    Hey, welcome to the fountain pen community. I like your video setup with the multi-camera presentation. Don’t worry about making mistakes since you’re new. Most pen nerds will remember their own learning curve and forgive them. We’re also big on helping each other out, so feel free to ask questions in your content. You know people WILL comment. I don’t have any Pen BBS pens, but I thought it neat that you have 2 other pens there that I do have: the red M600 and the orange TWSBI eco. I’ll also have a look at your travel channel. I follow a lot of those as well.

      Hey William 👋, thank you for the kind words. I’ll keep that in mind when making videos :) to ask more questions. You should give a few Penbbs pens a try like the ,495 and the 456.
      The M600 was definitely one of my expensive fountain pen purchases. Haha never again. But I do love it. Again thank you for the support, means a lot.

    I'm just now finding you. Welcome to the FP community. Thanks for your videos! Great video here. I don't mind PenBBS I just don't care for pens that don't post and I dislike the fact that most of my PenBBs pens are impossible to clean out completely. Ink gets trapped inside the filling mechanisms. But I do like to fiddle with them and they are great writers for the most part. Some of their acrylics are super. Keep making videos. I will definitely keep watching.

    Waat. I follow your travel blog and even commented on some of your videos about Denmark (because that is where I live so that is what I feel like I can comment on XD) and now I find out you are into fountain pens? Perfect, lovely video!

    I just bought one of these 495s, too... I got mine in the Galaxy Blue acrylic... and I love it! I'm a big fan of PenBBS in general, especially after flexing the tight tines a few times to improve the ink flow, but once that's done, they're as good as any pen that I own at a great price.

    • @Inkwellchronicle
      @Inkwellchronicle  ปีที่แล้ว

      I was looking at the Galaxy Blue, I wanted it sooo bad. But I try to get different colors in all my penbbs pens. So the next new pen Penbbs comes out will, Ill get in Galaxy Blue. Im so over trying to get expensive pens only, especially when they make goods at this price.

    • @Inkwellchronicle

      Definitely is my favorite color pen I have right now! For Autumn Oak, I like to use it with a medium nib, to really let the ink shine:). Thank you for the kind words, that really means a lot to me. Books have so much endless knowledge.

    Nice review! It's nice to see someone discovering fountain pens! To be honest I have been around for like, two years and I didn't know what a blind cap was, so I don't blame you xD
    Regarding the pen, a lot of people don't like how the 495 looks like but I dig it! (except the red piston... it's like penbbs wants me to use red ink with the pen) but the acrylic you chose hides it well.
    I own a penbbs 469 and it has a round medim nib on one end, but sadly it's a bit overplished.... One good thing about it is that I can write with it in almost any angle so that's cool!
    Anyways thanks for the vid! :)

    • @Inkwellchronicle
      @Inkwellchronicle  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you for the kind words, yeah I saw that some people don't like the way it looks. To me its a little different and I dig it too. Especially in a pen market that is hella crowded. Should I buy a 469?

    • @goya951
      @goya951 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@Inkwellchronicle Whether you should buy a 469 or not, it's really up to you. Personally it's useful to me to draw on the go, as I only take one pen but carry two different inks within it. The design is not common, and you're really getting two pens for the price of one... But I recommend you watch reviews before you buy it. It does have a big stepdown from the barrel to the grip section and that can be a deal breaker to some (most of the time I'm one of those people, but the stepdown isn't sharp at all so it doesn't bother me like others.)
      This is something extra, feel free to ignore it: Honestly if you're curious about a pen, I say go for it! But since you're just starting on this fountain pen journey, one thing I can recommend is to set limits from the get go. Personally my limit is to not buy to pens from the same color, or from the same model... Stuff like that. It makes you appreciate your pens more and really think through your purchases! Same goes with ink. These conditions have saved my wallet many times, so I hope they help you too :D
      ... Anyways!! Whatever you plan to do with your chanel, I'm looking forward to the next video :>

      @@goya951 Thank you for the well thought-out response. I have been using fountain pens since 2016 I believe, I just was barely in the community though. But now I am free in life to where I have more time to give this community (hopefully). I think I will try it out and buy the pen. The idea of having two pens in one is very interesting. Yeah I dont like to purchase the same color. I like to be able to tell my pens apart. Thank you for the support again. Im trying to find balance between my travel vlog channel and this pen channel :)

    • @Inkwellchronicle
      @Inkwellchronicle  ปีที่แล้ว

      My favorite color way as of right now, its just breathtaking. It feels like i'm royalty anytime I pull it out.:). I feel you on the quality aspect, but I only have problems with some of my penbbs pens writing dry. But I heard they are made that way because of writing script in China, its better that way. Im not sure if thats the reason or not. But this round medium wrote like a dream, straight out of the box. My Pennbs touchdown filler took sometime before it started writing like a dream. Thanks for checking out my video:). Have a good weekend.
