Hey everyone, So like everyone who surfs Instagram (and uses Fountain Pens for that matter), I'm sure you've seen Ferris Wheel ink. My question is, have you tried it and did it work for you? Thanks!

Wing Sung 601 This pen came after month of waiting and I am really exited to share my first thoughts and impression from it. Boxing…well the box was all ways crumpled as the transport package was in just envelope with bubble foil. Meh who cares. Chinese only manual, big help when you do not know single sign of the language. Oh well no added value here, but it could be worse I suppose. Packaging 3/10 The pen has a very pleasant heft in hand and all seems alright. The materials seem polished and have good surface no scratches or dings. I am bit worried about the cap might hold after few months time will tell. (Worst comes to worst and the cap will be falling off I will turn it into desk pen.) I had trouble to find the seam to uncover the pumping mechanism. As I unscrewed it I choose pilot irozhizuku syo-ru ink, as the colour is similar to the pens body. The pen sits very well in the hand my only complaint, as it is my first vacumatic I have no idea if I filled it fully. Construction 8/10 The pen writes smoothly no hesitation or hard starts, at first I thought there was leakage but it turned out to be just badly wiped ink. I am seriously impressed with the pen it writes nicely in reverse and here came big surprise the line is thin just as I like much thinner then my Kaweco Al sport EF. I am impressed the nib is stiff as a board, no flex. I think it is well balanced nib for large variety of inks. Plus it is hooded nib I really dig those. Nib 9/10 As I said it is my first vacumatic pen but I really liked it though I cant say how much ink I have loaded and I will be taking pocket bottle of the ink for emergencies I really like the system plus the plunger is metallic that by alone is a plus. Filling system 8/10 For a price of 15USD with shipping from china to Czech Republic? I think I am in love with this pen so far. If it will keep up I think I will have to buy another one or the original Parker 51 comparison. Totally 8/10 P.S. does anyone have American pencil company Venus hooded nib lever filler pen I saw one of fleabay and I really like it does anyone have experience with them?

The Marlen Aureus was a pen I didn't plan to buy, as I was completely unaware of its existence. So you could call it an impulse buy - one that has made me think twice about doubting my impulses.
