The bottle is too full right now to review this item, but I believe it will work. It will live in the bottle when it get pretty low. With the bottle capped, it is inverted and then turned right-side up. The inkwell will be filled with a deep pocket to submerge your pen point for filling. I have an old Skrip ink bottle with a built-in inkwell. Great way to get the most from the bottle.

works well

This appears to be a very useful product.
As I wrote before, however, this is a gift for my son in Alaska, and he won't open it until his birthday on May 8.

Cool idea and works great. Definitely saves the messed I normally make. 😂

Works line a charm

I love these little inkwell inserts. They help me get the ink that otherwise would be too far down for the access hole in my nib to reach. But I do have a suggestion: Include a small note reminding people NOT to insert it until the level of the ink is lower. The ink will spill if you try to insert it too early.

Haven't used it yet.

This inkwell works perfectly for fill my pen from a bottle where the ink level is low. I have had good success using it.

This is a massively useful accessory, right up there with a towel. I bought this along with a number 5 italic nib. I put the nib in my Monteverde Monza--the one that came with 3 nib/section/converter units. After the nib replacement I filled the pen using the inkwell. This solves the can't get the pen deep enough problem simply and inexpensively. I like stuff that works. Note, flow, water resistance, shading, and dry time seem to be mandatory components of the review. In this case they don't apply.

To be truthful I haven't used it yet. BUT, design and ease of use is obvious. I would strongly recommend this to any fountain pen user. And it's reasonably priced. Order one. You will love it.

As convenient and mess free as it gets. One of those things that you don't notice when it's doing its job, and so tend to undervalue�until is isn't there and you have ink on the kitchen table.

Thick pens, little bottles.... you need one of these to get the most from your ink.

First of all I love these things, I have one in all my open Noodler's bottles. However, in a few of the bottles like 54th Mass. & Empire Red (especially Empire Red), I've had the ink miser stick to the *LID* of the bottle and if you're not paying close attention the miser will dump all its ink onto the surface beneath it (happen to me twice so far). This is pretty dangerous given just how permanent some of Nathan's inks are.. Just a word of caution, great and very useful otherwise.

It seems to work well for wide opening ink bottles, but doesn't even come close to fitting into most inks that I have. Maybe I missed where that was said on the website, but had I known that, I wouldn't have purchased this item. Works great on the ol dusty bottle of Quink, but other than that, can't recommend.

This in-bottle inkwell works great, just as described. I makes filling your pen near the end of the bottle easy. It gets those last few drams of ink. When installed, the bottle seals well. Makes using the end of the bottle easy. I have also purchased an external inkwell for capturing the last of my iroshizuku, diamine and visconti inks. I can't imagine why anyone would have problems with leakage from Noodler's bottles with the miser installed.

This item is good at one thing: working with a 3oz Noodler's ink bottle. The dimensions don't really work with any other inks (at least not the ones that I own). That being said, it works as advertised for that purpose. Once you have filled your pen, it can also be tricky to return the leftover ink to the bottle (if you don't plan on leaving it in place).

I am very pleased with the Ink Miser. Its shape does precisely what it is intended to do, which is to use all the ink in the bottle. I would like to suggest an option for using this product that I have found to be more effective than turning the ink bottle on its side to fill the Ink Miser. When turning the bottle on its side, in effect, ink flows into the cap, and when the bottle is returned to the upright position, the ink in the cap flows into the Ink Miser. However, this supplies only an ink-bottle-capful of ink to the Ink Miser. Repeating this procedure several times with the intent of filling the Ink Miser more fully can result in at least some of the ink already in the Miser pouring back into the bottle, as it pours out from the slots in the side. I have been able to fill the Ink Miser more fully by keeping the bottle upright and (with the lid sealed tightly and effectively, of course) shaking it vertically with a sharp, upward motion, once or twice. In any case, I like this product and am very pleased with the purchase.

Am very impressed with my new ink miser intra-bottle inkwell, keeps my pen so much cleaner since the nib doesn't hit the bottom of the bottle. Using black ink can be tricky when you peer into that dark bottle & guess where you should be. So pleased with such a simple but effective device. My miser too is wonderful, I feel confident I won't be tipping over a vessel to ink up. Sturdy little unit. Someone put clever thought into these products. Best investment in a long time. Thank you Ink Miser & of course GouletPens for your ever swift & fabulous packaging & delivery.

I bought the (intra bottle) Ink Miser and tried it out in my plastic bottle of Noodler's Black Eel. It created a mess! No matter how hard I tried (and I mean I REALLY spent some time on this) the circular flange at the top of the ink miser was too thick to allow the cover too be screwed down all the way and any tipping of the bottle created ink leaking all over the place. So I thought maybe there's some defect in the plastic bottle I have. So I patiently waited for my next (glass) bottle of Noodler's ink, and sure enough, the SAME thing occurred again. I wrote Goulet about it and they told me that they can't find anything wrong with their ink miser. Maybe mine is defective, but I don't think so. And no, I am not cross-threading it.

Bought this to make using bottled ink easier especially as it gets low. Nothing fancy about it but it does help make life easier and that is why I purchased it.

Whether you fill from the nib, cartridge, or syringe the Ink Miser keeps you from dipping to deep into the bottle, therefore making cleanup easier.

It's a great product. The Goulet Pen Company is an excellent resource. They are careful, considerate, and professional.

This is a nifty little device that provides a simple solution for filling pens when the ink gets too low to reach conveniently. Does what it says. After seeing how it works, I also ordered an Ink Miser - Ink Shot for use with my glass dip pen.

Fits perfectly and lets you fill your pen easily and without mess.

Works really well with Noodler's Ink bottles. Did not work on Pelican 62.5ml, Organics Studio (if you have any left); Waterman's 50 ml, Scribal Work Shop 60ml or 30ml bottles or any bottle that the lip of the Miser doesn't fit inside the neck of the bottle, or large cap bottles. Can be messy to retrieve from any bottle. Cleans off easily, if you can get it to a faucet without dripping ink on the floor. You won't be able to keep your hands free from ink stains. The good news is that it really does work well getting the dregs out of Noodler's Ink bottles.

I've been using the TWSBI Diamond 50 bottles with similar inserts in them and they are great. This one fits the Noodler's bottles quite well. Unlike the TWSBI bottles, the lip on this device sits on top of the glass rim of the bottle, so when the cap is screwed back on, it seats against the lip of the Miser. I'm not sure how well this will seal the bottle. If I was traveling and taking my bottles, I would remove this and rinse it off before trusting it to make a good seal. Well made. Most of my inks are Noodler's. Not sure whether I'll keep this in one bottle or move it around. I find it easier to fill from this Miser than from a bottle, even if the bottle is not low. Your pen does not go as far into the bottle and your fingers or the pen grip are not as likely to touch the lip of the bottle. Well made, good quality. I'm glad to see this available.

works as advertised. no mess and reduces the spillage possibilities and wasting ink.

I love this Intra-Bottle Inkwell. It fits in quite a wide array of products such as all Noodler's Ink bottles, Monteverde ink bottles, Stipula bottles and many others. The Intra-Bottle Inkwell works extremely well, pulling into itself a minimum of 4 ml just from one inversion and righting the bottle. As evidenced in the pictures I've included you can see that it's capable of getting this much capacity even with bottles with very low amounts of ink in them. (And all for the price of $5.00.) wholeheartedly recommend this product.

I just tried out my Ink Miser in a Noodler's Ink bootle and it works great!

I had some 3 oz bottles of Noodler's ink that were so low I could not fill a pen without getting my fingers on the lip of the bottle. This solved the problem. Ingenious!
