while holding off on a more expensive purchase.
I recently tried your muji paper system that you like, and the paper quality was surprising! I typically buy the HQ paper from muji and I feel like the HQ paper is slightly more absorbent.
ever since the algorithm recommended this channel a few weeks bavk, i kinda got the fountain pen bug too! i have a lamy safari i carry at work now, just got a twisbi eco for at home scribbling, and have started getting some people fountain pens as gifts *already* 😂
i'm especially hooked on the inks, theyre so very very pretty. first fill was a sampler of noodlers blue and i love it!
thanks so much for your content, i never would have known this hobby was so deep otherwise
I still have a pen left over to ship as many people haven't replied. If you want one its yours. Just email me at thedoodlebud@gmail.com
I also started with a twsbi eco and really enjoyed it. Something about the look really speaks to me. Thank you for this list!
I'm a beginner to the fountain pen hobby, and this is so helpful for me and my friends who are willing to get into the hobby! Im actually getting a pilot metropolitan tomorrow!
Good selections. I am waiting on my gold 630 right now.
I’m a few months into fountain pens. Great starting point video. Of course I saw your Mag650 video and want that too. Have a great day
Great video choice!
