Resin is plastic. Resin is generally used for poured acrylics. Plastic for injection molded. But the terms mean the same thing, a generic name for an organic polymer. Liked your approach. I am uploading my review. We agree on this pen.

I have been using a 268 as my main writer for the last week. I have had the same experience with the nib on mine - probably the best tuned SF nib I have ever received on an PenBBS in terms of smoothness and flow.

i love this pen! i fly quite often (several times a year) and i find vac fillers (with the shut-off valve) very useful. My first one was a twsbi 700, which i loved and still do. But it is very nice to see vac fillers for 1/7th the price. Also have 456 as well as the 268 and i love them both. (Although my 456 is non-transparent which makes it hard to guess how much ink i have left in it. Have to hold it up to light)

PenBBS & Wing Sung realize that our kids, they always have to be safer, have a right to a vacuum filler. A piston filler like the Wing Sung 3008 it does not like to be scrambled too much in a school bag.

Another great video, thanks. Great size comparisons! Glad your 268 posts better than my example. I also did not notice it has no nib housing and also that it was plastic and not turned acrylic. Still, a good buy. Wondering how you got a Medium with your 456 Symphony. I got yet another F nib. Perhaps you scored one of the PenBBS Medium nib charms from a few months back.

I find the 268 to be a better EDC after using it for a couple of weeks due to the fast cap unscrewing. The durability remains a question though

I still enjoy my 456 better and am okay using it as edc EDC even with the additional weight and size. The plastic on the 268 definitely does not feel as nice, but I think it will hold up for a while. It will be interesting to see how the wingsung compares to the two of them.

Styrene, which is the usual choice for injection molding, is inherently brittle. Between the stress to which a vac mechanism subjects the barrel and the capacity, it's a very poor choice. Turned acrylic, polycarbonate, or other decent resin only for me.

What is the color of your penbbs 456(the one at the top) ? It looked stunning ! Is it dawn cloud ? Or cordierite ?

Thanks. Now I know the differences. To me, about an added 1/4 inch difference in length isn't worth the extra money. Nice to know they both use a #6 nib. My 494 uses a Lamy nib. No where near as many nib options as with the #6 or even #5 nibs. The feed won't come out of my 494 again, or I'd try one of my Jinhao X450 #6 feeds and nibs in it.

Cool. Do you prefer the Wing Sung 3013 or the 456? I'm glad fountain pens are reaching even US$1.3 nowadays (with piston and 0.7 nib), still higher compared to good pens like the US$0.5 cent Standard BPM 0.7 medium but it's getting closer. God bless, Proverbs 31
