TESTIMONIALS
Customer Reviews
My Asvine P20 arrived beautifully made — smooth resin, piston filler works perfectly. Out of the box, it needed a little nib tuning, but now it’s my daily pen. Great value without feeling cheap.
Sarah Whitmore, Asheville, NC
I bought the V200 in titanium finish. Sturdy, nice weight, vacuum fill is fun to use. The nib was a touch dry at first, but a quick flush fixed it. Overall, really impressive quality.

Asvine: frequently Asked Questions
✒️ How is the writing quality of Asvine pens?
Asvine pens are widely praised for offering exceptionally smooth writing experiences at affordable prices. Most models write well out of the box, with only occasional minor tuning needed. Pens like the V126, P20, and V200 are frequently highlighted for their performance, with many users noting a buttery-smooth feel and consistent ink flow.
✒️ What filling systems do Asvine pens use?
P-series pens (e.g., P20, P30, P36) use a piston-filling mechanism.
V-series pens (e.g., V126, V200) feature a vacuum-filling system.
Both filling systems are known for being reliable and easy to clean, with solid ink capacity.
✒️ Are Asvine pens compatible with JoWo or Bock nibs?
Yes. Many Asvine models, such as the P20 and V200, use standard JoWo No. 6 nib units or Bock nibs. This allows easy nib swapping and customization without complicated modifications.
✒️ Do Asvine pens dry out if unused?
Asvine pens are often noted for having excellent ink retention. Several users report no hard starts even after leaving the pens unused for two weeks or more. The pens appear to incorporate an effective interior seal similar to Platinum pens.
✒️ How does Asvine compare to premium brands?
While premium brands like Pilot and Sailor maintain higher craftsmanship standards, Asvine delivers close performance at a fraction of the price. Many users compare the experience favorably, especially considering the value, though the nibs and materials may show minor differences in refinement compared to high-end models.

✒️ How durable are Asvine pens?
Build quality is considered impressive for the price. Models like the V126 are praised for solid cap threads and sturdy body construction. However, some users prefer heavier pens like the TWSBI or Pilot for a more premium feel. Overall, Asvine pens are reliable for everyday use.
✒️ Can the syringe converter work with any fountain pen?
Yes, when used for filling cartridges or converters, the syringe filler is compatible with all fountain pens. However, when used directly as a converter (without the needle), it only fits pens accepting 3.4 mm cartridges, such as Hongdian.
✒️ How do I assemble the syringe converter correctly?
The syringe filler has three parts: converter, white connector, and needle.
- Wrap a cloth around parts and apply some grease to ease assembly, pressing firmly for the first use.
- Attach the needle and converter to opposite ends of the white connector (reference assembly video if needed).
✒️ How do I fill my pen using the converter?
Follow these easy steps:
- Twist the converter’s knob clockwise to move the piston down, then counterclockwise to draw ink up into the converter.
- Insert the converter firmly into your pen.
- Dip the nib fully into the ink, ensuring the grip section is submerged.
✒️ Can I use the syringe filler to clean my fountain pen?
Yes, it’s ideal for flushing and cleaning. It’s recommended to clean fountain pens monthly to maintain optimal performance.
✒️ What precautions should I take when assembling the syringe filler?
- Use a cloth to avoid slipping.
- Apply grease lightly on connectors for easy fitting.
- Push firmly during initial assembly, as the connector may be tight.
