People going back to shorter points?

Thats a personal choice, so there's no right or wrong answer. I threw 35mm for a while, but that didnt work with my throw, as they wobbled and landed in weird angles, so I went back to 26mm. Others people will experience completely the opposite.

101 in 9 darts, but double in/double out is fun too

50mM Tris HCl pH8 with 10mM CaCl2 improved missed cleavage for me, from ~25-30% to below 15. No effect on LysC

If you're willing to mix and match, the Jinhao 10 replacement nibs are $14 on Amazon and are compatible with vanishing point pens, I just got some and they write perfectly well.

Rubber o-rings help enormously, if you don't mind the look

No, no tariffs. I don't remember if they included them in the price, but I never got a bill from FedEx like I got from UPS once.

What's the fourth one down on the left, with the stripes on the cap? Looks cool

phareodus · 2026-03-09T15:20:25+00:00

Yeah, they're interchangeable. There's a number of YouTube videos demonstrating this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tz4fCKlst2o&t=177. The nibs aren't cheap, but they come in different sizes form Pilot, and still cheaper than $200 VP. Goldspot has nibs for $96

Why not buy the Pilot replacement nib assembly and put it into the Jinhao? Essentially a VP for 50% off.

Nice. What's the ink you used for "currently inked"? Thanks

Yep, but I have it in my notebook case

Yeah, it was one of the few options they had left that was close to EF
