2019 Wing Sung 3013 / Paili 013 Vacuum Filler

 

Just came in the mail

Feels really nice

Not inked as yet

 

The cap has a 0 ring , and the cap has a shoulder to screw onto just behind the 0 ring . ( Nice airtight seal )

The vacuum mechanism feels really nice .

 

On initial examination , I can find nothing to fault .

I guess all that's needed is to ink the 3013 .

Does the ink supply cutoff? My 3013 does not completely close.

???? Sorry , don't understand the question ...

INK..ed

 

Wow! , I was surprised by just how smooth the NIB is .

Holding the NIB flat the pen writes really well .

Canting left - The pen tolerates a lot of angle to the left , and I mean a lot , almost 90 degrees of angle ..

Canting right - The pen tolerates very little angle to the right , by the time you hit 40 degrees , the NIB is running dry .

 

So far no burps / no leaks / no problems ...

Sorry, I wasn't too clear. When the knob at the tail end is completely screwed down it should turn off the ink supply. The valve on my 3013 pen did not close completely as it should. I have not had this problem with the PenBBS 456.

The pen is a vacuum filler ..

When the plunger (?) is all the way down , the body opens up so that the vacuum can draw in ink and then the ink can also flow to the NIB .

I am not sure the plunger / valve / O ring ( what ever ) is supposed to stop ink flow , not in this pen .

Probably why the cap has a O ring seal .. Been a few days now , and seems to be fine .

I think OCArt's question is because other vacuum filler like PenBBS 456 plunger would stop the ink flow from the barrel to the section when the knob is fully closed.

So when writing you need to loosen the knob a little.

 

For WS3013 since the plunger still have a little gap, you don't need to loosen the knob to start writing. Though it would make it more susceptible to burping if you're bringing your pen on a flight.

Frankly I never have such problem because I always keep them upright

An update !

 

I have been using this pen since the day I got it ! = No issues !

 

I did use some wet N dry to tweak the NIB and it puts ink down better now .

what's "wet N dry"?

what's "wet N dry"?

 

Wet N dry is a finer-grained type of sandpaper, designed to be a bit gentler than regular sandpaper.

I thought that might be what you were referring to, what grit are you using? ...and what grit standard does Australia use? FEPA or JIS probably?

 

 

What I really want to know, is how a manufactured product like this can be less than $5, no matter what country it's made in?!?

What is going on... I'm away from the fountain pen market for a few months and now I open Aliexpress and there's a vac filler with a nib that I can swap for a Pilot Super Quality and it's only 15NZD... Wow...

[old4570]

Sorry , the Wet And Dry is a specialised paper .. More for metals that say wood .

 

Grit was a little course , Cant get to it right now as I am re modelling my room .. ( Stuff in the way )

 

I was very gentle , the pen needed to be canted left to write , now it writes flat and canted to the right a little ,

Not nearly as sensitive to NIB angle ..

 

With a good NIB this pen would be really nice if not awesome .

[Ardakilic]

I have one of this, it's great, until it suddenly stops writing. I believe it's one because of the nature of the vacuum system, can't say much. I've cleaned the pen a couple of times, but didn't help at all.

Most traditional vac fillers will "stop" the inkflow when the knob is screwed down after filling, using the rubber gasket on the rod to press into the section and separate the ink in the section from the ink in the barrel.

 

It's useful for long term storage, flying, and heavy jostling, but does require the tail be slightly unscrewed for the pen to write once the ink in the feed has been exhausted.
