Gravitas - Monster Aluminium | Black – Pen Venture

A modern yet classic piece of working art

This pen is everything hoped for, and everything I had heard it would be. With a little bit of luck it will be a go to pen for many years to come. Minimalistic yet beautiful and sleek in its design. I love this nib (medium) as it is smooth and writes like glass. Well worth the price point in my mind and it shipped quickly to boot. It has been in my EVD carry bag since I filled all 7ml up. Long journal sessions are a joy with it as it is not too large for my hand and just feels perfect weight wise. You might get the sense I sort of am gushing a bit. I am. I haven’t found much about this pen so far I don’t like. Hope this helps! Happy writing!!

the Gravitas Monster Fountain Pen

I recently bought the Gravitas Monster fountain pen Black from Pen Venture, after hearing so many good things about it - and I’m glad I did. The pen looks fantastic and feels solid in hand. All the parts fit perfectly, and you can really sense the quality of the workmanship. The fine nib writes beautifully, smooth and precise. I especially appreciate that the Pen Venture team checked and adjusted the nib before shipping, which made it perfect right out of the box. It also comes in a sturdy case that keeps it safe from damage, and the large ink capacity is a great bonus for longer writing sessions. Overall, the Gravitas Monster is a well-made, reliable pen that’s a joy to use. Great product, great service - highly recommended!

Gravitas Monster Black

The pen was larger than expected but with good weight and balance. I can get use to the size. Nib out of the box is wet and smooth. If any complain I wish there is a small brass roll stopper at the widest part of the cap and even less turn to uncap.

Excellent pen, delightful purchase.

I've waited a couple of weeks to review from purchase. For context, I've owned the pen for about three weeks, I've written through one super fill, around ~800 words in total. The pen is the black model, with a fine nib.

Overall, the Gravitas Monster is my favorite fountain pen I've owned. The ebonite feed makes the Monster write wetter than the Ultemate Vac Filler, which was my one compliant of that pen. The pen is large, but for my hands, a perfect size. One of the only pens, other than the 149, which I don't have to post to write comfortably. The Monster is perfectly manufactured and well designed, I love the contemporary design, it's unique in a sea of cigar-shaped, plastic pens.

Pen Venture was quick to ship, their shipping notifications numerous and helpful, and I was pleasantly surprised to see a hand-written note of thanks from the PV team. Something no company in my country would ever do.

A must-have ....

I saw Emy's review on the website and was impressed. I have several Gravitas fountain pens, but none with an ebonite ink feed. I bought it in black with a broad nib. Emy wrote to me, that he had tested the nib before. The innovative filling system with the large ink capacity blew me away. It writes beautifully, smoothly, and wet – a real pleasure. Emy, thank you and Penventure for the brilliant service and fast delivery. I absolutely recommend 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!
