So I can get a vac, a piston, and now a cartridge/converter? Why would I go to any other brand? Lol TWSBI now has everything a girls could need. Already made my purchase of both colors and can’t wait to get my hands on them to play with those springs. Very entertaining video loved the spring launching across the table made the whole video!

Waiting for other colors. I love my GO but this is smaller and has a clip. Will be interesting to see if the spring holds up.

I can’t believe I watched this entire video and not one writing sample is provided (but I loved it anyway and shared to my friends). Springs - yay! Drew is my spirit animal.

Not sure how I'd feel about a metal spring sitting inside the ink. I think a spring should ideally be on the outside / piston-knob side of the converter; instead of inside the ink chamber? Nevertheless, the piston converter looks great.

This is the first review that made me laugh out loud. Really laugh! I don't think I'll be doing that with my Twisbi Swipe! I got the blue one, a lovely deep shade. The nice thing, from my point of view, is that it doesn't cost the earth. It's a very good price. Love the pen! (And love your review!)

That's a great review! Now people won't be surprised when they "shoot their eye out" with the launching converter or cartridge spring.
ordered mine! I am hoping the smoke plastic in the body makes it into some other twsbi's as well. An eco or 580 with a smoke body would defiantly be something I would pick up.
This is a great pen!
I really love the fact that twsbi swipe seems to be coming with two converters.

I would really love to buy this pen. I love the holder AND the fact I can hold a smaller amount of ink in it!
Extra Large Converters might be my favorite filling mechanism. If you happen to leave some Kung Te-Cheng in a pen for a year and the ink leaves a layer of cemented coating in the piston, you actually have the option of swapping out the piston/converter for other inks. I probably just need to clean that 580 with ammonia, but if you love to try crazy inks then the SWIPE is probably a top contender.
I love that you were terrified of piercing the cartridge on Brian's pen but eagerly sent the barrel flying across the room 😂
