Gravitas - Entry Ultem – Pen Venture

Entry - ultem

Great purchase on FPD with a broad nib, great writer used as an eyedropper every day alongside my other Gravitas pens.
Great service from Emy and his team at Pen Venture as usual!

Excellent writing/drawing tool

I have it just for a week and i can say it's something that I've missed without knowing it and that's owed to the fact that it feels great in the hand, being balanced towards the tip and the very fine tuned EF nib just glides nicely on writing paper and even on the medium grain paper that I'm drawing on.
Very happy that I've decided to make this purchase, highly recommended!
Thanks a lot guys, great job!

Slim, but mighty

The entry Ultem (alongside the monster) have become my daily carries. I have eyedropper this pen and it is a beast. No leaks, no burping, and it just keeps writing. I thought it was initially too slim, but the ergonomics of this pen (and honestly all of Ben’s pens) are out of this world. It’s ruined me for all other pens. Would highly suggest this pen, will probably buy another.

A special kind of pen

This is really quite a unique one. Despite its apparent simplicity, the build quality and attention to detail become obvious the moment you hold it in your hand. Like all Gravitas pens, it has a great flowing nib, smooth, with a hint of feedback. And like all ultem pens, it is durable and eyedropper-friendly (if you're into this kind of things). What makes it special for me, though, is its balance. The fairly weighty metal section (I think it's steel - and very comfortable to hold by the way) makes it relatively front-heavy, which is really quite unique for a fountain pen. This makes it really precise in writing, and very comfortable for longer writing sessions, as your hand doesn't get tired. Together with the slim and fairly long body, it gives me a feel and writing experience somewhat reminiscent of a calligraphy dip pen. In case you prefer a more classic fountain pen experience, you can just post it - the cap posts securely and deeply, and so it doesn't add much to the length, but adds a bit of weight and girth to the back end. I wish there was a clip or some sort of roll-stopper, so the pen wouldn't roll away on my desk - but other than that small detail, I'm extremely happy with it.

Gravitas Vac 2

The construction of the Vac 2 is flawless. The textures of the materials and it's simple lines display an elegant beauty. The large steel nib delivers a pleasant writing experience and also provides a bit of flex.

Amazing Pen! Gravitas makes one of the best piston fillers out there. I dont keep the nib and normally use the pen for coustom flex nibs with Jowo #6 compatible nib units. So, i really cant speak on the nib. However, this pen is just built with high quality components. The weight, feel, and overall aesthetics are unmatched. You wont find better at this price point.

Platinum Sansui - Smooth Operator

I recently acquired the Platinum Maki-e Sansui pen in a Medium nib. The Pen Venture team was kind enough to carefully inspect and tune this pen before sending it on to me. Many thanks for that. It writes very smoothly and with a steady flow of ink. The Medium nib is my favorite nib configuration from the Platinum brand. The line width is nice and thin and always writes consistently right of the box. This lovely Maki-e pen was no different. I highly recommend it.

Gravitas #6 extra fine nib

The extra fine nib came tuned to perfection—a joy to write with. Thank you Emy!

FANTASTIC!

The VAC 2.0 is a great improvement to an already great pen (the original VAC Ultem). The weight and balance are spot on. The cap and the new threads engage without hesitation. No missed closures and the cap has a nice stop when threading back on. It posts securely without issue. Filling with the Kraken system is easy. I got a medium nib and it is smoooooooth. Mine is on par with my 823 medium nib The smoothness, wetness and bounce would make you think it's a gold nib. Line width is slightly narrower than the 823 medium. The pen feels solid and well built. I'm not worried about this one getting knocked around. Overall a great pen. Shipping from Pen-Venture to Colorado was five days! Great pen and service all around!
