The Paili 013 features an easy vacuum filling system - simply untwist the end cap, pull up and then push down when inserted into an ink bottle. The pressure change causes ink to flow into the barrel. The barrel is clear, so you can really get a great feel for how much ink is in your fountain pen. These systems hold a lot of ink, so this is a great daily pen as you won't have to worry about filling it as often. This is a surprisingly high quality resin for the price, and the grip is very smooth to hold.
within a few day,s the bottom cap unglued itself (but easy to put back), and the clip starts to rattle. Yet, the vaccum filling worked well and the (stiff) nib writes smoothly. no complaints for a $5 pen and will likely buy more. Bonus: the green color was darker and nicer than I expected!
I finally got one of these vacuum fill pens. I was curious about the filling system and if I could even control ink flow. I wasn't able to spend a fortune to find out. This pen satisfied my quest for vac filler pen.
The nib is smooth enough to write straight out of the package. The plastic is amazingly heavy. It feels like a more expensive pen. The seals were good and did what they are supposed to do. I am so happy with the colors too. I got the blue and the green. The facets inside the pen look pretty. I like looking at the pen.
The pen doesn't post but it will go over the end good enough I won't lose it when I am distracted.
I also loved the free sticker that came with the pens and ink I purchased. Thank You!
This was from my May Inkredible box. For the price it's an awesome pen. It's also the first pen I had that doesn't post at the end when writing. So it has a lot of firsts for me. I find it writes pretty well I don't have much to judge it against. It's very easy to clean and flush. It did have some residual ink probably from testing still on it. So I'd recommend flushing it well when you get it.
So this was my first vacuum fountain pen. I have converters and piston filled. I liked the blue so I bought it. I won’t lie I made a mess the first time filling it up. But I have enjoyed writing with it. The one issue I notice is that every now and then the pen wants to have difficulty drawing ink when I’ve been writing 3+ letter pages straight. I think it has issues keeping up. But at the same time the size of the ink chamber means I can write for long periods of time before having to refill the pen. So for the price its still a good pen.
