Aww thank you so much for sharing, Karyna!! I’m so happy you like your fountain pen!! It was so wonderful to meet you and sit at your table at PGP! I still have yet to dive in all my goodies but I am so, so excited!! ☺️❤️
I ordered a fountain pen from The Angel Shoppe last week. It’ll be in the mail soon, can’t wait. I’d never heard of this store before but I’m really glad she started selling fountain pens!
Hi! I just subscribed to your wonderful channel. Great job on your reviews. Personally, I have 3 Pilot Preras in the dark espresso brown. I have been eyeing that white cream version. Your pen is so classic.
Thank you for the video! I have 3 Preras in their demonstrator colors and they are some of my favorite pens. I just love how small they are and I love the snap cap, it’s almost like a fidget toy for me lol.
Thank you!!! The inks are soooo nice!! The shimmers… and color variations… 😍😍 I haven’t tried the Pilot prera. I’ve seen that they only have the demonstrator ones (transparent) in most of the online pen shops. That ivory color is really a nice color. I might just check it out next time… Thank you for these! ❤️🙏
I loooove the Troublemaker inks. Have several already and they're lovely. Such interesting colours. Another new ink at Wonderpens is Dominant Industry, also interesting.
Aaaand I’ve added that Prera to my Christmas list. I started my 5 year journal before I got into fountain pens and the paper only works with my EF kakuno which means that pen s always inked. I wouldn’t mind upgrading the body but I haven’t loved any of the clear Preras but I think the ivory is a winner.
I also have the Pilot Prera in Ivory and I love it. FYI Jet Pens in the US carries the Prera in Ivory and a few other solid colors. As for the Angel pen, I suppose it's cheap enough that one should not complain, but anyone who designs a no-name fountain pen around a proprietary cartridge is creating a needless obstacle for buyers. That would be a deal breaker for me (unless they made it possible to get a converter).
Good to know about JetPens - it is just shipping and customs that trip me up each time. And I agree with you about the proprietary cartridge - I may just clean out and refill the cartridge or keep this one permanently inked with black.
Regarding your first pen - it looks like the cartridge may be a 3.4mm size from China, but it is tought to tell while it is seated. If so, and depending on the design of the back end of the feed / grip section, it may be possible to fit Lamy, Parker, and/or PenBBS carts and converters. It may take a bit of experimentation (i.e. inky fingers) to be sure of the exact fit.
As a fountain pen newbie I love the Pilot Prera! I wish more people loved it and talked about it!
It is a great pen! Too small for me but the writing experience is fantastic!
@@KarynaLovesToPlan Yes, I have smaller hands so write (!) now I prefer the smaller pens. Such a smooth writer for me.
Ooo I can’t wait!! That pen in the thumbnail looks so goodddddd
Thanks Charmaine!!!
Lovely video, Karyna! I appreciate all your time with pens and inks, I have learned so much from you! Off to ink shop😍😍😍
I'm so glad!

I really like how you swatch your inks! Your swatch book looks so cute!
Thanks Bernadette! It is a fun journal and I cannot wait until it is finished!
All of those ink samples are beautiful!
I always love these videos!
Thank you Genevieve!! They are my favourite too!
Just purchased the Prera in vibrant pink!
Yay!!! Enjoy!

Hope you enjoy it!
I was with you on Emerald de Chivor. Now I get why. Gorgeous!

Thanks for the sub!
My fave thing about the Pilot Prera is the capping mechanism! So satisfying!
Also. TMR Kelp Tea's one of my go to's!
Yes the capping mechanism is 👌🏼!!
I’m mentally drooling over these 🥹

Yes the snapping is so fun!! It is such an underrated pen!
The prera F is my absolute favorite! I have tried other brands/pens and none compare to its comfortable experience and line width 🤩
Yes I love the Prera!!!
Thank you!!! The inks are soooo nice!! The shimmers… and color variations… 😍😍

Thank you for these! ❤️🙏
I was like you - not a fan of the demonstrator Prera’s but love these opaque ones!
@@KarynaLovesToPlan I just made an impulse buy from jet pens… and I got the Pilot Prera in ivory… 😁
I love kelp tea! Actual kelp tea is very popular here as a fertilizer for gardens. I'll have to pick up that ink some time! 😂
It's such a good one!
Sadly, Lady Rose in Gold was very limited, and cant be found. I love the Angel pen!
Aww that is sad!! Hopefully they restock!

I did see the Dominant Industry ones and they were so interesting! Definitely need to try a few samples!!
Did you ever find a converter that works on the TAS Fountain Pen?
No unfortunately!

This is so helpful! Thank you! I will definitely give the ones you suggested a try!
