Terrific review and great photos. Thank you.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Thanks for a great review! It made me consider the Vac700, and I am particularly glad to see your glowing assessment of writing performance. It seems like a fantastic pen.

Update: One week later, the replacement mechanism arrived, and there is no leakage of ink from the opening of the filler collar now. Awesome customer service, TWSBI team! The VAC gets the new mechanism. (The defective one beside the pen)

For another example of excellent TWSBI service, see my recent post on a problem I was having with the vacuum seal of my Vac700.

(Spoiler: TWSBI responded in near-real-time to my e-mailed query, and the problem was easily-solved - I was used to standard piston pens, so had used much less lubricant than needed.)

 

Great review, BTW.

Incredible review. Thank you. I have had good success filling my Vac 700 with a Visconti Traveling Inkpot which you could use with the Pilot 823.

Is it significantly springier than the nib on the 580?

Not significantly, my guess is that, it's springier because of the bigger nib size narrow shape.

However a Titanium #6 nib is way more springier :D, if that's what you are looking for.

 

Best

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
