AERO 

In 1900 the Zeppelin airship began its first test flight under the aeronautical leadership of Earl von Zeppelin. Based on this event and the design of the airship Diplomat introduces the Aero pen to the market. Aero is characterized by groove-like depressions on the barrel and cap which lends the pen next to its classic form a modern spirit. Aero is made of anodized aluminum and is especially designed ergonomically. The clip harmonises well with the shape of the pen.

. a Diplomat Aero. This one is *hefty*; it was one of my first heavier pens and I love the way it feels in hand. I'd also throw Namisu and Karas Kustoms in the ring, just because!

I'm sorry if this becomes a bit rambly, and I know these things are often very subjective, but I'm looking to the wider experience of the masses for opinions.

I have only two pens: ye olde Pilot Metropolitan and the ubiquitous Lamy Safari. I'm a big fan of how they both write, though I prefer the metro for every day as I like a bit of **heft**.

I'm ready for the next step, and I have a few pens on my list, though several of these are out of reach (or stock) at the moment. These include: Faber-Castell Loom and Kaweco Liliput. I've also often looked longingly at the various TWSBI's around as well, but every time I come close to pulling the trigger, I think, "but won't it feel plasticky and cheap?" And then I talk myself out of it.

I'd also be curious about anyone's experiences between, vacuum or piston vs a normal cartridge/converter thing. I'm a bit useless and generally only clean my pen when I'm changing inks (don't kill me please). I can change!

Basically what I'm asking is what's a good next step? I would like something that looks special or has a real point of difference; I'm not really interested in a more expensive do-over of the pens I already have. I don't have a giant budget (and this is difficult to translate, as some pens that are cheap for those of you in the USA are not necessarily cheap here in NZ) But I'll look into everything.

If you read this far, thank you, looking forward to your input.

I need help with my next pen! (Excuse the lengthiness)

 Everything feels firm and well engineered. I am amazed this company does not have more of a presence in the UK as I am sure the pens would sell well to fountain pen users and well done to Amazon for stocking them in the seemingly scarcer Black colour. Overall - highly recommended !

A high quality writing pen

stamped

Special "CUSTOM" 
It can be said that "CUSTOM" is the glory name. Moderate thickness of axis, length, nib, and the sight that shaved extra decoration. The attitude to pursue supreme writing intently - this is the "CUSTOM". However this "CUSTOM 823" have very interesting sucking system. The system is "Plunger system". 

Enjoyable filling mechanism 
This system use nature of "vacuum". You can enjoy mechanism through skeleton body. Turn the knob and pull stick... pull, pull. Let's push the knob. The ink is filling in a moment ! And when you write, gently loosen the knob (for flowing ink to nib). Ink is dancing in the skeleton axis. Interesting. Can't forget the scene if you look once. Certainly you can't wait out of ink. So, please write, write, write ! But don't forget. This is "CUSTOM". 

Why Plunger system ? 
Please remember the general attitude of "CUSTOM". Usefulness for writing. "Plunger system" can pump up more ink (1.5ml). This is the most quantity among regular line. Around 1935 - using rotary system was not popular. The proposition was "prevent ink from leaking and store more quantity". Plunger system have both points. Now, cartridge and converter system become popular. But not be sepia color. 

nib 
Nib is 14K (#15), large size. It's majestic and arched shape is elegant. But of course, essence is writing touch. The moderate hardness can endure long time writing. And moderate softness tell characteristic repulsion. Good balance. 
Ink - This system is peculiar, so strongly recommend to use INK-70 (PILOT products). This bottle have ink reservoir. 
Equipped accessories - Of course, special box only. Cartridge ? Converter ? What is it ?

 I also have the Custom 74 which is also a fantastic pen in its own right. I have developed a lot of respect for Pilot and realize that their pens are every bit as good as many of the pricier brands. This is my opinion but after reading many many reviews, other seem to agree. The quality of construction is superb

Having many fountain pens, and a few other Pilot FP, the CUSTOM 823 was one of my personal "grail" pens. I have a Pilot Metropolitan, the best $15 fountain pen. I also have the Custom 74 which is also a fantastic pen in its own right. I have developed a lot of respect for Pilot and realize that their pens are every bit as good as many of the pricier brands

 Fountain pens are a highly personal preference but this is my short review and opinion.

 This is my opinion but after reading many many reviews, other seem to agree. The quality of construction is superb. The design is nothing earth breaking; it is a classic cigar shaped pen. The uniqueness of this pen comes from the filling system

absolutely lovely

 and a lot of that's because of the filling mechanism. It's got some metal components even though the pen is mostly resin and it's going to be similar in weight. If you're familiar with like the Lobby Mm or the Pilot vanishing Point, it's going to be right in that ring, so the pen is very evenly balanced. It's got the rod inside for the vacuum filler, which kind of distributes the weight throughout the whole body of the ten, and the cap is not as significant of weight as the body of the pen, so that means that it's gonna feel pretty good in your hand whether you have it posted or unposted

 I Think a lot of people consider it to be a workhorse pen. We've even seen celebrities like Neil Gaiman are fans of using this pen on a regular basis and for good reason. I'm going to cover all the aspects of this pen in this video and I think this one kind of falls into the category of actually attainable and pretty affordable Holy Grail pen territory So let's explore why that is here in the U.s

 Be sure to LIKE comment and subscribe on this video. I Personally would love to know if you think that this is a grill worthy pen and if not, what is your grill pen. Thanks so much for watching and right on.

 It's so well balanced because of the filling mechanism here, which I'll get to in a minute, but it's just clearly designed by a pen company that really understands how people write. So the overall weight of the pen is 29 grams, which is kind of in the mid, -, just getting into the slightly heavier range. and a lot of that's because of the filling mechanism. It's got some metal components even though the pen is mostly resin and it's going to be similar in weight

Hey everybody! Brian Goulet here of Goulet Pens comm and today I Want to talk to you about an extremely iconic pen coming from Pilot the Custom 823. Now we feature this in other videos before, like these seven pens to last a lifetime. We haven't really given love specifically to the 823 in its own video, so here you go. This is a fantastic daily writer

Overview: Pilot Custom 823

 The difference here, however, is in the nib. I got a medium nib, and it’s buttery smooth with just a hint of feedback. The vacuum filling system really impressed me, as I get a complete fill in just one go. 

Blown away!

 The only time I'll tighten it is if I'm traveling with it. Otherwise - Just leave it loose and ink won't flow out of it when it's being stored.  Overall - it does exactly what I wanted it to do - which is to sign checks at my desk. It's weight is perfect and it looks rich and beautiful

  Overall - it does exactly what I wanted it to do - which is to sign checks at my desk. It's weight is perfect and it looks rich and beautiful. But for note taking in meetings and conferences - I prefer the Vanishing Point.

I'm a newbie as far as fountain pens go. This is a bit of a novelty for me. I don't do a lot of writing but will go through a Gell pen in a month just signing checks. So this is mostly for signature purposes

Bold and wet line - Nice Instrument.

 This design is known as the plunger or vacuum filler, while Visconti refers to their design as the double reservoir power filler, it's the same thing here. You screw the filling knob which opens the seal at this section, allowing ink to flow from the barrel to the feet. To fill the pin, pull the plunger back, insert the nib into your favorite ink, and push the plunger down in one smooth, quick motion. This will give you about 1

Pilot Custom 823 Fountain Pen Review

 And here in the U.s. kind of. the going retail price for these is two hundred and eighty-eight dollars now

 So pricing on the Pilot Heritage or Pilot Custom 8:23 is a little tricky and and it's the same problem I have with a lot of the Japanese brands, which is you can get them from Japanese sellers at much less than you can get them for here in the US. So Pilot USA brings them in and they support the warranty and all of that kind of stuff. And here in the U.s

 I Really, really like the pen it's been. It's been one of my most exciting finds of the last year. So pricing on the Pilot Heritage or Pilot Custom 8:23 is a little tricky and and it's the same problem I have with a lot of the Japanese brands, which is you can get them from Japanese sellers at much less than you can get them for here in the US.
