TSWBI Vac 700 and Vac 20 Ink Bottle February 27, 2013
Reviewer: Webb Stacy from Andover, MA United States  
This is a very interesting pair. If you fill it completely, the Vac 700 holds nearly as much as an eyedropper. But, as the video on this site shows, it's a little risky to do this, because you might make an inky mess if you're not careful. The Vac 20 ink bottle makes it easy and risk-free, though...just screw in the Vac 700, invert,  and pump a couple of times.

The only real problem I've had with the pen is with the shutoff valve. I like the idea of the valve, because I'm tired of getting inky fingers after getting off an airplane. But sometimes I forget to open the valve for extended writing, then it goes dry. The only way I've found to get the ink started again is to invert the pen, pull the plunger part way down, then push it back up. However, this introduces the risk of, uh, making an inky mess!

All in all, though, a wonderful pen and ink bottle at a terrific price.

Don't buy it February 19, 2013
Reviewer: Anonymous Person from ATLANTA, GA United States  
This pen is awful. Skips, irregular ink flow, dry. It seems that this pen company, twsbi, has no quality control.

My First Vac Pen February 13, 2013
Reviewer: Trip from Atlanta, GA United States  
Great pen - was hesitant to order it after reading mixed reviews about the early nibs.  Emailed Goulet and Brian replied back in record time filling me in on the new nibs solving early problems.  Had a little glitch with feed system when I got the pen.  Brian put me in touch with Twsbi who not only want to replace my pen but also asked me to send my 540 in for them to fix the stiff piston.  Talk about incredible and unmatched customer service!  Now if Goulet would start some car dealerships so we could get their level of customer service when dealing with car repairs :)

TWSBI Vac 700 Fountain Pen - Smoke, Medium February 12, 2013
Reviewer: Andrew Currie from Hamilton, Waikato New Zealand  
Excellent product. Very reliable inkflow! It is not wet but each stroke even and consistent. Better than a $800 Pelikan M1000!

Vac-700 January 30, 2013
Reviewer: Michael Fedyniak from Hudson, OH United States  
I  am very pleased with my vac-700,  and it has instantly become  my  every-day  pen. I  find that it's the smoothest writing I have  experienced,  and I  would recommend anyone looking for a  pen  that's a  few steps above  entry- level  give this one a try!
