V126 Vacuum Filling Fountain Pen Medium Nib, Frosted Transparent Clear Acrylic, Large-Capacity with Gift Case

I collect (and use) fountain pens. I have a few Asvine models and always fine them extremely well made and easy to use. However, this one I have found a little difficult to get used to. It writes ok and is a nice looking pen. I find it hard to pinpoint what I find disappointing with the V126, but, it isn't my favorite Asvine. Possibly it's just the pen I received, but, there are better models from this manufacturer in my opinion. EDIT 19/10/25: I’ve been using this fountain pen for a while now and am finding I’m really starting to fully enjoy it now. I’ve restored my rating to 5 stars as this is actually a very good pen. I would now highly recommend it as an inexpensive but excellent pen.

The Asvine V126 fountain pen is a pen that I bought for sketching. It has a frosted transparent body that shows the ink level and the mechanism inside. It has a vacuum filling system that draws ink from the bottle and holds a lot of ink. It has an extra fine nib that is smooth and good for sketching, but it has no line variation. It writes well on different papers, but it may leak or burp sometimes. It has a screw-on cap and a clip that are secure and functional. It has a comfortable weight and balance that feels good in the hand. It writes first time every time without any hard start or skipping. I give this pen five out of five stars and I would recommend it to anyone who likes transparent and reliable pens.

This pen has a lovely nib and wrote well out of the box, but the thread for the cap is not great, I find it misses connecting and sticks quite often, I think the machining of the threads eas off. Not bad enough to reject the pen but a lot little disappointing.

Lovely pen! It looks great and the writing experience is super smooth, well above the price point.

Very good quality, writes flawlessly.

My leaks and only seems to hold a little ink.

This is a lovely pen, I filled it with ink this morning, no mess and it writes beautifully, I'm using Diamine ink and it flows of the nib really smoothly. It has lots of options for filling, vacume, piston, converter, cartridge and eye dropper. It has the EF nib and it's perfect. Worth adding to your collection. I write like a chimp with broken fingers but a good fountain pen makes my hand writing look quite neat. Worth the money.

This could so easily have been my go-to fountain pen. It's ergonomic, well-balanced, a good weight, lovely to behold & retails at an excellent price. There's also some helpful advice online about to how to get a full ink-fill via its vacuum filling mechanism. Neat. Why then did I return mine? I simply found the EF nib too wet, even when using a drier ink. Not least, the line it produced was more of a Fine-to-Medium. I tried to tweak it, but to no avail. I compared the Asvine V126 EF nib to my Kaweco & Lamy EF nibs, as well as cheaper EF Pilot fountain pens. If I wanted a Fine-to-Medium nib, that's what I would've chosen. But for those who don't mind a wider EF nib even when compared to certain Western brands (let alone Japanese), this fountain pen seems well worth checking out. It may well suit you as it evidently has many others. - One star knocked off for the relatively broad EF nib.

Envío rapidísimo. Buena relación calidad-precio. Escribe muy suave con un punto medio-fino. Es fluida, lo que es magnífico, y es capaz de escribir con el plumín invertido con un punto extra fino. Su capacidad de tinta es enorme, sobre todo si conoces el truco para conseguir una carga completa. Los acabados son muy buenos y es cómoda. Postea bien. No merece la pena gastar más dinero, hay plumas que cuadriplican su precio sin ofrecer más. El plumín es rígido, yo preferiría un plumín más blando. Faltan opciones de plumín grueso y "stub" o itálico, ese es su único punto negativo. Resumiendo, es un excelente producto y muy bien construido por su precio. Existen muy contadas opciones ligeramente más baratas con este sistema de carga pero no tienen su calidad de construcción.

Llevo coleccionando y utilizando exclusivamente plumas fuente durante los pasados 6 años, tengo plumas que van desde una Lamy Safaria hasta una Namiki emperor, Las plumas Asvine son excelentes para el uso diario en oficina, y su precio hace que no duela cuando la prestas a alguien y la tira o daña la pluma de alguna manera, (experiencia propia). Este modelo es excelente, tiene una punta mediana que escribe muy suavemente, un diseño muy bonito similar a otras plumas como la 823, esta V126 es un poco más pequeña y la punta igual es más pequeña que la #15 de Pilot.

Top!

This is my first vacuum filler pen, and so far, I love it. :) It's nice to see a vacuum filler that won't break the bank. Before this, I've preferred to eyedropper my pens, when I could, but vacuum filling is more convenient and far less likely to be messy. Its form is very similar to the Pilot Custom 823, but at a fraction of the price. The nib isn't scratch, but it has just enough bite to let you know you're using a fountain pen instead of a ballpoint or rollerball. I would say the feedback is a little lighter than a well-used pencil. The writing experience itself has been flawless so far. I've had it about a week, and it's never had a false start. As soon as you put pen to paper, it's ready to go, smooth as silk. Right now I'm using blue Iroshizuku ink. The pen seems to like it just fine. It's well-balanced, and doesn't feel heavy in the hand, but it's heavy enough to feel substantial. It's apparently possible to eyedropper the V126, but it involves using O-rings and silicone grease, so I haven't done it. The ink capacity of this pen is such that I wouldn't really feel a need. There's only one thing I can really ding it for: I would've liked a metal clip that was either gold or silver colored. The other colors for this pen have clips that are a bit more elegant than the matte black of this one. That's not enough of an issue that I'd take a point off for it, though.

Die Füllfeder ist wirklich sehr schön und hochwertig für den Preis. Wenn man sie mit etwas Geschick schafft voll zu füllen, passen doch fast 2,5ml rein, was sehr lange hält. Der Tintenfluss ist, wenn man sich im Klaren ist, dass man das Vakuum-Ventil gelegentlich öffnen soll, sehr gut - eher Nass. Skipping ist bei sehr glatten Papier manchmal ein Problem, da die Feder sehr poliert ist aber es hält sich nach ein wenig einschreiben wirklich in Grenzen und auf normalem Papier ist kaum der Fall. Dafür schreibt sie wirklich ungemein weich. Nun, Extra Fein ist sie vielleicht nicht ganz mit diesem eher üppigen Tintenfluss. Eher western-fine bis medium oder japanese-medium, je nach Tinte natürlich. Da ich eh eine Sheen-Tinte (Diamine Bloody Absynth: dunkelgrün mit pinkem Sheen) reingeben wollte, passt mir das eh gut, da der Sheen wirklich gut zur Geltung kommt. Diese Tinte kann jedenfalls auch gut der Grund für das Skipping und hard starting, das manchmal auftrat, sein. Die ist eher mürrisch und zäh (aber sooo schön!) Für diesen Preis kann man nichts falsch machen, so lange man weiß, was man hier kauft und wie man damit umgeht. Lieber bissl recherchieren vorher im Zweifelsfall. Befüllen braucht Fingerspitzengefühl und wird schnell zur Sauerei. Wem das zu blöd ist, der kann sie auch als Eyedropper mit Verschlussventil verwenden. Optimal jedoch zum Reisen bzw. generell für unterwegs!
