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.
I love these! I own maybe 8 of them. they are great for art. you can swap in different nibs easily, as they are #5 friction fit nibs. The body is also nice and solid. reliable. and the ink stopper feature on this model is essential for travel kits.
Paili 013 Vacuum Fill Fountain Pen
Excellent price and service!
I really liked the color and feel of this pen. Super inexpensive, but seems pretty solid. I like having a screw top on my pens. It took me a while to figure out how the vacuum fill system worked, lots of things to twist. Writes nicely. Doesn't 'post' with any sort of security, but it will top.
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!
