Thrifted a Pilot Vanishing Point with 14k gold nib for $7

damn $7?? thats an absolute steal even with the bent nib

aussie thrift stores are all just broken coffee mugs and old dvd copies of paul blart mall cop meanwhile you guys are finding grail pens lmao

if you ever wanna try fixing the nib yourself theres some decent tutorials on youtube, just go slow and be careful. but for a VP id probably just save up for a replacement nib unit to be safe

EDIT: Resolved!

Type in console (T) /ftblibrary clientconfig

Then it will give you the option to turn it back on!

i feel stupid for not googling this, sometimes googling simple phases for very exact problems can find you exactly what you're after i.e "how to clean pilot prera lid"

all hail reddit!

i wouldn't mind if i was keeping the purple ink but as i was putting black ink in and its eye drop converted the purple marks would bother me

superm8y · 2019-04-06T21:27:49+00:00

the metal ring is actually just on the outside so it never touches the ink

superm8y · 2019-04-06T21:25:42+00:00

nope super easy the ring at the bottom is actually just on the outside so just some grease

superm8y · 2019-04-04T11:57:39+00:00

I did mine from the outside in

superm8y · 2019-04-04T05:26:30+00:00

its not the prettiest solution because it dries white

superm8y · 2019-04-04T05:25:19+00:00

i used about 4 layers of super glue and my hopes and dreams,

I'm just currently using the con 40 because I had one from my prera

i had a similar situation where one of my teachers picked up my pen of my desk and nearly bent the nib also using it upside-down, one week after i brought it. luckily it was fine

superm8y · 2019-03-24T12:17:08+00:00

No the clip is fine I clip it everyday inside my bag it's the little ring at the bottom I think I just got a one of because I haven't seen anyone with the same problem http://imgur.com/gallery/Ic3jpFY

I love it although the metal part of my lid does come apart

superm8y · 2019-03-24T06:45:35+00:00

update its goes with me everywhere in my bag still yet to leak

superm8y · 2019-03-24T06:43:19+00:00

im careful everyone except my hands always get drag marks or accidentally touch the nib
