Very cool! Someone directed me over here and now I've tried this and it's truly awesome. :)
Hi Peter...I like your videos...
Peter Peter Peter....
The famous Peter drops in to drop kudos! What a guy!
I've modified my friend's opus88 to remove some of the cap threads, so now it only takes 1 turn to uncap. :)
Wait, you posted this 3 years ago? FFS I’m so mad at myself for missing this. Thank you thank you thank you.
I’ve never made a calligraphy character in my life. But I do have a Parallel. And I’m intrigued by the Opus 88. And swappy swappy. So who knows what could happen?
Like your videos. You’re a high vibe person with much positive and free flow of energy, that makes the videos fun to watch. Honest opinions about each pen and that does help me to choice which one to buy. Excellent work!
Thank you so much! I'm so happy to hear you enjoy and that I can help you out :)
How about that ? ! I would never have guessed it and it's so easy. Thanks, Azizah
Just wanted to say I’m having a great time with this little truck, thanks for sharing!
Wow--so cool! I've been wanting to get an Opus 88 pen but get confused about which model to get. They are each attractive in their own way. This settles it; the Demostrator has to be the first one so I can have that fun. I can't believe how you drew those long lines across the page with no skips or gaps.

What’s uuuuup!welcome back. I like that! Don’t stop that that’s nice it’s apart of your personality 🥰
If you want to spend a hell of a lot less money on this, the moonman M2 body takes the parallel te same way (You do have to use quite a lot of pressure to get it all the way in so it doesn't leak and burp, but once it's in, it's perfect/.
this is exactly what I was looking for thank you so much. do you know of any others that work with it, and did you figure this out by experimenting or measurements then trying?
Wonderful information, as the Koloro is out of my price range and the M2 isn't. Thanks so much.
I've got the Opus 88 and a set of Parallels on their way to me so I can do the swappy swappy! Thanks for sharing!
Funky stuff, Azizah....nice, interchangeable set up. I suppose it is the only drawback with the Parallel's - as is - this appears to be the solution. Clearly, Attila knows his onions (or pens) - great tip (sic), & very cool application. Toodly pip, Mrs Nibbage !! :D
That is really exciting news Azizah. Thank you for sharing it.
It looks like in February 2019 they will release additional colors in red, orange and grey demonstrators. I thought having one is enough but I am tempted to pick up more to fit my parallel nibs!
So cool!!! Now I need another Opus 88 Koloro Demonstrator because I'm in love with the broad nib unit I have on mine but this is amazing and looks like so much fun!!!!
Azizah, totally "mind blowing"! Now all we need is an Opus 88 group buy😊👍
MIND BLOWNNNNNNNNNNNED!!
Uhuuuuh, that is grandtastic 🙌 (I was motivated to create this word), I was eyeing with both of them anyway, but did not do it yet, partly because the german seller did not have the demonstrator in stock any more, now during watching your video I checked and it is back and I ordered both the Opus and the Parallel, I am too excited! Thank you so much for sharing this gorgeous trick! Awesome 👍
That's Cool! A Pilot nib on a pen that's at least 20 times more expensive. I wonder how many people know you can "eyedropper" a pilot parallel pen.
I do that, too, but sometimes it's nice to have the safety of the shut-off valve for when I throw my pens around :D
I ordered a custom 1mm parallel to try out for every day writing. Thanks
I wish able do to it !!!.....it sounds marvelous !! You are such a motivator !!
That is so cool!!! Hopping on GouletPens.com now to order me an Opus 88 (I have the Pilot). I love the idea of having it more portable and seeing the ink. Thank you Azizah ~ excellent video!
Very cool.
Thanks for the demonstration.
has anyone found any other fountain pens (that are maybe more affordable) that work with the pilot parallel nibs? would this work with more eyedropper pens of comparable size?
Can this work on the other Opus 88 pens? Like the Omar and Halo?
Oh, wow! That's an awesome discovery! Thanks for sharing, Azizah!
This is great information. Of course not nearly as great as you - you are a doll (grandmotherly speaking). So happy to have found your channel.
Thank you so much!
Thanks again for sharing! One question: What kind of paper resp. notebook do you like for practicing calligraphy?
Awesomeness.
I wish pilot would just make the parallels nice.

Does anyone know if this works with the other 88 Koloro models?
Wow. That is so cool. Imagine an incredible highlighter with firefly ink for school.
Do you think any pen that has a size 6 nib unit is a candidate for this very interesting change out Aka FC Christophe pen?
It doesn’t work on FC pens as far as I have checked!
Gourmet Pens just ordered the shredded scroll nib. The anticipation is killing me. :)
Thank you wonderful video
Glad you enjoyed it
Can you do this with other Pensor only with the opus ?
Finally a reason to use shimmer and sheening inks
I have to do this, I have my parallels based on your inspiration. Yet to ink up. The ink capacity and the valve as you say are game changers. I had my eye on the Fantasia, but the demonstrator is top of my list. I really want to be able to do some lettering. Do you know of any books or resources on lettering with the parallels? They are so different to the brushes and dip pens, and there’s lots around for those.
This Swappy swappy is something I must do!😁
Oh. My. GOD. I am doing this immediately.
“Best Pen-Mod... Ever!” 👍👍👍
August 2021, I did this with the same model, opus 88 Koloro demonstrator, but the pilot parallel nibs are very loose?? I’ve been writing and they have just fallen out at times… is there anything that can be done to maybe tighten the fit???
There is a little O-Ring at the back of the Parallel nib unit - that should help keep it secure!
would this hack work with an opus picnic?
No, the nib size is too small :(
dooes this work with any opus 88 demonstrator or just the Koloro?
I think I heard that Opus manufactures(ed?) for other companies. This makes me think they are an outsource for Pilot.
Great calligraphy, but shouldn't it be doughnuts? Or is donuts the Tim Hortons spelling?
Wow neat!👍😄
Only works for Koloro demonstrator? Does it work for the Omar?
I tried it in mine and it was too loose. I'm not sure how tight the tolerances are so it's possible it'll work with the Omar but having only tested with one, it didn't work for me.
@@gourmetpens Thank you!!! That is EXACTLY what I needed to know! I'm hoping Goulet Pens holds another sale for New Years, if so I'll pick up a Koloro then! Thank you!! Excited to increase the utility of my Pilot Parallels!
Wow! Thanks
OMG discovering this two years later makes me want to order a Koloros, a 2.4 Pilot Parallel nib and rewrite the Declaration of IndePENdance!
THIS IS AMAZING!
Brilliant!
I live in Mexico, is it safe to buy the Opus online at goldspot? Thanks in advance!
If they offer international shipping, I cannot imagine why not. Perhaps contact them to ask!
@@gourmetpens thank you so much for taking the time to answer! You're the rockstar of the penverse!
Quick update: it took 14 days, but the pen arrived in excellent conditions. Goldspot delivers! Thanks again!
Cool beans.
5:13 If my attempts at calligraphy looked 1/10th as good as your "horrible" calligraphy, I'd be pretty happy. Just saying. Lol
Hang on ... does this mean that you can put a Pilot Parallel nib & feed into *any* fountain pen that uses a screw-in Jowo #6 nib unit? Wow!
I haven't tried any others!
Of course, now this means I have to spend the weekend trying this trick on ALL THE PENS! (Which, by the way, is a terrific way to spend a weekend). If a similar hack works for Bock screw-in nib units as well, that'd be just fabulous...
th-cam.com/video/JaQ2ro1FSg0/w-d-xo.html
no, it doesn't fit in all #6 compatible pens. I tried it in a franklin christoph model 20, and it is too loose of a fit.
Has anybody tried any other pens that will take the parallel feed?
