TWSBI Vac 700 with 1.1mm Stub Italic April 3, 2013
Reviewer: Mark Cohen from Basking Ridge, NJ United States  
Excellent flow and very smooth and very responsive. This is the first italic nib I've used that gives me the results I'm looking for. (With other pens, I thought it was me - well, I suppose it was.) I am very happy with this pen, and with the ability now to produce script that looks like it required a fountain pen.

Why did I wait so long to buy this pen? February 26, 2013
Reviewer: K. Barcham from Wellington, New Zealand  
I love this pen. Great weight and substantial body for holding when writing for a long period.  Once I got used to the vacum filling, and after I changed the nib to the replacement that came with it, I take this pen with me always and everywhere.  Love it, love it, love it.

TWSBI VAC 700 - It is a little different February 13, 2013
Reviewer: GDW from California  
I admit I was confused by some of the graphic instructions in the pamphlet for my VAC 700.  The pen wrote well initially but would dry out and refuse to work after several pages or a day or two of intermittent use.  Multiple cleanings, a new nib, and changing inks all gave the same result.  But now I understand.  You must periodically unscrew the end of the barrel just like you were going to fill the pen in order to allow the ink to reach the nib.  If you don't do this you essentially have a dip pen and when the ink in the nib is gone you are done.  If you plan to write several pages you unscrew the end of the barrel just like it says in the instructions and it will flow and write all day.  Why screwing down the barrel end results in the piston obstructing the feed so the nib dries out is a mystery to me.  When it works the VAC 700 writes well.  But it is a little different.

TWSBI Vac 700 February 9, 2013
Reviewer: Gayla Escue from O'Fallon, IL United States  
It is a fascinating fountain pen. I appreciate Brian's videos and critiques of pens & how they operate. Rachel & their staff are prompt in the order responses, very polite & professional. If I find that their prices are comparable to other prices of the same item I like to purchase from them because of what they do & I like to support another pen nerd! (Smile)

Love it! January 12, 2013
Reviewer: Rebecca Hall from Port Angeles, WA United States  
Beautiful pen, works great. Nice smooth nib, especially for a fine. I love seeing the true color of the ink, and such a lovely, well made and finished pen with a vac filling system at this price is a DEAL! Plus Goulet Pens always delivers outstanding service, packing, lightning fast shipping--truly fabulous.
