Ok, those do sound like worthwhile advantages. I will scan the forum for homemade fillers to use as an example.
I do have a vacuum pump, one I got from Harbour Freight, but I really dislike it. It seems to exude a smelly superfine mist of oil into the air. Not enough to coat anything, but enough to turn your stomach with the odor. I throw a paper towel over the air outlet to filter it, but I find it really disagreeable to use it in the house.
Are there any better type of vacuum pumps? By better, I mean that pull enough vacuum for bottle filling and degassing, but which don't emit the oil vapor and stench?
