That was a very detailed review, thank you! I think you might be the only person on youtube who actually demonstrated that FC Loom as screw-in nib unit just like the rest of them.
Thanks for your kind feedback. Highly appreciated! I think I actually got the info my self from SBRE Brown and his video series "Disassembly Line" - so I would have to forward to credit of (at least my) source to him....thanks anyway!
I just got my new E-motion with F nib in pear wood. I like the craftsmanship. The Fine nib is really fine, much finer line than Medium nib in my Ambition. It is a wet pen from the start, which suits the nib quite well. A lot of feedback though. Parker blue ink fits it good, it provides for more lubrication. The pen sits well in hand, much better than Ambition. The problem that both my F-C pens have in common is a hard start, even if the pen is not used for a few minutes. Other than that all is fine.
Update: solved the hard-start in my E-motion. Pelikan 4001 Royal blue ink solved the issue. Also, I see comments about ruining the threads within the cap. The threads are made of soft plastic and could be forced easily. In my opinion F-C made it deliberately so. It is sufficient to lightly tighten the cap and it stays securely closed, very elegant. Unlike the Pelikan M200 Classic, which unscrews all the time. Do not over-tighten and it should be good for a long time.
AdrianMutu87 to me personally, that would be the Ondoro. Love the design and how it lays in the hand. The Looms is a very simple, but surely great everyday writer. The emotion can be a little bulky (its pretty thick) and the design is kinda peculiar. I still really like it. But had I to pick, it’ll be the Ondoro. A matter of personal preference for sure. In the end, they all have the same nib and will write the same
@@Scrivelynotes I got a scratchy Ondoro EF. Is there a way to tune the nib by seperating it from the feed? Or is it an integrated housing. Also I stained the wood with my ink. Clumsy of me. 🙄😕
@@nitin6616 nib and feed are just friction fit. you can simply pull them out. normally, if a nib is scratchy, the tines are misaligned. To adjust the alignment, from my experience it is better to fix this while keeping the nib in the pen. Problem with aligning the nib when out of the pen is that you need to factor into your alignment that the feed will exert pressure onto the tines once re-inserted. And it is a little hard to foresee just how exactly this plays out. Hence, I personally find it easier to fix this while keeping the nib where it is.
Yes. . very scratchy.. in all angles and even after using micromesh... I did some grinding and converted it into an italic.. better.. but I will try and get a new nib sometime
Hi, very interesting review. I really like the Faber-Castell nibs too; I found that you can buy them at La Couronne du Comte, althought they cost almost the same as a complete Loom :-(
A thoroughly enjoyable presentation. It is a very interesting overall shape, & I was surprised with the size comparison - against the Lamy All Star; whilst not a massive pen (in length), it certainly makes up for it, in girth. I really like that black pear wood finish - it looks refined, & complements the chromed cap, well. I would concur, the nib size looks a little disproportionate - perhaps a number 8 nib might bring more equilibrium. Always a pleasure to watch your reviews, thank you :)
This is the most uncomfortable and grip is slippery and unused pen for me in my collection. It never can be posted . I have changed the nib in to Limosine Ef so it is rather acceptable. This is a personal preference for me and all the pens are like that so you have to choose something by having in your hand and write before you buy it. I completely Agree that this pen need a Size 6 Nib so you can replace with a Jowo or Bock nib.
Buy from a reputable seller? Answer to your question depends very much on the brand. WIth the copies of Lamy etc pens it is very quick and easy. With MB pens, where some people might put in more effort into the quality of the copy, in is more difficult.

What ink did you use?
Between Loom, Ondoro and E-motion, what is your favorite and why? Thank you, love your accent!

@@Scrivelynotes thank you great answer. I will try this and report back! 👍🏽
Do you prefer this or the Diplomat excellence?
Christian personally, the Diplomat

Hi! Thanks a lot! Yea, it's true, the spare nib/sections are quite pricey!
Try sticking the fountain pen cap on the rollerball and vice versa.
Both are sold in the meantime, unfortunately. So I can not try that anymore.
Great review! :)
Thank you very much!

Andrew Tongue thank you very much for your kind comment! This is such a great pen. I sold it some time ago. And still kind of regret this. 😊
Not had any joy with the nib on my Ondoro... Horrible experience ...
Sorry to hear. Maybe there was something wrong with it?
Help ful!

I prefer the bic ball point pen you can buy for 50cents.
How do we recognise a fake or knock off pen ! ? Always a worry ! When buying any international brand .
