Stationery Review 230 - Deli Honour Fountain Pen Ink (RED) ZAR 40

Hi Friends, 

I bought this Deli Honour Fountain Pen Ink in Red colour for ZAR 40 from Mellows Stationery Shop F09 in China Mall, Johannesburg. If you buy 10 pieces of the ink, then it will only cost you ZAR 30 for a 30ml bottle. But I will wait for all the ink colours to arrive before venturing into that. Check it out!

As showcased in the video, this ink is very similar to the ones we have had from Lamy T52 and Pelikan 4001 in Red colour. This is a great way to start the journey with fountain pens.

Stationery Review 228 - Pilot Vpen Fountain Pen (M) ZAR 80

Hi Friends, 

Pilot Vpen is a disposable fountain pen that comes in various colours of ink. The pen is filled with ink in its barrel and has a huge ink capacity. This one lasts longer than any other fountain pen, as the ink capacity is definitely between 3.5 to 5ml at least. These pens are available at Sandton Stationery & Print Shop in Sandton City Mall. These are priced at around ZAR 80, and you can get them for around ZAR 65. Check them out! These were provided to us by Sandton Stationery & Print for this video so many thanks to them for the same.

The Pilot sells these pens as disposable fountain pens, but if you have the tools and the inks, then you can experiment by taking out the feed mechanism and filling the ink tank again. It's really easy, but you need the pliers, etc, along with something soft to not destroy the mechanism. I have done it before and will showcase to you as well on these pens soon enough.

Stationery Review 227 - Endless Phantom Retractable Fountain Pen (EF) USD 40

Hi Friends, 

I bought this Endless Phantom Retractable Fountain Pen in EF nib using a Kickstarter campaign, and I was the 17th one when the orders opened. Check it out!

Stationery Review 227 - Endless Phantom Retractable Fountain Pen (EF) USD 40
 
Endless is a brand from Madras (now Chennai) in India. They create Journals and pen cases along with a lot of inks and sometimes fountain pens. This is their second or third pen, and this was on Kickstarter with people supporting them with overflowing orders. I, too, was really excited to order one for myself. 

I really love the design of the pen; the glossy black body looks great. The pen has a perfect weight and balance in your hands. The nib comes out nicely from its shell. The mechanism can take both cartridges and comes packed with an ink converter. I also got Alchemy Candy Sea Ink as part of the initial Kickstarter campaign orders. The packaging of Endless Stationery products is always supreme. I really love their innovative design of the packaging and the products. Be it an ink bottle and its cork stand, and the same was seen for this pen that came in a cork case, which can also work as a pen stand or display. 

My choice of nib was EF (Extra fine), but as and when I filled the ink into the pen, though it writes very thin but the scratch noise is there. It's not as smooth as you will find in the pens from Pilot and Platinum in EF nib. Also, I feel the nib is not getting enough support from the grip section, and it feels like it can break if I push it harder. I am a very soft writer as I don't put pressure on any nib much, but still, I am not confident about the EF nib on this one. Once the other people who have ordered EF nibs get theirs, then the reviews will start pouring in, and I was in the second lot of orders, which were dispatched to an Indian address. 

Let me know what your experience with the pen is.

Stationery Review 226 - Platignum Vibe Fountain Pen (M) GBP 10.50

Hi Friends, 

Platignum Vibe fountain pen comes in two colours - white and matte black, and I got both of them. When you have the same kind of pens, you can change the covers according to your preferences, as shown in the video. Check it out!

Stationery Review 226 - Platignum Vibe Fountain Pen (M) GBP 10.50

Platignum Vibe is priced at around GBP 10.50, but if you pay 2.50 pounds more, you can buy a better pen in the form of Platignum Studio. But the size and shape of both the pens are different. Also, the colours Vibe is available in are Matte Black and Matte White, whereas Studio is available in several awesome glossy colours. 

The Platignum Vibe is very similar in body design to the Cross Pens, whereas Platignum Studio is similar to the Pilot Metropolitan Range.
