Description (from the Gravitas website):
“Vac 2.0 - Aluminium Black, a thoughtfully refined successor to the celebrated UltemateVac platform, crafted for writers who value precision engineering and high ink capacity.
Staying true to the original design language, the Vac 2.0 preserves its familiar proportions while introducing carefully tuned adjustments to weight distribution and overall balance. The barrel is made from Ultem and anodised Aluminium, complemented by a stainless steel section finished in black PVD coating enhanced by micro-machined grooves that provides a secure and comfortable hold during writing. This combination creates a subtle front-loaded feel, enhancing writing stability and control. A ink window offers clear monitoring of ink levels, while the cap internal Delrin sleeve with ACME threading ensures improved sealing and a more secure posting experience.
Powering the Vac 2.0 is our compact Kraken filling mechanism, derived from the larger Monster platform, delivering an impressive ink capacity of 4.5 ml+. Sporting a downsized quad-ring, the filing system is efficient in generating suction and bringing ink in the inner chamber and the two contact points allows a lubricant film to lubricate the system with each use. Designed for extended writing sessions, this high-volume reservoir reduces the need for frequent refills and supports uninterrupted creative or professional work.
The fountain pen is equipped with our newly engineered proprietary #6 steel nib. It features a breather-hole-free design and an extended slit geometry to offer a balance softness and spring back feel in use. While built around a custom housing and feed system, it remains compatible with standard* Jowo #6 nib formats, ensuring versatility alongside its upgraded performance characteristics."
