Asvine V126

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.

More the excellent.

The ink flow and nib are terrible. Extremely dry with constant skipping. The filling mechanism then broke the second time I tried to fill the pen. The rubber seal that creates the vacuum came away from the plunger rod. I would stay away from this pen. I have one of their piston fillers and it's much better.

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.
