    Pretty pen. What I like about Pilot Pens is their extra fine nibs are true extra fine. I’ve purchased a lot of fountain pens with extra fine nibs that write more like a medium point. I’m in the rabbit hole too! Love the ink

    Love this! I use and carry the Pilot Vanishing Point in Champagne in the pen loop of my Moterm Weeks cover. I absolutely love it and have never had issues with leaking. I have the Pilot Vanishing Point Decimo in Navy that use in my A6 Techo, both pens with DeAtramentis archival ink. Last evening I received a new Pilot E95s premium fountain pen that I’ll share in a video later today. Enjoy and welcome to the rabbit hole! Oh, btw… just name her Violet!

    i haven't used a fountain pen in ages, we only had those in primary school, eastern europe.. i didn't even know they have retractable ones these days :}. this one looks extra lovely.
    @5:35: for extra ink, we would 'burp' them: suck up the ink, flip the pen and screw the piston back in till ink shows up at the tip then suck up some extra ink.
    ps: only blue was allowed in school but sometimes the stores would run out of blue and would sell violet ink. and i mean Violet, so rich that it would tire up your eyes after a few hours of writing/reading. it also had a horrible taste compared to the blue...

    I just ordered this pen (except the fatter version) in yellow gold and I also ordered the pilot falcon in lavender. They should be here on Monday. If I were you I would consider the pilot falcon because the nib is somewhat flexible so you can write calligraphy. I bought mine specifically to draw with when I do watercolor and to use for beautiful calligraphy. I share your excitement!!

    I have the Decimo in Champagne Pink with a Fine nib. It's so comfortable to use, no hard start to write! I love the design, it's innovative and beautifully made. I know some people have a problem with the clip being so close to the nib, but I'm finding no problem with it. The Fine nib seems more like an EF!

    • @documenting.the.journey
      @documenting.the.journey  ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, I love it too. The clip does not bother me. The EF is a touch scratchy and VERY fine. So I think the F is going to be wonderful for most people!

    Hi there!
    Just wanted to pop in here and say JetPens doesn't sell the Decimo with the converter anymore. I recently purchased the Decimo (F) in Pearl White and the notes say distinctly in bold that a converter is NOT included.
    However, it's super easy to refill the cartridge it comes with using a syringe. You can buy the CON 40 Pilot converter and use it like normal in any other Pilot pen, but I would avoid doing that. The ink capacity in the CON 40 is garbo. A Pilot cartridge seems to hold more ink! Unless you like a smaller resivoir--in that case all the power to you!
    Just a tip for those like myself who ink up a pen and like it to last longer than a few pages of writing. :)

    and how does one even choose the nib size on such an expansive pen, I can't decide because I love all nibs xD

      It was an investment for sure. I did a ton of research, watched a ton of videos and talked to a ton of people. I chose the EF because it’s closest to a .3, which I like more than a .5 in a gel pen. And the box is kinda boring huh? Lol.
