In this video, I'll take an in-depth look at the new PenBBS 470, which stands out not just for its beauty, but for its unconventional "vacuum-based" filling mechanism. Unlike a standard vac filler or piston, this pen utilizes a simple pull-knob system that uses vacuum pressure to draw ink directly into the pen body.

Ink today was Jinhao Deep Blue: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_c323T2KX
Paper today was a Rhodia Dot Grid tablet: tinyurl.com/2se9mxrj
In this review, I'll cover:
• Unique Filling System: A detailed look at how the 470 uses vacuum pressure to fill without being a traditional vac filler.
• Design & Materials: Exploring the Galaxy Blue acrylic and classic Chinese design motifs found on the finials and cap band.
• Nib Versatility: While this model comes with a smooth medium steel nib, we discuss the incredible variety of replaceable specialty nib units available, from architect and calligraphy nibs to gold options.
• Serviceability & Durability: See how easily the pen disassembles for deep cleaning and learn about the affordable parts kits and O-rings that keep it sealed.
