I have the new Dolce Vita Original with steel nib. I also have a pre closing Dolce Vita mid size with a gold nib… same as the re release. The quality of the new pen is as good or better. Made with the same specs as far as i can tell. The casting on the silver cap band is identical. Thanks for the review.
I have an original Dolce Vita from about 2015... And honestly the quality of the nib is pretty horrible. No matter what I do to that nib I can't get it to write reliably. So I've been thinking about the new ones with the steel nibs. It's good to know that they have equal build quality. It's still one of the best pens ever made in my opinion. I just wish that they would start releasing them with the #8 nibs.
Man, I'm glad I got the green/black one. It's so much more interesting imo. Nice smooth jowo and has nice smooth ink flow . Not overly wet for a broad, it's just right.
Top-notch sheets are a necessity when wet broads are involved. I am of course, referring to pens and paper. In all seriousness, though, almost all of my fountain pens have broad nibs and are tuned to be wet writers. My idea of a medium is using a Japanese instead of European pen. I particularly enjoy feeling the different characteristics of inks; how they effect paper feedback through the nib, coefficient of friction, etc. As much as fountain pens are a focus, they are really just vehicles into the landscape of paper and ink. I absolutely adore infinite regalia paper, the fine gesso-like finish is magnificent. It does magical things for ink. Love your channel man.
Nice review Doodlebud. I am going to order one now. In b/w was lucky to get my hands on the latest Delta DV 2 Premiere. Fantastic pen with right girth and weight. More than that I am happy theybhave continued with the same orange and black colour. That combination has become synonymous with Delta.I hope Delta continues the good work. For whatever it's worth, the guys there have a legacy to look upto.
The quick aside about the different papers is so interesting. It's also such a complicated topic to try to address. I have been trying to keep a bit of a catalogue in my head of how my different pens, inks and papers work together. It's hard enough to keep that information straight with only the stuff I have here at home! I can't imagine trying to do a comprehensive review of these kinds of combinations that are relevant to many more people... But it's so fascinating, because though I find I have the same experience with Rhodia that you show here with the RB Whiskey ink, I find that certain inks actually have sharper edges on my Rhodia paper! For all its complexities, it is satisfying though when you find just the right combination and you know you can go back to it whenever you feel like it and get a great experience and a great result from a paper/nib/ink combo!
I have a Delta from the 90s with I really nice soft nib. It's one of my favorite nibs. I also have a Delta sterling Silver pen from the 00s. The nib is more "normal", but great. Both are gold nibs.
I was fleetingly excited about Delta’s comeback. But whatever enthusiasm I felt quickly evaporated when I learned the pens would come fitted with Jowo nibs. What an instant kill-joy! This new model looks nice and appealing enough. But I’m sure I’m not buying any new Delta pen because I’m not the slightest interested in Jowo nibs anymore. I know I still prefer the look, design, aesthetics of my older Delta pens. And they are fitted with Bock nibs which I’ve always preferred to Jowo. How I wish Delta could conjure a way of making their own nibs today.
@@kevinlandon7578 ..So cool to hear this. I pray it really happens. Delta with its own steel and gold nibs, would make me look again and very likely buy any one or more of their new pens. And oh, thanks a lot for the helpful info!
@@kevinlandon7578 ..Praying it comes true. I’m betting a made-in-house Delta nib would be streets better than a damn, generic Jowo steel nib with merely a Delta stamping and logo on it. So, here’s hoping. Cheers for the good tidings! 🙂
@@sajjadhusain4146 , we will wait and see what happens. Sometimes, it all depends on the company that uses the Jowo nibs and how they finish them such as Diplomat which does an excellent job with their Jowo nibs.
Appreciate all your efforts on these videos! You're one of my top channels as I get more addicted to this hobby and community. Going to Rome in a couple weeks and already have a visit to Stiloe & Stile planned (before the Vatican :)). I'm liking the idea of buying a pen at each country I visit. So this helps in my research what Italian pen should I should get. Was stuck on the Leonardo Momento, but now expanding my options. Delta DV in that classic orange black! Oh man. Going back to Stiloe & Stile website right after I finish your video. Dig Ya'.
Because of your engineering background, I think laser engravers would actually work on your channel. Periodically, of course. But would be neat to see you playing with some cheap Jinhao's or something along those lines. And a giveaway would be cool too! THANK YOU for this review! I've been very curious just like you regarding Delta. I'll be adding one to my collection. Also, thanks for seeing up the Pen Chalet discount code! I truly appreciate when you're able to get those deals for your viewers! Keep up the amazing content, i think i can speak for many and say we ALL really appreciate all the you provide to us!
Super cool they setup a code for everyone. That's really great. Had no idea I'd be able to hook up folks with discount codes for pen retailers and save a few bucks when I randomly decided to do a RUclips vid about fountain pens.
@@Doodlebud I really hope you start getting commissions, no matter how small. You inform so many people, it only seems right the various companies would give you a kickback for the pens you're responsible for selling! Regardless, thanks again for the amazing content! AND, is super cool to get a direct response from you!
I like the look of this. I'ts not my personal preference in styling, but it feels like this is going to be a sought-after vintage pen in a couple of decades. Especially with that color. I wouldn't mind another laser engraver review and possibly a giveaway. That just ties into more of the engineering/manufacturing breakdown that makes your channel unique. It also helps because that's one of the things I'm looking at adding to my current machine list. I type this as I'm printing pens in the other room 😆.
beautiful pen. The ink is gorgeous. As for the give away-- if you keep the criteria for entry the same, you may see fewer comments since some won't want it and don't want to risk winning the item... I'm not sure how you would deal with that seeing how comments help the algorithm.
I'd watch your laser engraving reviews anyway, I like your engineers eye on things. But if you can get a giveaway I'll just call dibs now. That's legally binding, sorry everyone else.
A Lazer engraver give away would be a good way to help show a company's product, makes so you don't need to find a use or storage space for it, and someone would get a free engraver. If the manufacturer is willing, I think you should go for it.
There were 3 co-founders of Delta: After the ceased production in 2015ish, Marino went on to create Maiora, and bought Nettuno; Matrone's son create Leonardo. As far as I know there are 2 more pens out of the Naples region; Goia, and the fantastic Marlen pens. I would be more excited if Delta went back to Bock rather than Jowo. I am sure that in time, once they have re-established themselves, Delta will either go back to Bock or create their own nibs. Also not so enamored by the laser engraving on the nibs, as opposed to stamping. These are the little finishing things that I appreciate. Delta had one of THE best finishing and the cap band was so intricate. It'll be interesting to see what Maiora does now. Will they be the lower end brand, or will they compete against Delta? I'm just glad I have a couple of those older Deltas. EDIT: Yeah that engraving on the cap - not a fan. If this is what revivals are going to be, all I can do is shake my head.
@@Doodlebud The 39+1? Yeah, it better be for that price. But therein lies the problem. I don't believe the old Delta distinguished their finishing on the more expensive models. The older cheaper Deltas had a steel nib, less intricate work, but finished the product well. If you want to create a cheaper pen, don't skimp out on that kind of stuff, or just don't engrave the barrel. Do it right, or don't do it. It's really tarnishing the image of what people knew of the old Delta.
I don't think you have to go all out on the 39 +1 to get the higher finishing. Even the new docle vita steel nib looks good. Of course the gold nibbed one looks even better, the steel nibed one looks pretty good. I'm curious to get my hands on one
@@Doodlebud The 39+1 is the only new Delta with a gold nib I've seen seen thus far. Maybe there are others released. I did not know they released a new DV. I got to take a peek. Same specs as the old DV?? It was all about that orange and the grip section - wonder if they made any changes to that, and the cap band.
A giveaway is a great idea! I personally really like the laser content and giving away the reviewed unit, could remove viewer assumption of bias. I think everyone wins in that scenario, and I would personally love to win that giveaway!
I think a laser engraver giveaway would be cool! Might wanna stay away from having it be comments based - the bots are absolutely wild. Having a link to a Google form or something similar would help prevent people from falling for a bot response telling them they won.
Ooh that whiskey ink is pretty! but yeah I really dislike rhodia but don't know any alternatives that are cheap i should try regalia but i had horrible experience with their company the mass thing is really cool tho, reminds me of some gaming mice i've seen
OK, it's a nice resin, but if I wanted a Bock or Jowo nib pen, there are so many other options to look at. Do I care for the Delta name ? Not really ... Leonardo offers pens with Bock and Jowo nibs at a lower price ... (and I think the same quality resin).
I'll agree to an extent. Jowo nibs write the same no matter what pen they are on. Bocks don't. For some reason they write differently from each pen they are on. This version of Delta is not using Bock though, like they used to previously. As to comparing it to Leonardo, they are out of the same pen lineage.
@@ironmic9244 Customized Jowo nibs are excellent (TWSBI/Faber Castell), simple Jowo nibs are average. Simple Bocks (Namisu) are above average. Well, all that, according to my taste.
I think the pens that cost a bit more are bringing some more detail & refinement to the table. I'd love to see one get more info. From the pictures so far I see what I like.
Thanks for the review. Not a pen I would buy...to me it looks cheap. It's not the shape - I like that - but the overall finish, appointments and nib are a disappointment. I realize this is a moderately priced pen, but shape alone is not going to persuade me to like it. There are quite a few good custom pen makers for acrylic pens here in the U.S., and they can offer a better looking pen in the same or slightly higher price range. Each to his own taste as the French say, but it's not to mine.
As a relatively new vintage pen collector, I would greatly appreciate a video on dating vintage pens, couldn’t find one on you tube. Perhaps it could be a series by manufacturer. Thanks
There are several sites about that, sometimes brand specific & books as well. I wouldn't really be able to do a video series on that since I don't have many vintage pens. Grand Mia pens has a great channel where he restores vintage pens
Dear Mr. Doodlebud if you can make some monny on making a video or 3 about lazer ingreavers go fore it as long you come back to pens make the $$$ were you can. Btw. Request can you help with some restoration problems i have cracks... 😂 You might know how to fix cracks and scratches in the difent materials... mainly what is harden rubber and how to fix it ebonite and celloide and so on. Sorry fore the bad spelling.. Thank you fore your great videos
Thanks for a great video. Really beautiful pen, only Delta should have included a piston filler unit instead of a converter and the weight in the barrel end. I'd even pay 150 extra for that detail. 😊
9:00 re laser engraving: I'd liken my interest to 3d printing. I'm interested in the subject but it's not something I can see myself doing. Go ahead, it's your channel. You know what you're talking about and that's worth another video. For instance, whether that misalignment happens with a different unit.
I'd be game for a giveaway (even though I never win anything) You are right though about not reviewing too many of them. The algorithm would not approve.
It's not so much about the algorithm which I can't control. Only thing I can control is my content. So if folks really wouldn't be into it I'd also feel bad for the retailer. Sending me a laser system for giveaway is a huge offer. I'd at want them to get some exposure for doing something like that.
No downside to the screw in converter. If you strip it out then you are left with a standard international that's friction fit. There's literally no downside.
It’s a minor issue in the grand scheme of things, but a screw-in converter makes using converters with adapter housings for things like Pilot nibs very difficult if not impossible without significant modification. Again, a niche use case, but I find myself in this exact position now and wanted to share!
The friction fit will be a tad loose if you sub in a regular international converter. Some of the international ones also have a metal band around the bottom so sometimes won't fit depending upon the height of the threaded part that takes the screw in converter. So if the threads do strip out there are specific international converters you have to use. This pen has a full resin section so shouldn't wear out the threads on the converter.
They're the same. Some parts have more or less of the white swirl with the red so can give the appearance of a different color. It's just the natural ebb & flow of the resin mixture
I'm sure this is an ironic thought... But... As much as I love the pretty little manuals that come with done fancy pens I wish pen makers would make in depth with multiple specific graphics manuals for each pen in the form of a HTML it PDF so they could produce each one language specific without massive cost for printing them all out as books 🤷

Doesn’t look like the cap is the same color as the body.

They're the same. Some parts have more or less of the white swirl with the red so can give the appearance of a different color. It's just the natural ebb & flow of the resin mixture
