Vacuum Filling Fountain Pen Luxury Titanium Fine Point Pen V200 Series, Clear Demonstrator Smooth Writing Pen Gift Case

Fancied a new fountain pen as there's always space for just one more, and I'd not had an Asvine before. I have to say I'm really impressed with this pen. I opted for the fine nib. The build quality is excellent, no rough edges, the screw threads on the cap are smooth . It is really well finished. I gave it a rinse with cold water then filled with ink. The vacuum fill works well, but like many vac fillers it only fills around half way, but this is still more ink than a cartridge or converter will hold. It wrote perfectly, straight out of the box. The nib is fairly wet which suits my writing style with no scratchiness. It is quite a weighty pen which I like, but it is a little top heavy if posted. Unposted it feels well balanced. Overall It is a delight to write with and I can see myself getting a couple more Asvine pens.

I have collected fountain pens for over 30 years and this is my first foray into Chinese pens and I am stunned. Great pen. Well made writes so well, fills easily, looks great. And is great value

This pen has a nice clean appearance. I accidentally ordered an extra fine and was surprised at how smooth it was, but would still consider buying a medium just to be as smooth as possible. Construction is good, pen feels solid. Even though it's pricier than some other pens, it's still a good value for money considering it's made with titanium and has great build quality. The main issue I have with this is the weight and balance. It's too heavy at the back. This makes it more strenuous than other pens which are weighted differently. If weight and balance is a big issue for you I would consider buying a different pen such as the Asvine V126 which having fewer metal components should weigh significantly less. If Asvine read these things, in my opinion you should consider putting less metal at the back of the pen. Keep the metal section though as that actually helps the balance being at the front. Making the bind cap smaller and/or thinner might also do the trick. I also love the aesthetic of the V169, M169, and P80, but the increased weight means I wouldn't buy one. If you could somehow make a similar looking pen while having less weight especially at the back I would buy it in a heart beat.

Good quality and inexpensive clear fountain pen with vacuum filling system.

I went for the upgrade to Bock Nib. As a vac filler it's two main established competitors are the TWSBI 700R and Custom 823. I have both and can say that okay, it's not an 823. However, I would get it over a 700R any day of the week. For one, it's cheaper (even with the bock nib upgrade) and two, subjective, it looks smarter and more of-a-piece than the 700R. It was Bock nib and you can ask for Asvine to QC it before shipping, so the pen wrote well out of the box. If Asvine produce a V200 in different colour - either the furniture (rose gold please?) or the acrylic, I'm getting another.

The pen itself is beyond reproach. However I ordered the broad Bock nib. Twice. The first time the line was so fine I was convinced Amazon had sent the wrong nib (it's actually impossible to tell which Bock nib you get as there are no markings ..). The second version was just as thin. So clearly the Bock broad is way off expectations. I also have the v800 with the Asvine nib. Not only is this nib a far better writer, but quite a bit broader too. Also the second version's brushed finish was far more slippery than the first. By all means get the pen, but never the bock nibs and just be prepared for less than stellar consistency.

A pen that looks really well made and attractive. Sadly performance does not match. Two main problems-both aggravated by the seller responses to my requests for help. Firstly the piston is stiff - so much so that 2 hands are needed, one to hold the barrel the other to push in the piston-then it gives way suddenly threatening to knock over the ink bottle. Secondly the ink flow is insufficient so the pen skips. On trying to get more ink into the nib I pushed on the piston and because it gives way suddenly ink shot all over my paper. On explaining this to the seller they gave a link to a promotional video which showed the pen being held by one hand and the piston pushed in by one finger. Misrepresentation. Also they refused to accept that the pen skips.

I have always been sceptical about the quality of Chinese fountain pens, but this was an exception. Purchased with a broad Bock nib it writes very well, competing with Twsbi pens on build quality and price.

ペン先は欧米基準なので、日本三大万年筆メーカーより1段階くらい字幅が太いと思っておくのが良いと思います。インクフローよし。書き心地にも問題なし。 Asvine 極細を選択しましたが、あー書けないー次のペンクリはいつだ、と言うことにはなりませんでした。 尾栓にOリングが付いているのでキャップをさしても簡単に外れることはないでしょう。が、その状態はなかなかのリアヘビーになりますね。チタン部分にごく細く横向きのヘアライン加工がなされているようで、インク吸入の後首軸に付いたインクが拭ききれませんでしたが、水で濡らしたティッシュで拭き取ることができました。 分解工具とOリング×2も付いてきましたので、できる方なら洗浄はやりやすいかも。

A very good fountain pen that punches way above it's price point. I have two of these and despite some complaints about the blank cap being out of alignment, I have never had this happen on either of my 2 V200s, and never seen that happen on my friends' ones either. The vacuum system is very convenient and holds quite a bit more ink that regular piston converters, and is very reliable AND user-serviceable with the wrench they include. I highly recommend getting this with the Asvine 3-nib kit as it gives you more options if you want to change nib thickness. If budget is a concern, the V126 is also an excellent choice, and is quite similar to the more expensive Pilot Custom 823 for a fraction of the price.

Una pluma de primera calidad, con materiales excelentes y con una escritura y trazos increíbles. La tina fluye ininterrumpidamente. Totalmente recomendable.

J'avais l'habitude des TWSBI Vac700R, j'ai voulu essayer celui-ci qui se remplit selon le même principe et qui est moins cher. Avec le recul, il se remplit aisément et écrire avec ce stylo-plume est très agréable. Il semble très robuste et, pour avoir plusieurs modèles de stylo-plume Asvine, c'est, selon moi, le plus agréable à utiliser et le plus robuste de cette marque. Je le recommande.

Excelente pluma, no tengo palabras para definir todas las bondades de esta magnífica estilográfica, el trazo es súper suave, la tinta fluye en su justa y exacta medida, escribes y te apetece seguir haciéndolo. Es una pluma de tamaño mediano tirando a grande, para mí es el tamaño ideal. La carga de tinta es muy cómoda y rápida. Totalmente recomendable. Plumin F
