I've been staring at this exact pen for a couple of weeks now lol. would be my first Indian pen. iced mocha just looks so good with that clip! thanks for convincing me 😂
Thank you for changing the nib live. I’ve never changed them either. We are at the same point in our fountain pen journey. I purchased the Kilk Camera fountain pen. It’s a Turkish brand. You’ve probably seen it on the Galen leather site. I can’t wait to receive it.
Exaclty! A copper nib would put this pen right up among the stars, hahaha! I have several copper fountain pens but non of course have a copper nib. That would be something
OMG, I love that Architect nib, how cool is it??? I need to try it!!!!!! 😅😅 nib envy.... and by the way, just wanna say, your nail colour is matching your new pen colour once again Karyna 🤣🤣🤣
Your zeal is so infectious... loved the video... amazing selection of nibs, and that pen is gorgeous. This is why I subscribe. Coffee themed pens are my jam. And this is a must-have. But, that clip though! Right! Uh-huh.... This checks all my boxes... and the grip section is the perfect girth. Happy New Year. Great choice for FPD2022.
Hi Karyna! What a beautiful pen! Can you please tell me how does the grip section circumference compare to Pilot Kakuno? I have very small hands and somehow I can’t use the Pilot Kakuno for long writing sessions cuz it’s a bit wider than most other pens I have. I’m really tempted to get this Ranga pen. Thank you!
Hi Kathleen. I just compared now and this model has a grip section that is wider than the Kakuno. I recommend their Bamboo Slim model - it has a narrower grip section and you may be able to get it in this acrylic. Check out Peyton Street Pens or Ranga Pens directly.
Wow Karyna I think you have a🖋🖊✒ obsession. 😁 I have been so good. Though I did buy a pen in August, then in September, then in November, but I said no more this year, and I held strong during the Black Friday sales. Ranga is so on my list. A Ranga and Waterman Carene are going to be my next pens, next year. I sort of wish you got the Ranga in ebonite. Ebonite has an amazing feel, and I want you to experience that. Not an ebonite pen that is laquared, but straight ebonite either polished or matte. The Ranga I'm going to get is going to be ebonite with a Ti nib. It's a lot of rotations because it's an eyedropper. It's a beautiful, beautiful pen. And, yes the copper looks so much better than gold or chrome would. Hope it brings you years of writing pleasure. I have some suggestions of how you can choose what nib to use on the pen. Buy more pens without the nibs. Ranga sells pens with no nibs, and there are a lot of custom makers that buy rods ( a lot from Jonathan Brooks) and turn them, and you can just buy the finished pen - no nib.
Haha yes I've got a bit of an obsession. I think I'm just letting myself be open to the acquiring new pens experience, but I'm also working within a budget I've set for myself. I'm also being more intentional about what I like and don't like. And there's one more pen that is on the way that I got on Black Friday. Then no more for this year (famous last words!). I have a few Ranga acrylics on my wish list, but I do want to try the Bamboo model in ebonite. I think the way the pen is shaped and the ebonite would make for such an amazing feel in the hand! I used to wonder why people would just buy "a pretty pen holder" but there is something to be said about the ebonite and acrylic and being able to have nibs you can swap. It changes the whole writing experience! I do have two nibs with cursive italic grinds, one fine architect nib and a fine stub. I'll definitely think about just buying the pen body with no nib.
@@KarynaLovesToPlan I have a bamboo, but it's the Visconti Asia Bamboo in celluloid. Nice pen, but very thin. I'd like to get another Bamboo pen sometime in the future. A much thicker, may be I'll get the Giant Bamboo from Ranga. You'll like some of those no nib pens. A lot of fancy colorful acrylics. But like I said Ranga will also sell you just the pen. Have I steered you wrong so far? Well you get many comments, so I don't know if you remember. Have I told you about fountain pen companion before?
nice purchase- I was lucky enough to meet the staff from PeytonStreetPens at the SF Penshow and got a Ranga and a Lotus. I found out about the nib compatibility later though - and it's a game-changer. I may need to get a flexi one like yours next. I wound up putting in a SIG from Franklin-Christoph
@@geminiman2831 I like them both for separate reasons but a slight edge to the Lotus. But that said- the next time I order from PSP I'd likely get a Ranga but in Ebonite this time. I think you'd be happy with either one
@@geminiman2831 no, I haven't tried any. I only know of those two brands being sold in my area. That's one of the reasons I subscribe to @KarynaLovesToPlan - to find out about new tools and products - or new to me at least
Very pretty pen. I love the way the flex and italic nib wrote. ❤What was the name of the Pilot fountain pen that you showed (it was cream colored)? After I got my first Sailor Pro Gear Slim fountain pen, I think that I want another small fountain pen.
I have used Pilot pens and you can't really compare them to the Ranga pens. This pen has a Jowo nib, and I do love the Jowo nib. But Pilot's nibs are smoother and softer (bouncier). Not always to everyone's taste. I like both and wouldn't choose one over the other.
@@kodoaok626 I no longer own a Pilot Metropolitan but here is my first ever fountain pen video which has both the Metropolitan and the Kakuno. th-cam.com/video/lsdqGvHqxfQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=t30-GRO9XJOWAalN Good luck! I recommend doing your research by watching a lot of other videos!
I really like the feel of the TWSBI diamond series, so I’m pretty sure I’d LOVE writing with the Ranga!
Thank you so much for this video. It's a pleasure to see how excited you are about this beautiful pen.
Her nails managed to match the pen. This is a true love pen match.
I want this pen!
Excellent review. Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
I don't have any Ranga pens but on the pens I have I find it easier to unscrew the nib unit if I remove the converter first.
Awesome - thanks for the tip, Steve!
I've been staring at this exact pen for a couple of weeks now lol. would be my first Indian pen. iced mocha just looks so good with that clip! thanks for convincing me 😂
"Another pen"... story of my life! That was so funny and def can relate!
😂😂”another pen”… I have just given up saying “No more pens!”
@@KarynaLovesToPlan I support it!!! 🤪

Glad it was helpful, Kathleen! And yes, I've seen some of those pens at Galen Leather. Have fun!
Wow, such a beautiful pen! Love the copper clip!
I wish the nib came in a copper colour to match!

Thanks for subbing! Yes, this pen is amazing! I highly recommend if you love coffee themed pens!
Aww this makes me so happy! 💕💕
... Might have to go check out those PSP nibs myself the next time I'm in a buying mood...
I already have 2 (or 3) Ranga pens with special nibs in my cart at Peyton Street...
👌👌😍😍🍃

Love that architect’s nib❤❤❤. Was that sent to you by Ranga- or another source? That one nib I gotta have!
That was a purchase from Peyton Street Pens - they sell cursive italic nibs and architect nibs.

It's a Pilot Prera from Amazon. It's lovely! amzn.to/3EXpbgf
@@KarynaLovesToPlan Thank you!
Hello madam,
Is it an Indian branded fountain pen ?
Yes it is!
@@KarynaLovesToPlan I hope you had used Pilot Fountain pens, comparing them to Ranga pens, which would you pick ?
I have used Pilot pens and you can't really compare them to the Ranga pens. This pen has a Jowo nib, and I do love the Jowo nib. But Pilot's nibs are smoother and softer (bouncier). Not always to everyone's taste. I like both and wouldn't choose one over the other.
@@KarynaLovesToPlan Thank you Ms Karyna. Now I have to look for Pilot pens. Does the metropolitan and kakuno differ in only the build ?
@@kodoaok626 I no longer own a Pilot Metropolitan but here is my first ever fountain pen video which has both the Metropolitan and the Kakuno. th-cam.com/video/lsdqGvHqxfQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=t30-GRO9XJOWAalN Good luck! I recommend doing your research by watching a lot of other videos!
mam, you need to write bigger to showcase flex in strokes. 😂
