Vac 700R Came Today!

[Driften]

 

did your pen come with a gold fine nib?

 

 

No, I had a #6 14k Boch gold nib laying around and it worked perfectly with the 700r's feed. I did change it back to the 1.1 stub for my wife to use.

sorry for the typo - actually the pen cost me \ $65.00!!!!

thanks for the updated information. My first thought after reading the $20.00 was I need at least two of those. LOL

I've been writing with this pen for a few months and like most things about it. One thing I don't like is that mine burps badly. It does so when about 3/4 of the ink reservoir has been depleted. I've had burpers before, but not one that burps with so much ink remaining.

 

Have others experienced this?

I have not see the issue with my 700R or my two eye dropper filled pens so I might be a good person to know.

A beautiful and dependable pen I must say, you will enjoy it. I have had two of these babies in my collection since 2014, and they still work flawlessly -(may I add that one has been inked consistently for three years with my own mix of Bordeaux red iron gall ink?) Perhaps one of the most reliable pens in it's price category and arguably well above it.

Contact twisbi customer service, or pull the nib and feed out and check that it has been aligned properly. That is most likely the issue at play here. In my experience I have used these pens for three years with iron gall red inks without issue. As reliable as the Visconti 'power filler' mechanisms. Both are very similar.

Are there any coloured versions of the 700R yet? Plain demonstrators don't really do it for me....

[frogbaby]

its a great pen for the money

 

but that textured clip is the weirdest possible design choice and i swear one day i will have it taken off and replated !@#
