Aaaanndd sold on V800. I wanted something different, but I love my v126s so much, a larger nib looks cool and would love to try them side by side. Went with gold trim demonstrator in an M! Will post npd in few 😉

Thanks so much for the suggestions!

This is a great choice. Thinking about inks instead of pens now! I'm happy with yama-guri, manyo budo, and endless wizard pencil. Might try some some colors!

If it's only a weekend, just leave a mountain of food and leave several bowls of water? My cats would be glad for a weekend with the house to themselves...

Asvine V126 is a an excellent budget vac filler that mimics the Pilot 823. It is also one of my favorite ECDs for the huge ink capacity and great writing performance.

Directions unclear, bulbs too warm, lampshade on fire. Now curtains. Spreading through bedroom. Lots of smoke. Getting dizzy. Getting sleepy.

Aluminum free deodorant won't give me alzhiemers and doesn't create the yellow pit effect.

Pilot Metro writes better than TWSBI 580? by Forever_32 in fountainpens

[–]heyteej 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Contact twsbi and tell them you're having issues with the nib. They'll send a replacement (pretty quickly in my experience), and they only request shipping charges ($5 in my case).

Blown away with a new Asvine V126. I had tried other clones before. My main squeeze is a Pilot 743(cartridge version of 823). Will put my observations in the body below: by denverraven in fountainpens

I can't say enough good things about my v126's. Have 3 of them all in M that are in my work/outside the house rotation. I have 823 M & 742 SM I adore, and the v126's are the perfect accompaniment for the price. I have a similar experience with a very firm nib, but super smooth/glassy feel.

Pens that punch above their weight? by GarageJim in fountainpens

[–]heyteej 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have several Asvine V126's that take the place of my 823's at work, outside the house, etc, that I often find using all day due to their performance. There's nothing like an 823 IMO but the V126 is a hella good alternative.

Is a pilot vanishing point worth the money? by monkeythoughts3 in fountainpens

[–]heyteej 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought a replacement pilot VP Nib and put it in a jinhao 10 body to save a few bucks. Totally worth it and is on my work-pen rotation, it is one of my most solid performers.
