I've noticed that both of my TWSBI Vac700Rs have developed cracks in their caps. The cracks are towards the top so they aren't interfering with the cap seal or threads, but I know the cracks will spread. Guess I should reach out to TWSBI to get new caps at some point. :/
I've been thinking about getting a Pilot C823 (not sure If i'd want the amber or clear version), but idk. The TWSBIs write so well and work so well with the Vac20 ink well to very easily get a full fill.
