I bought a Pilot Vanishing Point (in another store, long story) with a defective nib and I couldn't return it because I don't live in the USA. Knowing that Goulet is a trusted store, I bought a replacement nib and brought it to my country through a forwarding service. The extra expense was totally worth it! My new nib writes beautifully. Thank you Goulet Pens!!!!

The Goulet Pen Company is first rate in advice and in product. Vanishing pen writes beautifully and the replacement nibs make its use even better

I did not want to buy this replacement. It costs nearly as much as the whole pen cost me in the first place. Alas, I am accident prone, and I should not have nice things (and this pen is a very nice thing).. I dropped my first one, while it was open, and it landed directly on the nib. The first time, I used rubberized jewelry pliers to straighten it out. Even after the second time doing so, it remained my favorite pen for use at work (my work requires a pen without a cap that I can drop into the various abysses). The third time, the plastic tip of the nib holder broke (and I searched desperately for it in order to try one last time at repairing it...)The price is painful, being that this is a replacement part and I do wish Pilot sold smaller replacement parts, but I think you get what you pay for with this, because it is an outstanding fine-point bottle-refillable: not leaky, scratchy or prone to clogging.

I love my vanishing point pens. I find the med and fine nibs are inconsistent with regard to ink flow. If I could have tried before I bought I would have gone with fine instead of medium.

The Vanishing Point replacement nib unit in fine works like a charm. I bought it to replace the extra-fine that I ordered with the pen originally. The extra-fine works great but is not ideal for my big, loopy handwriting. The fine is perfect for me and I like the smoothness. I’ll keep the extra-fine for accounting and recording statistics. It’s easy to swap them whenever you want.

People say it's scratchy but once you break it in it's smooth and the best, finest extra fine nib you can get.

What is there to say? Pilot is freakin’ fantastic! I love the Vanishing Point and the medium nib! Goulet pens is my go to pen supplier! Thanks for the great quality and variety of pens, paper and other accessories! Now I just need a Goulet Pens Company t-shirt or hoodie! Are those available? If not, hint-hint😉😁.

All the best to the Goulet Pen Company peeps!

Thanks,

I bought this to replace an nib that I didn’t like. This nib is perfect for almost anything I want to do. It’s quite a bit juicier than the nib, so there’s a bit more bleed through on copier paper, but it’s narrow enough to write on grid paper without loss of legibility. And the nib is almost as smooth as the nib on my wrist and the strap on Custom 823 nib.
If you want a smoother alternative to your VP’s nib, get a spare nib and swap it out as needed.

I dropped my fountain pen with the nib exposed and of course it fell nib first into the ground. Immediately it bent and so I purchased this one as a replacement. Works just as well as the original one, (it shouldSince it's made by Pilot exactly for this pen), and I amVery happy with it. An expensive error to make, I will try to be more careful in the future.

Great quality that you'd expect however be aware the nibs with the vanishing point seem to be slightly broader than other pilot pens I have in my collection.

I had a medium- it was too broad. The idea of the new one costing almost $100.00 was a bit much! I do like the point now! Should have gotten it on my original purchase..

Very satisfied with the nib unit as an alternative to the extra fine I bought originally. Very smooth for a fine Japanese nib.

Easy to switch the nib unit and writes like a dream

good price fast delivery!!

My Pilot Vanishing Point EF Black Nib Unit order arrived quickly & I'm enjoying it immensely, will definitely be ordering a variety of Pilot Vanishing Point Nib units from this seller in the future!

I love my Pilot Decimo Vanishing Point. The extra fine nib is a really fine nib. Thank you to Anita who always packed my order with a slightly ridiculous amount of care.

Absolutely fantastic. I had accidentally dropped my dropped my vanishing point a little while ago and bent the living **** out of The nib. However thanks to you guys, My vanishing point is writing like it's brand new again! It couldn't be happier every purchase I made with you guys has been a breeze. I loved how intricately and well packaged the unit came. Shows how much you guys care. Thanks again.

I've heard that the VP extra fine nibs are sometimes a bit of a hit or miss with how scratchy they feel, but I was genuinely impressed! It TRULY is an EXTRA fine nib and puts down such a thin line / makes my handwriting TINY, but it feels smooth while doing so! Really enjoying this nib so far and I think I might even prefer it to my original fine nib. The package was shipped quickly and packaged with care. Thanks, Goulet team!

Writes excellent.

This nib is awesome. I have loved using it for note taking. It certainly saves on paper. It's a bit scratchy but that is to be expected with the extra fine nib. Still writes very smooth for being so fine. Unfortunately my pen fell on the floor the other day and this nib got smashed hoping to purchase another one soon.

Backstory: Had a Pilot Vanishing Point (matte-black), which I bought locally as a demo, since at the time the pen was seemingly back-ordered till the end of time, at the time. Pen was generally good, but the nib never seemed to write as well as I felt it should. Eventually sent it off to Pilot for repair, with a request for a cost estimate; they responded about a month later by sending me a new, replacement Vanishing Point at no charge (because, apparently that's how Pilot rollscount me as a fan for life). Fast-forward to several months back, when somehow (still not sure *just* how), I managed to mangle the previously-perfect M nib of the pen. Wondered where I'd get a replacement quickly, and remembered Goulet selling them. Got online and promptly bought a replacement, this time a F nib in black-ion plating (because murdered-out VP). Writes wonderfully, and reasonably priced for what you're getting (18k).

It writes great and and was well packaged which is important. When the unit is detached from the housing things get dicey. Great job!

I like the extra fine point. It is hard to fill when the level of ink in the bottle drops below 1.5 cm, but that's the way it is with other fountain pens. Best to get ink in a user-friendly bottle.

It may be proprietary, but the fact of the ease of swap and that these gold nibs are a pleasure to use, these nib units are fantastic

The VP EF nib unit replaced one that I destroyed while trying to make it write more smoothly. The replacement was a whole lot smoother and meets expectations. In writing that, you need to realise that a Japanese nib that says EF on it is going to be just that and it is quite likely that it might be a bit scratchy compared with say a European M nib. An EF nib on rubbish paper will not be a happy experience compared with using it on quality paper.But now I am satisfied; the fine-ness of the line is beautiful, the nib writes smoothly and all is well with the world.

When my original Pilot Vanishing Point nib stopped flowing well, even after cleaning with Goulet solution, this was a good solution to keep my VP in service. Expensive but less than replacing the pen. And the Goulet training videos are helpful on refilling and replacing. My only disappointment: nib is not as 'matte black' as displayed.

A very nice fine point nib for my Vanishing point. I tend to like broader nibs in general but wanted to give a fine a try. This has a smooth flow, though like all Vanishing Point nibs it is stiff, and hard to fill to capacity.

I absolutely love my Pilot vanishing point pen. It is hands down my favorite writing instrument ever. I journaled every day for 8 years and logged hundreds of hours with mine. Just ordered the extra-fine tip as a replacement for my Fine insert. I write super small when I journal, and this tip made a huge difference. Should have gotten it sooner!

My pen nib arrived earlier than expected and was overly packaged for safety. Great service.
