New Pilot Pens And Tactile Turn Now At Vanness Pens (Sponsor)

It’s no secret that Pilot is my favorite fountain pen brand, and Vanness Pens has added two of the best models to their ever expanding product lineup.

The Pilot Custom 823 has been a revelation since I bought one of my own a few months back. The size, shape, and weight of the pen are perfect for long writing sessions. Combine that with the large ink capacity and vacuum filling system you could go weeks between refills.

The Pilot Vanishing Point is another favorite of mine, and the only retractable fountain pen you should consider. The mechanism works flawlessly, and the pen as a whole is easy to clean and maintain. New barrels colors are launched each year, and the new Blue Matte model is in stock and stunning.

Tactile Turn is the newest brand to hit the shelves at Vanness Pens, featuring fountain pen barrels made from Polycarbonate, Titanium, and even rare metals like Damascus Steel. These unique designs are made to withstand any situation you can put them in and make for the perfect every day carry pen.

My thanks to Vanness Pens for sponsoring The Pen Addict this week.

Bung Box Ink And Platinum Pens At Vanness Pens (Sponsor)

Hard to find fountain pen inks are easy to buy from Vanness Pens. From P.W. Akkerman , to Bung Box , to KWZ Standard and Iron Gall inks they have you covered. Not only do they carry full bottles of each of these brands and more, they offer large 4 ml ink samples so you can try several fills of an ink before committing to a full bottle. This is especially helpful with some of the high end inks like Bung Box.

What does Vanness Pens do with all of those empty ink bottles they have around the shop? They sell them with a wonderful added bonus: Free engraving. These make for a great desk display or refill bottle for other inks.

Vanness Pens isn't just an ink shop, they carry all the big pen brands, including a recently expanded Platinum fountain pen lineup. With nibs ranging from the narrow Ultra Extra Fine to the wide Music, Platinum nibs perform as well or better than any on the market. And at Vanness, all Platinum Pens are listed at 20% off suggested retail.

Whether it is pens, inks, or even custom engraving, Vanness Pens has you covered. My thanks to them for sponsoring The Pen Addict this week.
