It’d been a minute since I bought a new pen, and I’ve always wanted to try a vacuum fill pen so I finally pulled the trigger. The pen writes so well straight out of the box but that’s always been my experience with TWSBI pens. The kon-peki ink is a nice beautiful blue that also seems to dry fairly quickly which is nice because I’m a lefty and it’s impossible for me to write without making a mess lol.

    Congrats! I’ve just finished journal writing with my 700VAC R and Iroshizuki ink! It’s my favorite travel pen, both because of the large ink capacity and significantly decreased chance of leakage during flights.

      good to know, I’ve brought my TWSBI Eco with me on flights before and def forgot that the ink gets blasted into the cap.

        During my last flight, I didn’t even keep the nib upright, and still didn’t have problems. I had multiple vacuum fill pens with me, including the VAC Mini and Pilot Custom 823, and none of them leaked.
