The Pen Addict 313/Transcript
Speaker 1: TP a questions to to in this up on first one I thought was a really good question for both of us because we asked both have individual experience with the so Jocasta bono says I'm a find it kinda guy but really want the sailor pro gear great purple cosmos which comes with the zoom now how does that stack up I've read it can be broad medium or fine depending on how you hold the pen thanks.
Speaker 1: So you.
Speaker 0: Got a zoom nip in a recent sailors that correct yep I have in the nineteen eleven tangerine.
Speaker 1: Okay and I had a zoom in on I forget the name of it out Stardust galaxy or starburst something like that so I can assume that when that.
Speaker 1: I thought I would like it I ended up not liking it.
Speaker 0: Okay.
Speaker 1: It was so it's.
Speaker 1: I blocky type of nearby that yes you can buy the angle you hold it vertically to the page can change the with the line broad medium are fine I really got to that find level maybe if you flip the nip over but I know yeah that's right like that I don't yeah.
Speaker 0: I don't know right now that does.
Speaker 1: As a.
Speaker 0: I think this is it what might be for the first time something I have more experience than you want.
Speaker 1: Which is very interesting.
Speaker 1: Yeah because I got mine ground into like a fishhook architect and then I sold it so.
Speaker 0: Unless I name I didn't like it maybe I should.
Speaker 1: Answer this question.
Speaker 0: So I would say that they're kind of there isn't three areas some of this is there's really kinda too you can define all you can do brought that's how I found it to be because I don't know the the the broad side you can kind of you can vary a little bit but it's more tricky to do way is way more simple to like you hold the net in one orientation is brought you flip over onto his backside and it's fine right like that's way easier to do than to try and like angle it in such a way that you can also get a medium line so my my I would say that once it's possible to do I don't think that that is.
Speaker 0: V. really something you should consider is going to happen here like you most of the time you're gonna get brought a fine and the fines so when you're using the the net upside down basically.
Speaker 0: He.
Speaker 0: That is not a great experience as a fine nip it's obviously I mean think about it is never going to be as comfortable to use because it's super we had you know like it works and it works fine and is a good find it but it's no where near as good of a sale of fine nips and like that mall regula I however really recommend this pen and this new because it's super weird and fun I love using my nineteen eleven because I can do silly things with it and the the zoom you know the regular side the broad side is super brought and I love that like but if that's not your thing don't go for it like it if you don't think you would enjoy the at the broad experience then don't do it because that's what you'll end up using most because once the finance side works it's not super comfortable it doesn't feel really great and you kind of have to be pretty particular about how you're holding I've found to get a consistent inflow.
Speaker 1: Yes I am I like in this debate to a chisel tip marker like I really enjoy chisel tip markers but I don't use them to write with every day you have to have a special occasion to write with this so from using fines or extra fines and expect to have that individual variance in this pen I'm gonna be disappointed now and I was on so you know you gotta gotta that this is one that you if you ever had the opportunity to to test drive one to see what you really think like mine was really good I bought it as an experiment to see if I would like it turns out I didn't but Mike really likes this because it fits quite some of the things that Mike does with his writing and other people really like and it's a really cool idea it just depends on what your expectations are to get a yes no.
Speaker 0: Yeah I feel like if if if roads are not your thing then you should probably not do this.
Speaker 1: Yeah yep so's sitting in the sun says what's the best pen for receipt paper I work retail want something nicer than a big stick.
Speaker 1: So big sticks are actually pretty good for receipt paper.
Speaker 0: I'd look at.
Speaker 1: The.
Speaker 1: If you want like a true upgrade either of the universal jet stream or pilot alcohol which you can get at the store on the store shelf those are going to do real well on the receipt paper.
Speaker 1: Outside of that here just into your basic ball points like the ink joy the paper made enjoy which I was sleepy as good as the enjoy gel pens are I did not have a great experience with those ball point so I'd be looking at a jet stream or an actor Paul maybe an acrobat all because you can get those and like a their little bit cheaper little bit thinner have a little bit better grip then the jet stream so any confinement at all cut to store so it's really cool.
Speaker 1: Evan Max I think is in the chat room today Mike but if it's not both will embarrassing regardless.
Speaker 0: And.
Speaker 1: This is a question I don't know the answer to which is why I love this question all the steel italic stubbornness.
Speaker 1: That I've seen available to buy off the shelf or on tipped lami pilot name is seen Quebec of X. after the only steel italic meds I seem a tipping material on them are custom ground after the factory is there a reason for this other than saving costs on cheaper still knows for not tipping them I never noticed the lack of tipping.
Speaker 1: On steel nibs.
Speaker 0: You explain what tipping is.
Speaker 1: So it's essentially consider it like for you look grabbing your gold depends and the tip of the net has basically a.
Speaker 0: Ball.
Speaker 1: Of metal there that's been shaped into whatever shape than it should be so you can have a broad net pen and it looks like it'll raced around that area okay that's the tipping the very literal the literal tip of the.
Speaker 0: Of the pen.
Speaker 1: Of the NYP.
Speaker 1: So a lot of steel nibs their talent.
Speaker 1: And stop nips like the pilot ones not tipped at all and I love him the lobby ones are not to tell I love them.
Speaker 1: The twisty ones are not tipped at all but they're rounded and softer like they have a wider.
Speaker 1: Death to the steel if you will so while they don't necessarily have the big tipping.
Speaker 1: You know they do have that softer.
Speaker 1: Rounder feel in the nab as opposed to like the pilot nibs why that's the reason I don't know.
Speaker 1: I just cannot.
Speaker 1: Think of what that could be so I'd be interesting to know if any listeners have any idea while still nebs don't have that tipping where gold lives do I have to actually look at some gold stubbed its almost never by trying to think what gold stubbornness I half like I've got gold broad needs that I've had ground into a stubs there's been plenty of tipping bear but I did an aftermarket grind off the this is something I have to think about it so it's a interesting question I never thought about it that way honestly because I feel like that the steel feel of the era.
Speaker 1: Of the new jobs yeah the sharpness of the like the italic so.
Speaker 1: Yeah like the chat rooms yelling at me because they shouldn't be they're saying that they shouldn't be tipped to begin with because to get that line variation.
Speaker 1: So yeah which that makes complete sense.
Speaker 1: So you know within a Taliban StubHub you get now a final words on a line in a sticker vertical line you don't want the tipping to.
Speaker 0: Like.
Speaker 1: Dissuaded from that that type shape so yeah maybe that's why.
Speaker 1: Alright last question Sara what's an outhouse up greater internet treating you when can we expect some twitch streaming so the upgraded internet I wish I was at my house but it's at the at the remote pen addict off office space and it's kind of amazing because my in ice yes studio be Mike and eyes.
