Gravitas Piston carbon black -- their flagship fountain pen (in my opinion)

The Gravitas Piston carbon black fountain pen has it all:

- The pultruded carbon looks gorgeous and gives the pen a substantial feel in your hand even though it's relatively light. This is not a cheap pen and it does not feel like a cheap pen. You're going to love writing with this one!

- I previously assumed that I might not like the big #8 nib but once you've started using this pen you're going to love the #8

- I have this pen equipped with an extra-fine nib, and combined with the black ebonite feed it is a generous writer that lays a nice and precise line on the paper

- That grip section: made from Titanium and with extremely fine micro grooves it does not even feel like metal and it doesn't feel slippery in the least! (I own three more Gravitas pens with metal sections, two Sentries and a Pocket Carbon: The section on the "Piston" is outstanding and my favorite.)

- And finally: the piston mechanism is extremely smooth and easy-going!

... Go and buy a Gravitas Piston as long as they're available!

Very nicely crafted pen. Writes very well. Time from order to delivery was excellent. Onlu issue is that the piston does not close snug with the pen and there is always a play which is a bit of disappointment. All in all very good pen.

Amazing fit and finish on a limited release pen. The pultruded carbon fiber offer an extremely unique textural feel. The #8 size PVD coated titanium nib is smooth and very wet for a fine nib. The piston filling system is very high quality held together with precise manufacturing tolerances. Everything about this pen screams "refined".

The purchasing experience with Emy at Pen Venture is very personal. He adds a touch of flair to each sale making you feel like you are a valued customer. Pen Venture and Gravitas have both earned my repeat business.

Gravitas - Piston Carbon Black - A modern example of classic Bauhaus design and a future collectable

I recently received this pen, and all I can say is wow! The material is warm in the hand, while at the same time fits my hand perfectly! I was not only impressed with the quality of the pen, (as the fit and finishing and tolerances are better than if not comparable to the likes of Pilot/Namiki, Pelican, Mont Blanc, Lamy, or Visconti, etc.) but the pen's dimensions demonstrate a design language that reflects perfect balance and weight distribution, this is something that is rarely seen in fountain pen design.

The writing experience is sublime, with the No. #8 nib (mine is an EF) demonstrating exceptional consistent ink flow and the right amount of feedback under all writing conditions. It does not skip, stall, and does not dry out! The titanium section is perfect for my pen grip, and should easily accommodate most pen grips...

Finally, the piston fill system on this pen works flawlessly with the ink window accurately showing the ink level. All in all, I definitely recommend purchasing this pen if they are available. This pen is something that has to truly be experienced in order to understand how exceptional it truly is!!!

Gravitas - Vac 2.0 Aluminium | Black

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.

Gravitas - Vac 2.0 Aluminium | Black

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 - #3776 Century Kaga Maki-e Sansui GT
Robert Moore
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!

Gravitas - Vac 2.0 Aluminium | Black
Jimmie
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!

My wonderful first Titan pen

Beautiful colour. The nib is smooth and wet. The grip section is textured, I will not worry about writing with it in hot weather. This is my first demonstrator pen, I love watching the ink level drops (very slowly) in the barrel. The package is packed very securely. Thank you staffs at Pen Venture.
