Filling up - Kaweco Piston Sport

[@Oldnose63]

Thanks for introducing the Kaweco piston filler to me. Now we can finally stop using cartridges in a Sport. And inky fingers are a trademark of most fountain pen users. Same here.

[@OdE-ObjectosdeEscrita]

Thank you for watching. Yes, we can stop using cartridges. Although I prefer cartridges, I confess. I re-use them by filling with a syringe.

[@Lucan1n1]

Thanks 🙏 Now I'm eagerly waiting for the full review🤗 with the broad nib 🌺

[@OdE-ObjectosdeEscrita]

That is something I still need to decide: if the review is with the F or the BB. You would prefer BB?

[@Lucan1n1]

@@OdE-ObjectosdeEscrita Actually both of them in the same video, one after the other 🤩 It shouldn’t take more than 15 minutes if you just swap the nib sections🌸

Re filling mess on hands. I haven’t filled a piston pen but I have converters in my pens and I finally learned to wear gloves. I buy “nitrile exam gloves” at my local hardware store … big box. I wear a pair for any messy chore. 😊

[@OdE-ObjectosdeEscrita]

I don't like inky fingers but I don't like gloves too... I think gloves are the way to go if one doesn't like ink on the hands.

Thank you for sharing this, much appreciated.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@OdE-ObjectosdeEscrita]

Thank you for watching. Glad you enjoyed.

[@wernervdwesthuizen]

It really is quite beautiful.

[@OdE-ObjectosdeEscrita]

It really is!

[@willemgroenewegen5934]

Thanks for the continuing coverage of the Piston Filler. I'm just wondering: what brand/type is that lovely little notebook? It has the shape of an old bank chequebook.

[@OdE-ObjectosdeEscrita]

Thank you for watching. It is a Rhodia Bloc nº 8.

[@dariuszjablonski1969]

Thank you for this video, very satisfying.

[@OdE-ObjectosdeEscrita]

Thank you for watching!

[@ForTheLoveOfPens]

Curious how difficult it is to disassemble?

[@OdE-ObjectosdeEscrita]

They say it is not be disassembled by the user.

[@ForTheLoveOfPens]

@@OdE-ObjectosdeEscrita thanks for the info, that’s disappointing

[@paulll47]

Thank you for the video, I was going to buy it but if the capacity is the same, I'm going to skip it and just get a Kaweco in aluminum, I'm not going to fork 155 euros for a standard kaweco with a pretty handle.

[@OdE-ObjectosdeEscrita]

(sorry for the late reply!) I understand. I don't think Kaweco made this for the increased ink capacity, but for the filling experienced that users asked for for a long time.

[@markferguson3365]

It may be the same capacity as a cartridge, but its more than the small converter for the sport. Also cartridges are more expensive to use, new cartridges, than bottle inks.

[@OdE-ObjectosdeEscrita]

(sorry for the late reply!) Sure, the small converters don't take up much ink. And cartridges are more expensive. But I often refill empty cartriges with a syringe from a bottle.

[@sofiamelo8980]

Love the tin! 🎉

[@OdE-ObjectosdeEscrita]

It looks like a little tin of cookies! 😁

[@onemorepen]

Cannot wait to get one.

[@OdE-ObjectosdeEscrita]

It is great, in my opinion.

[@eosvid]

Thank you for a preview of the awaited piston filler 😃👍💕 I was wondering if the nib and feed are friction fit; Kaweco site also indicates a need nib 190 highlighting different nib housing for this pen, but curious if existing 060 premium or 14k nibs can be replaced by friction fitting 😊

[@OdE-ObjectosdeEscrita]

The feed housing is different and the feed also. The nib is the same. So you can push a 060 premium nib into this unit, pairing it with the the new feed.

[@eosvid]

@@OdE-ObjectosdeEscrita thank you so much for your awesome preview video and reply on the nib! 😃😊🙏👍❤️💕 clears up a lot as I wait for one of these! 😃 yes, a piston Sport is long awaited indeed;

[@dariuszjablonski1969]

I'm curious about the impressions from writing experience comparing to other AL models (weight, balance). Thanks again :)

[@OdE-ObjectosdeEscrita]

I like it a lot. But maybe I should do some "Versus" videos comparing with other Sport variations?

[@EnCwoisant]

Did you measure the ink capacity yourself? To only have 1 cartridge of ink capacity is disappointing. I have heard that it is more than a cartridge (which is about 0.7ml)

[@OdE-ObjectosdeEscrita]

No. I don't have a proper laboratory scale to do it with such precision. It is the information on the paper sleeve, over the tin... It is like the cartridge, but with a different filling experience (from the bottle).

[@EnCwoisant]

@@OdE-ObjectosdeEscrita can you weigh the pen empty and full with a mg scale? The difference in grams is the number of ml since 1 gram water = 1 ml

[@十十十-s1y]

Thanks for the filling demonstration, looking forward to the full review. The fact it only holds capacity equivalent to an ink cartridge terrifies me.

[@OdE-ObjectosdeEscrita]

The review is done, now! A cartridge is, for me, enough ink for a while. But yes, I think most people expecte a larger ink capacity. But how to do it in such a small barrel? Maybe, for the people who need more ink capacity maybe a plastic Sport using it as an eyedropper pen?

[@katydcat1737]

Looks beautiful, but I prefer the convenience of cartridges to avoid the messy job. Clean cut operation with cartridges!

[@十十十-s1y]

@@OdE-ObjectosdeEscrita Yes, Sport is a tiny pen for piston-filler and the mechanism is quite burdensome, yet it is still using inner width of the barrel. So it could be seen as a really short eyedropper when not considering the piston (in which I expect a little bit more than current specs)... And I think the old piston sport has slightly higher capacity than this modern counterpart? Now think about it, I kinda wish they will make actual eyedropper sport out of this design: O-ringed screw-in nib unit, sealed body with ink window, and hidden rear knob for operating ink stopper.

[@十十十-s1y]

@@katydcat1737 the messy part is probably its very charm.

[@marilyngardner4269]

I wear my inky fingers with pride!

Me too!

[@OdE-ObjectosdeEscrita]

I love fountain pens, but I really hate to have inky fingers. Sometimes it happens and it is ok. But that is one of the reasons I prefer cartridge pens. Much cleaner to use.

[@danielfonseca7356]

Do you by any chance know a nib meister in Portugal?

[@OdE-ObjectosdeEscrita]

No! Unfortunately no! 😐

[@karenholden4740]

Take pride in inky fingers!!

[@OdE-ObjectosdeEscrita]

I understand that but... I just can't! I like to keep my fingers clean. 🙃

[@OdE-ObjectosdeEscrita]

How useful do you think your comment is?

[@McAmeron089III]

Cool Kaweco Piston-Sport! I hope you enjoy the nib as much as I do. No baby's bottom on the one I have. I always enjoy the Kaweco nibs of which I've tried trhe ,, Premium,and . Just received a 1.5mm stub Kaweco nib;have yet to try it.

[@StefanEdek]

EF nibs are also excellent.

[@OdE-ObjectosdeEscrita]

I agree. I never had real trouble with Kaweco nibs. I had once Perkeo M that was a little too feedbacky and an EF that was too dry. But considering the amount of Kaweco nibs I used, it is not a bad success rate at all.

[@OdE-ObjectosdeEscrita]

They are a little dry for my preference.
