I had met a woman working at my local mall's antique store. When I asked about fountain pens she said that while there weren't any in the store at the moment she had one gathering dust in her cabinet drawer and that she would bring it the next day. I had thought she was bring it to sell to me but she just gave it to me for free. It was a very pleasant surprise and the pen wound up being a TWSBI Vac700! There was also a store closing sale going on elsewhere and I have quite a few Christmas/Birthday presents. Today was a very lucky day.

I just ordered one of those! Haven't got it yet, but I love vac fills and TWSBIs. How do you like it?

I haven't inked it up yet, though I experimented with the vacuum piston while cleaning it with water, it is facinating and very sadisfying. It is also way beefier than I expected.
