Thanks for introducing the Kaweco piston filler to me. Now we can finally stop using cartridges in a Sport. And inky fingers are a trademark of most fountain pen users. Same here.
@@OdE-ObjectosdeEscrita Actually both of them in the same video, one after the other 🤩 It shouldn’t take more than 15 minutes if you just swap the nib sections🌸
Thanks for the continuing coverage of the Piston Filler. I'm just wondering: what brand/type is that lovely little notebook? It has the shape of an old bank chequebook.
Thank you for the video, I was going to buy it but if the capacity is the same, I'm going to skip it and just get a Kaweco in aluminum, I'm not going to fork 155 euros for a standard kaweco with a pretty handle.
(sorry for the late reply!) I understand. I don't think Kaweco made this for the increased ink capacity, but for the filling experienced that users asked for for a long time.
It may be the same capacity as a cartridge, but its more than the small converter for the sport. Also cartridges are more expensive to use, new cartridges, than bottle inks.
(sorry for the late reply!) Sure, the small converters don't take up much ink. And cartridges are more expensive. But I often refill empty cartriges with a syringe from a bottle.
Did you measure the ink capacity yourself? To only have 1 cartridge of ink capacity is disappointing. I have heard that it is more than a cartridge (which is about 0.7ml)
No. I don't have a proper laboratory scale to do it with such precision. It is the information on the paper sleeve, over the tin... It is like the cartridge, but with a different filling experience (from the bottle).
Re filling mess on hands. I haven’t filled a piston pen but I have converters in my pens and I finally learned to wear gloves. I buy “nitrile exam gloves” at my local hardware store … big box. I wear a pair for any messy chore. 😊
Thank you for a preview of the awaited piston filler 😃👍💕 I was wondering if the nib and feed are friction fit; Kaweco site also indicates a need nib 190 highlighting different nib housing for this pen, but curious if existing 060 premium or 14k nibs can be replaced by friction fitting 😊
The feed housing is different and the feed also. The nib is the same. So you can push a 060 premium nib into this unit, pairing it with the the new feed.
@@OdE-ObjectosdeEscrita thank you so much for your awesome preview video and reply on the nib! 😃😊🙏👍❤️💕 clears up a lot as I wait for one of these! 😃 yes, a piston Sport is long awaited indeed;
The review is done, now! A cartridge is, for me, enough ink for a while. But yes, I think most people expecte a larger ink capacity. But how to do it in such a small barrel? Maybe, for the people who need more ink capacity maybe a plastic Sport using it as an eyedropper pen?
@@OdE-ObjectosdeEscrita Yes, Sport is a tiny pen for piston-filler and the mechanism is quite burdensome, yet it is still using inner width of the barrel. So it could be seen as a really short eyedropper when not considering the piston (in which I expect a little bit more than current specs)... And I think the old piston sport has slightly higher capacity than this modern counterpart? Now think about it, I kinda wish they will make actual eyedropper sport out of this design: O-ringed screw-in nib unit, sealed body with ink window, and hidden rear knob for operating ink stopper.
Cool Kaweco Piston-Sport! I hope you enjoy the nib as much as I do. No baby's bottom on the one I have. I always enjoy the Kaweco nibs of which I've tried trhe ,, Premium,and . Just received a 1.5mm stub Kaweco nib;have yet to try it.
I agree. I never had real trouble with Kaweco nibs. I had once Perkeo M that was a little too feedbacky and an EF that was too dry. But considering the amount of Kaweco nibs I used, it is not a bad success rate at all.
I love fountain pens, but I really hate to have inky fingers. Sometimes it happens and it is ok. But that is one of the reasons I prefer cartridge pens. Much cleaner to use.
Thanks for introducing the Kaweco piston filler to me.

Thank you for watching. Yes, we can stop using cartridges. Although I prefer cartridges, I confess. I re-use them by filling with a syringe.
Curious how difficult it is to disassemble?
They say it is not be disassembled by the user.
@@OdE-ObjectosdeEscrita thanks for the info, that’s disappointing
Thanks 🙏
Now I'm eagerly waiting for the full review🤗 with the broad nib 🌺
That is something I still need to decide: if the review is with the F or the BB. You would prefer BB?

Thank you for this video, very satisfying.

@@OdE-ObjectosdeEscrita can you weigh the pen empty and full with a mg scale? The difference in grams is the number of ml since 1 gram water = 1 ml
Cannot wait to get one.
It is great, in my opinion.
I'm curious about the impressions from writing experience comparing to other AL models (weight, balance). Thanks again :)
I like it a lot. But maybe I should do some "Versus" videos comparing with other Sport variations?

I don't like inky fingers but I don't like gloves too... I think gloves are the way to go if one doesn't like ink on the hands.

Do you by any chance know a nib meister in Portugal?
No! Unfortunately no! 😐
Thanks for the filling demonstration, looking forward to the full review.
The fact it only holds capacity equivalent to an ink cartridge terrifies me.

Looks beautiful, but I prefer the convenience of cartridges to avoid the messy job. Clean cut operation with cartridges!

@@katydcat1737 the messy part is probably its very charm.

EF nibs are also excellent.

They are a little dry for my preference.
I wear my inky fingers with pride!
Me too!

I understand that but... I just can't! I like to keep my fingers clean. 🙃
