Penbbs Vacuum Filler

[Driften]

 

It'll be a No.6 in F. People have good success swapping them with JOWO nibs. I've swapped one with a cheap Jinhao, which took a while to set, but is now fine.

 

 

Thanks that would be perfect.

I'm still here Are these photos what you want? If not, happy to upload others. Haven't had much time to play with the 456 yet, but the actual plunger mechanism looks quite similar to the one in 268.

 

That's so cool of you! Thanks, those are great pictures.

Soooo.... do we have an ETA on these ones??

Can't be much long, Cyber6 - beini has just shared another photo of the 456 in cordierite, it appears to me to be a demo with purplish-blue swirls.

So that's at least four colours we've seen: Clear, Smog, Galaxy, and Cordierite. I'm hoping for Amber, but those last two would be hard to choose between if I didn't get it.

 

It feels like it's going to be a huge launch, and the largest shopping day in the world seems like a pretty auspicious day for that. So I'm personally guessing a Singles Day (11/11) launch.

That is absolutely stunning. Never thought there comes a day that I adore a purple colored pen

Alright that's it, this will be my targeted color

 

Also might be only me but are those new clip design? It really compliments the purple design very well

That pen in cordierite looks nice!

You may be right. I clicked on the link provided above :

I don't speak Mandarin and just went with the price quoted. Y600 - rounded, and used the exchange rate from XE.com.

I wait and see what ebay says.

Hol' up. $86? Are they pricing it more than the VAC 700R?

As much as I want the 456, that price made me think my stance

 

Mech-for-i , is it still showing RMB 198 now?

I see the other PenBBS (308) and the pricing seems quite right

198 is the correct price.

The triumphal nursery school anthem cracks me up. Somebody has to be feeling pretty good about this pen.

First run might be a Chinese exclusive.

No signs of 456 on etsy, which is usually the first western oriented shop to receive restocks.
