Does it come with a "VP twist converter" as part of the package? By looking at the picture of this twist converter, it looks it does not hold much ink in there.

New VPs should include a cartridge and a converter.

...I have but one word for the VP writing experience: dreamy. I've loaned my VP to my closest friends (and they were very careful when handling it, especially when I told them the price tag...not that it would faze any veterans on this board) and here were the key words and phrases from their comments: buttery, smooth, silky, writes by itself, oooh, aaah, and I want one! One fountain pen aficianado was so taken by the blue-black color that she couldn't believe it came from a cartridge. People are amazed that they can write a line by simply dragging the nib along the paper and letting the weight of the VP do all the work.

scrollpoint,

 

Thank you for sharing your very nice handwritings with your review. Your but one word: dreamy observation is pretty much my first impression of the VP as well. I personally find the design very pleasing and carry them pretty much everywhere. For my uses, I do not find the small ink capacity much of an issue, but I am sure there other makes and models much better suited for high volume writers.

Super. Thanks for this info. World Lux's web site did not provide that info on a VP. Is there a only way type of twist converter available for a VP?

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
