I discovered these piston pens a while ago but have not seen them reviewed. I purchased it on eBay Canada from China for just a few dollars. I have only used the clear one as a water brush. This pen gives the perfect amount of water consistently with no dripping. It is great for a thin paper that needs just a touch of water before buckling. This brush has an unbelievable pointed tip and performs like a watercolor paintbrush. It works perfectly for detailed watercolor painting.
Wow! I almost bought them but it would be a shame to buy 3 for one. I do like the Pentel brush pens. And the leaking worry would be a bit much. Thank you for testing them and I hope your baby doesn’t repaint your home with one when in those 2 seconds that they can find so much to do. I worked nights and watched my 4 yr old(21 yrs ago) during the day. Well I didn’t realize that I shut my eyes too long and he found the outside deck stain and started remodeling my white kitchen and thought I would be so proud. Well I had to fake it because it was my fault. I never worked another pm 16 hr shift no matter what. But you have a sweetheart, I had a very very active stuntman. Best wishes Teoh and thank you for sharing what works.
I have found that they work pretty well, better than i expected for the price (ebay). Natural hair and holds a sharp point well. I use them for line art. Thanks for talking about them!
Ink flow for the largest one might be improved by filling it more completely. That way there would be less air inside. I suppose like piston fill fountain pens cleaning the brush and feed would be a matter of flushing it repeatedly with clear water and I'd guess it would be even more important not to allow the brushes to dry out with ink or paint on them. Looks great for calligraphic marks and filling in areas!
Recently bought a similar small brush because of its really low price, nice to know that you can actually dismantle it! Thank you for pointing that out, mine was a bit stiff, so I didn’t figure it myself. Haven’t used it yet, but now I’ve gotta try.
I have 3 of the WingSung 3009, which are similar to the brush with the clear finned feed. The ink flow control is good and the brush tip comes to a sharp point with excellent line variation. I would be interested in your opinion of that brush pen, by comparison. I think the price is similar. Thank you for your always comprehensive reviews.
I bought two, including the transparent one. Both have a leaking problem. I like the idea but considering the poor execution I think you probably have to invest if you want quality.
That’s exactly what I would be afraid of. I don’t want my art supplies to leak especially when I take them in my bag with me. I know for example kuretake brush pens are not the cheapest but their quality is honestly the best I’ve ever had in brush pens in use.
@@teohyc Thank you very much for your reply and the clarification. 😀 So you do not think that the different color pigments of the different colors have much influence on the fluidity, because it's the same manufacturer?
@@ironwhy Different pigments will also affect fluidity because they attach to binder differently. But it's mostly the quality of the brush pen that will determine the ink flow.
@@teohyc - I've always found them to be very fluid but "grainy" and they clog my brush pens. They were great for dip pens. Have you really never run into clogs with Noodler inks? Genuinely curious! Thank you for your great reviews!
I have a problem with a waterbrush. I used it once or a few times and then after some rest the brush doesn't want to give out water or give it very poorly. Why ia it happening?

Very interesting Teoh. Wow, that golden brown ink is gorgeous! Thanks for another great review. 😊👏💐

I’m really pleased you reviewed these - I’ve been seeing those Lamy piston looking dip pens around on Instagram 😊
Wow. I’ve never heard of these but they look interesting! I like the brush end these have! Might have to try them. Thank you for showing these!
thank you for your product reviews! I really appreciate them!

This brush is also suitable for beautiful writing...🎨👍👍👍👍
I've been thinking of purchasing these brushes. Thanks for the review.
I bought a Lamy knock off with brush nibs for $1... so far so good... after your video, i think i wanna try a bigger brush too!
Clear one looks like a wing sung 3009 I think the numbers are
It does. I've got a set of wing sung brush pens and are happy with them.

Very interesting video. I didn’t know such brush pens even existed. A quick search on Aliexpress comes up with similar products. Thank you.
Now I bought a few of those from amazon, I think they can be really nice with ecoline or indeed grey ink for shading.

Intresting🤔but i wonder...will it work with granulating watercolors? Or wil it clog?
I could see me making a big mess with those pens.
Are you sure that the "ink flow" is not also depending on the different qualities of the ink rather than just the pen?
All the inks I use are Noodler's ink which are very fluid

Have you tried a fountain/calligraphy pen that sucks up ink like this one? I just bought one and haven’t tried it yet, but it looks promising.
I had never seen such waterbrushes before. Not here in Europe at least. They look cool.
Where to buy them
I find mine was not very good, it was one that came with the reusable calligraphy training pad
The Ink/water was running too fast & no twisting needed
Yeah, water flow can be a problem.
Theo please try the new derwent waterbrush (push button) please

Not sure why. Maybe something clogged
@@teohyc Maybe. Have two same brushes and same happened to both.
I have a brush pen that looks like a LAMY. I hope you review them sometime.
He already reviewed it. It was a year ago, I think.
@@stel8963 thanks. I’ll check it out.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Can I dilute ink to create a less opaque color (to fill the brush pen) to create shades in my sketches?
You can. I dilute Lexington Gray to get a lighter gray.
I can imagine this being an ink guzzler! Interesting tool tho
Huh I honestly didn't know such a thing existed thank you for sharing
Can I have one
No need to flex so hard! Lol!
Hello ;)
obviously not
The hair looks like that of Chinese brushes
