Anyone used this product? I was thinking of giving it a try. What are your experiences?

Ink Miser Intra-bottle Inkwell

I've not tried it (one of my thoughtful and generous pen pals set me up with an empty Akkerman bottle ), but it is a genius idea! I'm thinking about getting one just because it's so cool.

Nice - and not a bad price for what it does. I think the TWSBI bottles have a little one like this for their bottles too.

Aesthetically, I dislike supporting the production of limited use plastic widgets. Especially, when there are other options available.

Engineering-wise, the fill slit should really be closer to the rim in order to maximize utilization of the last couple mLs of ink.

[Armstrong]

I agree the fill slot should be nearer the rim. I was thinking of drilling some holes just below the rim for that reason. I suspect that slot probably has more to do with not slopping the ink or running over when you insert the pen.

I quite like the R&K era rapid ink tanks that come in a set of 3 from Seitz-Kreuznach, but I haven't bought them yet.

Goulet's Pens do something similar too as far as I can remember, unless it's exactly the same product from Ink Miser.

I believe the erka rapid is a superior product compared to the ink miser. The color allows to know how many ink is left. They are also cheaper at around 2€ each.

The difference probably isn't worth the overseas shipping for me though. They do look like they have a pocket right in the area of the feed hole that could be useful.

Exactly. I could say the same thing. Located in Europe the Ink Miser is out of reach.

Makes sense.
