The fountain pen Twsbi Vac Mini was born at the beginning of 2016 by the now renowned Twsbi who presented his model with the inverted syringe loading system (in English Vacuum Filler) in the "Mini" version, of compact size. The length of the new Vac Mini is in fact 12.5 cm closed and corresponds to a slightly larger size than the mini model of the Diamond 580. The result is a pen with an optimal size for both transport and practical use. The "Smoke" version takes exactly the same color as the Vac 700 going to match the completely transparent color of the body with the smoke black finish of the case back and the handle. We move on to the loading system: the Vacuum Filler (or inverted syringe) works by unscrewing the back of the pen, pull the piston out and then immerse the nib of the fountain pen in the ink. At this point by pushing the piston towards the tip of the fountain pen, the ink enters the barrel of the pen and is ready to write. It is much loved by travelers because this system avoids ink leakage on the plane thanks to a valve that opens and closes the writing group. An interesting feature is the ability to screw the cap on the back of the fountain pen. Like all Twsbi pens, the Vac Mini is completely removable and in the package we find a key that allows you to disassemble the piston and all the various parts of the pen with a vial of silicone grease for maintenance. The nib is in steel and is available in writing gradations: EF (ExtraFine) F (Fine) M (Medium) B (Broad) Italic 1-1 Technical sheet Material: Polycarbonate Nib: Steel Loading system: Inverted syringe (vacuum filler) Packaging: Box Measures: Closed 125 mm; With cap fitted 151.7 mm Diameter: 10 mm Weight: 0.85 oz
