Twsbi Announces A Vac Mini Is In The Works

[ladycaruso]

This is extremely unfair. I JUST completed my fountain pen life-time wishlist, and now I have to re-do the whole darn thing to add this future pen. WHY must companies torture me this way???

[tjt7a]

Uh. Is this ever going to happen? I really like the pen, but its not looking like it's coming out anytime soon is it?

TWSBI has a history with delaying announced products, or - to but it more correctly: a long waiting time between the announcement and the actual release date. The good thing is you know that such a pen does come, the downside is you loose interest with time.

It has only been told that such a pen will come, but not when.

[esqx]

I want several.

Here is an update that Goulet's just posted

So much for my self-imposed moratorium on purchasing new pens. There's 3 there that I'll have to get.

Red rubber rings FTW!

[Harlequin]

On their facebook page, TWSBI mentioned that due to possible problems with rotring, there probably wouldn't be a red rings version, most likely.

I just ordered a Vac 700. But I am really very interested in the new models... Although I would like to see something that is not the "typical" demonstrator.

 

We can have funny colors, or more classic for business. I love my Twsbi pens but I want something different!

The Classic will be opaque. It seems quite a few people wanted the same thing- a non demonstrator version of the 580 (essentially). So iirc, it should be ready in time for the holidays, if TWSBI meets their own timetable predictions, lol.

So, where are these things?! I would buy one in a second.

Me too! I didn't buy a TWSBI Mini so I could wait for this pen

haha same here. I can't seem to find any info about these anywhere. Hopefully they haven't nixed the plans. Anybody??

[Bemo]

I emailed Mr. Wang about this a few days ago. His reply was that there is no exact date for release of the mini vac but that he's shooting for the middle of the year.

[ALPrasetio]

Well, I just received the Goulet newsletter and it looks like they're definitely stocking up on them whenever it arrives this year. So at least I know where to look once this is released! Should be quite a nifty pen.

[inotrym]

Will the mini vac come with red o-rings eventually?

 

Oh, and is the regular mini going to be released in other colors too?

White color seems to suit the pen design.

I asked a question about the status of the minivac on Facebook yesterday. This was the reply that was posted: "almost ready....gone quiet so we can concentrate on finishing it. Testing many different kinds of materials to make it. Will finalize and produce soon."

[inotrym]

Oh that's nice. Thanks.

 

To be honest, I don't really care for the filling mechanism. It's the color combo that I find interesting.
