Name: Gravitas - Vac 2.0 Grade 5 Titanium | Stone Washed
Rating: 4.80 (5 reviews)

Gravitas introduces the Vac 2.0 Grade 5 Titanium following the initial Vac 2.0 Aluminium Black, a refined evolution based on the UltemateVac platform, engineered for writers who demand precision, capacity and full serviceability in a modern robust fountain pen.

The Vac 2.0 retains the core proportions of its predecessor while introducing subtle refinements in weight, balance(section made of Stainless Steel 304 for optimal weight distribution) and material execution. Its body is constructed from a combination of Ultem and Grade 5 Titanium, pairing the lightweight transparency of Ultem with the exceptional strength, corrosion resistance and tactile character of grade 5 titanium in two finishes: Machine and Stonewashed. A double reservoir ink window provides clear visibility of ink levels, while the cap features an inner Delrin sleeve with ACME threads, improving sealing performance and posting stability for a more secure writing experience.

At the heart of the system is Gravitas downsized Kraken filling mechanism, also found in the Gravitas Monster, delivering an exceptional ink capacity of 4.5ml+ (one plunge = approximately 3ml of ink, while a double plunge allows up to 4.5ml maximum capacity). This high-volume reservoir is designed for extended writing sessions with minimal interruption, making it ideal for both professional and creative use.

The fountain pen features Gravitas newly developed proprietary #6 steel nib, available in EF, F, M and B widths. Designed without a traditional breather hole and incorporating a longer slit geometry, it delivers a uniquely balanced writing experience with more softness and spring than a conventional steel nib. While not intended as a flex nib, it offers enhanced responsiveness and comfort during normal writing without requiring additional pressure. The proprietary steel nib uses a custom ABS housing and feeder while remaining compatible with standard* JoWo #6 formats.

One of the defining innovations of the Vac 2.0 is its fully serviceable construction. The section can be unscrewed and the filling mechanism can be removed using the dedicated maintenance spanner tool marked "Vac", allowing users to easily clean, lubricate and maintain the system. This ensures long-term reliability and effortless upkeep, an essential feature for a high-performance writing instrument.

Combining the engineering-grade transparency of Ultem with the strength and precision of Grade 5 titanium, the Vac 2.0 Titanium Black delivers a unique balance of durability, capacity and mechanical sophistication. Designed to be used, maintained and enjoyed for decades, it represents Gravitas' commitment to functional engineering without compromise.

incredible pen

Able to fit my custom jowo #6 nib as well

Smooth Writer, Great Hand Feel

Pen feels excellent in the hand, nicely balanced and quality feel. Metal grip has a slight texture to it that helps with grip, and a comfortable shape.

Nib is incredibly smooth even at an EF, with a slight softness to it that makes the writing experience really smooth and consistent.

Only issue I found was with cap threads requiring a specific angle to thread on. If the cap is not dead center, the cap threads and barrel threads catch. Makes me worry that a one time mistake could damage the plastic cap threads permanently

Simply fantastic!

Feels great, writes well! I love the Ultem and titanium!

Another magnificent Gravitas Pen

I love this pen! It writes great, looks great and feels great! Much more convenient for my small hands than the Monster. A terrific buy!
