Discover a fountain pen like no other! The TaG Submarine is packed with subtle engineering details and a hidden "turbine" mechanism that lets you prime the feed on demand—no fuss, no gimmicks, just clever design. In this in-depth, top-down review, I break down every aspect of the Submarine: from its fluted, precision-milled body and concrete finial, to the smooth Schmidt nib and that unique converter trick. No comparisons, no hype—just an honest look at what makes this pen stand out (and who it’s really for). Full transparency: TaG provided this pen for review, but as always, you’ll get my unfiltered thoughts—the good, the quirks, and whether it’s worth your desk space. 🛒 Gear Used in This Video: • Pen : TaG Submarine Fountain Pen - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DBTNFWG5?maas=maas_adg_2B97E8D4E4C9FA68C3F13AD45646829D_afap_abs&ref_=aa_maas&tag=maas&th=1 • Paper : Rhodia A5 Dotgrid 80gsm - https://amzn.to/40C67zy • INK : Platinum Carbon Black - https://amzn.to/41jypzn 💬 Join the Conversation!

About This Video

In this video I’m taking a top-down, no-hype look at the TaG Submarine fountain pen—because it’s one of those pens that’s quietly packed with engineering details. I walk through the first impressions, the feel of that fluted, precision-milled body, and the overall fit and finish (including the concrete finial, which is a very specific vibe). This isn’t a “best pen ever” kind of review—my goal is to show you what it actually is, what it does well, and what quirks you need to know before you give it desk space. The star of the show is the hidden “turbine” mechanism in the finial. I explain how it works as a practical, on-demand way to prime the feed—no fuss, no gimmicks, just a clever solution for getting ink moving when you need it. I also cover nib performance (this one uses a smooth Schmidt nib), then I do a writing sample on Rhodia A5 dot grid with Platinum Carbon Black so you can see real-world line quality and behavior. TaG sent the pen for review, but you’re still getting my unfiltered take on who this pen is really for.
