== Uniball Vision Elite ==


'''Brad Dowdy:''' One thing I like about this pen and why I recommend it so much is this pen is considered airplane safe by Uniball, which I get that mail a lot. Whoa.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah, I'm knocking things over with the phone cord, but it's okay.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I wasn't sure you were coming back.

'''Myke Hurley:''' No, I'm back.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' But this plane is considered – Uniball markets this as airplane safe, which means you're not going to get an exploded pocket full of ink or an exploded backpack full of ink when you travel. So that's – this is a – one, it's very popular for that. And two, it's an exceptionally smooth writing liquid ink pen. And I really like it a lot, but I like the Uniball Vision Elite Micro as opposed to their – I think they call it the Fine, which is a 0.8 millimeter. Did you come up with that pen?

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yep. It's called the Uniball Vision Elite.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Okay.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah, I have one. I don't – mine isn't the Micro. Okay. What drew me to this pen is it – I do prefer fountain pens. And this pen has the – for me, it had the smoothness, like the smooth feel of a fountain pen.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I would agree with that completely. It's a similar type of water-based ink.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah. Yeah, it feels very good. It's a very, very comfortable feel.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yep. And actually, in what Uniball has done recently is they have this thing called Super Ink Technology, which is – this could be a long show.

'''Myke Hurley:''' No, no, no. I just think that the name, like, is –

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, well, they actually have a robot. He's pretty cool. But they have a Super Ink Technology. And that's this whole check washing marketing they did probably. They started – it's been around for a while, but they started pushing it a couple years ago. And the ink properties across all the Uniball products now are moving to the Super Ink Technology where the ink really sinks into the paper. And it's supposed to be a protection, a security measure. So your checks can get edited and washed and re-signed. And it's good for signing other documents and things like that where your name can get washed out of the page and then someone forged your name.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I'd like to see how that works in real life. I just feel like that sort of stuff, these people are smart enough that they will – they'll find a way around it.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, yeah. I haven't done any experiments on that.

'''Myke Hurley:''' So you have a drawing pen.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Which interested me.
