DB: Ever since I watched your video on widening the slit on my Decimo, I altered a different pen (Majohn A2) as practice. I simply ran a brass shim through the slot a couple of times. I did not have the correct brass to put two shims in and then pull the tines apart. No matter. Since I 'cleaned' the slot, the A2 has written wonderfully. Even skipping a day or two, it starts immediately. As is usually the case, a simple solution seems to work best. Thanks. Now I need to get up the courage to clean my Desimo's slit.

@beqvyper8504 2 месяца назад

I wonder if they'll do an F version of the A2. The A1 is too heavy to be comfortable for me so I'm wondering if this A1 weighs the same as the original. The finish is really nice.

I recently bought the white + gold trim color and it's currently my favorite. I had no idea it was an until now! No wonder it's been writing so smoothly. I generally prefer F over EF.

So exciting! I have a few Vanishing Points but I also love my A1! As a fan of broader nibs I'm really happy to see this new option. The white or black with gold trim is very tempting.

@meloenboom 2 месяца назад

I really appreciate the attention to details in measure the line width. I actually have a question with which you might be able to help me. I got my first fountain pen recently, a Lamy Safari with an EF nib. I’ve set my sights on the Kaweco Sport (AL) for my next pen, and I’d debating between EF and F. I’m not unhappy with the Lamy EF, but I think I would prefer just a hair wider. So my question is, do you happen to know the line widths for the Lamy EF, and the Kaweco EF? (I could already spot the Kaweco F in your video)

@mattmeagher365 2 месяца назад

How can you tell the vintage vs modern Vanishing Point? I got my first VP in 1997 or 1998 and love it!

@b8702131 Месяц назад

Hey Doodlebud. Found your content a few days ago when I was checking out reviews for the Majohn A1 to see if it's any good. Well mine arrived yesterday and I instantly fell in love with it. Been clicking it like it was a fidget toy ever since. One thing I noticed, since I don't own a VP to compare, the push button doesn't go smoothly down like a Parker Jotter. There is like a shelf or a bump that needs a slightly extra effort to push down to fully extend the nib. I don't know if it's just QC on my copy or is it the same on every A1 or VP for that matter. Does any of your A1s have the same feeling? EDIT: I managed to reduce the bumpy feeling a great deal by removing and rotating the spring till I found the right spot. I also sanded the leading edges of the internal pen where I noticed some scratch marks but I think the spring had most to do with it.

@philnaunton7181 2 месяца назад

My 1st Pilot Vanishing Point I ordered with a Medium, since that was my customary "go to, " but it was too broad. I ordered a separate innerds in Fine. Much better. Both leaked like sieves. Retired both. Bought an A1 from Majohn/Moonman, also in Fine without Clip. Was OK, but still leaked. Retired that one, too. Now I have no usable Vanishing Points. I am tempted to say "Caveat Emptor."

@ichirofakename 2 месяца назад

I tossed my leaky A1 as well. But did serve the purpose of proving to me that I have no use case for a clicky fountain pen.

@kattz753 2 месяца назад

As the annoying kid who used to make my ball point click pens "jump" I always liked the idea of these but I really don't like extra fine. I have been keeping an eye out for an E95S. I saw what they are calling Pilot Capless with steel nibs. I'm wondering if they are fake or possibly a Korean version like the steel nib E95S. The price was around $70-80 Cdn. I would consider a steel nib Capless, especially if I could get medium. I will hold out for a new or vintage E95S with a gold nib. And I would put up with this pen in Fine. I have a couple #5 Moonman nibs. They're actually pretty good. P.S. What kind of distance do you get if you turn it upside down, click and "jump"? I know that you tried it....

@Tesseus Месяц назад

the "special alloy" (steel nibs) pilot capless are legit, just only sold in japan market and that's why they're a lot cheaper than the gold (since they're steel)

@Rgc571 2 месяца назад

@decaquits1035 2 месяца назад

lol the thing is that it only costs you $16-18 (tax included ) to get a Mojiang A1 in China. Regardless of the nib, its barrel is identical to the Pilot Vanishing Point (even the slot for the nib), which means if you scratch your precious Pilot, you can find a perfect and cheap substitute❤

@MitchellJBridges 2 месяца назад

Well that will force the "original" creators to lower the prices. Let's face it, we already have a problem with expensive pens still making it difficult to afford the hobby. Imitation is not always a bad thing. Reverse engineering a lot of the time removes the flaws the original had. Aside from the point are you one of those people who defend TWSBI, or Kaweco.
