What is the best way to clean out a Vac prior to changing ink color?
Is it just a lot of thumb work or are there some tips?

Filling is easier than emptying. A few fills with cool water (partial fill), shake a bit even with pen point up to get the water around the recesses of the sac. then empty including a bit of the "thermometer maneuver" but avoiding the "dart maneuver".
A salad spinner modified to hold the pen has worked for some restorers, aping the Parker Whirlclean from the 1950s.
