I've got mine super-loaded with Diamine Safari; do one normal vacuum fill, then invert the pen (nib uppermost), and CAREFULLY push out the air in the reservoir to just before the neck widens, and put it nib down in the ink bottle again, push the piston home, and you have a completely full reservoir :)
My 3013 just came today , ordered it back in the beginning of March lol. It works so great and I’m very happy with it , it is the first extra fine nib I bought
Cool! Anxious for the review! I have being having my eye on that pen for some time but 20USD is quite a lot of money for people in my country right now. If by some miracle - 50% chance - you've bought the same nib I'm interested in -EF- would you be able to compare it with others like Lamy, cheap Pilots, or Platinum F? The nib also looks all scratched on the photos, do you notice that in person? If you have any of the non transparent resin parts, does the color look dull to you? I have that feeling by the photos.
Yes, two ways. Use multiple strokes, possibly point the nib up to expel air on the first part of a stroke, or unscrew the section and fill it like an eyedropper.
I’m on a chinese pen hiatus for the moment, having the uighur camps in mind. Eyed that pen for years though. Right this moment I’m bidding on a vintage sac filler with a Mabie Todd nib. Wish me luck! Edit: Lost the auction this time. More time to spend on my previous aquisitions.
Me: Should’nt you be pulling the other wa- ohhh
🤣
I was like “Oh well thats new.”
Cost

That's a nice pen. I love mine.
Mine just arrived today. It makes a good first impression.
@@JG3Reviews I agree. Mine was wetter than I was expecting but very smooth. Instantly a favorite and I understand the excitement about it.
Could that pen look anymore like the Pilot 823? Anyway, great fill for one "stroke"!
dude I feel like you're putting a lot of pressure on the nib even tho you're probably not and it breaks my heart xD
Nope, just how the grip looks on camera. 😉
@JG3Reviews hahahaha I was thinking the same thing just as I read this comment
I LOVE Monteverde Brown Sugar ink, a lovely, well-behaved deep brown. It suits that pen.

I like that Wing Sung 699 but I prefer their piston filler version. It weighs less and for me it feels a bit more comfortable in the hand.
I have trouble off and on with vacuum fill pens. Converter of piston fill for me!
Where i can by in chennai
I have some of these inks small gift set. Good value.
Silly question perhaps but would a Pilot nib fit?
I like fountain pens as it's smooth and nice to hold when writing but their expensive
Many are expensive, but you’ll find pens here that are affordable and write well, too.

I got a few wing sun and alway get a lemon
How does this one compare to the Asvine V126?
Something very satisfying filling a vacuum filler. 😊
Wow
Have you tried the penBBS 456? It performs very well and the nib is so smooth.
I haven’t made a video, yet, but it’s coming. Great pen!
My 699 has a massive crack down it and the nib doesn’t even work :(
😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳OH SNAP!!!!!!!!!!📢
Can a vaccum filler pen be filled 100%?
Yes, two ways. Use multiple strokes, possibly point the nib up to expel air on the first part of a stroke, or unscrew the section and fill it like an eyedropper.
I remember using the same kind of ink
Sorry, Pilot 823.
Hi bro i love fountain pen but thing is it very expensive and this one with the vacuum filler is my favourite but I can't buy it
You do realize it's a Wing Sung and not a Pilot...? It's way less than the ...err... inspiration.
Pen name pls
This is a Wing Sung 699.
Pilot 823

Rip off of the Pilot Custom? It'd time China adhered to other companies' protected design.
It's forty years old. Not protected anymore
