I like the new format. Great information. Thank you.

[@aaronspenvideos4420]

Thank you!

[@gadgetstop321]

Thanks for the update Aaron. I think both show formats are informative and enjoyable to watch.

[@aaronspenvideos4420]

Thanks!

I enjoy your videos! I got into fountain pens 6 years ago but only very recently got into fountain pen KZbin videos. I missed out on a lot! Interesting that you mention that you enjoy the twist-off cap; I'm curious about that. Do you ever find your pen dries out when you're thinking and not writing for a second? I frankly don't even like snap caps that much and prefer the Pilot VP for this reason. However I've recently gotten into Chinese fountain pens and unfortunately I haven't seen any retractables.

Aaron Wow! That was a complete wrap up of these pens. Very informative and enjoyable format. Your concise commentary hit the important points. This would take anyone of us hours to look all this information up on our own. Thanks 😊.

[@aaronspenvideos4420]

Thank you, and I am glad you enjoyed it.

[@barrylevitt1170]

Hi Aaron, I prefer the old format. Thank you for the informative video and the time and effort you put into your videos. Have a great day.

[@aaronspenvideos4420]

Thank you for the feedback!

[@MsJuszczyn]

Awesome video.I needed something like this every month

[@stufftwin9332]

I don’t know if you were aware, but Qomolungma, or Chomolungma, is the Tibetan name for Mount Everest. Hence the “Himalayan” reference in the copy and the general mountain theme features of the pen. Thanks for the review and showing the purchase links... they were helpful.

[@aaronspenvideos4420]

Thank you, I did see that in esybuys post. I was not comfortable trying to pronounce the translation.

[@chrisrap52]

Format OK. Need to speed it up a bit. My HongDian 660 ($24 no box) was delivered in CA. I have sent email to seller. Appears they used a DHL packet. Have you seen Jinhao 9056, a similar wooden pen around $15 USD. I ordered on in Tiger wood, my favorite. These look similar to Moonman M6, a good sized pen but nib dried out. Happy Ne Year.

[@aaronspenvideos4420]

I agree I need to speed it up. Got caught up on the sites for to long. I saw the jinhao yesterday and like the look of the pen especially for the price. I'm sorry your pen was delivered to the wrong address.

[@chrisrap52]

@@aaronspenvideos4420 Have the 660, great pen. Jinhao has cleared customs. Video on 660 will be up in a few days.

[@sebenzalover]

This channel is a late discovery to me and it is unfortunate that Aaron no longer makes videos. I hope he is fine and in good health. I have been disappointed before with favorite channels disappearing.

[@RobertFisher1969]

The best thing that would improve these videos for me would be to have time-stamps to the section for each pen in the description.

[@aaronspenvideos4420]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@BarrettSonntag]

I have that moonman f9, it writes well, feels solid. The filling mechanism is different from anything I'd had before. My only gripe is I had hoped it was a little bigger overall. It's a very slim pen.

[@BarrettSonntag]

Do you know if esybuy is on other platforms? I'm unable to use Etsy.

[@aaronspenvideos4420]

Ebay, they have an ebay store

[@manuelsalazar3938]

I prefer AliExpress, I live in Mexico and most sellers at Etsy don't ship to here and eBay takes forever to arrive while shipments ordered from AliExpress are taking around 3 weeks or even less, some Chinese sellers from eBay also have stores in there.

[@singingexpertspg]

Love the new format

[@aaronspenvideos4420]

Thank you!

[@Hawker900XP]

I like the black HongDian 885 ✒️

[@cathiescott7382]

I have the F9 and like it a lot. A bit thin for my hand but well balanced with a nice nib and I love the look.

[@aaronspenvideos4420]

Good to know. Thank you for the feedback!

[@INERTIA4SC]

Are you going to make anymore videos? What’s going on? The last video you did was 9 months ago. Hope everything is alright.

[@aaronspenvideos4420]

I have unfortunately been extremely busy with work and family, but I will try to eventually get back into videos.

[@pnmoura]

Hey Aaron...let me tell you that your videos are a big problem to me! Whenever I watch any of your videos, I end up buying that pen(s)...You are costing me a fortune!!! Kidding aside, great videos...Keep up the good work! A big compliment from Portugal!!!

[@aaronspenvideos4420]

Lol, thank you!

[@AlessandroVolta1]

If you’re going broke buying these knock offs, you don’t have a buying problem. You have an income problem. Save your money and don’t give these trademark and design thieves your money.

[@pnmoura]

@@AlessandroVolta1 Don't be stupid! What do you know about my income? You don't understand the concept of irony......

[@AlessandroVolta1]

@@pnmoura wasn't commenting on your income. I was commenting you the post. I don't see why anyone would want to send their money to a country that rips off legitimate products, design and technology and uses those profits to enslave and imprison Uyghurs, followers of Fulon Gong and Christians in what are basically concentration camps. Why not buy the real thing and save up for it. I enjoy it when someones first reply is the accusation of stupidity. It tells a lot about a person and their inability to exchange ideas.

[@Tahir.22]

Good pen

[@edwardwiper1323]

Like the format Aaron shame about the metal sections like you not a big fan,otherwise nice pens.

[@aaronspenvideos4420]

I know, I really like the F9 design though.

[@marcschweitzer]

"Again".

[@FrauStaenki]

The Sound in the Intro was good, later the sound was to quiet. The lighting in your face is toooo bright. But: it definitely goes in the right direction. BUT: It is FAAAAR TOOO LOOOONG ... Sorry ... This is a 10 Minute Video stretched to 45 minutes ...

[@aaronspenvideos4420]

I will cut the time down, and I don't know what happened to my audio. Thanks for the feedback

[@BarrettSonntag]

They are homage pens, yes you have it right!

[@ChroniquesCoraniques]

It's really boring all those ads. Man, you dont have 10 K subscribers ! I leave.

[@aaronspenvideos4420]

Lol, then you don't have to watch. Any money that I earn for this channel goes into purchasing pens or items I need for the videos. Sorry the ads bother you.

[@ChroniquesCoraniques]

@@aaronspenvideos4420 Come on ! the FP here are just virtually promoted, you did not buy one of them :)

[@denmarkleopesi7108]

Terrible

[@aaronspenvideos4420]

Terrible how? Format or just in general? I only ask for constructive feedback. Thanks!

[@denmarkleopesi7108]

@@aaronspenvideos4420 the Montblanc lookalikes shouldn't be embraced by the pen community or looked forward to or considered new.

[@aaronspenvideos4420]

Understood. I know that some of these videos and topics seem to trigger some people. I have no intentions of buying one of the montblanc fountain pens and I understand both arguments from the perspective that some people are angry that these manufacturers are cloning these pens, but I also don't think the person that buys one of these pens will probably never pay for a montblanc fountain pen. Either way thank you for watching and appreciate the comment!

[@manuelsalazar3938]

@@aaronspenvideos4420 I don't think that those high end brands care about it because it doesn't really affect their market, of course it's debatable on an ethics viewpoint but in the end Moonman is not selling them as fake Montblancs as other Chinese manufacturers do. Also it's a very good quality offer for those who can't afford a 1000+ USD limited edition pen. In the end, it's on each of us to decide and do or not "the right thing".
