I bought a Gravitas Dinky “Skittle” from Pen Venture as a giveaway for Fountain Pen Day on my YouTube channel. I also picked up a matching Pocket for myself. These were my second and third Gravitas pens, the first being an UltemateVac. It’s great that Gravitas pens are now so reliably available through Pen Venture, and shipping from Romania has been faster than from some places in the US.
The Dinky is small but mighty, and the finish is stunning. I usually lean towards more conservative designs, but the “Skittle” colorway is changing my mind. It’s also been the most talked-about pen among my subscribers. The vibrant anodized design is eye-catching, and the build quality is excellent. It feels solid despite its tiny size and can almost get lost in my pocket. However, it posts securely, making it comfortable even in my larger hands, even for longer writing sessions. The #5 Fine nib writes smoothly with a precise, slightly feedbacky feel — perfect for quick notes. Overall, it’s a fun, colorful pocket pen that brings a smile to my face every time I use it. I highly recommend it for anyone seeking a well-made, compact pen!
The Gravitas Dinkey Tungsten is certainly diminutive in size, but no less capable than any of my other pens. There is a certain heft to the pen born out by its weight at 54 gm with an ink cartridge installed. For me, the weight provides a certain comfort when holding & writing with this particular model.
Impeccable service from the seller. The pen is one more of Gravitas' little wonders, a pleasure to hold in my hands and feel it discreetly in my pocket. I have this and the ZIRCONIUM first edition, and both I use as eyedropper, without any situation. Very satisfied and happy. Maybe worried about my addiction, but only slightly....
I have been collecting Gravitas fountain pens for a couple years now. I have to say the Dinkeys are my favorites by far. Absolutelly loving them, they are the perfect size for me and so slim too. Could not be happier with them. Also shipping and handling from pen venture has made the experience of buying them so much better. Very pleased.
Overall this is a well-constructed pocket pen made from a unique material. The small size means it fits in any pocket.
The section is well designed and makes the pen secure and comfortable to hold, and the size 6 nib (EF) looks good and writes very nicely. For quick note taking, the Dinkey is more convenient than the similarly sized Gravitas Quark, which requires that the cap be screwed onto the barrel, taking a moment or two to prevent cross-threading.
A couple of quibbles:
First, the delrin inner cap was only friction fitted and not firmly fixed in place.
Second, the cap does not post deeply, and so tends to wobble around unless attached to the end of the pen with a bit of force.
Finally, the pen is not cheap, and a plainer, non-crystallized titanium finish might suit those looking for a less expensive pen.
Communication from Pen Venture was excellent - including a hand-written note from Emy - and the pen arrived within a few days via DHL. Thanks!
