    Thanks for a good review. I agree completely. I also waited for a price drop before purchasing. I was excited to receive it after seeing so many positive reviews, and yet I am very disappointed. Primarily for the reasons you raised, it feels too light and cheap. Compared to the Asvine pens I have, which feel like quality and perform well, Admok need to lift their game. 🙌👍🙂

      Thank you for your valuable contribution. That is what I imagine comments to be. Yesterday I saw a short video from Shanghai Knife Dude in which the new Majohn C5 Trudeau was briefly introduced. The current prices of the usual first-party suppliers on A/L/I are once again outrageously high, so one really has to wait until other dealers offer prices that are closer to the value of the FP's. Yes, Asvine is also in my book one of the most demanding Chinese manufacturers in terms of quality, no comparison to Admok. I heard and read that consumer prices on A/L/I are not set by the manufacturer or the state, but by the dealers and they are free to set their prices because it is an export. I think about that often. Above all, Chinese consumers are protected, but foreigners seem to be indifferent. At least that's how I understand it.

      Hi and thanks for reaching out. Have a look at my video th-cam.com/video/9jf_6vNn3rc/w-d-xo.html From minute 5:43 the writing samples of Kanwrite TI Ultraflex EF and Ti Flex F should start. The Ti Flex comes with a plastic feed, but enhanced with a much deeper and wider ink channel than normal plastic feeder (I bought this at 24 USD), The Ultraflex comes with an well made ebonite feed , maybe with a 15 Dolllar adder.. But only Paypal is accepted by Kanwrite and they ship with UPS (quite steep fees). Hope that helps...

      @FountainPenWorld-z4i this helped a lot, for my country (Italy) on ebay Kiwipen sell the ultraflex for 19 euros + 7 of shipping. It is a suspiciously low price for a flex nib but your videos will help me decide. Thank you!

It has nothing to do with the HD but with the dimensions of the Kanwrite feeder which is an excellent enhanced plastic feed but needs a perfect fitting housing to do it's magic.....

      @@hmjeon8609 It depends, if you want to expand your collection go for the Lemon, if you don't want to do an experiment go for the P136. I've both of them, not because they are MB copies, but welll made FP's at justified prices, they are both excellent writing instruments. But of course no one is really safe from nasty surprises... Anyway, good luck with your decision.

    Thank you for your review ! I like your Nettuno Superba, really nice pen. I'm quite happy to also watch your review of the Kanwrite Ti nibs: this is from my opinion an excellent replacement for the Jowo/Bock overseen nibs, underrated at a very fair price.... 👍

    • @FountainPenWorld-z4i
      @FountainPenWorld-z4i หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks for your comment. Yes, the Kanwrite Ti nibs, both with ebonite and plastic feed are definitely underrated because the public's attention is too much focused on high-priced pens, in the false assumption that more expensive is better. This is often not the case It took me more than 6 months, since I became attracted to Flex nibs, watching reviews of so many Flex-FP's and brands, so many different opinions about the flexing properties, taking into consideration that some reviewers have totally different expectations as they are often skilled artists, the opposite of me. The Nettuno is really a great fountain pen, the design, material and price are absolutely matching, but I had to search for a long time to find an acceptable price, I will probably prepare a short review soon.

      @FountainPenWorld-z4i 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thank you for your comment. Yes, it's a real beauty and this FP isn't over expensive. Of course, one can go for the Ultra Ogiva series, but the nibs and feeds are the same, only higher value materials. Now I'm in the process of another Flexer, either a The Good Blue R615 with that Ti flex or an Osprey Milano with a Ti Flex unit, The Milano is a bit less pricey, but currently the R615, made of aluminum and stainless steel in classic black attracts me much more. Another factor is: UK made vs. Indian made. I will have to think about it for some time.
