My new Asvine V200 Titanium with a medium nib arrived yesterday. The vacuum filler is much smoother than any of my V126s, and on par with my TWSBI Vac 700R. I also picked up a 30 ml bottle of Diamine Earl Grey, but the number of fills I’ll be able to get with this pen is limited by the section being too wide to fit in the mouth of the bottle. I need to get different ink? Oh no!
Calculator is a TI-nspire CX CAS, and was my first calculator with a built-in CAS.
I am cursed by having a love for calculators and absolutely no need for them whatsoever. That one is lovely.
There’s a whole community for them!
I’m in IT and have no real need for them either, but they touch me right in the happy nerd center of my brain!
Looks really nice.
I was looking at maybe buying one of these at some point in the past, but was worried the plastic may crack like on the TWSBIs. Ended up getting a cheaper P126 instead.
How’s the nib? Did you go bock?
I love it. I stuck with the standard Asvine Medium since I already have six of them and they have all rocked so far. I’ve also heard some random grumblings about Bock nibs in general.
Well, the Earl Grey did not stay in this pen for too long. It was too similar to J Herbin Cacao Du Bresil and the Platinum Carbon Black that I’m using. Replaced it with Pelikan 4001 Brilliant Brown, which is much closer to orange than brown. Seeing as I just benched a pen that was filled with Diamine Sunset, having an orange-ish ink fills a niche.
