A Conid On Its Way

[Athas]

 

Is there any further news on this?

 

I was informed by email that the CAISO models will not be back until April next year, so I guess they got delayed.

Thank you. That's not what I wanted to hear but of course these things happen. I'll intensify my search for a used one, but everyone seems to love their Conid's too much to sell Normally I wouldn't mind waiting but I suffered some nerve damage last year that's making holding narrow pens a literal pain, so I feel like a Kingsize would be perfect, but my experience of the TWSBI Vac which drove me nuts tells me I really want a CAISO

I'm sorry to hear that you have health-related discomfort.

 

If you're shopping for a Kingsize, you may find this information helpful:

 

CAISO Kingsize demonstrator with titanium section and blind cap: ~40g empty

Ebonite Kingsize: ~29g empty

 

*According to my kitchen food scale and corroborated by the Conid website

 

If lower pen weight alleviates discomfort, you may ask Conid if they'll build you an ebonite CAISO. Of course there is a small internal mechanism on the CAISO so that may add a gram or two on the ebonite --but still lighter than the titanium demonstrator.

 

Just food for thought ...and I concur that the CAISO system is pretty nice!
