So far, I'm liking it. I rinsed it out before using, and there was trace amounts of blue ink already in the pen. Mysterious.

I filled it with Noodler's Heart of Darkness, and it writes very smoothly. Left it sitting overnight, and it continued writing smoothly this morning with no hiccups whatsoever. Very nice! It's supposed to be a "fine," but it really seems like more of a "medium" to me. It comes with a piston filling cartridge converter which didn't seem removable at first, but it just slides out if you pull on it a little.

I got it from AliExpress, if you're wondering. It will surely be available on eBay soon enough.

I have one of these. It's firmly become my "work pen" for taking quick ad-hoc notes. Amazing quality for the price.

Edit: I have a majohn a1 and OP posted a different pen! Looks almost identical.

It is surprisingly nice. You're the second person to compare it to a Majohn. So, I ordered one of those too! In a different color and nib size, of course.

Both of these are complete clones of the Pilot Vanishing Point, which is why they are so identical to each other.

Yep that's clear :)
