I’m so happy I came across the parallel pen rabbit hole 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
A Parallel nib with highlighter ink would be a great idea.
I use the parallels with Moonman 2, it's just fantastic no other words
Awesome find, thanks for sharing
Decided to try a couple of makers. The parallel fits snugly into a Walltown Pen Oslow model using the whole feed!
Good to know!
Thank you for this. I hate the body because its so long and so large with that cap, I like to bring these to work with me so I just ordered some of the signature pens. Cant wait for them to come to lighten my carry load.
I have modified the Pilot parallel nibs with sandpaper, very easy and doesn’t take long..
Sounds very cool. What kind of modifications were you able to get with just sandpaper?
thank you! One reason I don't use my parallel 2.4 often is because I don't care for the feel of the thin light body. I tried switching the nib/feed to my metropolitan and it works even though the threads are very tight, I imagine a lot like the sign pen, but the cap won't fit on it. Thanks for this info
Thank you so much for the sign pen link. I purchased a full set of Pilot Parallel pens from John Neal with a left-handed grind, but I’ve always disliked the pen body. Now I can use them! 👍🏾
I know this video is from 2 years ago.. I use the Pilot parallel nibs in Opus 88 demonstrator pens. The nib fits perfectly and you have a huge ink capacity of almost 4 ml.. I have a few of these pens for my urban sketching.
I tried the opus 88 and the nib kept getting stuck and had a hard time removing it-but perhaps that was a quirk of the particular pen I was using. I know a lot of people have success with the opus 88 and pilot parallel nibs.
Thank you for the suggestion! I had been using a pilot parallel as a highlighter for a while now. I swapped it into the sign pen body to make it look nicer. I'm slightly worried about the plastic cracking. It is very tight. There hasn't been any damage after a few weeks of using it. Now I have a neat refillable highlighter that doesn't need felt tips.
Super useful! :) Thank you!! I've been wondering for a while about other bodies to put the parallel onto. I've heard about the opus 88 one, but couldn't justify the price.
After quite a few years using fountain pens I have finally ordered these, though sadly we don't seem to have the newer sizes available in the UK. Your review and advice was very timely.
Crucial info for me personally, thanks.
Phenomenal suggestion for the Pilot Pens! Not too big fan of the long body of the Parallel, and having the demonstrator pen body is nice to have, especially that the parallel pens use a lot of ink
Gosh I've been waiting for a video like this for so long! Thank you sooooo much!!!!
I tried with thw nemosine fission... and it fits perfect. lol
So helpful! Thank you for posting this! Do you happen to have a Kakuno and do you know if the parallel could swap in?
I do have a kakuno and I don’t think it will work to swap because the threading is different.
2:54 pilot *spare* sign pen
ty, i love the pen but hate the plastic body
Great hacks. I guess these parallel nibs need large ink capacity. 😁
Thanks! They do run through ink pretty fast.
"This is a calligraphy pen. It's hard to write with." xD
Just write a bit bigger and hey presto, it's like a smaller pen. Except bigger! Or on a huge piece of paper. Then it'll be tiny writing! Except fun!
Question: Do you think the Sign pen hack will be able to hold a con-70?
No, I tried it and it won’t fit.
Thank you, i'am looking for a modification for years, from the very beginning of parallel pilot pen before it becomes popular, but it's too expensive to buy a lot of pen just for try if parallel pilot nib fits inside another... i saw a mod with an "opus 88" but it's about 80-110 €, i don't want to spend 400 €!
Late reply but these fit into the Moonman/Majohn #5 nib size pens such as the c3.
@@Lognamackya thank you very much
@@lesavdesabonnes pleasure
I can't find the Pilot sign felt pens on Canadian Amazon site.
I am wondering if these Pilot Parellel nibs will work with a pilot Kakuno body ??
Have you heard or seen this working ?
I haven’t tried with the kakuno so I don’t know, but I have heard that this might work. I’m sure there is someone out there who has done it and put it online.
The Sign pens are no longer available. I have a Benu and would love the wing sung converters but the link doesn’t work. Do they only have one type?
The 6 mm runs out of ink quickly and the Opus 88 2-3.6ml ink (eye dropper pens) holds pilot parallels as well!! Demonstrators let you see ink level.
It works as well with the jinhao 9019
Good to know!
I bought a Jinhao 9019 and it has a large nib holder. How come yours fit intuit?
@@benfrogy you need to leave the housing in it as well.
@@benfrogy yea as i said you keep the screw type housing inside and pull the nib and feed,youll have more example in reddit itself with poeple who made this mod,just search
@@Tailslol Thanks for ur reply. I did remove the nib of the 9019 from the nib housing including the feed, then I inserter the parallel nib and it's just right. But what do you recommend, eyedrop it or use the 9019 converter?
The eBay Wind Sung link is not working. Can you list in the comments which WS converters work for the Pilot Parallel Pens? Thank you
I'm pretty sure it is these (for the Wing Sung 659--sorry for the long link, I got to it from a google search): www.ebay.com/itm/334449846816?chn=ps&_trkparms=ispr%3D1&amdata=enc%3A12nU8A62eRGO2ejOXUVfCQQ59&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&mkcid=2&mkscid=101&itemid=334449846816&targetid=1584739239014&device=c&mktype=pla&googleloc=9028775&poi=&campaignid=19894961968&mkgroupid=148855406073&rlsatarget=pla-1584739239014&abcId=9307911&merchantid=101738980&gclid=CjwKCAjw2K6lBhBXEiwA5RjtCZl-NgWKAd7sc2Zk2yOFt7FGfRL91J1PTGRhsTyy56D8RanTuXLkDRoC7-MQAvD_BwE
Hola, una pregunta.
Existe la posibilidad que el nib encaje en el Pilot petit 1??
I haven’t tried that one, so I can’t say.
What brand is clear pen ?
It is the Pilot sign pen that is linked in the description box below.
pilot parallel can swapped barrel and cap for pilot kakuno?
@@kungolarn9240 no, the Kakuno won’t work-only the sign pen.
Frankenpens! Yay 😁✒️🖊🦴🧠🫀👃🏼🦶🏽🦵🏽🫁 #PartsIsParts 😂
