The 1.1 Stub nib is much better on the Twisbi 580 as it writes with crisper more italic edges.

mine had the same problems, it railroaded even with the wettest inks and was terrible out of box. I literally took a penknife to the feed and it's amazing now hahhahaha

I have the Korean version and I bought it from ebay. I love the way it writes. It's like unleashing a sword. I had some questions about cleaning and you demonstrated how to take the ink bladder out. That was exactly what I needed. This made me want the Japan version. Thanks for the great review.

I think the hard starts may be due to babys bottom on the nib. Mine drove me crazy, until I said "what the heck", and reground it myself. Now it writes perfectly with no hard starts. The rail-roading may be due to the feed, but I don't think it's designed for such writing. I put a replacement ebonite feed in mine, but I don't know if it made it any better. The hard starts remained until I reground the nib. It's border line impractical with the ebonite feed as it's such a wet writer with it.

You have such beautiful handwriting!

Ya me parecía tan extraño que eso modelo de bolígrafo Cross fuera tan barato, porque está hecho de plástico.

no fountain pen is "for beginners" they all write & work the same ....only difference is some are cheap & others are expensive

Beautiful colors!

I love Violet Racoon. I don't know how I missed this video. It was very helpful. Thank you

Lovely! 👏

Where did you find your Hero 395 it is beautiful

Thank you for this video. I have had a Lamy Al-star for about 6 yrs and all of a sudden it is giving me a fit writing. I have cleaned it numerous times, soaked it overnight, switched inks, nibs. etc to no avail. It writes about a paragraph and then goes dry. Would anyone have any thoughts as to why this might be happening? I thought it was the ink that might be dried out, but if the pen writes a paragraph fine, not sure it is the ink. Thank you!

I’ve never considered a platinum before this video 😅it really is a stunner!

Nice in France is pronounced ‘Nees’

I just got the same exact pen. Wasn’t sure what to expect, maybe thought it would be softer…and maybe it will soften up some more with use, but it seems pretty stiff to me.I like the way it writes, though.

I just use a syringe to fill the converter.

Hi, what nib size is the Falcon? I've never seen this much flex on the Falcon 😮

I love TLP. Where is this Washi tape from please?❤

😇🩷🙏🙌

Nice pen

I'm Japanese. I like pilot pens. English is written in translation. The handling of your pen looked rough. You put too much effort into it. FA Nib is a very delicate part. Maybe it's broken. I think it's good to consult with the pilot's support and send it out for repair. Thank you.

Is the audio sped up?

Please don't shake it. Just let it sone minutes point down. Give sone time for the ink to flow. You probably learned that by now.

Your review is excellent. Well thought out and executed. Thank you.

I came to see color 162 and 224. After watching your video I like all four colors, and 123 as well. Now I am in trouble😳

This is great! I have wondered how I could distinguish the Korean made and the Japanese made pens. 😇🩷🙏🙌

Since I can't afford a Pro Gear I would probably go for the Lecoule instead. Both the Lecoule and the Jinhao is on my wishlist so I might try them some day. As you say it doesn't hurt as much, either financially or emotionally, to loose or break a Jinhao. Very good comparison! 😇🩷🙏🙌

Thank you!!!!! :D

Thanks for your review. I saw many JH82 pen reviews but because they used different inks I didn't know there would be color variations until I got mine. I noticed the black ink I always use (waterman) looks very different on the Pilot VP and on the JH82, even though they're both F and the flows are very similar. The JH82 shows a purple undertone and the Pilot is more saturated and I can't see any purple undertones with it. I did some research but couldn't find an explanation. Perhaps it's the golden coat JH82 used on their nibs causing some sort of reaction with the inks, I don't know. I love how they write (not too smooth, not too sharp), but the variation on my black ink is something I don't like. I like black inks to look black, not greyish purple. I even did the test with a Kaweco and the only one showing the color variation is the JH82, it's intriguing.

I have both an Al Star and a Metropolitan; both in medium nib. I’m personally a huge Pilot fan, but the Al Star is definitely more comfortable for me to write with. Comfort aside, I prefer the Metropolitan in fit and finish, and ink flow. I tried the Al Star in a fine nib, and I did not like how scratchy it was. Pilot fine nibs are definitely better ground than Lamy nibs from my experience. I did buy my Al Star for much less than retail, but value is definitely on the Metropolitan’s side. If I could go back in time, I would probably choose a Pilot Prera as my first good fountain pen instead, because of the more comfortable grip. For reference, I use Lamy turquoise ink in my Al Star.

Tanks for the review. Just ordered the 1.0mm

Are italic and stub nibs the same?

Oooo thanks for this tutorial 😊. I’ve only used the cartridges because I didn’t know how to clean this converter. Feeling confident to use it now! Have you ever filled this converter with a syringe?

This is Boeing 737 among fountains pens- time tested.

great review!

Oh wow, thanks! I didn't know I should squeeze and release it a couple times, I thought there's something wrong with my pen cuz it ran out of ink really fast lmao.

My first fountain pen is Jinhao 82. I have had the privilege of using numerous pens since then, but this particular pen always manages to surprise me. The nib is simply exquisite, especially considering its price point. However, I do wish that it had a non-screw cap, as it would then be perfect.

can you write a review with standard blue ink like waterman serenity blue or any standard blue you have

Thanks

I bought my first jinhao after I watched this video accidentally, then I bought more after I tried my first Jinhao. so, if you want to stick on or loyal to the brand, do not try. or do not watch it.

thank you ....a soak in ammonia and dawn soap can disolve some of the ink ... with feed tube ... the closer you can get to a tighter fit for the "plunger" the less stress on the works

I have planner acquaintances that have take a note planners, they like how it works for them, they also added stickers in the daily pages to make it more fun

👌👌👌😍
