Should i but this retractable fountain pen or the platnuim curdias?

Thank you for this video. At first the screw bolt separated from the piston. I had to get a tweezers to pull the screw out... it squeaked. Not oiled enough, I am guessing. This is my first use. I used Windsor Newton Black Indian Ink. Guessing that was not a good call. Is there an affordable waterproof ink you'd recommend?

I received mine today!!! It’s beautiful!

How does the nib of the 9019 (Fine) compare?

I have the matte translucent white model of this pen and have to say that I have not had problems with the nib. Both my Asvine pens have been pretty good riht out of the box and the nib on V126 is really nice and bouncy (P20 is decent too). I only wish they would do more nib choices on top of the standard EF/F sometimes M.

Just got a used Targa with steel nib - prettiest pen ever, and a great writer

I have the Goldspot Exclusive Nebulosa Laguna in a Leonardo pen, and it is a beautiful resin. I'm tempted by this pen but I have the Original Plus in Azureus Blue and the nib dries out really badly when the pen is not in constant use. I do know to open the end knob.

How much and how to get these

There is a tissue? I have the ink and I never noticed I had it for months

I've got the M2 in caramel brown on its way. The finial graphic passed me by when I ordered it but, as a loud & proud cat dad, it is a much appreciate added bonus. I imagine, if it writes as well as most reviews suggest, the other colours will be making their way to me soon enough!

Great song of choice.!! 😊

Hey mate. I love your videos !

An ink window will be very useful.

Great video! I have the Original Plus in Azureus Blue and I like it better than this one, because I can see the ink slosh around. However, this does have beautiful colors. If I can offer some constructive criticism, I would get rid of your outros, as they're a bit boring to watch. The quality of your videos is great, though, and I really appreciate the disassembly of all pens and the pros and cons list. Very well done!

I like the resin a lot. Nahvalur makes great pens. Some missteps but overall they are very consistent. Just an ink window would have been convenient. The Pineider is my best vacuum filler.

What a wonderful resin. I know it would disrupt the appearance, but wouldn't an ink window be useful? It's not critical but it would be nice.

so helpful. thanks

In india this pen is available by the name of Pilot V pen at just 1.2 US $

You can remove the lacquer with steel wool.

Thank you for your excellent review. I wanted to decide between lamy 2000 and pilot 823 and your video helped me decide.

Great review. I own the 1866 max (wood and chrome), its a great pen at a great affordable price. The A3 I haven't used it just yet, but it looks really good. I own the Silver and Rose Gold model.

Get em

My black forest carbon fiber came with 0 cartridges. If you received 20, you struck gold, lol.

I have the 1860 Max. It has a #6 black nib. Why this has a #5 nib is unclear. My nib was very scratchy. I think it was made more than 2 years ago when their nibs were not as smooth as they are now. I am guessing it can be smoothed with micromess.

Thanks, this was helpful. I recently bought what was sold as a new Lamy 2000 from a highly rated Ebay dealer, but your shot of the interior of your new cap confirms what I suspected, that mine is a used pen. My flat cap springs have some polished wear and I see a few spots of ink. I initially thought maybe mine was inked once, but it's definitely more tarnished than yours. Probably mine is older than I initially thought.

If they make the Custom 743 into piston filler it will go toe to toe with Custom 823. 😂 Custom 743 should ditch the cheapo Con 70. 😂 Pilot should make a piston filler 743...

Put my sharpie back 😂

I've always been amazed that they can get so many carrots into that tiny little nib.

This pen was a disappointment for the reasons you mentioned, plus I’ve had horrible drying out issues. If not used every day, it will dry out. And I think the reason for this is ink crusting up on the silicone seal, not allowing it to close completely. Huge flaw. I’d be interested to hear if you had the same issue.

How does the oxblood behave in the pc832? have you had any problems?

I have 2 black Lamy 2000 pens. One has an F nib and the other has an OM nib. Both write very nicely, OM very buttery and with variable thickness of the curved lines, while the F nib gives a firmer response to contact with the paper and leaves a thinner patina of ink. Because they are of the same color, I don't know which one I take out of the case first, but I write with great pleasure, then I take out the other one and continue my work. I like the writing differences between the two pens so much that I take a white sheet of paper and write all kinds of nonsense just for the pleasure of seeing the two differences. If you ask me, I can't choose between the two... I also have a Lamy rollbar that competes with them, but this is usually for everyday use where I can afford to be more careless with things.

Do you know where I can purchase a vintage black 45? I have the original Parker Box No. 113 and I’m trying to find the 45 pen that went with it. Your information would be appreciated.

Please note, while I have not witnessed any damage with this cleaning technique, some have reported piston rod threads breaking when unscrewing the knob in this manner. If you are going to attempt to remove the piston rod, do so at your own risk, and do so sparingly.

Hello. Thanks for the video. I would like to note that Lamy does not reccommend you disassemble the piston mechanism, …ever. I say this because, following a relevant video from Goulet, I did the latter in one of my Lamy 2000, and after doing so a few times, I permanently damaged the threads of the piston. I have been - actually - told, that the sounds you hear when unscrewing the piston mechanism are the sounds of those threads being chewed. Luckily, I managed to find another new piston, and replaced my damaged one. I hope this helps.

If you do the first fill onlyhalf way, then you can draw the ink from the feed and section into the barrel, instead of it being forced outwards. Makes things a bit less messy.

Can I use razor blade like from Gillette? I don't have shims or feeleer gauge.

Love the size of this for a travel sketch pen! I wonder if this would make a good eye dropper filler?

My favourite pocket pen. My brass Liliput goes with me everywhere, I use it every day. I got a fine Kaweco Premium nib for it which writes very nicely, I think Kawecos are perhaps the best cheap nibs around. I find the "how many turns to uncap" question faintly bemusing. Its clearly important to some people but it's not something that even occurred to me until I started watching fountain pen videos on RUclips.

From the heart of my bottom, I thank as does my TWSBI too. 😁

With the new converter Kaweco put out, I might actually get this one...

Somehow my liliput (black) I bought here in India came with a brass clip at no additional cost. But it’s a little too thin for me in comparison with the other 3 (which I also have).. Which watch ⌚️ are you reviewing next ?😉

Nice looking pen. Nice weight. It is just too thin for me. I can see it being used for taking short notes but as a daily writer, not so much. If i was to buy a Kaweco it would be something on the size of a Dia2.

Hi, I just purchased the Vanishing Point from Japan. Unfortunately I'm pretty noob, but with the stock ink cartridge (black), I'm getting A LOT of skipping with barely any ink coming out on any upward strokes. Do you have any tips or know what might be wrong?

Doctor's view: that blood needle is very painful with that huge needls😅

I own the Japanese Market Capless (VP) Special Alloy, but tried a fine nib Decimo in mica grey. I personally loved the fine nib, the lightness, and the better proportioned looks of the Decimo, but the pen was a little thin for my tastes. I found myself grabbing onto the pen more aggressively, so my fingers kept sliding down the barrel, and the lack of strong clip indentation made my fingers press into the clip more than the full sized VP. I may try a Medium nib Decimo one in the future, but I’d like to give myself more time writing with my VP, and see if I would like to get a gold fine nib model in the instead. While I do find the VP to be pretty heavy, I can let the weight of the pen do all the work, unlike my Custom Heritage 92, which forces me to apply pressure to get even lines. It’s why I prefer the #5 soft nibs more.

FYI, a rag soaked w/ acetone will remove all of the markings from the exterior surface of a Varsity pen barrel, turning it into a clear “demonstrator”. It takes a bit of rubbing, but it’s less than a 5-minute project.
