Great pen! I have matte black. How is writing with the new texture?

Here it next to the pilot and straight up no worse, the surface is nice but more slippery than Capless

Is it just me do you have massoov hands? The pen looks tiny in your hand.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

No, my hands quite normal 😁 Here is apple pencil for scale

That texture! It looks like a Vanishing Point - is it?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (3 children)

It’s a clone made by a Chinese company. But people seem to love them! I’m considering trying one myself, though I already have a few vanishing points.

This textures is new, you should try, A1 is very nice writer

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

It looks interesting. I just might!

I haven't had the best luck with vanishing point nibs but do have the bodies - do you know if they're cross compatible?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yes, they are. You can only get these in an EF nib, but it's a good writer.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Awesome, thank you!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Yes, they should be. I think there was a YouTube video about how they are compatible. Off the top of my head, I think the YouTuber was Inkquiring Minds? I can’t access YouTube where I am right now.

They're well worth trying! I actually prefer the A2, which is kind of their version of the old faceted Decimo. It's made of plastic instead of metal, and as such it's lighter and slightly thinner.
