TWSBI VAC MINI (redesigned)

[FP_Nerd_NJ]

I am selling my TWSBI VAC Mini because no matter how hard I try, I can't get the damned thing to keep writing. I bought one recently, it's one that has the redesign that doesn't have the small O-Ring closing off flow to the nib/feed and even still, it will just completely stop writing. It takes about 5 minutes to get it to write again and that only lasts another few minutes. Unless somebody knows about a permanent fix for this, I'm getting rid of this pen.

How much?

If you just got the pen, why not contact the seller? Or TWSBI. If you’ve been using the pen for a while and this behavior just started, then it’s likely that the feed is clogged, and you’d need to clean it out.

I'd start with a good cleaning. It sounds almost as if there may still be residual mould release somewhere.

Start with Kohi-I-Noor Rapido-eze. Followed up by a good ultrasonic cleaning.
