It reminds me of the TWSBI VAC700R Iris. Honestly I prefer this pen over the TWSBI. Did post my V200 (original version) and spent a while hunting for the ring. One trial learning. Great review.
@@paulmchugh1430 thank you! PersonallyI prefer this design over the TWSBI 700R, but haven’t personally used one. Asvine does make a bag of parts for maintenance, but I don’t think it includes the back O-Rings. amzn.to/48hX2ii I’d just take the other one to a hardware store and see if they have another that matches the size. Since it isn’t sealing anything, a perfect fit isn’t necessary.
I enjoyed the review of the pen, I do wonder if the have nibs for left handers. I am left handed but, I don't get all twisted up like most left handers. I turn my paper so that the top of the paper is almost facing left and, when I write, I write sort of up and away from myself, after all that, I wonder do I need a left handed nib?
@@albertreed966 the only left handed nibs I know are obliques, which are cut at an angle. But most are made for right handed users, so you’d probably be best off having a nib smith grind one. Otherwise I also see many left handed users just recommend quick drying ink
I bought one of these purporting to be “brand new” on eBay, but inside the barrel near the top (opposite end of nib), slight dark smudging that must be ink. Can this be from the factory? Or can I assume someone bought it and tried it out and tried to resell it as “new”?
@@AnonYmous-ry2jn if it’s just on the feed (black plastic behind the nib) this could be from the factory. Many companies dip test their pens to make sure they are writing properly
Great review.
I own the Titanium model and couldn't be happier with it. Asvine makes great affordable pens IMO.
@@santauxia thank you, I agree!
Got one of these real cheap at a pen show, my first Vac fill. Thanks for showing how to fill.
@@tbayless8324 glad you found it useful. A beautiful demonstrator.
3:45 the V200 is now also available in a Matt Black finish
@@CarzorStelatis you’re right, that was announced after I recorded this video. The color options on asvine and hongdian pens expand quickly!
