Picked up a 12v "modellers" vac pump, connected to demijohn with a hose and bung, left the pump running for about 10 minutes...it was like cracking the top on a bottle of lemonade..the gas was fizzing out, really pleased with the results from a £10 pump off ebay.
Also applied vac to a fermenting bin, although the sides started to implode due to the vac inside, it still created enough vac to induce more CO2 to bubble off...very impressed. The wine (pinot grigio kit) then settled and cleared exceptionally quickly :)
 
I use a food saver with the accessory tube and a carboy cap. It works great.
