Hello pandeyji

I own a Twsbi Vac 700. I bought it a month ago from a website www.purepens.co.uk

but you can find it very easily on Ebay India too. I bought this pen for Rs 10, 000 (It was a package).

Vac 700 have one of the largest ink capacities available in the market. Performance wise it performs

pretty good but the main feature of the pen is the vacuum ink filling mechanism.

 

Hoping that the above information have cleared some of your doubts.

 

Bye

I've ordered mine off the Goulets and from thewritingdesk.co.uk.

 

Ink capacity is fantastic. But while my Micarta and 540 ROC write really well (the ROC is inked up right now, actually), the 700 was a complete POS - very dry, skipping a lot. The 540 wrote well the first time around, albeit just a little drier than ideal... and the next time I inked it, it was also a very dry writer with hardly any ink coming into the feed.

 

Both were sent back to TWSBI for repairs.

Hi akz_001,

 

Does the pen ship easily from UK stores to India? Did you have to pay customs and if yes, was it hassle free?

 

I am planning to order a TWSBI Diamond 580 from cultpens

It is easy to get from the UK - < Rs 10k, usually there is no customs.

I have used TWSBI 540 and VAC both. TWSBI 540 has some serious quality issue like intermittent cracking of section etc. It is costly in India; Pensavenue.com are the authorized retailer of TWSBI in India. In my personal opinion, if you are planning to spend anything between INR 7000 to 8000 I guess you can consider Pilot Custom Heritage 92 instead. You can contact Raul of wancher pens who are the counter part of Engeika in India for this.

I got a TWSBI mini from Goulet pens. Shipping via ordinary post to Mumbai took 8 weeks and a customs duty was charged, which was unusual in my opinion.

[quikwin]

I have recently ordered TWSBI from Goulet Pens, like to know how much custom duty you have paid ?

[maverink]

+1 pilot custom 92 with 14K gold nib @Rs7500 better than vac 700 with steel nib at 10000/-

[sannidh]

+1 pilot custom 92 with 14K gold nib @Rs7500 better than vac 700 with steel nib at 10000/-

 

Completely agree with @maverink.

But if you are located in Mumbai you can get a 580 Diamond from Shukla Pen Mart (fort) at INR 4500 (~ USD 75)

I got a TWSBI Eco from Shukla Pen Mart in the Fort area in Mumbai. It cost me Rs.3900.
