Ensso Bolt Retractable Nib Fountain Pen Review

[@michealjaymurphy]

Glad to hear you like it a bought one on the kickstarter

[@duncang7372]

I've been using my Bolt now for about 3 months and it's become my absolute favourite. I got the EF and it's constantly filled with Writer's Blood, which suits it so well. I've had absolutely no issues so far with a wet nib or ink on the seal. It travels in my bag to and from work and is my go-to note-taking fountain pen

[@AndrewWertheimer]

Thanks. Just got one at the Kickstarter with a clip too.

[@13noman1]

Thanks! I've had nothing but good experiences with ensso on Kickstarter so I'm eagerly awaiting my Bolt come June.

[@jamerelbe]

Thanks Dr Brown, I'd already jumped on the Kickstarter campaign, but was still weighing up whether to stick with it. I trust your opinion (is that a wise thing to admit??!), and your review convinced me to stay on board!

[@konradyearwood5845]

A bit of ink leaking on to the silicone seal probably primes the pen when you slide the nib through to expose it.

[@Addwrite]

Hello. If I may ask, are spare silicone seals available? It would be good to know as I imagine that those seals might be susceptible to eroding. I believe that some seals are provided with the pen, but it would be reassuring to know whether they are available to purchase when the supplied ones are used up. Great video.

How did I not hear about this pen? This pen is super simple and interesting, and the price is surprisingly low. Whish they had more nib options but I hope that comes later. Speaking about titanium pens from kickstarter, did you ever review or use one from Namisu? Would love to know your thoughts on the brand.

[@samfedorka5629]

I saw another reviewer was able to rotate the nib by grabbing it with a tissue to get it in the right orientation without having to disassemble the pen.

[@michaelwinn8324]

I love your content and the unexpected turns in your presentation style, but isn’t there some way to put more light on yourself and the pens? The window leaves things much too dull.

interesting pen, very cool review

[@paulmchugh1430]

Have you noticed the nib rotating after extending the nib multiple times?

[@archivist17]

It's an interesting design, but still needs a few things ironed out.

[@PATRK55]

A small slot on the inside of the body and a matching little dot on the nib assembly really could've helped with the nib alignment

[@konradyearwood5845]

You can turn the nib unit in situ to align it. Just use a tissue.

[@criscavi19]

Interesting new design. Thanks.

[@asfasfd7772]

Think I'll pass on this one. I just wish someone would copy the vanishing point, but remove the clip from the nose and replace with a nice comfortable grip.

[@jakesong266]

There is clipless version of Majohn a1.

[@asfasfd7772]

@@jakesong266 Any good?

[@peterpuleo2904]

Looks too much like a tire inflation gauge.

[@greyareaRK1]

It seems very fussy. Imagine putting a fraction of that effort into the 9019.
