I bought this inkwell primarily to help filling my brand new Visconti Opera Gold, especially when travelling, where I do not want to bring a fragile and heavy glass ink bottle.
I can recommend this inkwell. It is lightweight, elegant, and very easy to operate, incl. cleaning if you want to change ink color. I have also tried it with some other pens, for example MB146, Pelikan M800 and Lamy 2000 - no problems with either.
Werkt enorm goed, je pen zit echt nooit onder de inkt na het vullen. Veel beter dan met een glazen inktpot reizen. Ik vind 65 euro overigens wel erg duur. Hij vult al mijn pennen perfect, behalve mijn waterman hemisphere. Deze pen heeft zo’n dun handvat, dat het handvat bij het vullen nat wordt. Enige 2 nadelen zijn dus dat het vullen van dunne pennen slecht gaat, en dat het nogal een prijzig product is. Voor de rest echt perfect naar mijn mening.
Tja, wat moet ik hierover zeggen?
Het is al mijn 5e Visconti reisinktpot en een EDC (Every Day Carry) onderdeel met mijn inkt van dat moment.
Handig en verspillingsvrij de vulpen vullen!
Works well and as described. I was having trouble getting more than a few pages out of my new Visconti Homo Sapiens when filling directly out of a bottle. This Inkwell has solved the issue and as a bonus, makes filling the pen cleaner, with less ink getting on the section. The fact that that this inkwell is required for a full fill when other vacuum fillers like the Pilot Custom 823 can do just fine straight from the bottle is another discussion however.
This is a very well designed accessory that has helped me get full ink refills on my Visconti HS. Although it is slightly more to the expensive side, it will prove cheaper in the long run due to my frequent usage of this item.
It is easy and even fun to use. I liked it so much, I actually purchased 2 from Appelboom!
A very cleverly designed, functional and geometrically well-sized accessory that eliminates the need to carry original ink bottles or Nalgene bottles when travelling, both near and far. In a pen case, it replaces 1 fountain pen, with room to spare, in height and thereby volume. Youtube reviews on this Visconti travel ink pot will convert hesitant fountain pen users who use power vac system-based pens. Hopefully, a future iteration will accommodate 2 inks.
Pricy but it's the only travelling inkwell that fits my Homo Sapiens pens and it looks great!. Holds 5.5 ml of ink as it's about the size of a pen (I wish 10ml like my Pineiders). I now have two. Always fill my HS pens with it (i.e. even at home) because it allows for a 100% fill in one shot!I like them very much!. BUT I had a problem with one of them (bought from another store). It broke in two pieces after a month and it hadn't even been dropped! It was a pretty clean break at the top of the transparent portion that slides inside the top metal portion. Of course the other store are replacing the unit, but it makes me a little nervous about travelling with them.... Anyone else has heard or had this issue too. I'd like to hear from you?
If you have a Homo Sapiens Power Filler/Maxi size pen, this tool is essentially a must. It makes filling a breeze and portable. It also makes filling the pen incredibly clean. A must get.
