The opinions are my own, based on my own experiences with the product. Not to be used for reference or as gospel.
This is a glorious pen. I have used mine for a while. I have added a Bock Titanium nib to compliment the rest of the pen. This is not to say I do not enjoy the Asvine nib. It was more for aesthetics.
It is certainly one of the best pens released this year.
This pen continues the excellent line of pens made by this company.
Great review, Mick.
I agree with you, the V200 is a beautifully designed and executed pen. And the price is very reasonable. Ive recently acquired both the v126 and v200, my first foray into vacuum fillers, not counting a flirtation with the execrable but very, very cheap and nasty wing sung 013, a couple of which are now chuffing along quite nicely as Frankenpens, one with a #8 M jinhao nib stuffed as far down its gullet as it will go and one with a #6 grind job. The vac part of those stinkers actually works very well.
The two o-rings on the end are very reminiscent of my TWSBI CLASSIC
Beautiful pen!
Just got a V200 from Amazon today, in an Asvine Medium nib. Haven't tried it yet, but will likely be my next to ink up. Also have another one coming in on Friday in a Bock Bold nib.
Thanks!
It is a beautiful pen thanks for the review
Great price! I checked out the link in your description. They also have a vacuum filler
This is a vacuum filler.
Hey Mick, it's a great pen, that's it I'm now getting one thanks to the power of positive 'peer pressure' haha. Anyways, remember if you come to Newcastle let me know, I would be more than happy to have a coffee in town and chat pens. ps, great to see you still making videos and engaging while on the road.
Chels c:
I got one of these with a Bock medium nib. I would buy one of these over my twsbi 700s AND it costs less. I will get the Asvine nib next time after seeing your review.
PS R&K Cassia. Good choice.
Love my Cassia ink as well! Interestingly, yours looks a tad more blue on camera than mine.
@@Scorpiotide the camera does pick it up a touch bluer. Purples confuse the camera. Haha. poor camera
Same nib as Nahvular (was called Narwhal until there was a copyright issue with the name). The nibs feel on the dry side to me. I prefer jowo nibs. I haven't tried a Boch nib.
BTW the piston etc is supposed to be the same as used by TWSBI (different nib though).
This is a great review! I've been eyeing this one for a bit, and it sits in my Amazon shopping list. I like the Amazon Basics Asvine Forest pen (which got me into the hobby) so I'm interested in this one. I do wonder how it would work with shimmer- do you have any experience with that? Writing wet and keeping up well seems promising. Thanks for the review.
Personally I avoid using shimmer inks in Vac filling pens. Vac fillers are notoriously difficult to fulling clean with regular inks and you really don’t want to leave shimmer inks in any pen for too long. I also wonder (and I have no basis for this other than my own wondering) if the minor abrasive qualities of the shimmer particles would interfere with the stopper over time. I keep shimmer inks for standard cartridge converter pens that are easy to clean, or pens like the Twsbi ECO which are really easy to fuller disassemble for cleaning.
@@theoffstageme Yeah, that makes sense. I have stayed away from it in my vac filler so far. Thanks for the input.
Writes nicer than a Conid that I once tried at the London Pen show
Thanks for posting the video. I have the V200 and the V126, slightly preferring the latter as it is lighter in the hand and definitely postable. It might be interesting to do a comparison between the two models. Personally, I tend to prefer the TWSBI Ecos as they are much lighter and more colourful, as well as having outstanding nibs.
V126 is one of my favourite pens currently
Your links are for a P36.
Argh sorry. I will fix it tonight
@@theoffstageme glad you check your comments.
Of my many pens, 2 have cracked from stress.
The jinhao 82 and asvine v126. Both at their top finals and at their cap too. Which I suspect is due to over tightening of their screws.
I live in a humid environment, that may be a factor of consideration as the capillary action of moisture could potentially expand inside the threads of those pens.
Thankfully I could source a replacement cap for v126. The jinhao 82, not so much.
With the Jinhao 82, most replacement caps for other pens would be many times more expensive than the 82 itself. That pen is way too small for me but the Jinhao 80 is a reliable workhorse that I have several of. The Asvine V200 with the Asvine nib is actually my first pen from Asvine. It is a wonderful pen. Thank you for the review!
I think of the jinhao 82 as a very useful pocket pen. It's very comfortable posted, as are most pocket pens.
Like a TWSBI!
its not a Conid but for the price and quality this I a fantastic pen!!!
Too bad it doesn't post properly.
