    I'm well down this rabbit hole and I don't want help getting out! I only planned on buying two more this month but someone introduced me to this one and I had to have it! I didn't have a vacuum filling fountain pen and would like to have a variety of filling mechanisms within my collection. Because I am trying to limit myself somehow, I thought sticking to a theme would limit my purchase options.
    I'm new to the Nahvalur brand, this is my first pen but I’m really happy they came out with this colour option ‪@nahvalur‬
    This was bought from a lovely store here in the UK called Art From the Heart ❤️ www.afth.co.uk
    The paper used for the writing sample was Tomoe River also purchased from AFTH‪@artfromtheheartukltd6464‬
    The ink used was a Cult Pens Dominant Industry collaboration called Dusk. It was given to me as a gift but I believe it was bought from Cult Pens ‪@CultPensUK‬ www.cultpens.com
    Thank you to ‪@GoldspotPens‬ and ‪@InkquiringMinds‬ for the tips on achieving a fuller fill, I will practice! These were the videos that helped:

    Anything I've missed, please just let me know in the comments. I will try to answer them.
    Thank you also to ‪@-Biteme-‬ for suggesting I include writing samples. I plan on doing a currently inked video soon (spoiler, all my pens are currently inked) and also a collection video of my pens and inks.
    and to ‪@AntonioBarba_TheKaneB‬ for the tips on getting the camera to focus. Not perfect but I'm trying lol.

    I’ve been thinking of getting a Nahvalur but can’t seem to find a good colour. This is very pretty though!
    I love that you compared it with other pens with the same color way. It tells us a lot about the variation in interpretations of white and rose gold across manufacturers.

      I do have 4 TWSBI pens in my collection because I love the design and how affordable they are and I bought them before I heard about any of this. Do you have a favourite Nahvalur fountain pen? Which other brands do you like?

      @@AverageZoeBlogs this will be my first nahvalur pen actually. Been wanting one for so long but never got around to it. I have to say that Franklin Christoph is one of my favorite brands alongside pilot. I have 3 or 4 pens. I also bought two pens from Little pen Designs they are great writers. My Leonardo momento mágico is my favorite too.

    I have seen some of your latest video. I am sad to see that it has been so long since your last post. I hope you find time again thought I know that life often gets in the way. I hope you find ever more deeper rabbit holes to explore.

    I absolutely love the way the matira white looks.. but I've learned my lesson after owning a white RG twsbi. The white does stain over time and there's not much you can do about it. I ended up getting the lovina black for this reason. I hope you're still enjoying your beautiful pen.

    • @AverageZoeBlogs

      Thank you 😊 I watched a video where someone mentioned staining their white and RG TWSBI so I’ve always been really cautious. I use the TWSBI pipe when filling and only ever use the same colour ink. My Nahvalur has FWP Adventurine and so far it doesn’t look like it’s stained 🤞🏽I’ve also heard that it’s mainly inks with red in so reds, pinks, oranges etc. that stain. Is that true? My main colours are grey, green and brown.

    • @sech20
      @sech20 Před 10 měsíci +1

      @@AverageZoeBlogs I didn't think to use the pipe. But I think using the same ink would be a very limiting factor as far as my enjoyment of a pen. That said, I have been babying my white rg twsbi by using standard non-permanent inks, and wiping immediately after fills, and it still managed to stain. I was mainly using blue and brown inks. I'm glad your Nahvalur is safe and sound! It's a beauty..I have a thing for white pens haha

      @@sech20 so sorry to hear yours stained despite being so careful 😢 I think I’ve heard you can write to TWSBI and pay shipping for a new nib section if it really bothered you but then it could just happen again. I have a thing for white pens too! And if it’s white and rose gold 😍😍😍

    Lovely pens. Thank you for showing how to fill the ink. I was wondering if you can do another what's in my bag series since it's been 6 years since your last one. I found it very helpful how you were able to carry so much in little packages. Thanks.

      Thank you 🙏🏽 I definitely want to do an update to the what’s in my bag videos! Would you prefer to see an overview of my bag(s) and then individual videos for each pouch or one long video. I’m leaning towards lots of short ones but I’d be interested to hear your opinion 😄

      @AverageZoeBlogs Either way is fine by me. If you still carry a lot in different pouches, perhaps you can stick with multiple vids. This way, you can elaborate on each thing like you did before.! 🙂

    I bought this in the black version with a fine nib and think these are lovely pens. It was my first Nahvalur and vacuum fill pen too. It's nice to see a British pen enthusiast for a change 🙂

    • @AverageZoeBlogs
      @AverageZoeBlogs  Před rokem +1

      Oh how exciting! Which ink have you paired it with? I have my eye on the Ferris Wheel Press Adventurine as I do like grey ink and it has rose gold shimmer. That might look even better in your black one. Are you British too?🙌🏽

    • @AverageZoeBlogs
      @AverageZoeBlogs  Před rokem +1

      I just thought the shimmer is probably not the best for your fine nib though. I also want to try the De Atramentis Pearlscent Ink Velvet Black Copper.

      @@AverageZoeBlogs yes I'm in the UK too. I have it inked up with Inkebara Deer Brown, which is actually a green lol. I don't usually use shimmer inks in fine nib pens because you generally don't get to see much shimmer and the cleaning is a bit of a pain sometimes. I've just uploaded a video short if you want to see the black version 🙂 thanks for subscribing to my channel 👍
