The fineal of M2 has two cats, black and white, in the shape of yin/yang.

Thanks for the review, Chris. I've been tempted to buy the v200 for awhile. With this new one, I may finally do that!

Super excited about this review! I was so tempted by the rainbow version. But i wasnt going to order until i saw what you thought. 🎉 thank you for yet another wonderful review, Oh Captain, my Captain!

Nice review Chris, that one is pretty colorful with that anodizing. I have an unadorned version that I enjoy. It's been a while since I've used mine, but I was under the impression that the section can unscrew from the body, thus allowing one to eyedropper the pen if desired. If my recall is incorrect, I have a different way of getting a full fill.

Great video as always and my day is going great…even better since watching this! You have the first review of this! Love the colors! The o-rings in blue are a classic touch! How was the steel nib anodized.

Ok, this pen rules.

I just bought and filled this pen yesterday! I was wondering if you offer your restoration services to the public? How much would you charge to restore pens of subscribers? I noticed you said you were restoring a sentimental one for a viewer I believe

Hi! I really like your videos! I’m new to the word of vintage fountain pens but I find them really cool and I’m excited to explore this new hobbie. I’d like to restore a few pens I got from my late grandmothers estate and I’m a little lost and don’t know where to get supplies! Do you know where I can find ink sacks for old pens and spare parts?

Hi there! Love the pen, great video! I’m an excited new vintage Schaefer pen enthusiast. I have a few pens I inherited from different family members and am looking to get into restoring them. I took one apart and soaked the parts but the old ink bag is broken. Do you know where I can get a new one? Do they have something on Amazon that would work or is it a specialty store item? Do I need to buy real vintage ones? Also the ink bag was all that was inside the pen.. do you know if it is missing other parts?

I have two Asvine V200s and I enjoy them. However, the fill you get is far more than I can ever achieve. My V126 fills much better and I don't know why.

Thanks Chris for soldering on in the great fight of exposing that great pens need not be overly inflated in hype or price

I like the anodized one much better than the original. That ink you're using its really nice.

Very pretty!

Just as I'm trying to be on a hiatus from buying pens... 😂 How was my day? Pretty decent. Was a day I could kick back and relax. But I'm off and running tomorrow, again. After breakfast and a coffee, it's phone call after phone call for various reasons, and Tuesday is another doctor's appointment. How was your day?

Hello Chris, busy morning here; I just sat down to rest and cool off from the midday heat when I was pleasantly surprised to find your latest review. Regardless of whether I like the pen or not, I always enjoy your examinations and closing exhortations. To you I wish a continued happy and relaxed retirement with enough motivation to keep sending us these very useful reviews. Enjoy your Sunday afternoon. 🇨🇦

Where can we buy it? I can't find it online.

Hey Chris! Wonderful review. I’ve already got the basic version so I will skip on this one, but it may be a great gift 😀. Btw: you can unscrew the whole grip section in asvine v200 if you want to clean the pen. No need to remove nib collar and use syringe like with p36.

Thank you, Chris for the overview of the V200 rainbow. I do like my unadorned V200. I like titanium pens in general. I have not thought about an anodized version, though Inkquiring Minds and Doodlebud have done their own anodization. It does provide visual interest. I usually get one version of any particular model of a pen. I just do not have the space to have all the variants. If I find a new version of a model I have, I sell the old version. The only exception is the Visconti Ragtime. I have two, one celluloid and one resin.

Don't be shy. Leave a comment. How's your day?

I have recently bought this pen from Etsy . Very nice pen with a comfortable grip for long writing .The nib has a bit of feedback and is not scratchy at all. Ebonite feed with no 8 size nib is not very common with under $30 pen . I have ordered a fine nib and am very happy with the purchase❤

beautiful

Bought one in stainless steel & chrome <M> on Prime Days. Great sale of a great pen! Love this pen! Writes like a dream.

I really appreciate your video. I was messing with the settings and somehow turned my speedometer off where it doesn't read the speed do you know which settings fixes this?

Always so bright and cheerful. We always had zinnias up north. I don't think I've seen any in Florida.

Great video, i was interested to see how to separate the barrel from the nib section ,as my waterman 512 v was shellacd on . Thanks for sharing this 😊

You know I love the 267! I love the desk pen style very much. i am currently awaiting the delivery of my first Ranga desk pen. i ordered it from Fountain Pen Revolution. I didnt realize they made a pen in this style until this week, recovering from lame covid. i got it in ebonite. super excited to get it in my hands. Have you had experience with their desk pen before?

My wife created a flower bed where we used to have a shed, known as the Shed Bed and it is filled with Zinnias. Beautiful flowers with amazing varieties. We also keep a pot of them next to the house to watch the butterflies, finches and hummingbirds ear the seeds and nectar.

Hi Chris, nice and bright 4k colors. (I guess it is a new Sony camera). For ink I am looking for a bright red that can show off its beauty in a clear eye-dropped barrel and also come across bright on good FP paper. Your time stamp colors in 0:49 to 0:55 look very attractive. I have just started collecting a few inks and in red I only tried Waterman’s Audacious Red so far. What reds can you recommend? Please keep the videos coming but still I wish you to enjoy a happy and relaxed retirement. 🍁

Thank you SO MUCH for this video! I never knew this about Zinnias! They are remarkable flowers. Thanks for sharing! They are most beautiful and your pics so up close are fantastic! I know which flowers Im buying next!

Looking good!

Asvine has released the P20 in a color they call Gradient Yellow, which looks like the Hawaii resin

This is a pen I inherited from my artist father, who used pens like this to accent his water colour portraits. I don't use it, because it's an heirloom, but it's in pristine condition. I'm tempted to ink it up...

Thank you for the review. I've got mine recently. It writes well but I don't succeed to lock the piston! Is it therefore that the pen does not post?

Hi Chris I bought asvine v126 and would like to swap nibs with something very wide like a 1.9 mm calligraphy nib. I can simply remove the nib without removing the feeder. Would you be able to tell me which nibs are compatible with this pen?

I just got my second P20 and again it does not disappoint. A $30 pen. And you can get an expensive pen and it could write like crap, but these....NOPE!!!! These pens really surprised me how smooth they write. They have no flaws out of the box.

OMGosh such a cute little thing.

Great review; I don’t know how I missed this till now. Thank you Chris for covering everything that this world of affordable pens offers and that we enjoy so much. Bravo! 🇨🇦

I LOVE my Pelikano jr!!!!!! That and my MB 149 are the only pens I use. I love it as much as my 149!

Nice to see one of my people on your feeder! I think if it were a little easier to use, my parents would like this. They love feeding hummingbirds. But the technology to get the videos and pictures would challenge them!

Thats so cool. Only once I saw hummingbirds in my backyard in S.I.

I hate piston fillers. They are painful to clean. These are nice pens regardless.

This is so cool. Thanks for sharing. Do you know if hummingbird feeders attract other critters? We had mice a few years back and I’ve heard that traditional feeders can attract mice. I was thinking that maybe a hummingbird feeder might be an option?

Amazing video! Our Zinnias attract Hummingbirds.

Beautiful, Chris! Thanks for sharing.

Hey Chris! Another great video, and I'm glad to see that my inks are working for you. Thanks for showing them off again 😊 The p20 looks great... im a fan of the orange one. Just about to board my flight at Sea-Tac!

The Chinese pen manufacturers seem to finally be realizing that westerners pefer wider nibs, and even if they still call them fine, they seem to be wider.

I like the P20 very much. It was my first Asvine and I think it was the first model offered by the company. I have enjoyed most of their pens. I reserve judgement on the P36. This version with the Hawai'i resin is very nice. It is very bright and does bring images of the tropics to me. Very good review, Chris.

“Some people shouldn’t buy fountain pens (if they aren’t happy with resins not matching 100%)”….lol…well said! We are fortunate we can get gorgeous acrylics in wonderfully made pens that write smoothly for under $40!

Also looks like there was one on “Moon River” that was briefly listed!

Great review. I got one of the new P20s in what looks like PenBBS color 'Berries'. What a great pen. It's everything that PenBBS could have been. My first P20 in one of the blue colors had a large chunk of the barrel fall out.
