Description
V1 80U Reusable Research Pen
The V1 80U Reusable Pen is the original classic V-series design and remains a firm favourite among reusable pen users thanks to its solid metal construction, slim profile, straightforward operation and generous 80-unit adjustment range.
Unlike the later V2 and V3 variants, which commonly offer a maximum 60-unit setting, the V1 provides adjustment from 1–80 units in whole-unit increments, giving it one of the widest adjustment ranges in this style of reusable pen. Its traditional closed-cap design protects the cartridge assembly when stored while maintaining the clean, familiar profile that made the original V1 so popular.
Constructed from metal with a compact, reusable design, the V1 is built for repeated use with compatible 3ml pen cartridges and standard screw-on pen needle interfaces. Once a cartridge has reached the end of its useful life, the pen itself can simply be retained and reused with a compatible replacement cartridge.
Its simple mechanical design, positive adjustment action and substantial metal construction have helped the V1 maintain a strong following even as V2, V3 and other designs have entered the market. Community discussions continue to regularly recommend the V1, particularly the 80-unit version, for users wanting a straightforward and robust reusable pen format.
