Gravitas - Dinkey Tungsten Polished – Pen Venture

Gravitas Dinkey Skittle

The steel of this particular Dinkey gives it a more distinct weight compared to similar titanium models. While it contrasts in that regard, it mirrors their quality, fit and finish. Capping, uncapping and posting all feel smooth and reliable. And the Skittle's finish it everything I had hoped for. It's vibrant, colorful and shiny, without being a finger-print magnet.

This makes my fifth Dinkey so far now. It along with the rest all arrived securely and in a timely manner thanks to everyone on the Pen Venture team.

A stunning pocket pen

This is my fourth Gravitas Dinkey, and it's a standout among them. Like my others, it's got great build quality, smooth threads, and a reliable nib. The Timascus of the body and cap is simply stunning to look at. Its array of colors is mesmerizing and the feel of the pen is smooth and glossy. While I enjoy all four of my Dinkeys, this one has become an instant favorite for me.

A very satisfying small heavy pen

The PVD coating of this pen makes it stand out, especially next to my carbon Dinkey and my zirconium Quark. I have a Kaweco Brass Sport that I don't enjoy because it is much too heavy for my taste, but this much smaller steel pen feels great in my medium-sized hand. I thoroughly enjoy it as it is the only size of steel/brass pens that I might care to use, but it's not great at the "pocket" part of being a pocket pen. I wouldn't use it for that function unless for some reason I greatly need it to be able to resist being rolled over by heavy vehicules.
As always, you can count on Pen Venture for great service.

First date with my Dinkey

My Dinkey came halfway around the world within the week.
Thank you Pen Venture team for the fantastic service.
The pen quality and finish is stunning and with the raw finish to the grip section there is no fear of the pen sliding about whilst writing.
I changed the nib out for a 1.1 mm stub which writes silky smooth.
I still like to carry my pens in my shirt pocket so for me this pen and the Quarks would be the worlds best pens if they had a clip.

GORGEOUS PEN

I love Gravitas pens. The level of precision is second to none. The pen is absolutely beautiful. The pen comes with a steel nib but I switched it up for the BB 14k nib that came in my Kakari. I cannot wait until my pen has developed the beautiful patina I expect it will. As for the way it fits my hand. I have a large hands and it fits well when posted.

Zoom 727

I was very lucky to find a Zoom 727 with Pen Venture. It’s similar to the iconic 707 but it’s slightly larger form makes it more usable for daily use. It’s none the worse for that and scooped an if Design award in 2004. Bizarrely, it’s discontinued now! Get it while you can from Pen Venture. My thanks to them for their great service.

Quark, xf

Skipped so much I had to replace the nib unit with parts from my storage. Quite disappointing. The cap now screws on, I preferred the slip cap. It's faster. It's working now but I won't be spending any more money on gravitas.

The Vac 2

The Vac 2 is a refinement of both the Monster and the previous Gravitas vac fillers. This is a very robust, beautifully balanced writer that will bring pleasure to even the most particular purchaser. The filling system holds just the right quantity of ink. Long writing sessions are a breeze without the risk of having ink sit in the pen for extended periods. I have used this pen extensively since it arrived and have found it to be consistent and reliable. The nib is smooth and flows evenly with the lightest of touches. I prefer this pen over the monster because of its size and balance. The Vac 2 becomes an extension of my hand, allowing me to forget its presence and locus entirely, focusing on what I am writing.

Excellent service. Love the pen. Thank you.
🙏🙏

Substantial, reliable, and smooth

The Gravitas Vac 2.0 is an amazing tool for handwriting. The nib is smooth, distinct, and reliable, and it has some weight due to its durable materials, black aluminium/aluminum and ultem, the perfect combination of a tool which will survive most of us, still functioning if the internal vacuum piston system is cared for. I have enjoyed this fountain pen for seven days and I am pleased to say it is one of my better ones, and it is fun to use. I recommend it.

(Emy was correct: The nib has great flow, about six drops of ink will automatically flow from the nib after I have just filled it, after that no problems; tissue paper or the ink bottle under the nib until that happens is recommended, other than that: an excellent fountain pen.)
