I think the TP test was skewed because of the paper perferations on the Cottonelle. I would redo the test with a 360 degree clamp with two boards with a hole about 2 in in diameter. An attempt at a finger strength test.😅

I was looking for this comment. He is buying the blue brita. The long lasting 6 month ones which aren't charcoal and lose lol but yes he needed to soak that filter ! Lol
Filters always need either a soak, or a rinse depending on the type. It hurts my brain to see him say something sucks when he doesn’t even test correctly. Usually it’s comedic, but it bothered me this time 😂
He does this to get people to comment. He knows there will be someone out there that will correct him, and this will generate comments which generates view time and views
The fountain pen was never a failed design and never disappeared. It's always been an option just not in most stores. The pens you're more familiar with are popular because they're cheap to make and therefore cheap to buy and easy to keep using and nothing special to throw away when done. But I have a nice $40 fountain pen that's refillable with Jars of regular ink and I love it. Plus the jars of ink have quite a bit of ink for just like $15 you can refill the pen hundreds of times
Thank you so much for saying this it’s 100% true ballpoints are cheap. Fountain pens offer a personal touch it’s a preference, hobby whatever you want to call it. There’s benefits to both and downfalls but I prefer the feel and ability to change my colours and add a personal touch. And the best part is you don’t have to break the bank to do it my first was literally a Red Pilot Metropolitan.
My grandmother would only use a fountain pen for her signature, she swore it was the best kind of pen ever 😊 Also, “the dog ran away” while actually writing “the cat ran away” 😂
Fun fact with the fountain pen, if you end up liking it, you can get a piston converter for it as well that lets you buy ink pots for pretty much infinite ink.
@@DOBBAPHOENIX Original fountain pens only had pistons. Ink wells....ever heard of them? School desks used to have a hole drilled into the corner of them to hold the ink wells. Enter any of those key words into Google. Happy learning.
@@DOBBAPHOENIX A bottle of ink lasts for eons. I've only ever emptied two bottles in 5 years of writing nearly exclusively with fountain pens (I write a lot). And the ink options are basically endless, with a variety of properties available. For example, I have sheening inks that look a different color depending on how I hold the page. And shading inks, some of which will shade a different color - so places where the ink pools (most notably the point at which you pick your pen up to start another letter or word) will be one color, while the rest will be another. There's also shimmer inks, if you like glitter. Some inks will combine these properties. Plus, if you fall down the rabbit hole far enough, you can get to glitter potions where you can take your favorite non-shimmer inks and make them shimmery. Have a purple ink with gold sheen and want to add on some pink shimmer? Totally doable. And if that kind of thing is your jam, absolutely gorgeous. And even if you don't want to fall down that rabbit hole, and just want an ink or two, buying a bottle of plain ink is relatively cheap and will last years (or longer, depending on how much you write)
@@DOBBAPHOENIX there are muitple types of converters but the most common is the screw type. You turn the knob on the end and it moves a piston up and down. I exclusively use foiuntian pens and as Christa Smith mentioned the types and colors of ink available are endless even waterproof ink. Also they do make disposable pens also, Pilot makes some that I use and cost around 14 bucks for 6 pens but they are good quality pens and I don't worry about letting people borrow them vs my nicer ones.
I love the fact that you put your real predictions out there and then are willing to "eat your words" when something doesn't come out the way you expect. Makes me smile.....saw it coming with the fountain pen....they are really nice to write with...they do take a little getting used to however...:)
You are supposed to clean the meter with distilled water before/after every use so contaminants don't mess with your readings. 67 ppm is pretty damn good btw, tap water where I live is 384.
For real. Im in california and our hose water was like +1100💀 tap is like +700👀 no filters gonna last with those numbers lol we bought a filter to wash our cars and it only lasted at 0ppm for 2 washs hahaha
@@sendrake5005 the water we use comes from an underground aquifer and it is heavy in lime deposits. Depending on where you live in the U.S. ppm can very greatly and just because it has a higher ppm doesn't mean it's not safe to drink, though I drink bottled water myself.
As someone who loves fountain pens, I loved watching you experience them for the first time lol Also, try to hold them at more of an angle with the convex side of the nib facing up. They are also heavenly to write with on good quality paper. You get way less scratching/resistance.
The way Tyler said “…I would not recommend the Amazon basics water filter 😬” in a hushed tone like he’s worried Jeff Bezos is going to break down his door and Epstein him right there for saying that 😂
My daughter is currently learning to write and over here (the Netherlands) the school still uses fountain pens. I think fountain pens win on most areas but they have a few drawbacks compared to ballpoint pens: 1. You need special ink if you're lefthanded. The ink in a fountain pen dries slower and it will smudge if you're lefthanded. 2. Convenience. They need replacing the cartridges regularly, they are more likely to leak or cause stains because the ink is much thinner.
Many fountain pens accommodate a pretty large amount of ink via a high capacity piston filler. Pens that can be converted to eye dropper are even crazier.
@@Moleda1986 You can easily flush out the old ink with water or with a tiny bit of ammonia added to the water if it's problematic. I should also note that it depends how you write, if you write from the underside (i.e. your hand does not pass over the parts written) you can use any pen and any ink. If you're writing from the side you'll need fast drying ink and you'll probably want a pen with a small nib. You need to avoid flexible or thick nibs since you're pushing against the paper whereas a righthanded person would drag instead of push.
Besides that... you want toilet paper to break down once wet. You know... so you can flush it? The Amazon stuff being stronger while wet might actually be a mark against it.
You need to run a few pitchers of water through new filters. I know you don't like reading instructions but in this case it's pretty important. Also your tap water is less than 100 on your meter so it's fine, over 500 is where it starts getting dangerous if I remember correctly.
Fountain pens are still being used in Germany with kids that learn to write. Now, it might come to you as a surprise that there are "erasers" for the ink that is used in fountain pens. It discolours the ink and has a different type of pen on the other side of the eraser pen, so you can write over the spot again in blue color. Which is why it is though to be practical for students.
The eraser is just slightly basic (around 10 pH IIRC, but don't quote me on that) which turns the ink translucent. If you use something acidic, it turn red-ish, and violet if you use something that is very basic.
I am an avid fountain pen collector, and I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of Tyler's first fountain pen experience. I have hundreds of pens, and they all write differently. But now I think I need a powdered wig so I can rewrite some laws. I may sign them with Tyler's name though.
I feel like I no longer need to hide the number of Fountain Pen groups I am in, nor the fact that I hoard them like gold. They are a dream to both write and sketch with.
Definitely. If someone started pressing harder on my Montblanc to try and get more ink, I would have to start pressing on their head. It's not a flex nib! Of course, nobody gets to touch my Montblanc so that's not really a problem.@@sundayfunday5059
I used a fountain pen through much of my university years. They take much less pressure to write with, which means far less fatigue and less chance of cramping when writing for long periods. They're more finicky and less durable, but I greatly prefer them. Plus, you can get things like italic nibs. I generally used EF/F though.
Great for people with patients and pride in making things last but that's not the average person. They're actually designed to be used in a specific way as well. Held in a 45° angle, apply light pressure to start applying full pressure by letter 3 then don't release the pen until skipping words or crossing T's and dotting I's. Perfect for the most common way to write back in the day: cursive.
I still write with one I have for school in the nineties, working fine. Much less fatigue than a biro and a lot less plastic waste. Occasional leaks, but the ink is easier to get out and nicer to deal with than when I break a biro and get that ink everywhere. Biro ink is nasty.
@@dees3179 …biro? I’ve never heard that term before. I can figure out the meaning from context though. What nationality/age group are you? I’m American, early 20s.
Tyler I love your videos so much! I’ve watched literally every video on your channel, ever since the first. Everytime I see a video come out by you I smile and get so excited. I don’t know why but you can post anything and I’ll be so excited 😂 btw I think you should make a video testing the strength of a bunch of toilet paper brands, maybe get out the crane scale, wrap the paper around some stuff and just have some fun!!
Tyler, rechargeable batteries don't have as much juice in them as single use batteries. None of them do. They're good for things like a wireless mouse or a TV remote where you can easily switch them when they die. Obviously, over the entire life of the battery, you're going to get a lot more out of them, but on a per charge basis, they don't last nearly as long. Honestly, it's such a pain to make sure you always have replacements that I'm really glad that so many things are USB powered now. None of the hassle of dealing with the rechargables, but without that awful wasteful feeling of chucking out single use batteries.
Rechargeable batteries are good for high discharge devices. While they have less capacity, they don't sag in voltage like alkalines do. So things like RC cars, high powered flashlights, camera flashes, etc. do better with rechargeables. Clocks, remotes and other low drain devices benefit more from alkalines.
If anyone wonders about the water filters.. project farm did a great video over the brands.. spoiler.. zero and some industrial filter were the only 2 that were worth much lol
That's weird. I use a brita pitcher because without it, my water tastes like it came out of a swimming pool. The water that's gone through the pitcher has none of that taste. Not that I don't think it's safe to drink unfiltered, but it tastes awful. I'm not sure I'd rely on a brita pitcher to make unsafe water safe to drink.
On the batteries, were they charged fully first? After the first drain and recharge, do the last the same length? Am really curious about the rechargable AA batteries
They gradually lose effectiveness over time, same as lithium ones do, and for the same reasons. They're good for situations where switching batteries more often isn't a big deal, like a wireless mouse or a TV remote. I think they might start to slowly disappear the more things get powered by USB these days, though. I've stopped using them because I don't think I even have any electronics at this point that take batteries.
Nickel metal hydride batteries, which I'm assuming he's using, generally perform a bit better at first after a discharge charge cycle (from personal experience using a cadex at our work). They are less prone to memory effects as nickel cadmium cells and generally have more capacity. I'm 99% sure they wouldn't be lithium because lithium ion has a voltage of 3.7 per cell, whereas a NiMH or NiCd has a voltage of 1.2 V per cell. ( An alkaline is 1.5v per cell.) It is generally not recommended to use lithium cells like that with that much higher of a voltage as direct replacements. They do make lithium cells that output 1.5 volts, but those are not rechargeable. I looked up the average capacity of an alkaline battery, and it's looking like 2850 mah. The Amazon basics ones I think he is using are 2400 mah, which equates to 15% less than the average alkaline. That happens to be way less than the difference he experienced, so they either weren't charged or severely overrated. He should take them to a local battery shop with a cadex tester or similar device to see if they are outputting around what they are rated for. I know the ones we use for rebuilds at my work are generally rated at 2200 mah and usually test at about 90% on the fist test and 120% capacity after running the test a second time new out of the packaging, so we rate ours conservatively.
The wonderful thing about a fountain pen is eventually it adapts to your writing and if another person uses it it may still work but it can be scratchy when writing.
I have a buddy who is a trained knife sharpener. He goes to competitions for it and has taken pocket knives into the single digits. He oncesharoened a blade so well that he dropped an orange on it and it sliced without any noticeably resistance, as of the orange just separated to avoid the knife.
But he also believes in a lot of stupid conspiracies (stupid because all evidence from reputable sources goes against them). So he has downsides. He is a flat Earther. If you want to know what other conspiracies he believes, Listen to the Tyler unglued podcast.
As a lefty I used fountain pens for years because with ball points you have to press into the paper. Right handed people kind of glide it from left to right but lefties push it into the paper which causes tearing or bogs down the tip. Then I started using gel and roller ball pens which are better with less of a mess. I hate regular ball points.
I would heavily recommend pilot g2 for gel pens if you haven't tried them. I have taken up writing cursive recently and they really make it easy when you're a lefty.
A sinister agreement here. I've made the rounds and settled on gel pens. The cheap ones vary widely in quality though, and even the Parker refills are occasionally disappointing. When they work, though, they're superior.
During my school days the students all had to use fountain pens. This is fine if you're right handed, but if you're left handed a fountain pen will limit the ways you can hold the pen, else you'll be dragging your hand across your writing and smudging the ink.
I know I'm showing my age here but when I went to school being left handed was treated as something barely short of a crime. 😂 I didn't learn the joy of fountain pens until I was signing my marriage license
i think even if they're all being made with cartridges, them being much more sensitive and thus risking the tip being damaged more easily, would make them lose popularity
My hypothesis for why the expensive toilet paper was weaker is the fibers are smaller. The fibers being smaller make the paper much softer but they dont hold together as well. The toilet paper also has to be thicker to be strongerThe cheap toilet paper has larger fibers that make it feel rougher and they hold together better making stronger. This is cheaper to manufacturer because it means you can use less fibers making it thinner. This is purely a hypothesis that i thought up. This may or may not be the correct answer but it makes sense to me.
Tyler, the fountain pen is a very deliberate tool you have to write with it a certain way. There are videos on RUclips watching people use them and it's magical!
It’s honestly painful sometimes when Tyler doesn’t read the directions to stuff. Those Amazon filters require either a flush, or a soak to get rid of the particulate matter that may come out of the filter. Both the Amazon and Britain filters tell you to use it then discard the first round if there is any charcoal in the pitcher.
For the water filters, keep in mind that the blue Brita filter is a long last one as they call it, it's built different than their regular filters. I noticed that it's using sheets of charcoal instead of charcoal powder, that's why you don't hear anything when you shake it, and depending for how long it's been used, it can be slower to filter due to having cached a lot of stuff. Sometimes tinny little bubbles can get stuck inside and slow it down, however, the regular Brita filters are much more prone to get bubbles stuck inside than the long last filters.
I actually find it fun to pull out one of my fountain pens and the nice stationary and write people I know an actual letter and send it off in the mail. Recipients really get a kick out of it.
Keep having fun w the videos 2 weeks into hospital stay didn't care if youtube existed for several days but now passes time and learn that a ham bone kinda actor can entertain .. not sure what kitchen at hospital thought when I asked for raw toast w my sandwich though
i swear tyler u use mountain dew for everything hahaha and the pens i use for artwork. also dying when you said let's write down the dog ran away. Writes down the cat ran away!
I kinda figured fountain pens were only for cursive writing, but my spouse says people also use them cuz it’s a sensory thing. There’s a satisfying kzzzz sound whenever you use it quickly😂 I just like it cuz you can make thin and thick lines depending on how you press on the tip. So it makes your signature super extra
I have a fountain pen from the Shaeffer company. I found it in a Staples store back in the late 1990's. They were trying to clear them out so they had slashed the price. This one has 14 kt gold plating on the metal parts. The original price was $140 and I paid $35 for it. It has a refillable cartridge. You put the nib into a bottle of ink, turn a knob on the end of the cartridge and that draws the ink up into the cartridge. Or you can use the dispoable cartridges. Unlike the one you were testing, mine doesn't take "a moment" to send the ink to the nib. Yes, it is a very smooth writing experience. But it just sits in its case not being used these days. I hardly ever hand write anything now. When I do, I typically do it on my iPad Pro with the Apple pencil. But that pen is still usable, it will be usable for probably longer than I will ever live. NOTE: when you don't plan to use the pen for any length of time, flush it out with water as the ink will dry and block the very thin channel that the ink flows through.
I love fountain pens, the only problem is, the tips are very sensitive! very easy to break your pen if your alignment is off, i.e. you pressed too hard or your tip is more vertical then at an angle. That and the ink runs out super quick. Its definitely for people who want to be extra fancy since you can also get ink bottles in a vast array of colors, and they can get pretty exotic looking with deep color saturation.
The amazon TP's perforation is worse than the better brand. This causes the seams between sheets to be stronger and harder to separate. The better brand was ripping at the perforation before anywhere else. I'd say the better the TP, the easier the perforation tear is.
im showing my age here but at our school we had to use dip pens and we had an inkwell attached to our desks, we also had ink monitors and they were responsible for filling the inkwells before lessons ! we later evolved to using fountain pens with an internal bladder which had a lever on the side which you used to draw the ink into! later on we had the cartridge pens which you used ! Happy days and inky hands !🖋🖊🖋
Before the 2 or 3 flushes, you're also supposed to let the filter sit in a glass of water for 15 min to saturate it. That's why it rattles when he shakes it, the water runs right through it, & it tastes no different from tap water. Also, for anyone out there not reading the instructions, always keep the water line above the filter (keep it wet)
tyler being confused about fountain pens still being made is so funny to me, as i am someone who has fallen down a fountain pen review rabbit hole many times
@@paulmartin7854 they definitely were filmed in reverse of what they were posted because he says “we’re definitely going to do a thorough review on the space pen”
The space pen has to overcome the stickiness of the ink, the rolling of the ball, and the pressure the cartridge in the space pen is under. The fountain pen has a much more liquid ink and the nub is only there to direct the Ink onto the paper at one point. The roller ball pen also had to overcome the rolling of the ball and a stickier ink than the fountain pen
Wow, you have made me feel so old I'm in my 50s, when I went to school we were only allowed to write in fountain pen, Biro"s weren't allowed, we had ink cartridges, blotting paper, the works, we all wrote neatly, and some people could do fancy writing ( calligraphy ) but as you say it just flowed and was very easy to write with, they were alot cheaper back then also, because everyone had one and all the shops sold them ✒️
Same here. The trick was to make sure your pen ran out half way through a test so you could catch a glimpse of other people's answers on your way to the big ink bottle on the teacher's desk. Biros were for rough notes only.
I think I am more amazed by the fact that so few people know how to write in cursive today. It has been several years since I attended grade school, but it used to be taught starting around 1st-2nd grade. So few people use it these days, and those that do seem to make up what the letters are supposed to look like. As a 39 year old who is attending college, I have found that around 80% of the students I encounter in college can not read or write in cursive. That being said, I miss the old days where we learned history and cursive writing instead of social studies and computers!
I'm 25 and went to Catholic grade school where I learned cursive in second grade. I always kind of chuckle because most of my peers can't read or write in cursive as public schools didn't teach it. Admittedly I'm out of practice so my cursive is a bit sloppy but I can still write in it and certainly read it.
Being an artist that just bought a 150$ fountain pen, after slowly building up a collection of them; it is so worth it. The kind you got with the nib it has will feel incredibly cheep once you get a decent 50$ fountain pen. Different nibs gives you different results and I love them for my art. There are such a wide variety of ink pots you can buy too! I spend quite a bit of my money on my ink collection... Very fun and addicting once you get into the wide world of fountain pens! I will never go back!
LOL read the directions...your supposed to prep the filter before you use it...very simple, run it under water for a few min. it clears out the charcoal. And I'm guessing you uploaded last weeks video with the fountain pen before this one when you got the fountain pen? Cause you used that pen in last weeks video...RUclipsrs uploading out of order...🤥
The batteries that are rechargable generally don't last as long, because they need to keep a certain percentage (about 40%) of charge to be able to be recharged, otherwise they are are deeply drained and can't be recharged anymore. (That's why phone batteries die aswell). That means you have to calculate +40% to those batteries, because the normal ones can be drained 100%.
No one’s going to mention the “I don’t know how to write TylerTube in cursive, I only know how to write my real name. I think this is how you write a T.” WHATS YOUR REAL NAME “NOT TYLER.” WE HAVE BEEN LIED TOO!!!!
My favorite part of the vid was watching Tyler write his name in cursive absolutely hilarious & I don't blame u Tyler I my self am shity as shit at cursive so you're not alone but thx 4 this vid😎😎😎.
I dunno what it's like for kids now but over here in the UK when I went to school, we nearly all had fountain pens, I think it was even a requirement at my middle school. I still had a fountain pen after I finished school in 2003. They are very nice to write with, though they have a few cons from my experience ink blots being the major one, pen will sometimes just let out loads of ink so you have to have blotting paper on hand just in case. Plus the cartridges don't last even a fraction as long as the ink in a biro and can sometimes just explode from heat or pressure which will make a mess of your pencil case lol.
I absolutely love fountain pens. When my grandfather passed we were cleaning put his house and came across my great grandfather's fountain pen which dates back to 1897. My dad gave it to me and I use it regularly, even has an ancient feather on it like the og fountain pens of old times. Never have a had a smoother writing experience. Wish more places sold fountain pens today
Very cool video! As for the toilet paper, do the same test with only one sheet of each in stead of three. The second (stronger) tore on the perforation.
Fountain pens are not relics... they are luxury pens... even to this day. They have less surface area than a ball point pen and have a larger flow of ink. Also with the toilet roll test... the perforated seams were better on the more expensive paper... hence why it gave way at the perforations. To do a more accurate test... do it on a single square with no perforations.
I remember (with horror) using fountain pens at school for 1-2 years back in the 70s. The idea is, that you can vary the line thickness by pushing softer or harder on the pen, creating quite a personal look and potentially very artistic writing (for signatures etc.) In reality, as I remember it, the darn thing mostly refused to release any ink at all, so you'd push harder until... SPLAT, a sea of ink appears on the paper - and this wasn't even a cheap pen, but a quality one from Parker. I also tried the really antique versions that didn't use a cartridge, instead you'd dip the tip of the pen into an ink bottle, then start writing. This was a really superb way of creating nice oceans of ink, but for writing? Completely hopeless. But my ink lakes did often have a very personal look So I was extremely impressed by your results!
Alkalines have a higher voltage and capacity, but rechargeables are able to maintain their voltage better under load. If he measured the fan speeds, the rechargeable would have a steady RPM, the alkaline would start slowing down almost instantly and more gradually.
My teachers in school hated that I used an italluc ountain and wrote in cursive . Didn't help that my handwriting was capricious and often poorly spelt. Also pen leaks we're common with all the jostling that a school bag environment brang.
I work for Kimberly clark and we make the cottenelle , it depends on the chemicals they are putting on the paper when it's made that determines the wet strength of the paper

Fun fact with the fountain pen, if you end up liking it, you can get a piston converter for it as well that lets you buy ink pots for pretty much infinite ink.
how does this work
@@DOBBAPHOENIX Original fountain pens only had pistons. Ink wells....ever heard of them? School desks used to have a hole drilled into the corner of them to hold the ink wells. Enter any of those key words into Google. Happy learning.
@@DOBBAPHOENIX A bottle of ink lasts for eons. I've only ever emptied two bottles in 5 years of writing nearly exclusively with fountain pens (I write a lot). And the ink options are basically endless, with a variety of properties available.
For example, I have sheening inks that look a different color depending on how I hold the page. And shading inks, some of which will shade a different color - so places where the ink pools (most notably the point at which you pick your pen up to start another letter or word) will be one color, while the rest will be another. There's also shimmer inks, if you like glitter. Some inks will combine these properties.
Plus, if you fall down the rabbit hole far enough, you can get to glitter potions where you can take your favorite non-shimmer inks and make them shimmery. Have a purple ink with gold sheen and want to add on some pink shimmer? Totally doable. And if that kind of thing is your jam, absolutely gorgeous.
And even if you don't want to fall down that rabbit hole, and just want an ink or two, buying a bottle of plain ink is relatively cheap and will last years (or longer, depending on how much you write)
@@DOBBAPHOENIX there are muitple types of converters but the most common is the screw type. You turn the knob on the end and it moves a piston up and down. I exclusively use foiuntian pens and as Christa Smith mentioned the types and colors of ink available are endless even waterproof ink. Also they do make disposable pens also, Pilot makes some that I use and cost around 14 bucks for 6 pens but they are good quality pens and I don't worry about letting people borrow them vs my nicer ones.
Someone should send Tyler a Visconti Opera Master. He hasn't even glimpsed how smooth a fountain pen can write.

I love the fact that you put your real predictions out there and then are willing to "eat your words" when something doesn't come out the way you expect. Makes me smile.....saw it coming with the fountain pen....they are really nice to write with...they do take a little getting used to however...:)
You are supposed to clean the meter with distilled water before/after every use so contaminants don't mess with your readings. 67 ppm is pretty damn good btw, tap water where I live is 384.
Damn here in sweden i get values around 10-20 :/
For real. Im in california and our hose water was like +1100💀 tap is like +700👀 no filters gonna last with those numbers lol we bought a filter to wash our cars and it only lasted at 0ppm for 2 washs hahaha
@@sendrake5005 the water we use comes from an underground aquifer and it is heavy in lime deposits. Depending on where you live in the U.S. ppm can very greatly and just because it has a higher ppm doesn't mean it's not safe to drink, though I drink bottled water myself.
67 is usually spring water with old pipes
You're also suppose to run water through a filter the first time and dump the first run
As someone who loves fountain pens, I loved watching you experience them for the first time lol
Also, try to hold them at more of an angle with the convex side of the nib facing up. They are also heavenly to write with on good quality paper. You get way less scratching/resistance.
* to add on since you’re brand new the nib is the pointy part ❤

My daughter is currently learning to write and over here (the Netherlands) the school still uses fountain pens. I think fountain pens win on most areas but they have a few drawbacks compared to ballpoint pens:
1. You need special ink if you're lefthanded. The ink in a fountain pen dries slower and it will smudge if you're lefthanded.
2. Convenience. They need replacing the cartridges regularly, they are more likely to leak or cause stains because the ink is much thinner.
As a left handed person, I learnt to adapt to the way I write. I hold the pen so I write from beneath the line, avoids smudges all together.
This was the same at my school in the UK. We were only allowed to use pens fro. Age 10/11. And that was with Fountain pens. That was 1980 tho!
Many fountain pens accommodate a pretty large amount of ink via a high capacity piston filler. Pens that can be converted to eye dropper are even crazier.
I’m left-handed, so if I buy a fountain pen is there a way to dump out the ink inside of it and add the special type of ink for lefties?
@@Moleda1986 You can easily flush out the old ink with water or with a tiny bit of ammonia added to the water if it's problematic. I should also note that it depends how you write, if you write from the underside (i.e. your hand does not pass over the parts written) you can use any pen and any ink. If you're writing from the side you'll need fast drying ink and you'll probably want a pen with a small nib. You need to avoid flexible or thick nibs since you're pushing against the paper whereas a righthanded person would drag instead of push.
On the toilet paper I think the perforations on the name brand are cut better/wider, which caused it to rip at the seam easier
This is what I saw too. The name brand just tore off at the seam.
You're defending toilet paper.
Do better
Besides that... you want toilet paper to break down once wet. You know... so you can flush it? The Amazon stuff being stronger while wet might actually be a mark against it.
Fellow drummer and I came here to say the same thing. The toilet paper itself didn't rip, it was the perforation. Tyler is just an idiot
Some people need thinner paper thats not abrasive my dad has bad hemroids and has to use the thinner kind kike the amazon basics
You need to run a few pitchers of water through new filters. I know you don't like reading instructions but in this case it's pretty important. Also your tap water is less than 100 on your meter so it's fine, over 500 is where it starts getting dangerous if I remember correctly.
Fountain pens are still being used in Germany with kids that learn to write.
Now, it might come to you as a surprise that there are "erasers" for the ink that is used in fountain pens. It discolours the ink and has a different type of pen on the other side of the eraser pen, so you can write over the spot again in blue color. Which is why it is though to be practical for students.
In Poland we learn on fountain pen also, we were like 15 years ago, now I'm not sure
@@pawepawe4854 I was learning to write around 2005 and we used mostly pencils.
You get erasable ballpoint pens too. Very popular in schools around here.
The eraser is just slightly basic (around 10 pH IIRC, but don't quote me on that) which turns the ink translucent. If you use something acidic, it turn red-ish, and violet if you use something that is very basic.
In netherlands its the same when i learned to Wright.
As a left handed these pens are a disaster.
I am an avid fountain pen collector, and I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of Tyler's first fountain pen experience. I have hundreds of pens, and they all write differently. But now I think I need a powdered wig so I can rewrite some laws. I may sign them with Tyler's name though.

Fountain pens are based off pressure and how you hold them. The tip opens up to allow more ink as you press down harder.
depends on the nib
Definitely. If someone started pressing harder on my Montblanc to try and get more ink, I would have to start pressing on their head. It's not a flex nib! Of course, nobody gets to touch my Montblanc so that's not really a problem.@@sundayfunday5059
Tyler’s “cursive” is exactly what I expected 😂😂
I used a fountain pen through much of my university years. They take much less pressure to write with, which means far less fatigue and less chance of cramping when writing for long periods. They're more finicky and less durable, but I greatly prefer them. Plus, you can get things like italic nibs. I generally used EF/F though.
Great for people with patients and pride in making things last but that's not the average person. They're actually designed to be used in a specific way as well. Held in a 45° angle, apply light pressure to start applying full pressure by letter 3 then don't release the pen until skipping words or crossing T's and dotting I's. Perfect for the most common way to write back in the day: cursive.
You can get a 5 pack for 5$ at some stores in okc
I still write with one I have for school in the nineties, working fine. Much less fatigue than a biro and a lot less plastic waste. Occasional leaks, but the ink is easier to get out and nicer to deal with than when I break a biro and get that ink everywhere. Biro ink is nasty.

Tyler, rechargeable batteries don't have as much juice in them as single use batteries. None of them do. They're good for things like a wireless mouse or a TV remote where you can easily switch them when they die. Obviously, over the entire life of the battery, you're going to get a lot more out of them, but on a per charge basis, they don't last nearly as long. Honestly, it's such a pain to make sure you always have replacements that I'm really glad that so many things are USB powered now. None of the hassle of dealing with the rechargables, but without that awful wasteful feeling of chucking out single use batteries.
Rechargeable batteries are good for high discharge devices. While they have less capacity, they don't sag in voltage like alkalines do. So things like RC cars, high powered flashlights, camera flashes, etc. do better with rechargeables. Clocks, remotes and other low drain devices benefit more from alkalines.
tyler is kinda slow. we have to take everything he does/taste with a grain of salt

That's weird. I use a brita pitcher because without it, my water tastes like it came out of a swimming pool. The water that's gone through the pitcher has none of that taste. Not that I don't think it's safe to drink unfiltered, but it tastes awful. I'm not sure I'd rely on a brita pitcher to make unsafe water safe to drink.
Btw fountain pens are still used today.. they are literally still used for the creation of mangas and other art disciplines
On the batteries, were they charged fully first? After the first drain and recharge, do the last the same length? Am really curious about the rechargable AA batteries
Rechargeable ones almost never have the same capacity as one time use batteries. At least with lithium
It would've been a fairer test to rate them against other rechargeable batteries; not non-rechargable ones.
They gradually lose effectiveness over time, same as lithium ones do, and for the same reasons. They're good for situations where switching batteries more often isn't a big deal, like a wireless mouse or a TV remote. I think they might start to slowly disappear the more things get powered by USB these days, though. I've stopped using them because I don't think I even have any electronics at this point that take batteries.
@@noahv17 which is why I am interested in what his findings would be
Nickel metal hydride batteries, which I'm assuming he's using, generally perform a bit better at first after a discharge charge cycle (from personal experience using a cadex at our work). They are less prone to memory effects as nickel cadmium cells and generally have more capacity. I'm 99% sure they wouldn't be lithium because lithium ion has a voltage of 3.7 per cell, whereas a NiMH or NiCd has a voltage of 1.2 V per cell. ( An alkaline is 1.5v per cell.) It is generally not recommended to use lithium cells like that with that much higher of a voltage as direct replacements. They do make lithium cells that output 1.5 volts, but those are not rechargeable. I looked up the average capacity of an alkaline battery, and it's looking like 2850 mah. The Amazon basics ones I think he is using are 2400 mah, which equates to 15% less than the average alkaline. That happens to be way less than the difference he experienced, so they either weren't charged or severely overrated. He should take them to a local battery shop with a cadex tester or similar device to see if they are outputting around what they are rated for. I know the ones we use for rebuilds at my work are generally rated at 2200 mah and usually test at about 90% on the fist test and 120% capacity after running the test a second time new out of the packaging, so we rate ours conservatively.

As a lefty I used fountain pens for years because with ball points you have to press into the paper. Right handed people kind of glide it from left to right but lefties push it into the paper which causes tearing or bogs down the tip.
Then I started using gel and roller ball pens which are better with less of a mess. I hate regular ball points.
I would heavily recommend pilot g2 for gel pens if you haven't tried them. I have taken up writing cursive recently and they really make it easy when you're a lefty.
A sinister agreement here. I've made the rounds and settled on gel pens. The cheap ones vary widely in quality though, and even the Parker refills are occasionally disappointing. When they work, though, they're superior.
Fountain pens feel SPECTACULAR to write with the cartridges are the upgrade they needed. They lost popularity over having to be filled from a jar
During my school days the students all had to use fountain pens. This is fine if you're right handed, but if you're left handed a fountain pen will limit the ways you can hold the pen, else you'll be dragging your hand across your writing and smudging the ink.
I know I'm showing my age here but when I went to school being left handed was treated as something barely short of a crime. 😂 I didn't learn the joy of fountain pens until I was signing my marriage license
@@dougbrown7150 I think my teachers saw being left handed as a handicap. Due to this I am now ambidextrous, silver linings and all that.
i think even if they're all being made with cartridges, them being much more sensitive and thus risking the tip being damaged more easily, would make them lose popularity
My hypothesis for why the expensive toilet paper was weaker is the fibers are smaller. The fibers being smaller make the paper much softer but they dont hold together as well. The toilet paper also has to be thicker to be strongerThe cheap toilet paper has larger fibers that make it feel rougher and they hold together better making stronger. This is cheaper to manufacturer because it means you can use less fibers making it thinner. This is purely a hypothesis that i thought up. This may or may not be the correct answer but it makes sense to me.
Tyler, the fountain pen is a very deliberate tool you have to write with it a certain way. There are videos on RUclips watching people use them and it's magical!
Tyler: The dog ran away
Also Tyler: Writes: The cat ran away
It’s honestly painful sometimes when Tyler doesn’t read the directions to stuff. Those Amazon filters require either a flush, or a soak to get rid of the particulate matter that may come out of the filter. Both the Amazon and Britain filters tell you to use it then discard the first round if there is any charcoal in the pitcher.
He probably didn't charge the batteries either.
@@floyd2386 haha prob not
23:06 “the dog ran away.” Says dog but writes cat 😂😂
When I buy things on Amazon I’m always looking to see if you left a review lol
For the water filters, keep in mind that the blue Brita filter is a long last one as they call it, it's built different than their regular filters. I noticed that it's using sheets of charcoal instead of charcoal powder, that's why you don't hear anything when you shake it, and depending for how long it's been used, it can be slower to filter due to having cached a lot of stuff.
Sometimes tinny little bubbles can get stuck inside and slow it down, however, the regular Brita filters are much more prone to get bubbles stuck inside than the long last filters.
I actually find it fun to pull out one of my fountain pens and the nice stationary and write people I know an actual letter and send it off in the mail. Recipients really get a kick out of it.

I kinda figured fountain pens were only for cursive writing, but my spouse says people also use them cuz it’s a sensory thing. There’s a satisfying kzzzz sound whenever you use it quickly😂
I just like it cuz you can make thin and thick lines depending on how you press on the tip. So it makes your signature super extra
I have a fountain pen from the Shaeffer company. I found it in a Staples store back in the late 1990's. They were trying to clear them out so they had slashed the price. This one has 14 kt gold plating on the metal parts. The original price was $140 and I paid $35 for it. It has a refillable cartridge. You put the nib into a bottle of ink, turn a knob on the end of the cartridge and that draws the ink up into the cartridge. Or you can use the dispoable cartridges. Unlike the one you were testing, mine doesn't take "a moment" to send the ink to the nib. Yes, it is a very smooth writing experience. But it just sits in its case not being used these days. I hardly ever hand write anything now. When I do, I typically do it on my iPad Pro with the Apple pencil. But that pen is still usable, it will be usable for probably longer than I will ever live. NOTE: when you don't plan to use the pen for any length of time, flush it out with water as the ink will dry and block the very thin channel that the ink flows through.
I love fountain pens, the only problem is, the tips are very sensitive! very easy to break your pen if your alignment is off, i.e. you pressed too hard or your tip is more vertical then at an angle. That and the ink runs out super quick. Its definitely for people who want to be extra fancy since you can also get ink bottles in a vast array of colors, and they can get pretty exotic looking with deep color saturation.
The amazon TP's perforation is worse than the better brand. This causes the seams between sheets to be stronger and harder to separate. The better brand was ripping at the perforation before anywhere else. I'd say the better the TP, the easier the perforation tear is.
The brand name TP broke at the perforations. The Amazon brand ripped in the middle.
“And that’s an accident you don’t want to have happen” killed me. 😂
Were the amazon batteries fully charged before the test? They generally don't ship them fully charged.

@Tyler: the filters should be run two full times before drinking or measuring but we know you never read instructions.
Before the 2 or 3 flushes, you're also supposed to let the filter sit in a glass of water for 15 min to saturate it. That's why it rattles when he shakes it, the water runs right through it, & it tastes no different from tap water. Also, for anyone out there not reading the instructions, always keep the water line above the filter (keep it wet)

The fountain pen has a much more liquid ink and the nub is only there to direct the Ink onto the paper at one point.

I think I am more amazed by the fact that so few people know how to write in cursive today. It has been several years since I attended grade school, but it used to be taught starting around 1st-2nd grade. So few people use it these days, and those that do seem to make up what the letters are supposed to look like. As a 39 year old who is attending college, I have found that around 80% of the students I encounter in college can not read or write in cursive. That being said, I miss the old days where we learned history and cursive writing instead of social studies and computers!
I'm 25 and went to Catholic grade school where I learned cursive in second grade. I always kind of chuckle because most of my peers can't read or write in cursive as public schools didn't teach it. Admittedly I'm out of practice so my cursive is a bit sloppy but I can still write in it and certainly read it.

Being an artist that just bought a 150$ fountain pen, after slowly building up a collection of them; it is so worth it. The kind you got with the nib it has will feel incredibly cheep once you get a decent 50$ fountain pen. Different nibs gives you different results and I love them for my art. There are such a wide variety of ink pots you can buy too! I spend quite a bit of my money on my ink collection... Very fun and addicting once you get into the wide world of fountain pens! I will never go back!

And I'm guessing you uploaded last weeks video with the fountain pen before this one when you got the fountain pen? Cause you used that pen in last weeks video...RUclipsrs uploading out of order...🤥
The batteries that are rechargable generally don't last as long, because they need to keep a certain percentage (about 40%) of charge to be able to be recharged, otherwise they are are deeply drained and can't be recharged anymore. (That's why phone batteries die aswell).
That means you have to calculate +40% to those batteries, because the normal ones can be drained 100%.

I dunno what it's like for kids now but over here in the UK when I went to school, we nearly all had fountain pens, I think it was even a requirement at my middle school. I still had a fountain pen after I finished school in 2003.
They are very nice to write with, though they have a few cons from my experience ink blots being the major one, pen will sometimes just let out loads of ink so you have to have blotting paper on hand just in case. Plus the cartridges don't last even a fraction as long as the ink in a biro and can sometimes just explode from heat or pressure which will make a mess of your pencil case lol.
I absolutely love fountain pens. When my grandfather passed we were cleaning put his house and came across my great grandfather's fountain pen which dates back to 1897. My dad gave it to me and I use it regularly, even has an ancient feather on it like the og fountain pens of old times. Never have a had a smoother writing experience. Wish more places sold fountain pens today
Anyone else notice Tyler saying he'll write the dog ran away, whilst writing the cat ran away 😂😂
Very cool video! As for the toilet paper, do the same test with only one sheet of each in stead of three. The second (stronger) tore on the perforation.
Fountain pens are not relics... they are luxury pens... even to this day. They have less surface area than a ball point pen and have a larger flow of ink.
Also with the toilet roll test... the perforated seams were better on the more expensive paper... hence why it gave way at the perforations. To do a more accurate test... do it on a single square with no perforations.
I remember (with horror) using fountain pens at school for 1-2 years back in the 70s. The idea is, that you can vary the line thickness by pushing softer or harder on the pen, creating quite a personal look and potentially very artistic writing (for signatures etc.)
In reality, as I remember it, the darn thing mostly refused to release any ink at all, so you'd push harder until... SPLAT, a sea of ink appears on the paper - and this wasn't even a cheap pen, but a quality one from Parker. I also tried the really antique versions that didn't use a cartridge, instead you'd dip the tip of the pen into an ink bottle, then start writing. This was a really superb way of creating nice oceans of ink, but for writing? Completely hopeless. But my ink lakes did often have a very personal look
So I was extremely impressed by your results!
