HongDian N6 fountain pen

Today I have prepared for your view another Hong Dian fountain pen - Hong Dian N6, piston filler.
There seems to be an issue with these pens, and I will be going through it in as much detail as possible - sorry for the lengthy video. Comparing and explaining the issue and how to go around it took me a little bit of time.

In the end, this is a nice fountain pen but unfortunately makes me wonder about the longevity of the piston filler system that they have - could use some improvement.

Enjoy!

P.S. - Also, I apologize for my head getting in the way (halfway through the time lapse); only realized it got in the way when I was putting the video together.

I tend to confuse terms sometimes, so I apologize for that. I correct myself in the subtitles - so if by any chance something doesn't make sense, look at the subtitles - things might make more sense.
