- It took far too long but I finally got my hands on a vacumatic fountain pen and I was not disappointed. these have to be one of the coolest perks of owning a fountain pen. When I first though of getting a vacumatic fountain pen, I didn't expect it to be in the form of a $5 wing sung. Wing sung some how always manage to pull off amazing feats with their pens for the price, and the 3013 does not fail to deliver.
Nice review I need one :) Hoping you get this channel up and running again and I also hope you are still making pens, I have one and it's wonderful !
Hello, I used to come here about 4 years ago when I was in mid school, I couldn't find fountain pens in my city and I couldn't buy on the internet (because I didn't have a debit card) and I never liked asking my parents for things that weren't a necessity.
So while I didn't have one, watching all your videos was the best.
For years I have been collecting my empty disposable ballpoints, I will have about 200 in my collection. And when I moved to fountain pens I started doing it with my ink bottles. I'm currently in uni and just finished my fourth bottle, a parker quink, an inexpensive channel favorite (and test subject).
All this to say, thanks for all the videos and dedication, it is greatly appreciated. Watching the inactive channel I suppose you will be busy, but I hope everything is going well for you.
And well, if the question is allowed, I doubt you will keep the bottles, but I would like to know, how many inks have you finished?
Have a nice day.
Where are you? Does anyone know if he's ok?
yeah im getting back into the fountain pen community and his channel came back to mind, i wonder what hes doing rn
Whats´s up buddy! We miss you. Your videos are great!
Had mine for a while now, beautifully made and a pleasure to use.
It’s made by Paili (Wing Sung 3000 series) and has two versions with Pilot and #5 nibs. Wing Sung 600 series is made by Shanghai Green Stationery. The Wing Sung brand was licensed by Shanghai Hero Industry (not Shanghai Hero Gold Pen Factory which makes some Hero pens) to different companies based on series numbers.
hope you’ve been well! i rediscover fountain pens often as my university requires mostly digital submissions on ipads… i come back to the writing experience and the community every time! hope you’ll grace us with a video soon
Anyone know where JPL is these days? He seems to have disappeared a year ago?
Yesss iam trying to find him too but i have had no success on it
What a lovely way to begin my day. Thank you for the review!
Anyone have any idea what happens to this channel? Such a gem
He is still alive on reddit. But it seems he no longer has anything to do with fountain pens.
why?
Missing you 😔
This is a plunger-filler - not a Vacumatic. "Vacumatic" refers pretty specifically to the pump system in the Parker Vacumatic (similar to Pilot CON-70). AFAIK, only Edison & PenBBS currently make Vacumatic filling pens.
This plunger system is sometimes called a "vacuum/vac filler", after the TWSBI vac700 model (though all self-fillers use a vacuum).
Thanks for the in-depth analysis of the pen though; I particularly like that you checked if the plunger works as ink shut-off valve.
Like Kleenex, and Coke, etc.
We know what is meant without pedantics.
Wing Sung 601 is a proper vacuumatic filler - almost a direct clone of the Parker 61 Vacuumatic.
@@mikafoxx2717 oh! Quite true - I'd forgotten all about it 'cause I don't like the aesthetics of the 51. But it is good to see fun filling systems being made even if the pen isn't my style 😊
@@forgotMyUsername100
Seems the hooded nibs are hit or miss for people, but I like them! Their best trait is almost never drying out. Even if they barely look like a fountain pen, they do still write like one.
Please come back!!!
Come back! We are missing you! ❤️
Missing your pen reviews. Been awhile. All ok?
excelents reviews, I will watch all of them . Thank you very Much, best regards from Brazil, Mário.
Hey. Just for everyone to know: this is the updated version of the 3013. Differences are: cap and end piece aren't faceted anymore but smoothly round now. Therefore sometimes difficult to turn the end piece if your fingers are slippery. The metal band on the cap has two ridges and the "Wing Sung" is not written in Chinese anymore. The 3013 is engraved in better quality than before. The clip has a slightly different shape now and unfortunately it seems to be very very stiff and unusable (at least on mine). I have and older and newer. Visually the newer is better for me :)
Thanks for this review! Based on your review I bought a Paili 013 and Wing Sung 3013 off eBay. It took 3 months to get to me, but these are amazing pens. I swapped the nibs with Pilot Plumix nibs and love them more. The 3013 pen writes better with the Pilot nib and the 3013 nib writes better with the Pilot feed.
I agree that the weakness of the pen is QC of the feed. My feeds don't look like they weren't properly deburred before assembly. It was quite difficult to disassemble the nib and feed from the housing & section, but I think worth it. I deburred the feed before reassembly. I think the burrs were why it was difficult to disassemble the pen. I've never seen feeds quite in this state even my $2 Jinhao Sharks don't have any plastic burrs. Anyway, it's an easy fix. Thanks again for this review. Hope all is well.
Absolutely love the Sing Sung 3013/Palli 013! I have about 6 of them and the only issue I have had is when I dropped one and the top cracked. Currently I have one with Monteverde Fireopal that I filled 4 months ago and it never has a hard start or any other issues. I highly recommend these!
Were are you. Come back to us.
I bought Paili 013. Which essentially is the same as Wing Sung 3013, except for branding. Mine had slightly smoked plunger handle and grip section. I like how it feels in the hand. It's well balanced, but also feels substantial, without being overweight. I like faceted cap and plunger handle.
Speaking of weather. I have almost exact same view from my window - a lot of rain. Except it's whiter and somewhat harder.
Hope you making more videos, im watching you from malaysia for years...
If you like this one you'll absolutely love the Penbbs 268 or 456. Another comment I'd like to make is that this type of pen is more commonly called a "vacuum fill" pen, while the term "vacumatic" is used to describe the type of filling system found on the Parker 51 Vacumatic, Wing Sung 601, etc.
Great review Lov the scruff Josh
I wonder if Josh is still in school or has joined the workforce
Great to see another video from you! Another awesome fountain pen! :)
Love the videos. Keep it up👍🏽
Had the 3013 since release (and a Paili 013 in blue same pen) and really do like it. Have since got the 699 which is amazing, objectively better but more expensive. The 3013 is the new 3008 in terms of value.
I have several of these, and the ink capacity is amazing. (There's a way to get a much more full fill, with a little bit of time.) I carry one fairly regularly. My only issue with them is almost all of them that I have have gotten cracking around the top of the cap. Enough that one snapped right off at the clip. But, at the price, I can get a replacement. 😁
Same thing with the screw in the cap rusting. If you want, dab of clear nail polish takes care of it, and if you REALLY want, get a replacement screw in stainless steel.
I'm pretty happy with these. Are there a few things about them that I could get annoyed with? Yes, but for the price, pretty impressed with the pen. And much easier to clean out than some of my vintage pens. (1940s Eversharp Skyline, I'm looking at YOU 😁). I'd recommend them to someone else. Thanks for sharing this!
Paul, I've had three of these and they all leaked. I wonder if you've had this problem or am I using it wrong or ... (I posted this question above but no one replied)
@@alexsandra9000 My issue is with the caps. I've had several that cracked right by the clip. I get some spatter from the nib inside the caps, but it may be because I try to get as full a fill that I don't have any leakage. System is fairly simple, just like filling an eyedropper one, but from a vacuum, really. TWSBI seals better, but it's still about a $25 difference in price. Doesn't seem to matter if you get a Wing Sung 3013 or Paili 013, in my experience, as I've had both crack in the same place. But, again, it's a $5 pen. Like some of the vintage pens in the lower price range, they aren't always the best, but they work. 😉
Hey man when are you uploading again?
We have to remember, that in China they have hundreds of different fabrics. One model of a pen can come from good one or not so good. This is why precise comments (with photos!) are so appreciated on their selling websites. Or such movies as on this channel 💕👍
bro we miss you come back
fr where'd he go
Thank you for the review. Actually you can post it, if you don’t mind putting a narrow strip of paper medical tape just below the knob. I’ve done this and it works well. I got the idea from the rubber O rings on the TWSBI classic.
Not sure I'd call this a vacumatic. To me, that's more about the likes of some Parker 51s and Wing Sung 601s. I consider mine to just be vacuum fillers. Anyway, just a name. For the pen itself, I was very disappointed in my first 3013. It would constantly starve of ink, regardless of whether stored nib down or not, and regardless of whether I back off the end cap before writing. That's something that some say isn't necessary on this one, unlike the vac700r or the PenBBS 456. I since bought some Paili 013s which allegedly are the same as the 3013, but those are more reliable. Truth be told, I don't use any of my vacuum fillers often as I change inks too much and don't need such a large capacity day to day. That said, the filling mechanism is gloriously cool...
Good info, thanks. I must say your opinion is more valuable to me because you are a manufacturer.
Just received mine, it has a really good feel, the weight is just right, I'm using it with Diamine Kelly green ink and looks great with the transparent barrel. Great vid.
I just got mine today , my first EF and it’s amazing! Love it
Please do consider review Hong Dian branded fountain pen
Thanks for the heads up! Your reviews are always attractive
The only 2 problem I've ever had with this pen was sometimes I would get some burping that would lay big globs of ink down. The others was where the section and barrel would thread together I'd get some flex between the two and ink would leak through the threads.
I have five of these pens, both the Wing Sung and Paili versions. All of them have been inked up for over six months in a row. There are two issues that I have found. One is that almost all of them have gotten micro cracks in the top of the cap. I don't use the clip much, so it could pose a risk for those who do, but for me the issue was dried out nib on one of the pens with a larger crack. As there is no cap liner, a large enough crack in the cap will break the seal. The other issue is the feed on some of them. There are two types of platic used for the feeds, one is more transparent while the other is whiter. The whiter feed has been bad in all cases, it has flow issues and easily gets miscolored from the ink used. I had to swap nib and feed in those pens for them to work properly. You can get a 5 pack of these nibs really cheap, and some sellers will add a few feeds for free. I have had no issues with rust, either in the cap ring or the rod, despite being inked for months in a row. Or, I did have one pen rust, but that was because I mistakenly filled it with iron gall ink, so I can't blame the pen for that. All in all, it's very hard to beat this pen when it comes to value, and I do prefer it over the 3008.
So which one should I buy wing sung logo or paili logo?
@@meet546 They are the same, only depends on what color you want.
@@333pro333 I want transparent one and it's available in both branding and it's 5.59$ at ebay should I buy it
Γράφετε πολύ όμορφα. Μπράβο σας! Επιτέλους ένας παρουσιαστής πένας που μπορεί να γράψει όμορφα. Ευχαριστούμε.
Three it's also the Wing Sunt 699 at about 20 $ and the PenBBS 456 at about 39 $.
The Wing Sung 3013 it's made by the same people that make the Wing Sung 3008 (the wing Sung Educational )!
I just ordered one last week. Can't wait to get it!
Mine doesn't work well. I just acquired the Wing Sung 699 and it's far better (around $20). I also have several PENBBS 456, which are more affordable than the TWSBI Vac700 - maybe look into those instead! Good review!
Please return
Hope you’re doing alright, friend. Been awhile but very much miss your content.
I must be the unlucky one. I bought 2 of these 2 months ago - 1 purple and 1 clear. The clear one arrived with a crack in the threads between the barrel and the section - so I wouldn’t count on the robustness of this model. I get inked fingers every time I try using it.
The vacuum mechanism works well, but they both write like heavy steel nails. Not smooth and very inconsistent flow - skips and blobs everywhere.
I’m glad they were cheap because I am not a fan of the weight or the nibs I received.
I hope others have a better experience.
Heya, hope you're going well ... Was just inking up my Sigaro which made me wonder whether you're still making vids / still passionate about pens!
Dude, where you at? We need fountain pen reviews from China, there's a ton more out there!
Please come back!
With the rod fully extended, the pen purposely blocks the ink flow to make it safer for travelling. You can still write until the feed is empty. Unscrewing the mechanism slightly moves the piston away from the hole and makes all of the ink in the barrel available. Lovely pens at a great price. Thanks for the review.
This pen doesn't have a shut off valve. I have one só I can assure you that's not true
@@diogoalfaia3238 Strangely enough, we're both right. I have four of these pens. The pistons on two of them seal the feed hole completely, the other two leave a small gap. I'm not sure what the manufacturer intended.
@@martynsnan Oh well, that's strange! If so, I have to apologize. Mine was a considerable gap between the piston and the start of the feed, so I guessed it was how it was supposed to be.
Mine doesn't close off as well. It leaves a clear gap
My 3013 is a shutoff valve
I purchased the very fist 3013 pen, from the very first seller, on the very first day it appeared on eBay - paid $14 for a no-colour one. $14 was still a tremendous deal for a vac!!! Then got 3 more... for $4 :O
Cool, although the most practical way when it comes to fountain pens (also less plastic and eco-friendly) a syringe full of the ink you use and then injected into a cartridge or any threaded fountain pen body converted as an eyedropper (w/ trail and error with O-rings and silicone grease and perhaps a blue thread lock- but that may be best for metal threaded bodies), I love transparent with highlights of metal and that cool metallic pillar of the vacuum pen.
Is the nib #6? If yes, that's amazing, I can use my yet to be received Fountain Pen Revolution Ultra-Flex two tone nib which I will use with the Jinhao X750 (coz' that's the most affordable that's fits the FPR ebonite feed and Ultra-Flex nib).
I like heavy fountain pens, I like metal ones, not a fan of plastic and plastic like fountain pen materials like cellulose, unless, I guess it's a demonstrator (until they can make pens using Armor Glass or Gorilla Glass).
God bless, Rev. 21:4
Я купил такую ручку два года назад. Перо отличное - пишет гладко, немного суховато, но мне нравится. Но есть и проблемы. Поршень некачественный - не удалён облой, пришлось разобрать и доработать, иначе вакуум не создавался. Металл некачественный - ржавеет не только винт в колпачке, но и шток поршня (плохое качество хромирования), в результате этого чернила меняют цвет.
Josh also using Monteverdi Saphire ink One of our favorites
Did you make a video on how to "improve" the feed?
And would you know here to buy a "better" feed to replace the stock feed for the 3013?
Thanks.
Any leaking where the metal part intersects with the plastic at the section? My 3008 does at that junction, so was curious to know
TWSBI also makes vacumatic pens!
Damn it... I want this pen~
A good fountain pen review plus some damn good eye candy 🍬...he's so cute...
Hello i have a qustion to ask you. I'm planning on bying a pilot metropolitan and i found one with this description:
Pilot fountain pen MR2 Medium crocodile black in a gift box
Does the gift box ussually contain the converter too?
Hi!! I wonder how you've been these days. I was hoping you could review the New jinhao X159 in comparison to the jinhao159
How did you get into Chinese fountain pens anyway?
How are they different from european ones like montblanc and Parker
What do you mean
Josh loves getting functional beautiful fountain pens for $5, $6 or even a dollar. PEACE
Hello. Please make a review of Moonman Youth fountain pen. There is no video available about this beautiful but affordable pen. Will be a great help.
How does ink comes out so nicely with your pens?, Is it because of the ink or the pen?, If it is the ink then please guide me with ink?
Buy pelikan ink, cheap and good
Why don't you review Amazon basics fountain pen
Do you still Minecraft ?
I’ve had three of these and all three started leaking at the joint between the section and body. Anyone else have this problem?
Hi please make a review on hongdian matte black forest fountain pen
Minus 14 deg Celsius in my city today at night.
Australian gorgeous man; handsome, beautiful ☺️
Those step-downs from barrel to section is like gaveling a stone in your shoe... luckily, that section is long.
Was wondering about that so thanks for mentioning. I hate large step downs. But figure at this price it is worth a try.
I hate having to open the end cap to use the pen. So i removed the rubber vacuum stopper and just use it like an eyedropper. LOL
You should come back and make more videos - I miss your ASMR voice
Can you get a full fill?
luv you man
Do you do pen review for a living? Is this an Australian thing? I am so confused!!!
does it affects you?
I’ve got a TWSBI 700R that I bought an optional loading bottle. Is this the same or similar. Have you released any new pens.
can someone post the link to purchase the pen
Your 5years Old look is very good
You are beautiful
Not a good pen. Hard starter, clogs easily, must be stored nib down to get any ink flow.
5 dollar 40,30 Turkish lira and + who knows tax how much :( AliExpress says total 101,30 Turkish lira :((((((
WHAT A BORING GUY!!!
