I've never used a vac-filler, but I fly overseas a lot - so far without mishap! A vac-filler seems like a smart choice for me. In this line, I like the Altifrons Green. Excellent review as always, Doug. Thank you.
I am so pleased to see the spread of the vac-fill mechanism. This pen is especially intriguing, despite the fact that it doesn’t really post, and I do like that ‘ocean/water/fishes’ feeds the color palette. All of the colors offered are especially good, though I am really drawn to the green-and its Amazon fish.
I'm just starting to learn enough about fountain pens to take it seriously and I'm so excited to find a hobby that I actually enjoy. This feels like such a niche interest but I've found such a cool community here.
I love the variety of Narwhal finishes! Elegant and so pleasant looking at the same time! I love the blue and the green one! That was so generous of them to provide you with the pens to test and offer.
I prefer the blue that you have, however the yellow is also quite handsome too! It’s amazing that they have made a vac filler for such a reasonable price
Its nice to win something, but I really appreciate your knowledge. I don't know why I like the technical people like you and Doodlebud, but I do. It's not only that you have that particular mindset, but that you also have a real appreciate of beauty and the joy that a fountain pen can bring into a person's life. Thanks for your videos.
Azureus Blue is my favourite colour for Nahvalur. Thanks for mentioning the engineering details of the pen, it is good to know this when deciding on what to get.
congrats Doug for another big achievement of getting 10k fp lovers in your group. All the pens are in elegant colors but blue and green are best to me. More important to me is the smooth nib. Meet you soon on 3rd december with good news .
This is a beautiful pen and the subtle swirls add a lovely touch, of all the colors I do think the blue is the best. I’ll be keeping my fingers crossed since the giveaway ends on my birthday! Huge thanks to you and Nahvalur for doing this
I find their nibs are super smooth even with dryer inks. I was really looking forward to this review since a vacuum filler at this price is enticing (would be my first).
I have to agree with you about Narwhal continuing to improve and not just the resins but the designs and quality in general. I like them more than I did before.
Your attention to form and function of this pen in particular remind me of a taxonomist describing a rare beatle from Darwin’s collection or of a new species of dinosaur from Mongolia. Of this particular pen I have not possessed this type of ink pump and would be more than delighted with the blue version. Btw, best wishes on your vacation.
I have a couple of the Narwhal pens and do truly enjoy the details with piston filling system. The original series of Schuylkill resins left me a bit disappointed, but the Dragonet Sapphire seems to have redeemed the brand. Is that vac fill all that it seems to be? Interesting? Yes indeed!
Azureus Blue for sure! So many shades of blue to show off with this pen. I have three Nahvalur/Narwhal pens, and I love them all. Also got an Asvine P20 after watching your insightful short video.
I only have 1 vac-filler (Asvine) but I am becoming a fan - I like the concept of locking the ink in so it won't leak! Of the four colours I am partial to the blue or green - I saw some photos on the internet that seem to show them better than the camera
Thanks Doug for another video and giveaway. It's always refreshing to hear your honesty in your videos and it's helped with many of my purchase decisions!
Vac fillers are generally quite expensive so the price was a pleasant surprise. The blue pen almost looks like the ocean with the swirls on it. Such a lovely pen.
Yes, but Wing Sung had a vac filler for less than 5 euros: the 2013. Still can be seen on Amazon, I believe. I have 4 colors, and they do write! Some of them with a little work, that's true, but less than 5 euros... 🙂
I'd have to go yellow with the gold hardware. I love this brand. Mine are all piston fillers, so far. I was very tempted by the Primary Macchiato edition they put out a while back. Delicious. Super rad video, as usual. Your channel rocks and continues to be a legitimate resource for the fountain pen (and music making) communities. 👑
Two of my favorite brands of recent vintage (or at least my purchases!) are Narwhal - now- Nahvalur and Leonardo! I wish they'd been around earlier in my ever long FP addiction -- I mean, "hobby"! Tough choice on color -- I'd have to go with the Altifrons Green.
As to colours, the purple is nice, but the blue swirl you've got is the best! I'm glad to hear that it shares parts with my 456. That would make life easier.
Interesting bit about the interchangeable parts. For me, I'd go with the Altifrons green, but if I were to get one for my wife it would have to be the Melacara purple. They all look really nice and I love vac filler pens.
When faced with choosing between four equally appealing colours, I usually rely on my instinct and choose the first one that seems right. However, this time I'm finding it difficult to choose between the Melacara Purple fountain pen and the others. To get out of this predicament, because my first fountain pen was purple, I am arbitrarily continuing the tradition by choosing purple. Thank you for comparing similar pens and checking whether their parts are compatible across brands. This is very useful.
I'm impressed with the way the Nahvalur folks keep improving their pens while still keeping them affordable. I'm a fan of the Gold Ocellatus resin in this model, but I hate gold hardware, so I'd probably go with the Altifrons Green.
That blue color is lovely! Thank you for explaining what each of the pen colors names are referring to, I didn't know that. I have the yellow one in a medium nib and it does not disappoint!!
What a lovely pen! Like you, I would choose the blue one. I didn’t know Nahvalur (I keep wanting to spell it “Narwhal”) made a vac-filler, but it’s lovely.
I would love to add the BLUE Nahvalur Original Plus to my modest collection of formerly- known-as-Narwhals. I have 2 Schuylkills and 2 Originals and each one writes beaufifully and feels great in hand.
I would have to say my favorite color of the Nahvalur Orginal + is that lovely Azureus Blue. Of course, I would love it if Nahvalur would expand their nib selections to include a true extra-fine nib. Incidentally, I have a Narwhal Peter Pen original edition that fell from my shirt pocket when bending over, landing on a tile floor. It broke at exactly that "break point" you indicated. Enjoy your trip to the lower 48 south of the 49th!
I had been considerin'g getting TWSBI Vac Filler for a while. Now I am considering this or the PEN BBS. I look forward to the shootout. I would also go with the Blue, but the green almost looks coke-bottle green which is kind of fun.
Although i had ink flow problems with vac fillers before, it seems like their shut off valve design is a bit different from others. I would love to test it myself :)
My favourite of the four colours would have to be the Gold Ocellatus. I think it'd be elegant and I wonder if it will make blue inks look green through the transparent yellow barrel. Wouldn't that be fun?
Thanks for the review. It does look like a very nice pen and my other Narwhal has a very nice nib. I like the green color as it looks like the Aurora acrylic of Penbbs.
Thank you, Doug. I'm a big green fan, so would select the Altifrons Green colour of the four. I have a vac filler pen, but didn't realise for a while that the valve needed opened when one wrote... I get on with itmuch better now!
I think the yellow pen is very pretty too! Thanks for going into so much detail, I would only prefer if you could say a bit more about the way a pen lies in the hand (i.e. grip circumference, slipperiness, balance). Thank you!
Interesting pen if not a bit expensive compared to the other options. Like you I would go for the blue, it's the least neon-y on the bunch, and I like calming colours.
I actually like the writing experience of the two Schuylkills I own, compared to many pens from much bigger manufacturers. I don't know if this is due to better quality control, some property that happens to match my preference, luck of the draw, or all of the above. I will be looking into this model.
Narwhal is value for money. Ocellatus is my favorite, like the gold trims. I have 2 Narwhals and enjoy both...but a vac filler is my choice for filling systems.
Wow! I've never heard of Nahvalur pens before. Looks like an interesting pen lineup. I believe my preference would be the Azurius Blue. Thanks for the chance to win one!
Oh this is a cool pen I've been wanting to try a vac filler. Almost got on of TWSBIs but didn't pull the plug because of the drama the pulled awhile ago.
Unfortunately I do not subscribe to Instagram or any of the social media platforms. I was on Facebook and was hacked. So, there you go. Beautiful pen. I thought about getting the Original plus but I have enough pens to keep me occupied for a while. Perhaps during 2023. It looks like it is up to the standards set by Nahvalur. I do like that the section can be unscrewed for maintenance. It would make cleaning the inside of the barrel easier. Great review, Doug.
I tried matching ink colors to pen colors but I almost always end up going back to black for everyday writing, so I’m going to select just by rarity. I have only one pen that might be considered purple, so I think I like the Melacara Purple.
Apparently they fixed their nib width, I have an original one with F nib and one in blue, like you tested here, also in F, but somehow they are as if the old F was in fact Medium. The newer one has a true Fine nib. Nonetheless, lovely pens and at that pricepoint, I'd say they are hard to beat. Also, congratulations on reaching 10k subs, keep up the work sir, we enjoy the content!
Great and complete review as always. I find all four colors to be certainly attractive and impactful. However I prefer Altifrons Green, since green is my favorite color.
I am eager to try this pen in purple with a fine nib. My favorite color is purple, my default when it’s hard to chose among beautiful colors. The blue and yellow swirl options are definitely note-worthy. I recently tried the Schuylkill in Chromis Teal. The pen is beautiful and felt good in hand, but I had a few issues with inconsistent flow. I tried your tips to increase flow by gently applying pressure to tines and noticed some improvement. But I think I should have gotten the F instead of M nib.
My favorite color is the azureus blue. Although I'd like to see a version of this pen with the cap and piston nob made of a resin like that of your schuykill dragonet sapphire 🤩
Another fine review! I’ve been partial to Narwhal since their initial release of the original pens. As for this new model, I like that blue swirly color that you used. Thanks for the vids & the giveaways! Hope you have a great vacation!
Love your videos. Narwhal seems to have good quality from the videos I've seen. Reposting as I thought there was a problem with my account, just turns out TH-cam gave me a handle with numbers on the end, so I fixed it.
Thanks for the comparison with PenBBS 456 posted - which is awaiting on my desk to be inked for the first time. Nahvalur seems to be designed long enough for no posting; does it feel heavier in the hand than 456? As this is my first vacuum filler, it feels heavy for a small pen. Ah, the colour. Usually I go for browns or reds, and here the one to attract my eye is the blue one. I hope they will update the collection with an amber colour, can be called "sepia"!
Hi, Doug. Great review as always! Thank you for your continued work bringing us top notch info. and tips. The consistency, humour, and refreshingly natural approach of these videos is a huge strength. (Oh, and I think my favourite one of these Narwhals/Nahvalurs is the azureus - those Romans knew a good blue when they saw one!).
PLEASE do NOT reply to the bogus spam scams! The giveaway does not happen until DECEMBER 3!
That's what I thought. Thanks for confirming.
Good man. It s a shame when people do things like this to honest generous people.
they are coming at me like wild fire! lol
Same things happened at Figboot's giveaway videos too.
@@jacobling2119 TH-cam needs to step up their protection protocol for their customers for sure!
I'm glad to see that Narwhal is still making pens in the under $100 range, where they originally started. That's definitely a beautiful blue pen!
I've never used a vac-filler, but I fly overseas a lot - so far without mishap! A vac-filler seems like a smart choice for me. In this line, I like the Altifrons Green. Excellent review as always, Doug. Thank you.
Thanks for sharing, Joan!
I am so pleased to see the spread of the vac-fill mechanism. This pen is especially intriguing, despite the fact that it doesn’t really post, and I do like that ‘ocean/water/fishes’ feeds the color palette. All of the colors offered are especially good, though I am really drawn to the green-and its Amazon fish.
Thank you, Mary!
I'm just starting to learn enough about fountain pens to take it seriously and I'm so excited to find a hobby that I actually enjoy. This feels like such a niche interest but I've found such a cool community here.
I love the variety of Narwhal finishes! Elegant and so pleasant looking at the same time! I love the blue and the green one! That was so generous of them to provide you with the pens to test and offer.
Thank you so much!
I love that there are so many affordable vacuum fillers coming to market. I'm loving the Azureus Blue, as I'm a sucker for anything blue
I prefer the blue that you have, however the yellow is also quite handsome too! It’s amazing that they have made a vac filler for such a reasonable price
Its nice to win something, but I really appreciate your knowledge. I don't know why I like the technical people like you and Doodlebud, but I do. It's not only that you have that particular mindset, but that you also have a real appreciate of beauty and the joy that a fountain pen can bring into a person's life. Thanks for your videos.
Thank you Songofthehealer. That is much appreciated!
Hard to choose a favorite color, but I think it will have to be the Gold Ocellatus. I believe it would show off yellow and gold inks very nicely.
The “drawback” is another advantage as I don’t like to post my pens. Love Nahvalur pens; I have several. Nice review, Doug. Enjoy California!
What a gorgeous pen! The purple is lovely. And vac fillers are nifty.
I really enjoy the blue color. I feel like it fits best as I think of the ocean when I hear the name Narwhal. Thanks and great review, Doug.
It's so cool thqt Nahvalur is putting out vac fillers now. Can't wait to get one. Thanks again for you review. Very informative.
Azureus Blue is my favourite colour for Nahvalur. Thanks for mentioning the engineering details of the pen, it is good to know this when deciding on what to get.
congrats Doug for another big achievement of getting 10k fp lovers in your group. All the pens are in elegant colors but blue and green are best to me. More important to me is the smooth nib. Meet you soon on 3rd december with good news .
I like it most in yellow. Don't have any vac fillers yet, so it'd be interesting to try. Thanks for the opportunity
The altifrons green really pops out, gorgeous !
Greateful as ever for your TH-cam channel contribution to us all fountain penthusiasts.
I favour all the colours this pen model offers
I loved the schyulkill and I'll trust your review again for this pen. It's a beautiful pen.
This is a beautiful pen and the subtle swirls add a lovely touch, of all the colors I do think the blue is the best. I’ll be keeping my fingers crossed since the giveaway ends on my birthday! Huge thanks to you and Nahvalur for doing this
I find their nibs are super smooth even with dryer inks. I was really looking forward to this review since a vacuum filler at this price is enticing (would be my first).
I have to agree with you about Narwhal continuing to improve and not just the resins but the designs and quality in general. I like them more than I did before.
Didn’t know that Nahvalur has vac filler now. Thanks for the review!
You bet!
Such a beautiful vaccum filler pen. Also, they are not expensive.
I would definitely choose the blue one. Great Review. Told every detail of the pen
Your attention to form and function of this pen in particular remind me of a taxonomist describing a rare beatle from Darwin’s collection or of a new species of dinosaur from Mongolia. Of this particular pen I have not possessed this type of ink pump and would be more than delighted with the blue version. Btw, best wishes on your vacation.
Thanks for the detailed unboxing. I do adore demonstrators.
I have a couple of the Narwhal pens and do truly enjoy the details with piston filling system. The original series of Schuylkill resins left me a bit disappointed, but the Dragonet Sapphire seems to have redeemed the brand. Is that vac fill all that it seems to be? Interesting? Yes indeed!
I am tossed between the Narhwal Schuylkill in Dragonet Sapphire and the Original Plus in Melacara Purple. Cannot miss picking either one
Azureus Blue for sure! So many shades of blue to show off with this pen. I have three Nahvalur/Narwhal pens, and I love them all. Also got an Asvine P20 after watching your insightful short video.
I only have 1 vac-filler (Asvine) but I am becoming a fan - I like the concept of locking the ink in so it won't leak! Of the four colours I am partial to the blue or green - I saw some photos on the internet that seem to show them better than the camera
I like the yellow color the best. It seemed the most transparent version.
Thanks Doug for another video and giveaway. It's always refreshing to hear your honesty in your videos and it's helped with many of my purchase decisions!

Sweet pens. I appreciate your comprehensive reviews. My favourite colour is Gold Ocellatus. Sweet. Distinctive.
I'd have to go yellow with the gold hardware. I love this brand. Mine are all piston fillers, so far. I was very tempted by the Primary Macchiato edition they put out a while back. Delicious.
Super rad video, as usual. Your channel rocks and continues to be a legitimate resource for the fountain pen (and music making) communities. 👑
Right on! Thanks, Dean!
I love my 3 narwhal pens and their smooth nibs. Very interested in the vac filler, the blue seems very nice.
Two of my favorite brands of recent vintage (or at least my purchases!) are Narwhal - now- Nahvalur and Leonardo! I wish they'd been around earlier in my ever long FP addiction -- I mean, "hobby"! Tough choice on color -- I'd have to go with the Altifrons Green.
Looks great. I may have to get one. I have experienced the BBS breakage exactly where you described.
Great review! My favorite is Altifrons green !
As to colours, the purple is nice, but the blue swirl you've got is the best!
I'm glad to hear that it shares parts with my 456. That would make life easier.
I totally agree!
Interesting bit about the interchangeable parts. For me, I'd go with the Altifrons green, but if I were to get one for my wife it would have to be the Melacara purple. They all look really nice and I love vac filler pens.
Good call!
Hi Doug, thank you for the review, also I like how navalur naming their colour based on the sea creatures.
That Azureus Blue is my favorite. Glad to see Narwhal improve the design of their pens. Pen seems long enough to use unposted.
I recently purchased a Narwhal and love it. Love watching your videos too. I usually sway toward green but I like the blue better. Thanks Doug
I have such a soft spot for Narwhal's green pens. The previous original line was my first real fountain pen
Love me some Nahvalur pens. Beautiful colors, smooth nibs and solid pens. Thanks for another great video Doug. Keep up the great work.
I would like to see a review that compares this pen with the Asvine v126 or v200.
When faced with choosing between four equally appealing colours, I usually rely on my instinct and choose the first one that seems right. However, this time I'm finding it difficult to choose between the Melacara Purple fountain pen and the others. To get out of this predicament, because my first fountain pen was purple, I am arbitrarily continuing the tradition by choosing purple.

I got to try a Narwhal fountain pen at the Baltimore pen show this year and have it on my Fountain Pen wishlist. Thanks for the giveaway, Doug.
The Melacara is lovely! ❤
That blue color is lovely! Thank you for explaining what each of the pen colors names are referring to, I didn't know that. I have the yellow one in a medium nib and it does not disappoint!!
I love Narwhals….both pen and animal. I have a few Narwhals and love how smooth they right. I’m a sucker for blue pens. Great review.
I bought the Narwhal Cult Pens exclusive pen, and it's lovely. Thanks for the generous giveaway!
What a lovely pen! Like you, I would choose the blue one. I didn’t know Nahvalur (I keep wanting to spell it “Narwhal”) made a vac-filler, but it’s lovely.
I would love to add the BLUE Nahvalur Original Plus to my modest collection of formerly- known-as-Narwhals. I have 2 Schuylkills and 2 Originals and each one writes beaufifully and feels great in hand.
Really nice like all Narwhal fountain pens. I'm going to say I like the yellow in thus series. It is a subtle color and has matching nib color.
Hi Doug! That vacuum pen is very nice. The azure blue looks great!
I would have to say my favorite color of the Nahvalur Orginal + is that lovely Azureus Blue. Of course, I would love it if Nahvalur would expand their nib selections to include a true extra-fine nib.

Enjoy your trip to the lower 48 south of the 49th!
Yeah I wouldn't have put that metal band right there. It belongs on the cap.
Thanks for the review! I like the blue one
Pretty pen, I prefer vacuum over piston fillers, they are more fun to use.
I had been considerin'g getting TWSBI Vac Filler for a while. Now I am considering this or the PEN BBS. I look forward to the shootout. I would also go with the Blue, but the green almost looks coke-bottle green which is kind of fun.

Thanks for the review and proper filling technique, I’ve never owned a vacuum filler. For me azureus blue would be my choice.
Thanks for the review. It does look like a very nice pen and my other Narwhal has a very nice nib. I like the green color as it looks like the Aurora acrylic of Penbbs.
Thank you, Doug. I'm a big green fan, so would select the Altifrons Green colour of the four. I have a vac filler pen, but didn't realise for a while that the valve needed opened when one wrote... I get on with itmuch better now!
Nice looking pen. I did not know that the vac mechanism is the same as the PenBBS 456. Blue for sure.
I think the yellow pen is very pretty too! Thanks for going into so much detail, I would only prefer if you could say a bit more about the way a pen lies in the hand (i.e. grip circumference, slipperiness, balance). Thank you!
Noted!
Interesting pen if not a bit expensive compared to the other options. Like you I would go for the blue, it's the least neon-y on the bunch, and I like calming colours.
I agree. And when filled with ink it is much darker.
I actually like the writing experience of the two Schuylkills I own, compared to many pens from much bigger manufacturers. I don't know if this is due to better quality control, some property that happens to match my preference, luck of the draw, or all of the above. I will be looking into this model.
As usual a great review. I especially like the revelation of your pen wrench.
Cartridge/converters have their place, but I like pen manufactures that explore other filling methods.
Very nice pen and as always, nice video from you. Keep going!
I have yet to get a vacuum filler and this calls to me as right now the Pilot 823 is way more expensive haha Great video Doug. The Blue to me wins.
Love this! Thank you!
I actually enjoy all the colors. I think the swirls are a nice touch to add some pizzazz without being overbearing 🎉
Narwhal is value for money. Ocellatus is my favorite, like the gold trims. I have 2 Narwhals and enjoy both...but a vac filler is my choice for filling systems.
Thanks, Stac!
Thanks Doug, always a pleasure to hear your two cents… another great review. Enjoy your trip over the border.
Thanks, Nelson!
Wow! I've never heard of Nahvalur pens before. Looks like an interesting pen lineup. I believe my preference would be the Azurius Blue. Thanks for the chance to win one!
Good luck!
Oh this is a cool pen I've been wanting to try a vac filler. Almost got on of TWSBIs but didn't pull the plug because of the drama the pulled awhile ago.
Unfortunately I do not subscribe to Instagram or any of the social media platforms. I was on Facebook and was hacked. So, there you go.
Beautiful pen. I thought about getting the Original plus but I have enough pens to keep me occupied for a while. Perhaps during 2023. It looks like it is up to the standards set by Nahvalur. I do like that the section can be unscrewed for maintenance. It would make cleaning the inside of the barrel easier.
Great review, Doug.
Thank you, Paul!
Hi Doug! Thanks for another giveaway! I think, that Azureus Blue is the best color for this model
Tnx for review Doug. Pen looking really great. Don't have narwhal but i like this design. Blue is my favorite 😁
My pleasure!
I tried matching ink colors to pen colors but I almost always end up going back to black for everyday writing, so I’m going to select just by rarity. I have only one pen that might be considered purple, so I think I like the Melacara Purple.
Apparently they fixed their nib width, I have an original one with F nib and one in blue, like you tested here, also in F, but somehow they are as if the old F was in fact Medium.

Love these giveaways. Thanks for another great review!
Thank you for sharing. I enjoy your intros quite a bit. You play my favorite songs! Take care 😊
Thanks, you too!
I like the blue the best. I think some clearer colors tend to look cheesy.
Good review and this seems like a fantastic fountain pen.
Great and complete review as always. I find all four colors to be certainly attractive and impactful. However I prefer Altifrons Green, since green is my favorite color.
Great review and enjoyed the tip on how to get a full fill with a vac filler pen! My favorite color of the line is the purple. 😊
I am eager to try this pen in purple with a fine nib. My favorite color is purple, my default when it’s hard to chose among beautiful colors. The blue and yellow swirl options are definitely note-worthy. I recently tried the Schuylkill in Chromis Teal.

Ah, the colour. Usually I go for browns or reds, and here the one to attract my eye is the blue one. I hope they will update the collection with an amber colour, can be called "sepia"!
The Nahvalur is heavier by around 5 grams.
Azureus Blue is my favourite. Good to see the improvement, thanks for your detailed review though
My pleasure!
Great review, that is an elegant pen ! Amazing giveaway, count me in ! Cheers
