The dollar tree has them including the ink pot, works AMAZINGLY and just coasted $1.25

Thank you so much for this! I just got my first ever glass pen and had no idea how to manage it properly. These tips and tricks help so much! 😁💜

You probably meant channels instead of chambers. Chamber is a 3d volume such as a bottle interior.

Ugh im loving the set i bought! Got 6 for 12$, 1 arrived with the nib snapped off, one with a broke stem. I just sanded it smooth so it cant cut me, works just as good as the rest!

I just received my first glass dip pen set yesterday and my second set is arriving today. I can't wait to use them! They both come with inks, but they are tiny bottles, though I'm sure a little goes a long way. Do you have any recommendations for good ink brands? I plan to use the pen for my drawings so I would like them to be water soluble. I'm also going to use watercolor with them😊

My mom gifted me one for Christmas and I've been so afraid to use it (it's literally in its packaging, in a box, in another box and in my drawer) this really helps!

Use a flimsy plastic quart container cup or similar for washing..the flimsy plastic will keep you or at least limit any damage..

I just got glass dip pens for my birthday yesterday and this video was super duper helpful! Thank you for the video! 😊❤

Great video, thank you! I am a fountain pen user and loved my glass pen but I gave it away to a good friend of mine who was doing anime drawings! Unfortunately, I never replaced it and I miss mine. But I am getting ready order 2. I was looking at the different storage options although a nicer pens will come securely wrapped and in a protective box. Thanks again for the wonderful tips!

[jillyhoward]

Thank you so much for this super useful video. I was considering buying a cheap kit from Amazon until I saw your tips. I would love to begin with glass pen writing as a new hobby and your video has helped enormously. I'm off to search for a "quality" set now.

What brand would you say is the best to get a good but affordable glass pen?

[stevencolon]

If you get too much gunk, you can always dip it in lacquer thinner. It'll gobble the dry ink right up.

[marinabuivolova]

Thank you so much. Tell me please what kind of wipes do you use? What the name of brand? Looks very soft. Thank you so so much 💗

I just bought my first pen yesterday and this was a great first video for me to come across! Thanks for the tips!

The pink flower glass dip pen was the very first glass dip pen that I brought, but mine never came with a nib cover. I bought my second one yesterday, and this one has a cap like a pen. What I'd like to know is can you use the ink that comes with a quill and ink set?

My god glass dip pens work beautiful. I was tired of using plastic use and throw pens. Also the refillables ones, the plastic refills are nuances. Cant be recycled. Well I gave them for recycling but don't know the thereafter. So I decided to buy fountain pen and ink pot but the pen body was plastic too and ink couldn't be filled directly. It needed catridge. Only parker metallic fountain pen was available in the nearby market. Suddenly the idea of using glass dip pen came to mind. I once saw an art reel using it. I am right away placing order for glass dip pen. I know its not for regular use. I will use it for journalling.

Use a light hand too. Nearly down like with a normal pen can chip the point.

[الربقريب-بم]

Can I use water colour instead of ink or not, l am beginner

[itznightychanMwahh]

Can left handed people use it? I just ordered one right now and im a bit nervous because I'm left handed

[anthonykunalmondal.]

The rubbery tube is the cap of the pen in normal gel pen sense
But since this is rubbery and is used on a glass dip pen it's probably called the protector ( yes edgy name I know)
