Asvine V200 Titanium Fountain Pen Vacuum Filling, Iridium Medium Nib Clear Transparent Acrylic Smooth Writing Pen Case Set

My original review was written before I learned more about this fountain pen and realized the pen was only as good as the ink you used in it. To be sure this is a well made, beautiful writing fountain pen. The ink flow is very consistent, very much more so than I or anyone would expect it to be. The tip of the pen is well made. It provides a smooth, consistent and level line of writing yet gives you full control over the way it writes. Unlike many fountain pens I have used this one has never leaked in my pocket or in the cap of the pen. I had many vacuum fill pens, which I think are the best method to fill the pen with ink, and this is a very easy pen to fill and will give you ways to fill the barrel to different levels. I press hard when I write with any type of writing instrument, this pen handles the pressure well and is responsive to varied pressure and the direction you hold the pen to let you control the written line. For the money this is a very well made pen, with characteristics, features, and quality of some very very(overpriced) expensive pens I have owned.

Asvine V200 pen with a medium Asvine nib. Silky writer in the paper, good flow, and a good fit in the hand. Before inking I placed a tiny amount of silicone grease on the vacuum plunger, threads on the nib to body, and cap to body, with a touch inside the ink chamber north, south, east, and west. Cycled the piston and cleaned any perceived excess. I wrapped a few turns of pipe thread seal tape on the metal threads on the vacuum rod to ensure longevity perhaps since plastic and metal threads can wear over time. The medium Asvine nib is nice with very good tuning on the tines. Inked up the pen getting about a half full barrel, and I thought that was plenty for the maiden voyage. The pen in hand and nib on paper produced buttery smooth lines with perfect ink flow. The pen was excellent in hand with a nice girth. I highly recommend the pen without any hesitation. Great pen. Great design and execution of detail by ASVINE and workers. Good price. Fine experience. A fine writer and that is the key! Someone asked about centering the nib directly under the clip for a clean aesthetic look that appeals to fountain pen lovers. I found a way that worked for me out of the box. SEATING THE NIB TO THE CENTER OF THE CLIP. Screw the cap slowly in place until it seats. Is it centered? If not, slowly unscrew the cap with the slightest amount of downward pressure on the pen body until you hear the tiny click of the threads. Screw it back in place and the nib should be centered under the clip. It worked for me.

Very well made pen. Great balance and comfortable heft for long writing sessions. Excellent build quality — everything fits precisely, very close engineering tolerances. The filling system works well, pulling up 1+ ml of in with the first plunge. The pen writes beautifully. Excellent flow (with Iroshizuku Shin-kai ink) and an obviously well-tuned nib produce a generous, crisp line, even on mediocre paper. Overall, a pleasant writing experience (unposted) that makes it hard to put the pen down. It’s already earned a place in my daily rotation.

Couldn't fill the pen with ink. It just didn't work. And the little ink i did get in the cartridge, the pen didn't write that well either.

This is a phenomenal pen! I have a bunch, mostly for art and sketching, but more and more for writing too. This is an incredibly versatile wet and smooth pen, that handles even dry chromashading inks and shimmer inks with no issue at all. It’s also beautiful in the rainbow anodized version and nicely balanced. I guess if you want it to post you’ll be upset, but I want something well balanced so I don’t post anything. This may be my favorite of all.

I got this with high hopes. This thing loves to skip. Mostly at the start of upward motions, but also when crossing ts. I got a set of replacement tips, and i have the same issue. I use diamine writers blood, that isn't the issue, as it flows fine in other pens I use. All nibs and pen itself was cleaned before use, ive tried pulling out nib and realigning, the cap is fully unscrewed while writing, but no matter, this thing simply loves to skip :( Edit: after even more disassembly and cleaning, this thing is hopeless. I have no idea why, but this thing refuses to write consistently. Ill stick with scriveiner. This thing constantly skips and false starts, it has moments of hope, just to randomly not work. No other pens I have behave like this, this thing SUCKS Edit 3 : Shes Stubborn, but Im unmoving. So, the culprit was literally EVERY nib i recieved, after ordering a p36 and that having the SAME exact issues, hard starts, skips, sometimes not even at all dispensing. Full disclosure THE PENS ARE GREAT- THE NIBS SUCK. After spending about 15-20 mins on each nib, opening the tines on an even surface, and then bending the tines back down toward the feed while on a hard even surface. Doing this got overtime and monitoring got inkflow to finally be consistent, however it is absolutely INSANE I got 2 pens and a pack of nibs, so a total of 5 nibs, and all needed adjustment to write properly. Now, I got both pens working, no stops or skips, and they are great, but if you are new and just getting into fountain pens, maybe get something more functional out of the box 2nd Purchase: Get the black version, writes perfectly out of box, issue was NOT the nib, I bought 3 packs of replacements and none worked, so I just got a new pen, this time the v200 in black, THIS one is superb. It is my favorite. The other was absolute garbage. Don't buy the silver model. Company never reached out to me, they claim good service, but never once addressed anything in my reviews.

Better than expected. Excellent materials and construction. Writes well. Good value. Smooth transaction.

Not my favorite. I have 20+ fountain pens and this is my least favorite. I was excited to get it because it is different and it looks nice. For some reason it has trouble dispensing ink. I have tried everything and it will work perfect for a few words then dry out. Good concept, great weight and balance but bad design on the ink to nib.

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

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.

La he probado poco, pero de momento escribe fluido y no rasca el papel. Para rellenarla bien, hay que esperar un poco a retirarla del tintero después de apretar el embolo hasta abajo.

TL:DR - This fountain pen has great construction/premium feel with the clear acrylic and titanium. The vacuum design provides an easy to fill experience. package includes a couple extra o-rings and a tool. Medium nib is solid and standard across the board. Provides a pleasure writing experience with the asvine hongdian non-carbon ink and affordable. Can see ink levels with clear acrylic. Great vacuum fountain pen This pen feels so pleasing to write with I don't know if i can put it into words. This was my first ever vacuum fountain pen and as someone that's just starting to get into fountain pens it may have been a bit of a stretch for a beginner but everyone's gotta start somewhere. The pens construction is really well done, it still surprises me how affordable this pen was and how premium it feels in the hand. The clear acrylic with the titanium construction provides a really light pen that may look heavy but allows you to flow freely when writing. The vacuum suction is really good and I haven't had any leaks or malfunctions with this pen after using it for a couple of weeks. I purchased the asvine hongdian non-carbon black ink as that is what the product is suggested for use and paired with this pen provides a really enjoyable writing experience. The flow of the nib is pretty good and pretty instant as soon as it touches paper, the feedback is standard for a medium size nib and the flex seems pretty standard as well. This pen is a great package overall, it has premium construction and great flow with a vacuum style design. It would make a great gift for anyone into fountain pens and an excellent writing companion for those that need it. All that for such an affordable price, you can't really complain.

A quality fountain pen, robust, good materials. First impression: a little heavy for woman's hand. BUT actually pen is well balanced and ink flow is wonderful, writing is smooth. I love this pen!
