Wrecked your TWSBI? I’ll show you how to fix it!

I had a bit of interest into how exactly one maintains vacuum filling pens so I thought I might as well just pop a quick video out for you all. I hope you enjoy!

Not sure why these "how to" videos don't do well, but I appreciate them!

[@crouserm]

Very helpful. I can tell you, with my attention deficits, I dare only dismantle and service one pen at a time!

[@muallaemine]

These videos are great for everyone. I remember the videos Sbrebrown did back in the day. They were very useful I tend to forget how to do things if I don't do them often. And I am not particularly good at pulling things apart and rwassembling them or adjusting nibs. So it is great to watch someone clearly showing all the tiny steps. I always need a "for dummies" guide to stuff like this 😂 I really appreciate this video and I hope that you will do more of these despite the algorhythm's stupidity

[@lael5327]

Stupid algorithm. It did put your channel in front of me recently and I'm loving it! I'm sorry these don't do as well.

[@angel_avengeline13]

I love to the how tos! Especially on how to make your pens a little wetter, best hack ever! Especially for my jinhaos and kawecos, the pens I'm not worried to ruin

[@rebeccadaniels7046]

Helping with your algorithm by adding a comment AND forwarding your video to my sister, who I pen-abled by gifting her a TWISBI as her first fountain pen! 😂. I own a couple but this one was not a video that could help me. I did a very thorough cleaning a couple of months back and lost my rose gold nib, JUST the light metal nib, down the drain!! I’m know I can pick up a replacement but only in SS, not rose gold. I guess I just needed to formally mourn 😢 Thank for the video and another view of your new home! I’m so happy for you and Parker! 🐈

[@boshkodjordjevich7424]

Actually - you can replace the rose gold nibs. Send TWSBI an email, and they'll arrange to ship it to you. They have plenty on hand - but don't post them as part of their overall inventory. I think they cost slightly more than the regular nibs - but for what it's worth - it will get you writing again. Apparently, if you buy a used TWSBI - with say a broken clip - they'll replace it for you too. They have quite a large backstock of surplus parts and its another reason why I love them.

Thank you for talking the time to make this video future me and my future pen babies that I neglect too much when it comes to cleaning are forever grateful

[@theeightoclock]

Omg I have an amber 700 that I have been putting off rebuilding this timing is great thank you!

[@miahoover9225]

Thanks for doing this. My TWSBI vac mini arrives this week.

[@PensandTea]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@archivist17]

Helpful and reassuring. Hope more folk are prepared to give it a go.

[@PensandTea]

I hope so too! It’s less scary to take apart your pens once you’ve done it once

[@arnaupuig5097]

​@@PensandTea Carey!! How are you? What is your job?

[@paulmchugh1430]

I use this method for all my piston filler and vacuum filler pens. I am sort of obsessive with maintenance so finding out how to clean and lubricate these pens is paramount. Adjusting the times is perhaps a bit trickier. You should demonstrate that, too. Flushing the nib and feed may be the most critical of maintaining the pen. This procedure is great and thank you for demonstrating.

[@boshkodjordjevich7424]

This was a great video. I'd love more of these please. I believe for the TWSBI 580, there is another grease required to lubricate the piston rod. Do you have a pelican? Have you opened it up to clean it too? How about your Pilot 823? Great video, as always. Thank you.

[@courtney9212]

Nice video 👍 I'd like to request a nib tune how-to. I want to see if i can get my kakuno collection a little bit wetter. 🤔

[@elainenabors9832]

Thank you!!!!!!!

[@MrG0CE]

PLEASE I WANNA SEE A VIDEO ABOUT DISASSEMBLING THE UPER VACUUM PART OF THE VISCONTI HOMOSAPIENS ! IN ORDER TO CLEAN IT ! I HAVEN'T SEEN THAT IN THE WHOLE YT !

[@myklia1]

I need one for TWSBI Diamond 580 piston. I feel like it is a lost cause but I can’t give up on it yet. I have watched a lot of videos but maybe yours will be more clear.

[@impish22]

brave girl !!

[@miguelcarvalho9077]

i just bought my first fountain pen, a kaweco sport and i was wondering how do i clean it. i searched on youtube on how to clean a fountain pen and i cant find how to clean one that just has cartrages. do i even have to clean it?

[@Richard-1776]

Too bad you don’t have a Eco to reassemble for we plebeians who watch you. if there were a fim of me trying to reassemble that thing, it would show every way but the correct way to do it, so much so that it would qualify a comedy video. I’m so inept at that sort of thing. However, I've got the process it all down now except for the top colored twisty part ( not to be confused with TSBI) which I can not get to reassemble flat the way it comes form the factory, and the sad result is the cap doesn't post securely, and i hate an unposted pen. That is my only problem with Ecos. The EF’a and Stubs work pretty well depending on ink/paper of course. I’m a Pilot fine / ex fine guy personally, but I hate pens they don't hols a lot of ink.
