Your penbbs fandom has finally convinced me. I ordered a 308 and 480 yesterday. It's time for me to see what all the fuss is about. Thanks for all the information and entertainment.

I think Penbbs improved the design and the spring filling mechanism in comparison with the TWSBI pens model... and even though, the Penbbs 500 has a slight inconveniences: like not posting the cap or the mildly cumbersome moment before unscrewing the spring filler mechanism; I think is a very elegant and handy fountain pen, especially in the Galaxy and Amber's a Cat models 😻... Nice video Doug, I'll be waiting for the next one 👍

I've never held a TWSBI Go, but from the look of that pen, the weird plastic and weird grip section, I'll pass.

Hey Doug, you mention in your video how the 500 does not post. It got me wondering how the PenBBS acrylics stand up to posting. Do you find the pen's finish gets scuffed up over time where the cap meets the body of the pen?

i would have made a + in the blind twist cap with some sort of saw or something cause that whole twisting is such an akward process especially if you have slippery fingers and a sticker thats a bit sticky if its not placed fully and if it comes up it will probably be a sticky mess but thats just me ...me i want a clear one i love demonstrators

Yeah, that was my suggestion to Penbbs for a refinement - knurl the end knob. The little sticky dots work well for me though.

Second pen I've ever wanted due strictly to the filling system. Someday I may buy one to replace the first, the near identical TWISBI GO. Though it costs half again as much. GO is made of cheesy plastic and the spring is WAY too strong.

The Penbbs 500 is a substantial pen. The only other spring syringe filler I've tried is the Moonman T2 which has a chrome section that is too slippery for me.

Check out the PENBBSOfficialStore on Etsy. They have 500 models in stock but the Amber is a Cat is always rare and snapped up in a heartbeat. So, you have to keep watching to see if they restock and then pounce. And thanks so much Oldman099! You have great taste with your tb burst SJ200 - it is my prize possession (1 of 75 limited edition).

Sweet review! I love mine and it's in the top 3 of my favorite Penbbs materials. The stock nib needed a little work for me as well to increase the wetness. It's nice but I swapped it for a Bock Titanium nib and it's a lot of fun. The stock feed keeps up with the flex writing, which was nice. I used some Autumn Oak and it matches the pen well. Which ink are you using?

@@amoryblaine1102 There are two levels of Moonman M800; one with a Moonman nib and one with a Bock nib. The Bock nib is the more expensive of the two. If you're going to change the nib anyway, get the Moonman nib version. As to 456 vs Moonman, Penbbs 456 EVERY DAY OF THE WEEK! Spoiler: I'm giving one away a week this Sunday.
