Review: Amazing performance, especially for the price - I am amazed at the writing experience of this pen every single I pick it up. I purchased the pen with an EF nib and it writes pretty close to a true Japanese EF. This is the only sub-$200 pen where an EF nib is both this fine and this smooth when writing. A few comparisons to the Pilot 823 (which is a clear design inspiration for this pen): - the V126 has very similar mechanics and functionality - the V126 feels a little "cheaper" and slightly lower quality Compared to many of the "budget" brands, however, this feels like a premium pen. I would strongly recommend it for someone getting in to fountain pens over some of the standard recommendations in this price bracket. My one gripe is the threads on the cap. Nearly every time I recap the pen I find the threads getting crossed and have to fuss with it a few times before it screws on correctly. (Pictured with Robert Oster's Turquoise ink.) Review: Good nib host and maybe the best fountain pen in any of the lower price classses - So we own various pens that might be considered, depending on your specific criteria, competitors - PenBBS 355, various Opus 88 models like the mini and demonstrator, basic Nahvalurs , Jaipur V2, Kanwrite Heritage, Conklin, etc. And at this point these are my preferred pocket pen. (Note that I don't consider many of the previous pocket pens: pretty much anything that doesn't allow for closure of the ink chamber like Opus 88 models, the 355, and this pen do, doesn't really count as a proper pocket pen in my view, and even then some pens are too big for the pocket.) That said, of the above pens what I find is that the Kanwrite Heritage is an excellent host for desk usage involving nib unit changes or flex nibs, while Asvine 126 pens are great for daily pocket usage. These are good nib hosts. I have a Franklin Christoph SIG Fine nib on the stock Asvine feed + unit. I've not had this particular nib behave well in the Opus or PenBBS despite trying different feeds and units. it's been prone to random blotting and other inkflow issues. For the 355 I also had to sand down the finial thread for fit. On this pen, it just writes, with reasonable and safe ink flow. I do regard the factory "extra fine" as more of a fine-plus than an extra fine, but that's pretty much the case on most stock extra fine nibs in my view - they're often barely different than factory fine, and often mean factory fine is closer to medium. It's fine for writing with so long as you don't prefer writing extremely small. It write perfectly well, and perhaps slightly on the wetter side of things. I have noticed that once in a while the feed will stop for a moment for no clear reason (NOT skipping) - I think this happens when I forget to open the main chamber until after I've written extensively with it closed or have pocketed it cap-up without closing the main chamber. I assume that means both behaviors somehow lead to an occasional air pocket interacting with the feed. That said, it's not a frequent issue *at all* and solves itself in a couple seconds most of the time. A blip because I forgot to open or close the main chamber is much preferable to blotting or variable ink flow, so I don't mind this at all. I hate fountain pens that use ink cartridges - ink cartridges always leak, break, dry out, or otherwise cause problems, so IMO this is far and away preferable to anything that uses cartridges. I also tend to view regular piston fill pens as too prone to leaking for pocket use. Which makes this easily the best pen for regular everyday use under $100 IMO. It does post, though a bit loosely. I find the size to be slightly shorter than I care for unposted, and slightly taller than I care for posted, but that's not bad by any means - it's a more comfortable size than the Opus pens all round, though I think the length of the 355 unposted is slightly preferable compared to the Asvine V126. Have two of these and may get one more just to have another nib available for pocket use. Do wish they cam in more colors, especially more non-gold metal finishes. ## Features - Vacuum System-The pen's built-in vacuum filling system holds far more ink than a cartridge and lets you draw ink straight from the bottle, no converter required! - Easy Filling- Simply untwist the end cap, pull up the piston rod then push down, ink is filled. To use the pen for longer, unscrew the piston knob a few turns to let ink flow from the barrel to the nib. - Classic Design-The V126 features a modern, eye-catching design, with a frosted transparent body that shows off the pen's inner workings. - Smooth Writer-- The extra fine nib was made of stainless steel with gold plated which ensures you have a smooth writing experience. - Premium Acrylic- The pen was made of premium acrylic for long-term of use. It was equipped with comfort frosted grip for your long-time writing. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0BS41G2BR | | Additional Features | Transparent | | Age Range (Description) | Adult | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #11,669 in Office Products ( See Top 100 in Office Products ) #22 in Fountain Pens | | Body Shape | Round | | Brand | Asvine | | Brand Name | Asvine | | Closure Type | screw | | Color | Frosted clear | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 294 Reviews | | Drill Point | Extra Fine | | Grip Type | Contoured | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Included Components | Fountain Pen, Pen Case, Instruction Manual | | Ink Base | Water | | Ink Color | Gold | | Item Diameter | 12 Millimeters | | Item Weight | 0.12 Kilograms | | Line Size | 0.38 Millimeters | | Manufacturer | Asvine | | Material | Acrylic | | Material Type | Acrylic | | Model Name | V126 | | Model Number | LPGC3961B | | Recommended Uses For Product | Writing | | Style | Extra Fine Point | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | 1 | | Writing Instrument Form | Fountain Pen | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** Adult - **Brand:** Asvine - **Color:** Frosted clear - **Ink Color:** Gold - **Writing Instrument Form:** Fountain Pen ## Images ![Asvine V126 Vacuum Filling Fountain Pen Extra Fine Nib, Frosted Transparent Clear Acrylic, Large-Capacity with Gift Case - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51qW7IVptTL.jpg) ![Asvine V126 Vacuum Filling Fountain Pen Extra Fine Nib, Frosted Transparent Clear Acrylic, Large-Capacity with Gift Case - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51spqOcwqnL.jpg) ![Asvine V126 Vacuum Filling Fountain Pen Extra Fine Nib, Frosted Transparent Clear Acrylic, Large-Capacity with Gift Case - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Dqx1fmuzL.jpg) ![Asvine V126 Vacuum Filling Fountain Pen Extra Fine Nib, Frosted Transparent Clear Acrylic, Large-Capacity with Gift Case - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61ZWX2eE-jL.jpg) ![Asvine V126 Vacuum Filling Fountain Pen Extra Fine Nib, Frosted Transparent Clear Acrylic, Large-Capacity with Gift Case - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61h7HXTf4-L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing performance, especially for the price *by J***N on April 15, 2026* I am amazed at the writing experience of this pen every single I pick it up.

The reason is that the piston cap is very loose and wobbles when the piston in not securely screwed down, such as when you would leave it slightly open to allow a steady flow of ink to the feed, and feels rather flimsy. It makes the pen feel something less than a finely crafted writing instrument. Had this not been the case I would certainly have given this pen a full 5 stars. ## Frequently Bought Together - Asvine V126 Vacuum Filling Fountain Pen Extra Fine Nib, Frosted Transparent Clear Acrylic, Large-Capacity with Gift Case - Asvine Hongdian Fountain Pen Bottled Ink Black, 60ml Fountain Pen Bottled Ink, Non Carbon --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/517653961-asvine-v126-vacuum-filling-fountain-pen-extra-fine-nib-frosted](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/517653961-asvine-v126-vacuum-filling-fountain-pen-extra-fine-nib-frosted) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-09*
