Great to see you found your perfect pen. The retractable feature makes it great for school. 😊
Thank you, Dash! I couldn't agree more. The retractable feature is so convenient. I can't believe I avoided the Vanishing Point for so long. 😀
Great video, I love hearing your thoughts. Very helpful. I bought a MM A1 and really, really like it - which was a total surprise as I had no interest in a $200 clicker. Now, I feel the real pilot VP could be my grail pen with a gold nib (I don't have a gold nib pen yet). I was thinking M nib in 18k. Listenning to your video on an empty stomach and I think I heard your tummy rumbling on the mic. Thanks for your sacrifice!
The shading with the Vanishing Point Fine Nib is much better than with the Extra Fine. When I buy a Vanishing Point, now I know which nib to get. Excellent review!!!
Thank you! And I agree, the fine nib on the Vanishing Point is perfect. 😀
1. Congratulations on finding your ideal pen. It sure simplifies things, doesn't it? My New Pen Fever was pretty much cured when I realized the Sailor Pro Gear was the pen for me.
2. That's an amazing range of colors for one ink coming out of so many different nibs. It must be a particularly transparent ink. Shocking to see an wetter AND lighter than an .
3. My experience has been that the broader the nib, from to , the better the performance, so I tend to use the broadest nib that works for a given situation. Also I am keeping my eyes open for a .
Thank you, Ichiro! It certainly has simplified things. I have received so much enjoyment from the pens and inks that I've had the good fortune of experiencing, but I'm getting just as much enjoyment now, knowing what pen I'm reaching for when it's time to write.
I've always thought of Colorverse Dark Energy as a very saturated ink, but you're right, it really lightens up coming out of the medium steel nib. This ink definitely benefits from being used with a wet nib.
I agree, the broader the nib, the more it's able to mask any unsteadiness in my hand. Writing smaller has the same effect, but I have to write smaller than is comfortable to get the same effect with an extra fine nib. nib...that sounds like fun! 😀
I love the EF nib, but it really is 'fine'... as is needed for writing japanese letters. I only really use it with a good quality paper, such as the 90gsm Rhodia or Clairefontaine paper.... and I just live Noodlers Heart of Darkness black ink 😊
Thanks so much for your videos! They're always really enjoyable and informative. I was wondering about your Pilot steel-nib pens. Which model do you think has the best cap seal/least evaporation? I've been trying to love my Kakuno for years and years because I love the writing experience but the ink just evaporates right out of there. So I'm trying to find a new body for the nib, one that keeps all its ink in. Thanks much!
Thank you, Judy! I've had good luck with all my steel Pilot nibs, but I mainly use wet, saturated inks like Iroshizuku, DeAtramentis, Taccia...
I did have one experience with my Prera (F) where it would not write with Herbin Lierre Sausage because the ink would dry out in the nib. I had a similar experience with my Pilot Metropolitan, but not long after I discovered that it had a crack in the section, so I'm thinking that was the problem. I haven't noticed any issues with my Kaküno because I only use it for short term writing tests.
there was a Montblanc ink called red chalk which I’ve tried and liked but my current favourite, which is similar to this Colorverse ink, is St Exupéry - tend to prefer Montblanc inks as they are not excessively wet and the EF lines I’m writing don’t spread out:); like yourself, I’m aware I am increasingly gravitating towards a couple of pens but have not sold the pens I bought earlier on in my journey as my collection will go to my nephew when I’m done and his preferences are likely to be different from mine:)
That's the ink I've heard about. This Colorverse ink makes a very fine, crisp line...a little too fine for my size writing. When I compare this ink to the Pilot blue ink cartridge that I used previously, the blue ink did spread and make a slightly wider line, which is better suited to my writing. My girls have both tried fountain pens and my oldest really likes hers, but she doesn't need (or want) to write with a physical pen and paper much at all. My youngest is a college student and writes quite a bit, but prefers gel pens. I'd like for them each to choose a pen from my collection and then sell the rest.
