reddit.comTwo questions, if I may:
- Does the section unscrew from the barrel?
- Is the section metal or plastic?
Looks like a lovely pen. Thx!

You absolutely may!
The section does not unscrew from the barrel. I’ve yet to do an ink switch, so I haven’t had the need to clean it thoroughly. When I do, I’ll be unscrewing the nib unit to get to the inside of the barrel if necessary.
The section is Titanium. It has a bit of a matte finish, so is not at all slippery.

Whoa, that's a pretty cool demonstrator. Never owned one yet. I also like it's Titanium and it's quite cheap (~$50).
Would love to see an update when you try the <F, EF>. I tend to lean on those line widths.
Are they mimicking a specific nib brand or style? I see them selling their own branded ones but I'm not sure if others are interchangeable.

I’ll post a follow up when the new nibs arrive. Usually 12 days for AliExpress to my home.

You can get it with a Bock nib for ~$10 more.
I read a bunch of reviews, and this one and the many comments on fountainpennetwork.com lead me to the Asvine nib over the Bock.
The first part of the linked post has pictures/sales material in Chinese from the original offering on Taobao. Comments/reviews are in English.

Interesting. The only experience I had was with a Stilform Kosmos Ink fountain pen and I really loved it. But I also did hear Bock quality control is off and it's terrible on some pens... i think.
I'm looking forward to your update! 😺

The P36 makes my third pen from Asvine. The first two had perfect nibs, so I was comfortable skipping the Bock option.

I like the Asvine nibs as well, although I go for an EF. Good review, now I’m tempted again.

What is the ink inside the pen in the last question?

Diamine Aurora Borealis.
One of my favorites from the blue/teal family.

You really think it's a good tactic to just randomly spam this in every thread?

Just received this Asvine P36 from Amazon.
After trying out the Asvine V126 and being very happy with the quality, I ordered the P36.
I can find absolutely no flaws. The nib <M> is smooth and wet. The piston action is silky smooth. Fit and finish are excellent. The design of the plunger assembly makes it look a bit less "busy" than other piston fillers.
Also ordered nib assemblies in <F> and <EF> for about $5 a piece from AliExpress.
Overall, very happy with this purchase.
Thanks for posting these images and for your positive comments. I’ve been hesitating to buy one of these as a gift for my adult son. He is an engineer and appreciates fine quality but I have no experience of Asvine pens. I’ve seen good reports of other models. It looks like a very fine pen indeed. The Titanium has a particular sheen don’t you think?
