    Default TWISBI VAC Mini

    It's on the front page! I am all over that one when it comes out. I had mentioned it a few times and I think others did too. I am glad that TWSBI decided to go with it.

    My TWSBI collection is ever growing! I'm adding this one to my wishlist alongside the PP081 Slim, Eco, and the 850 IROC which will be released in the near future.

    A stylish fountain pen would go well with my vac 700.

    I like how they made the blind cap shape more in balance with the cap...I always found the mini to be a bit off in that respect.

    This is definitely on my list. I never met a Twsbi I didn't like.

    The white is quite nice. I had just been chatting with a pen friend a week or so ago that if TWSBI were to come out with a mini-Vac, I'd get one. I didn't think TWSBI would go off and make one.

    Toolings are the frames and brackets the raw parts are placed in for the shaping and cutting by CNC machines.

    I think their stuff is injection molded, if that matters.

    If it's injection molded, then it would be the molds. Seems like it shouldn't take that long if they have finalized a design. They may produce several prototypes before they go to full production.
