===Vanishing Point cleaning===
'''Question:''' H Ason asks, when cleaning your own vanishing points do you try to clean the door mechanism or just the nib unit?

'''Answer:'''
Brad: Almost never, although I have done it because you'll see when you extend the nab if the ink is kinda dragging on the door you'll see a little bit more ink mess on the nib. When you're putting it in the writing position that means you've probably got some extra ink or some kind of spill or leak in the kind of the nose. Of the pen but in general almost never because you have to take out the navy unit when you're cleaning the vanishing point. So you'll know. If there's extra ink around kind of the front the front nose of the pen when you do that you'll see it and most the time I I've not had any leaks or any issues with ink pulling up towards that now if my pen got jostled around a bunch you'll notice like some of the ink splatter around the nib unit when you take out to clean so then yeah I'll run some water through but I don't do anything extreme to clean out of vanishing point more than running some water through through the nose of the nose of the pen to clean out the the door in the mechanism.
