Asvine P36 titanium nib unit too tight to unscrew-suggestions?

[DLCJr]

I have a new Asvine P36 which I really like, aside from the fact that I cannot remove the nib unit from the acrylic body to use with cartridges.

 

Ive tried as hard as I can to unscrew the nib unit, numerous times, but it just won’t budge.

 

Any suggestions before I give up and just return the pen to Amazon?

 

Thank you.

Your pen is a wonderful piston filler and is not made to one used with cartridges.

Thank you, OCArt!

 

Indeed.  It is a really nice piston-filler pen!  And I note in the video you posted that the reviewer stated that he, too, was surprised to find that the nib unit section is NOT-removable.

 

I should mention that the user guide, which comes with the pen, illustrates unscrewing the Nib Unit to enable use of cartridges, (or to refill the ink chamber using a syringe.) I'm not interested in using cartridges, but rather prefer filling with syringe.

 

So going by the Asvine user guide... I believed that I should be able to remove the nib unit, so that I could refill the reservoir with syringe, rather than by using the piston. (I'd just prefer to refill with syringe, is all.)

 

I guess the user guide is incorrect (probably somewhat generic, perhaps) and not perfectly applicable to the P36 Titanium pen.

 

Thus, I shall simply continue to use the pen as a piston-filler, only.  I LIKE the pen!

 

Thanks again for your post!

Yes, I think they just reused a generic pamphlet. I'm sure you will get a lot of good use out of that pen.

Just ordered a P36 for myself.  Hope to get to try it out this weekend.

I'm really loving the P36.  And while eyedropper filling would suit me better, I'm perfectly ok with filling it as a piston-filler.  The fine nib is excellent. Really nice pen.

 

I would like to know if I might be able to run a 1.1mm stub Italic-type nib in this pen - to get something of a more calligraphic look to the writing? Any idea who/where such a nib might be sourced from?

 

(I have loved the classic Sheaffer "No-Nonsense" Calligraphy pens with 1.0 Italic nib, for decades, but fast-forwarding to the post-modern world, I am brand new to today's universe of fountain pens.)

If the version is Bock, the nib is pulled as shown in the review by DoodleBud, timestamp 08:40 

 

but ChrisRap was able to pull out nib and feed in both from Asvine and Bock, at 04:54 noting the unit seemed glued in place
