Asvine V126 Vacuum Filling Fountain Pen, Clear Demonstrator Acrylic Stub Nib 1.1mm Calligraphy Art Drawing with Case Set

Writes beautifully. Lovely transparent teal allows monitoring of ink supply. Awesome pen.

This beautiful pen was a big pleasant surprise. Inexpensive yet with a smooth nib and consistent ink flow, it has become a daily writer that I truly enjoy using in many writing scenarios. I will possibly look at different nib sizes in additional Asvine pens to go along with the other Asvine nibs purchased to limit switching nibs in this pen.

it's a very nice looking pen, it seems to be very well made as far as feel and handling goes, however, the vacuum system plunger sticks to the barrel. This causes the plunger to be pulled off the vacuum filler handle, and render the pen unusable. The pen, then must be opened - tool not included (but is with the Asvine P50), and reassemble the plunger onto the handle. The only reason that you have to do all this, is the plunger seals off the feed, and therefore causes it to dry out and be a non-starter. This seems to happen in about 24 hours of non-use. If it's used every day, then no problem. This also happens with a few different inks, those that are typically well-behaved (waterman, different colors) and non-well behaved inks (noodlers heavily saturated stuff).

Very nice vacuum filler pen at a reasonable price. Replacement nibs are available if you want to try different widths, or just order an extra pen <grin>. I like the size/weight/balance and ink capacity.

I have gold nibs that are not as smooth as this nib. I really like this pen and I will use it often.

The Asvine v126 is a great value for a vacuum filling fountain pen. It is well-made and looks like a quality writing instrument. In the three months I have been using it, it has worked as well or better than some of my more expensive fountain pens. It can be finicky to get a full ink fill, but if you follow the "superfill" method as seen on YouTube, it can be accomplished. The only negative for me is that the medium nib writes more like a western broad. These nibs tend to write on the wetter side. I ended up buying an extra fine replacement nib and it works much better for me. You really can't beat these pens for the price and value for money.

I bought the Asvine v126 in transparent teal with the new 1.1 stub nib and I love it. If you are on the fence about a stub nib, buy this one ! The nib is very wet compared to my Pilot Metropolitan with a 1.0 stub nib, but I am using Waterman intense black ink. I will try my J. Herbin Perle Noire ink next. I love the Asvine v126 pen and will probably buy another one in EF or their set of 3 nibs ( EF, F & M).

Good pen great people sally is awesome customer service is great

The pen arrived used! With a broken box. I was so excited to try the pen and now have to wait for replacement…

Very satisfied with my new pen. Stub nib. For its price point I think it's something truly special. Will definitely be a repeat customer. Also very happy with the speed and condition of the shipment, arriving before the expected delivery date to Canada.

La plume trace, l’encre respire, le papier s’anime. Chaque mot devient éclat, chaque trait un voyage. Un peu cher peut-être, mais la beauté a ce prix. Et surtout, pour qui possède la plume occulte, c’est un secret partagé.

Perfect daily writer for a small price.

It's personal preference, but the writing experience was a little scratchy on the paper and I am looking for something smoother. Also, it's my first time using this kind of ink refill. It looked very cool, but i was disappointed it barely filled half the tank.
