It's good to see you're trying to get this channel active after two years of silence. Best wishes from a customer in Vermont 🍁🧡🍁

On my "to get" list after the holidays.

this is magnificient!

It's truly beautiful.

Great video! I do not own a Vanishing Point (yet), but when I first fell down the fountain pen rabbit hole I saw this trick and have been using it ever since. It’s the only way I fill and clean the converters/cartridges. Thank you for the tutorial.

I've never seen a run on fountain pens before. These are sold out at many places. I saw you still had them though, as of a couple days ago anyway when I ordered a set from you. I haven't checked since.

There are no takers of lamy 2000 after jinhao 80 was launched. I am enjoying jinhao 80 completely.

Lovely Pen… I already own Lamy 2000 Grey Pen the Iconic ! Pine shade is beautiful as well! I am proud owner of Lamy 2000!

Those namikis are mad gorgeous

Im poor and am too young to travel there but if i could i would bc pens r kool

Perhaps have an option for a wine free version of the tour? I don't drink so the wine tastings would be wasted on me. :0)

Intriguing, but not for me because I don’t drink wine and strive to maintain a vegan diet, so I would miss out on one the main attractions of a tour.. The pen related stuff sounds nice though. Hope you get enough people together to make the trip a reality

There are very few pens worth this price level. This is one of them.

Wonderful selection

I looks like perhaps a diamondcast resin. But that color combination is not for me.

Lovely pens

My mim is a huge fan of these pan’s 😊😅

those are all gorgeous. im a hong konger and was so surprised to hear hk, all beautiful pens

And the writing? A fountain pen Review without writing? Ahhh ok

Speaking of bad grammar, someone needs to make the decision makers at Sailor write out King of Pens (plural) a few thousand times...

I have had violet flavoured candy, but never mango lol.

Recently got one. Very nice replacement for the no longer available Rotring 600 fountain pen.

Paradise is the wod! Maybe we can even get Steve Martin to sing to King Tut for the holidays!

Promo SM

That's. The. Paradise.

That’s hysterical!

i love ur handwriting! looks so nice!

Having a "crippling vintage pen addiction," I feel ya! 😂

So sorry for that 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢❤❤❤😊😊

Forst comment i love your content

Ah I love myself some truffy

Lovely pen. Should I ask the price or is it, "If you need to know, you cannot afford it?"

I pronounce it "All-Star" just like the sports games. "A - ell star" seems cumbersome to me.

Nice selection of pens, but I'd really like to see the whole floor plan.

I have been using that technique for awhile

I'm enjoying these videos very much Luoishi Labyrinth sold out dang it :-) Will Truphae be restocking? Also, I must say, good on y'all for making this very real video. Reflects well on Truphae. I knew there was a reason for my being a customer!

Just fill the cartridge… it’s easier, and besides: those little metal balls swirling around the converter annoy me. They sound too loud! Could’ve been plastic balls, would do the same job. I just use syringe- it is way cleaner. I can empty, clean, dry and refill a fountain pen using my syringes and not a single ink stain on my hands. ;-)

Your weight measurements are totally off.

are you sure about the 500 sheets weighing 20 pounds? one ream is 500 sheets. 10 reams in an average box of average 20-pound copy paper do not weigh 200 pounds.

I see the $25 option but not a $30 option. I’ve also seen KZbin reviewers mention 3 mos subscriptions…was the $30 option discontinued?

What is the size type of syringe you use there are so many on the market not sure which one to get.

I don't see the ink, and THAT is killin' me

I have one from the 70's that I have inherited from my father. Can you tell if a Kaweco Sport converter can be used with a Montblanc Noblesse ? Thank you so much.

The last pen you shared was “this one” but you didn’t share the name of the piston filler. Please share.

You’re dismissed, have a great day 😂😂 I refill cartridges for mine. Lasts about a month for me with light daily usage.

My favourite is the Lamy 2000 EF

I cannot believe you did not mention the huge environmental disadvantage of the plastic cartridges that probably end up in some landfill.

It sounds horrible that "ME and my friend" ... yeek ... so .. my friend and I .. sounds so much better ...

I generally don't like metal pens, so I never considered this. But you have surely tempted me with this great presentation of the pen.

If you are going to use a syringe, why not just refill a cartridge? The cartridge holds more ink. In fact I think the pilot cartridge is one of the best in the market for refilling due to its wide opening. I don't use a syringe, I just carry ink in a 10ml plastic bottle with an integrated eyedropper. To top up ink, I just pull out the cartridge, stick the eyedropper head into the cartridge opening, carefully squeeze a few drops of ink into the cartridge, and put the cartridge back into the nib unit. No extra tools, no mess, and the bottle is small enough to always go with me on trips. If you are going to use the con-40 converter, you can still fill it to full. You have to understand why it appears that you can never get over 2/3 full following the instructions: this is because as long as the nib unit is empty of ink, there is air in the feed, and when you draw ink this air gets sucked into the converter. Because the converter has tiny capacity, this air takes up a significant portion of the volume. It does not help that the breather hole is located very high on the nib unit, and if you fail to fully submerge it, a lot of air is going to be drawn into the unit in the process, making the problem worse. And because air floats, once inside it does not come out as long as you have the nib pointed downwards. You can repeatedly move the plunger up and down, but in the best scenario you are still going to have the air volume the same size as the feed capacity trapped in the system --- I.e. 1/3 to 1/4 of the converter volume. Once you understood the cause, solution is easy: you need to get the trapped air out, you do this by pointing the nib unit up, and slowly turn the converter nob to squeeze every bit of air out. You need to do it slowly and ideally tab the unit regularly to make sure ink goes down and air goes up. Once no more air bubbles come out and you see ink coming out of the breather tube, re-point the nib unit downward into the ink bottle, making sure the breather hole at the base of the nib is completely submerged in ink, and draw more ink into the converter. This time you will get a full fill. My advice, do the first method with an eyedropper bottle (super convenient for travel). It takes much less time to fill and creates much less mess. To me, the main issue with filling using a converter for the pilot capless/vanishing point isn't actually the con-40 converter, but the location of the breather hole on the nib unit, it is way too far at the back, it requires the bottle to be quite full, or it is just going to draw air.
