P36 Titanium Fountain Pen Piston Filling, Iridium Medium Nib Clear Transparent Acrylic Smooth Writing Pen Case Set

I bought with the Asvine nib - this is one of may favorite pens. As good a writer as my much more expensive Sailor 1911L and Platinum President. The nib is a very stiff writer. Ink flow is good. I have has it inked with Pilot Iroshizuku Tsuki-yo for 3 months and it has not dried out, skipped or hard started once. The ink capacity is 1.5 mL. The body is well made, the edges of the clip are sharper than I like but not a real issue.

For the price, this pen is amazing. I find it has great flow, a smooth writing nib, and an unbelievable price. If you remember the price point when you are writing, you shouldn't be disappointed. I find it comparable to a Waterman Hemisphere in build quality and writing experience for about half the price.

This pen is surprisingly good, the fit and finish is very nice. The feel of it when writing is well balanced, the weight has a very quality feel . The piston filling system works flawlessly, you get a nice amount of ink in one fill just as one would hope. The looks are fantastic, honestly it feels like a much more expensive pen. The nib has some flex to it, but I wouldn't push it too far but there is a slight line variation which is... lets face it, why we all love fountain pens. The ink flow is a touch dry but not starving the nib at all. After sitting for weeks it has a eight to ten letter start before it really flows nicely. The only real problem I see is the cap, the plastic threads onto the metal grip section, which causes some thread stick if slightly over torqued so be careful there. All in all very pleased with this pen, I would definitely recommend it to others.

Ths Asvine clone of the Conid Kingsize Bulkfiller is very well built and feels perfect in the hand. A Titanium pen at a price that is a fraction of the Conid. It is a Piston filler, so inking it up meant having a deep enough ink well to submerge the nib and it filled about 70% of the way on the first try - a LOT of ink. Writes smooth, like the other Asvine nibs. I actually prefer Asvine nibs, Bock nibs are a hit or miss for me. If I had to nit pick, I wish the piston mechanism is also made of metal instead of plastic. That would ensure this pen lasts forever. But, for the price, I am not complaining.

I bought this pen to pair up with its vac filler cousin, the Asvine V200. I ordered my pen with a <F> Asvine #6 nib, and it's a very consistent and reliable writer. In my opinion, it competes with the TWSBI 580 for writing characteristics, but looks more upscale than that TWSBI model due to the crystal clear acrylic body and titanium trim. Fit and finish is very good, although there are some places where titanium and plastic threads mate with each other. Over time, the plastic threads are going to lose the ability to grip their titanium counterpart due to the inherent difference of hardness between the two. My pen wrote very smoothly right out of the box. There isn't much line variation to be had from the steel nib, and Asvine doesn't make any claims about that aspect. However, I seemed to have an ink flow issue. My attempts to correct the issue were unsuccessful. I contacted Asvine's Customer Service, who responded with possible techniques to fix the issue. When those proved unsuccessful, they sent out a replacement nib, which arrived a little over a week later. Being an impatient person, I ordered a pack of three different nib sizes for the P36 from Asvine, for about $16 for all three. All three nibs were smooth...and had the same ink flow issue. I let customer service know that, and they suggested I change inks to a known well-flowing ink. I didn't have their Hongdian Blue ink on hand, but decided to use Pilot Iroshizuku Kon-Peki. And then a miracle happened, and all three nibs wrote flawlessly. When the replacement nib arrived (directly from China), it was even smoother than the original nib, had ink flow issues with Pelikan Edelstein Sapphire (my standard ink), just like the other four nibs, but wrote perfectly with the Kon-Peki. Some of my other pens also had ink flow issues, but based on my experience with Asvine, those problems disappeared as soon as I used Kon-Peki. I have no idea why Edelstein Sapphire works well in some pens, and is an absolute nightmare in others. But I know that I'm on my first and last bottle of Edelstein Sapphire! Surprisingly, my humble little Kaweco Sport has no issues with that ink. So, I really like my Asvine P36, and I LOVE the responsiveness from their Customer Service Department! If there's anything negative to say about the P36 (and its cousin, the V200), it's about their appearance. If you were to look at a picture of either one of those two pens, and compare them to the Conid Bulkfiller King Size pen (a $900+ fountain pen made in Belgium), you would probably wonder how coincidental the likeness is. Functionally, neither Asvine pen could be considered a copy, or clone. As a matter of fact, those two Asvine pens are two very competent examples of a piston filler and a vacuum filler pen, that functionally have more in common with any other similarly functioning pen made anywhere else in the world, but they happened to chose the Conid Bulkfiller as the pen to pattern their product after. If Asvine has done nothing else with those two pens, they proved to me that they are capable of producing pens that are every bit as good as any "Western" pen, but they're able to do it at a lower price. I'll keep looking for their offerings, and when I find a pen that has more of a gap between itself and the pen it was "inspired by", I wouldn't hesitate to buy it. They really are that good!

It fell maybe 18-20 inches and landed on a soft wooden floor. I mean, come on. Otherwise, it was a nice pen for the week and a half it was whole. The mechanism is smooth. It holds a lot if ink. The nib didn't need any adjustments. I regret choosing the EF nib but that's a personal thing. It was great at being an EF. But that level of fragility is inexcusable.

I have found Asvine's Fountain Pens to be exceptional. I own several expensive fountain pens and the Asvine pens I now own write as well or better than pens that are way more expensive. This Asvine P36 is an excellent example. It writes as smooth and effectively as any pen I own. Why would you spend over $1,000 for a Conid Bulkfiller when you can buy a pen that looks as good, writes great, and uses the piston filling system that is simple and effective. I would highly recommend this pen.

This is my third pen from Asvine and, like the first two, it did not disappoint. In fact, it's quite amazing. Fit and finish are first rate, and visually it is quite attractive. The steel nib is an "Extra Fine" by Asvine (not Bock), and leaves nothing to be desired: it wrote well right out of the box - very, very smooth and (for an EF) on the wet side. No hard starts, skips or other unpleasant anomalies. In my experience this is pretty unusual in a stock EF nib - - but not surprising for an Asvine. I have three other steel Asvine nibs, and each performs exceptionally well. Last but not least, the price of this pen is an incredibly low - a true bargain.

Un poco afilada la rosca facilmente se puede dan̈ar el plastic de la tapa le doy 5 por que esta bonita y el plumin asvine es muy bueno

Great

Possiedo 2 Asvine P36, la prima con pennino Asvine EF da circa 6 mesi, la seconda con pennino Asvine F, acquistata per il Black Friday di recente. In entrambi casi la penna si é dimostrata affidabile, di ottimi materiali (policarbonato trasparente molto resistente e titanio). Il sistema a pistone é affidabile e solido, la penna é bilanciata, ma il cappuccio non calza in maniera ottimale, né sicura, ma sigilla piuttosto bene senza problemi di essiccamento dell' inchiostro (la penna ha resistito per oltre due settimane senza problemi di false partenze). Il pennino Asvine #6 da 35mm é mediamente buono, anche se credo che minime differenze possano esserci da penna a penna. Il mio Extra Fine é perfetto con un tratto fluido e privo di qualsiasi ritorno, il pennino Fine, invece pur rimanendo valido, ha richiesto un leggero allineamento dei rebbi per eliminare il leggero feedback che era presente. I pennini sono rigidi in acciaio, non tollerano bene anche le minime flessioni. Credo che il rapporto qualità prezzo per questa P36 sia buono, e diventa eccellente in caso di promozioni con sconti tra il 15% e il 20%. A mio avviso, questa penna é l'acquisto migliore tra le demonstrator sotto i 100 euro, anche rispetto a marchi più blasonati e conosciuti. Consigliata.

Es una pluma con una relación calidad precio muy buena, de una calidad notable. estéticamente es bella, aunque eso ya depende de cada uno y escribiendo, es punto Stub, fluye correctamente, se desliza muy fácil.

The look of this pen is amazing. It will not leave indifferent even someone who does not like to write. But the quality of writing is very average and the main complaint is the density of ink supply. If you compare it with Parker or Lamy, the same black colour looks different. Asvine is more pale, I would say even grey. I tried to rinse the pen with warm water, but it did not help, and most importantly to disassemble it completely you need a special key, which is not in the kit. Now there is water where there shouldn't be. It's a beautiful pen, but nothing more than that.
