Gravitas - Vac 2.0 Grade 5 Titanium | Machine Finish – Pen Venture

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.

Gravitas Vac 2

The construction of the Vac 2 is flawless. The textures of the materials and it's simple lines display an elegant beauty. The large steel nib delivers a pleasant writing experience and also provides a bit of flex.

Amazing Pen! Gravitas makes one of the best piston fillers out there. I dont keep the nib and normally use the pen for coustom flex nibs with Jowo #6 compatible nib units. So, i really cant speak on the nib. However, this pen is just built with high quality components. The weight, feel, and overall aesthetics are unmatched. You wont find better at this price point.

Platinum Sansui - Smooth Operator

I recently acquired the Platinum Maki-e Sansui pen in a Medium nib. The Pen Venture team was kind enough to carefully inspect and tune this pen before sending it on to me. Many thanks for that. It writes very smoothly and with a steady flow of ink. The Medium nib is my favorite nib configuration from the Platinum brand. The line width is nice and thin and always writes consistently right of the box. This lovely Maki-e pen was no different. I highly recommend it.

Gravitas #6 extra fine nib

The extra fine nib came tuned to perfection—a joy to write with. Thank you Emy!

FANTASTIC!

The VAC 2.0 is a great improvement to an already great pen (the original VAC Ultem). The weight and balance are spot on. The cap and the new threads engage without hesitation. No missed closures and the cap has a nice stop when threading back on. It posts securely without issue. Filling with the Kraken system is easy. I got a medium nib and it is smoooooooth. Mine is on par with my 823 medium nib The smoothness, wetness and bounce would make you think it's a gold nib. Line width is slightly narrower than the 823 medium. The pen feels solid and well built. I'm not worried about this one getting knocked around. Overall a great pen. Shipping from Pen-Venture to Colorado was five days! Great pen and service all around!
