Asvine V126 Vacuum Filling Fountain Pen, Matte Black Acrylic Fine Nib, Large-Capacity Pen with Gift Case

I haven't used it extensively, but In the short time I've owned the Asvine V126, I've enjoyed using it very much. Of course I put a green ink into a Transparent Green Pen, and I picked up J. Herbin Vert de Gris—a lovely ink and it flows flawlessly from the Asvine's stainless steel, surprisingly bouncy nib. I bought the Fine nib and it's a smooth writer with a little flex to it, and the feed is juicy enough to cope with laying down a nice amount of ink to show of the shading of the ink I chose without skipping, and not once has this pen failed to start first time even after more than a few days idle.I really can't recommend this pen highly enough, especially if you've been looking at the V800 as well and consider it to be a bit too girthy—the V126 seems identical but slimmer and possessing a #6 Nib instead of the whopping #8.

I now have 4 of these pens in different nib sizes, and they are all absolutely superb. They easily rival my Pilot Custom 823 in functionality, aesthetics, and reliability. This EF nib is silky smooth and has a perfect ink flow, making it versatile enough to be used in a Hobonichi grid planner or on a standard piece of A4 printer paper. The size and heft of the pen are perfect for my hand (size 9), and when you consider that this pen costs one-tenth of the price of the Pilot Custom 823 that it mimics, it offers amazing value for money.

Asvine V126 Is a mature surprise of a fountain pen. It is sturdy, smooth and refined like an ocean liner moving through tropical waters. I was so surprised at it's sophisticated elegance. I filled it with a Diamine aqua blue that flows out of the nib controlled, fullfilling and decoratively bespoke.

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.

I cannot get enough of this pen. The ink capacity is insane, and the nib is amazing - so smooth and juicy! The semi transparent body is dreamy, and the fact that this pen costs less than a meal out nowadays is unbeatable.

Piston seal came away after the 3rd time of filling the pen. Disassembled barrel however it immediately did the same thing. Design flaw or defect you decide?

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.

I bought the translucent frosted white with a fine nib, a couple of weeks after having bought the translucent frosted black version, with an extra-fine nib. The latter writes quite well, if only after the black coating had fully worn off the tip of the nib, and after carrying out multiple flushing operations of the pen using distilled water. I love the vacuum filling system and the overall look and feel of both pens. However, the writing experience with both these pens is far from ideal. The clear frosted pen is a problem pen, and not much fun to write with. This was because of misaligned tines on the nib out of the box, which I was able to fix myself. The nibs of both pens are smooth writers, but require more hand pressure than I am accustomed to, which makes them quite fatiguing for long writing sessions. The instructions state that the blind cap be unscrewed fully to ensure ink flow to the feed. In practice, I’ve found that even after following that advice, the ink does not flow readily into the void left between the plunger and the feed. So, periodically I have to jiggle with the plunger to get ink flowing again. It’s a pity, these would probably be my two favourite pens, if not for the ink flow issues that make using them a drag.

Muy bien precio para una estilográfica de calidad, materiales y acabados de muy buena calidad y el plumin es de muy buena calidad.

Beautiful fountain pen, smooth writing experience with <EF> nib. Extremely comfortable either posted or unposted. Paired it with Pelikan 4001 "Violet" ink. I highly recommend it. If you are new with the vacuum filling method it can be a little weird in order to fill it in the very first time. There's a user guide leaflet inside the box, but YouTube videos can be easier to get it going. It's basically a very good replica of the much more expensive Pilot Custom 823 <F> nib, therefore I've chosen a color that doesn't give you that strange feeling of using a costly wannabe. The dark trim and steel nib totally make a difference from the "original". It's my second Asvine fountain pen that I purchase (the other one is a N7 Peacock Blue <EF>, you can check my review) and both of them are awesome and very good writers.

Very nice pen to see and also to write .. nib smoothness is amazing. Flow is also good.

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.

It's a amazing fountain pen that works well, feel smooth and looks beautiful.The first one I got didn't flow very nice so I had to exchange it. The new one is perfect. But for this reason -1 star.I don't think this will be a common issue and I would buy this pen again.Be aware that the fine is still almost like a medium. If your looking for real fine writing for for the EF.
