The vacuum is actually an intended design. It prevents leakage in pressure changes, like flying. For extended writing, just unscrew the blind cap and you'll get free flow. 😉
Excellent pen. My only dislike is cleaning it, but I quickly decided that these pens need to have dedicated ink. I have one in Amber, Smoke, and the Clear one from Japan, each in different nib sizes. My Amber and Smoke pens have specific inks, but I haven’t decided which ink to keep in the clear yet. One of my favorite pens though!
Anyone who has and does not want the Pilot Custom 823, please send it to me. This is an amazing FP at it's price point. I will gladly take it off your hands, lol.
I just bought one pre-owned (inked only once) and got a great deal on it. The M nib is on the upper end of my comfort zone, but it's so smooth that I have no regrets.
Thanks for the first hand account. I wish more pen reviewers would take the time and explain the quirks about a pen, but you did it really well. I feel you on sealed pens. I have a Sailor Realo and having to flush the piston 7-20 times is a pain. Shimmer inks are fun! Until they aren't....
I was misled by the title of this video. I thought the author didn't like the Fine nib on the 823 (Why was the nib in the title?). It turns out that the author likes her fine nib and that most of the dislikes could be solved by purchasing the Custom 743 with its cartridge/converter fill system.
I am sorry i have to disagree with most of your comments on the 823. Mine's about 5 years old, what a writer, never skips and writes smooth the effect of which is like writing on glass. I have about 30 pens, what i do is avoid changing inks in my pens. I experiment with which ink will work best with my pens and once that decision is made I restrict myself to only that ink for that pen. My 823 is filled with MB Irish Green which is a well lubricated ink, shades and writes wet. The combination is an absolute joy.
Hi emini, thank you for watching. The 823 is my favorite pen and a lot of my comments are minor as it has the fewest flaws out of my other pens. I have committed using take-sumi ink in my 823 now, but I am thinking of switching to a soft amber brown color for some dimension. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
I love this pen to bits, I actually have 3 of them, 2 in medium (so smooth!) and one in fine. I don't find them impossible to clean but it does take a bit of effort, yes, so I tend to keep them inked with the same colors, and use Iroshizuku inks in them.
@@pleestationeryteahouse I have a million pens, and like the 823 very much! I actually got 2 of them, and two custom 743's with FA nib. I switched the nibs on the clear custom 823. It is awesome! I think it is a bit difficult to clean thoroughly, but not as difficult as 149 from MB. The Twisting piston is a great for flights!
How do you compare the medium to Fine. I am thinking of buying one and I am confused about whether to go for Medium or Fine. I would personally prefer fine but I have been told the writing experience is a bit scratchy at times. What is your opinion? Is the Fine nib smooth and has a good flow?
@@wassierehman8821 what I can say is that the difference between fine and medium is quite big, the medium is juicy and feels more like a western medium, while the fine is definitely on the Japanese side of fine. I wouldn't say it's scratchy, but you have to like fine japanese nibs.
Interesting (and fair) critique. The only thing about the 823 that I found mildly annoying at first was having to unscrew the blind cap before every long-winded writing session, but I quickly got into the routine/ritual of it, and now don't even think twice about it when I grab either 823. The matter of cleaning the pens isn't an issue because, weirdo that I am, I next-to-never change inks: the amber/M gets filled with Pilot Blue, the smoke/F gets Pilot Black; a previous 823, which was tragically lost, had Noodler's Old Manhattan/Blackest Black in it, and I used that ink briefly in the replacement 823 before switching to Pilot's black ink. (Note: Have you tried Pilot's Blue-Black? I like it a lot, and use it in my Vanishing Point.) I would *not* recommend the 823 to someone who changes inks as often as their socks; something like a Custom 74 is much more amenable to ink-switching (and, with the CON-70 converter, still holds a good deal more ink than your garden-variety cart/converter FP). Good, thoughtful video!
You can remove the top seal on the plunger so you never have to unscrew the cap! I don’t mind unscrewing it, I kind of like it actually, however; the pen looks much classier like the classy pen it is when it doesn’t have that space between the unscrewed bit.
Thanks so much for your thoughtful comment and feedback. I'll definitely try the Pilot Blue Black soon. Custom 74 is on my list. I love the Vanishing Point but that converter holds too little ink (which is fine for EF nib), but eventually I'll like to get a medium size nib so CON 70 for the Custom 74 could be a good balance.
I agree wholeheartedly except I am one of those people who changes inks/colors nearly every time I feel. This is not super easy to clean but honestly, I have never had an issue with it and have used a variety of inks. I would caution people from using inks that are known to stain easily (Bay State Blue) or waterproof inks that could potentially dry inside. But after a year of use, it cleans quite easily and I don't see that it is that much more difficult than a regular converter pen. Just rinse it out and let it soak for a bit. Iroshizuku and Pilot inks are, of course, perfect. But Diamine and some Noodler's have been nearly just as good.
Yup, would love an EF Pilot Custom 823: if you don’t mind a convertor, the same no.15 nib is available in EF on the Pilot Custom 743; also, if you want the pen you’ve got to put down the finest line it’s capable of, try inking it with Diamine imperial blue:)
I love the Custom 743 but can't rationalize getting it as I have the 823 already which is still a dream. Looks like they will be putting out more nib sizes for 743 which is exciting.
I love this pen. Only thing I need is more colors, even though I am happy with the amber because it’s my dedicated brown ink pen for sketching and writing.
I very much enjoyed this thoughtful reflection. The 823 is on my wish list (F), and as you say, none of your observations are "dealbreakers," but your comments align with my own reservations. I'm happy with my Pilot Custom 74, but it's a medium nib and I prefer more fine. I also like how you're using up pages in your Hobonichi :).
This is a nice pen, and black is the proper business color. Colors like fusia, pink, green, shady blue, transparent, etc are for kids or youngsters (women like funky colors too). Also, the lacquer finish shows dust easier, but dust is way better than scratches! The most important thing Plee is that you don’t hold the pen properly. Those first two fingers need to be on the side of the pen (for guidance) while the third finger is beneath the pen for supporting it. The way you hold the pen today creates unduly pressure on the nib and will also make your fingers and hand tire faster. Good show!
I thought this was a great review. So many reviews become so generic that one doesn't always find out about the little things (that might be more important to another) that might annoy others. I'm glad you spoke your opinions! Thank you. This pen has been on my "maybe" list for a while.
Thank you for watching! Fountain pens are such individualized experiences which adds to the joy in the journey of using and enjoying different pens and their quirks
Ouch saying those things about this pen lol i love the classic cigar shape pen. One thing i don't love is that it's a vacuum filled pen which takes quite an effort to clean.
lol yes, the 823 is a truly wonderful and classic fountain pen and I see many people defending its honor on this video. It is still my favorite pen in my collection so that should say something.
I like your video 😂 and glad that your dislikes are very minor because it is my grail pen. Planning to get it early next year for my birthday. My question is how does stand against scratches. How's yours after years of ownership. Thank you.
1st thing I wouldn’t like on that pen is the F nib… The point of the 823 is the vacuum filler. From your dislike, I would recommend the 843 which is the same pen with cartridge converter ;)
I would love having this pen as a cartridge converter! I did get to try the pen in an M nib at a store and it was wonderful. Perhaps my next pen will be M or B nib… the evolution of the fountain pen journey from a gel pen user…
"Posting" is an interesting term used in the pen world. Is the cap riding atop the pen, boots and stirrup? Perhaps there was confusion or anticipation and posting is what we will do with the letter we write? The 823 I have has a stub nib and isn't comfortable as a fine writer, otherwise I would carry it with me. Otherwise, it's a standard ogiva. Filling systems all have their limits and vacuum pens aren't great for ink swaps. I would not use glitter ink in a vac pen. The presentation here was very good.
it’s the fill system that is the biggest negative for me. Instead of buying a second one, I got the Custom 742 instead, writes the same, but is a cartridge/converter….same with the 743. And they are both a lot less money.
Hello! I really liked your video, not because I can argue with many of your points, but because you can speak freely of what is considered a "this may be the most excellent pen of all times" amongst pen aficionados. Thanks for the alternative view! May I ask what the calendar is?
Thanks for your thoughtful comment, Nikolas. The 823 is my most excellent pen, but not perfect. I am using the hobonichi techo A6 english planner in the video. Works great with fountain pens as it uses tomoe river paper. Cheers!
To be honest most of your 'don't likes' are purely subjective, if not all. Dust on resin? Is that really something people get worked up about? Number of turns to open? Again, unless it takes 3 or more turns is this something that really irritates? (If quick notetaking is required get a slip cap pen or a VP). Not comfortable posted? As you have small hands you shouldn't need to post, and in fact the video clearly bears this out. So if you want to post it has nothing to do with balance and everything to do with preference (subjective, as you note). Difficult to clean? I've heard that a lot but never had any difficulty myself. Makes me wonder what's going on. This isn't a pen for constant ink swapping. I use Sailor Do-you in mine and the ink itself actually cleans the pen. Only comes in amber and smoke (and clear actually)? That's a matter of taste. Pilot obviously have no market pressure to change their model colours.
@@RASPOLOGY Another stupid comment. My original post was to point out the difference between subjective and objective assessment. I would hate for someone to be put off buying an 823 based only on someone's subjective opinion.
So I just bought my first custom 823. Smoke color, fine nib. I did a rinse on it before I inked it up to make sure it was clean of any factory debris. Let it dry, and inked it up with the pilot blue ink that it came with. Immediately underwhelmed! Im new to fountain pens but have been using a Lamy Al star and TWSBI. both write great. The custom 823 feels scratchy and the ink feels lackluster on the page. Any suggestions?!
I just got my custom 823, I'm using quality 90gm paper which has a nice smooth surface, and writing on it felt underwhelming and very fine, with scratchy feedback. However on less quality paper it felt super smooth ( i think the ink can soak in the paper hence the nib glides better). I'm planing on opening the tines a bit for better ink flow. Everything that can improve inkflow (feed, nib, paper, ink) will improve the feeling you get from the nib from my observation Try using different paper you might get different feels maybe you're not used to fine lines like myself, i try to get used to it for a different kind of writing. Coming from a self tuned wet stub it felt very unfamiliar. hope i could help
I've written several hours with it now, and love the feedback on this fine nib it gives me control. I thougth it was mistake but now I can't stop writing with it. I suggest just writing with it, it kinda grow on me after hours and hours of writing. but it takes kinda effort to learn to control your strokes in order you to like your own writing more and more
Hi Justin! How is the pen going so far? I find that it writes quite well on "cheaper" paper, and it doesn't have as strong of a feedback that I find in a Sailor. Maybe try one of the pilot inks in it? Those are usually fairly wet inks. My Custom 823 writes smoother than my TWSBI 580, so I am curious if it's the ink or the paper?
@@pleestationeryteahouse now that I’ve had several weeks to get used to the pen I love it! I have started using Iroshizuku inks exclusively in the pen and that really seems to do the trick. The ink just seems to be made for that pen and now it writes wonderfully. Funny how fast an opinion can change once you have the right ink for it!
@@SpendyHobbies I thought so too! That pilot pen/ink combo works beautifully. For some reason it didn't seem to do as well with a sailor ink (still writeable but not nearly as glorious) Enjoy!
Several turns to uncap is inherent to all twist caps. Turning the blind cap for constant ink flow is also inherent to most vacuum fillers and it is a readily accessible information before acquiring the pen. Also the pen doesn't suddenly start skipping, it starts to gradually write drier so you know it's time to feed the nib. Also readily available information. Difficulty cleaning the vacuum, it's also inherent to most vacuum pens, so another readily available information. So I can't help but ask; why'd you get this pen and not one you'd be more happy with? :) On the other hand, props to you for a critical view of a grail pen. Takes courage. Happy writing.

Yes, it truly is an excellent pen. I definitely would love another so I can use different inks with it without as much hassle.
That pretty much aligns with what a Japanese pen friend said. It makes using the pen so much more convenient cuz you're not cleaning it all the time.
Anyone who has and does not want the Pilot Custom 823, please send it to me. This is an amazing FP at it's price point. I will gladly take it off your hands, lol.
Yeah, I think this is the best pen you can get at the price point. Hope you get one soon!
@@pleestationeryteahouse i already have a few 823s but I will still take more if others are willing to donate! LOL.
