Outstanding on the design and material and colour......tq for showing ✍️💯💚

[@fountainpentherapy]

Most welcome 😊

[@manonbelyea5931]

Buongiorno Vincenzo! I appreciate your reviews. My favorite at the moment is the Jinhao x750. Liked it so much, I ordered 3 more from Ali. Bought some nibs from Goulet and it's a great looking, writing pen. These Chinese pen purchases won't stop me from buying my higher end pens (my highest end at the moment is a Sailor 1911S). I don't want to go much over that. Just bought a Brass Kaweco Supra that's been on my list, and still have Diplomat, Edison and Esterbrooke on my wish list. That's the fun of the fountain pen hobby, a lot of choices for a variety of budgets. Oh, and I love your intros. I always feel like I'm at the movies and I want to settle in with some popcorn. Thanks for all that you do.

[@fountainpentherapy]

It is my absolute pleasure. Enjoy your pens. The choices you are making sound like my journey early on, with the very same brands you mentioned.

[@tuckerb.7504]

Vincenzo, I've been enjoying your Fountain Pen Therapy videos so much ! You have such a great way about you and being a relative newby to this community I appreciate the opinions of someone like your self which I believe is well rounded. That having been said, I took your advice after watching your review on the Lemon M5 and I can't thank you enough. TBH it was more than I usually spend on a pen (I'm a Jinhao guy) so this was a big step for me money wise. I can't stop writing with this pen. It is everything you said it was and then some. I even got the long blade nib and that was such a great choice. So beautiful and comfortable in the hand. Please keep doing what you are doing Vincenzo!!! This guy from Boston is truly appreciative!! Peace !

[@fountainpentherapy]

You are so welcome

[@MikeBear1000]

Thanks for the great review! Beautiful pen, nice price.

[@fountainpentherapy]

Thanks for watching!

[@mightbegenius]

Amazing intro. Well done!

[@fountainpentherapy]

[@kshitijoberoi1928]

What a phenomenal introduction it is........ amazing..!

[@fountainpentherapy]

Grazie!

[@elborracho81]

The panda characters on the center band are super cute! Thanks for bringing us this review! 🐼🐼

[@fountainpentherapy]

LOL

[@faniro4792]

Thanks for the great video without which I wouldn't know such a wonderful pen existed!

[@fountainpentherapy]

My pleasure 😊

[@AlejandroPato-Fuego]

Loved the comment about the expensive kaweco piston pen. I am glad it’s expensive then I am not tempted to buy. When I hit the big time like hj then I cannot say such things when the pen is given for free but for now that is not a problem so I am not beholden to the man. One day you too will be enjoying free pens and have to watch what you say. but as they say in America there is no free lunch. I wonder how many such sayings we USA and ca share. Maybe there is no free lunch in Canada too.

[@fountainpentherapy]

Oh no there is no free lunch here either, trust me!

[@kimduhaime502]

I've been on the fence about this pen, so this has been really helpful! A few months ago, I saw this pen on Ali Express with the 14K/18K nibs offered in a fine and a medium - the prices for these were above $200, whereas the other nibs offered were under $100. I don't know if they were truly gold, but they gold nib versions no longer seem to be available. Maybe the seller has simply not changed the listing title.

[@fountainpentherapy]

Be careful with the so-called gold nibs.

[@jochanwong]

I also have the same ink bottle from Moonman/Majohn. It's called Moonlight. Agree it's beautiful, interesting and well saturated.

[@fountainpentherapy]

Thank you for the info. Its a very nice everyday ink

[@Scouzeboy]

Greetings from Australia. Brilliant video production. I'll put this on my list.

[@fountainpentherapy]

Thanks for sharing

[@EnzoCiccia-jn4uy]

Bella review Vincenzo!

[@fountainpentherapy]

Grazie

[@rozl6178]

Thanks for this review, it’s an interesting pen!

[@fountainpentherapy]

My pleasure!

[@fountainpenworld]

Just received this lemon M5 Panda and... YES, your praising was fully justified. The Lemon steel F nib is a sensation. I didn't expect this fantastic writing experience and the extremely well processed materials. You recently reviewed the Lotus Wave, which is now priced at USD 202, up from USD 180. Would you say that there are quality differences between the Lotus and the Lemon justifying a USD 202 price tag for the Lotus FP? I'm really curious about your opinion.

[@fountainpentherapy]

The Lotus pen is handcrafted with very different materials (ebonite). But some of these Chinese pens have unbelievable prices, hard to compete against.

[@manonbelyea5931]

And I forgot to mention, I ordered a Ranga pen after seeing one your reviews. I'm looking forward to receiving it. The 9B in ebonite.

[@fountainpentherapy]

I love that big model.

[@PatriotsComing]

What a gaudy design.

[@pauldavidartistclub6723]

I have to agree

[@fountainpentherapy]

I have to respectfully disagree. But beauty is in the eye of the beholder. We all have our unique tastes. That is why this hobby is great. There is something for all of us.

[@ronsteed]

I understand about not knowing if it was fully filled. You can determine the amount of ink simply by using a scale and measuring the mass dry vs after ink is filled. One gram equals 1 ml for most inks. Not my taste for pens but great review. Be well and be safe!

[@fountainpentherapy]

Thanks for sharing

[@craft-o-matic399]

❤ Lol! I never say the preserves are spoiled until I have taken the lid from the jar. Lisa

[@fountainpentherapy]

Indeed!

[@kattz753]

That's OK. We'll leave the dismantling to Doug and Chrisrap. Some AliExpress sellers are installing Lemon Long Knife nibs on other brands that don't have that nib option. They must be good nibs.

[@fountainpentherapy]

They have the architect grind and many like them.

[@JohnPapatsos]

I am glad I got a lemon!

[@fountainpentherapy]

LOL

[@thorhilda]

I've tried to post comments several times and for some unknown reasons, maybe because they contain references to brands and vendors, they are censured/erased by Y. So, let me try this way: Fuli 017 and MoonA1 have released new colours and there is a new model coming in a few days with a number eight nib that will please mitho of maiora, delta dv and hemingway from the white mountain.

[@fountainpentherapy]

What are you referring to with the no 8 nib is it the Ti22

[@thorhilda]

@@fountainpentherapy I never heard of the Ti22. No, the #8 pen apparently is called the P139 or the 139, depending on the source. There are two photos on the Fountain Pen Network and on Reddit. I can't post them otherwise my post gets deleted by Y.

[@fountainpentherapy]

Sorry I misread your email. Yes I already ordered the P139

[@janiekcarney5482]

Patterns can trap the oil of the hands and therefore dirt.

[@fountainpentherapy]

I can see that. Will have to be careful

[@yuklimka7251]

I just got my Delike Alpha Brass with an EF nib plus a second nib. I wanted a knock about pocket pen that can accommodate a full-sized converter and a clip pre-installed. Kaweco is known for its iffy QC and stirring the pot over the faceted cap as well as buying the name Moonman. thus forcing the name change to Majohn. I don't support that kind of company. For 15 USD I got a decent pocket pen that I inked up with J. Herbin, Lie de The. that now lives in my backpack.

[@fountainpentherapy]

Thanks for sharing

[@robinpennell1594]

I ordered this before I watched this video. Hope I like it!

[@fountainpentherapy]

I sure did.

[@teresaharris-travelbybooks5564]

That's an interesting looking pen. It's amazingly similar to the Montblanc, which is not a problem for me. I like the contrasting white and black. Great review, Vincenzo.

[@fountainpentherapy]

Thanks you. To me its identical.

[@vicentegregorio6476]

Where do you buy your pen trays? Thanks

[@fountainpentherapy]

Which ones? I have several. Some are part of pen boxes purchased on amazon.

[@vicentegregorio6476]

The wood trays for 6 pens. Thanks.

[@fountainpentherapy]

Bought them on Etsy.

[@kolalde]

3 turns or 2 turns?

[@fountainpentherapy]

I think I said 2 but indeed it is 3. You cant get away with anything with my viewers. I love you all. LOL

[@Scout5150]

I bought that exact pen not realizing it is a knock off. Oops. I bet Shakespeare doesn’t mind, though.

[@fountainpentherapy]

LOL

[@zeus52452]

Nice review Vincenzo. A beautiful pen, but not my cup of tea. After about a year I finally have an opportunity to acquire a Eureka Dodecagon made in PEEK, and today the Pilot Namiki Falcon ELABO I ordered from a Japanese seller on Ebay arrived today so I get to play with that!! Enjoy the pen. Ciao!

[@fountainpentherapy]

You have handful there. Enjoy!

[@craft-o-matic399]

Hello again Vincenzo, Something else you should know about my tastes is the fact that asian design motifs are not my cup of tea. If this pen was Italian made by real artisans, with Italian design motifs, etc, I would probably love it. I like the shape and the color scheme. The nib seems very unwieldy to me, but I am still a newbie, even though I have done a boatload of studying about this magical world of fountain pens! It is a great video! Who knows, you may find a knock off I can't resist one day! It could happen! Thanks so much! Lisa

[@fountainpentherapy]

I will keep trying. LOL
