To be fair, it does do its job and makes filling a decent amount of pens a cleaner task with generally less hassle.... However for ~$115 USD all you get is a piece of plastic tubing that feels likely to break and that can't be disassembled for cleaning ... I think originally these were in the $50 range, and even that is pushing it... Way too expensive for an item they haven't bothered to iterate on for years... Goulet is great, this item is a let down all things considered (seriously, after all this time they couldn't have found a way to allow you to take the thing apart for a proper clean and dry??)... Challenging to see in the picture but good luck getting the ink residue out from there

Got a full fill on my Visconti HS Bronze Age. Works like it should and no leaking. The only negative was that the dropper came shattered in the box.

I use a Sheaffer Nostalgia for work and travel a fair bit. Brian went above and beyond to measure the interior diameter of the Visconti travelling inkwell and confirmed that in all probability it would work with my Sheaffer - which it does! I am delighted.

Exactly what I needed. Packaged beautifully and arrived earlier than expected. Thank you

Arrived quickly. Packaged very well. Items were exactly what I needed, which I attribute in part to the informative videos they make discussing their products. I will certainly shop here again!

Excellent for inking my Visconti, just be careful of the pressure. Cheers.

No more wasting some of the sample.

Makes it even easier to fill my Homo Sapiens, and easy to take refill ink when I can't take a whole bottle.

Thank you, the unk well is working very well and high quality build.

Well made. Easy to use. Very convenient.

It was 60 bucks but 100-% worth the cost. I use it with my Visconiti and other pens.

I received a Galen leather pen and journal holder as a gift, and this traveling inkwell fits in a pen holder. Absolutely beautiful and efficient.

The product is a must with Visconti Homo Sapiens. If using the inkwell you get full fill on this pens. Recommended for any pen that fits this inkwell.

Totally awesome purchase and makes filling the Homo Sapien pen so much easier! holds a good amount of ink as well…I may order another! :-)

My favorite pens are a Pelican 600 and a Visconti Homo Sapiens, and this little inkwell makes them fill completely and with no real mess. Very pleased with this purchase.

Very useful when I'm traveling. Copes with wider pens like my Visconti Homo Sapiens, slightly narrower ones like the LAMY 2000 and slim ones like Pilot Grances (don't see them here) with no problems at all. 5.5ml is way more ink that you're likely to need on a business trip and it's packaged and presented in a very professional way. This is a useful tool and highly recommended.

I was so happy to find this traveler that I could fill my Lamy CP1 with! Plus, it is aesthetically beautiful, being made of glass instead of plastic. I love it.

Traveling inkwell reflects the quality one assumes a Visconti item will have. The inkwell is no exception.

I bought this inkwell to ensure a full fill on my Visconti Homo Sapiens fountain pens and could not be happier. I'm getting a full 1.6ml fill in each pen which provides for a long writing experience. I highly recommend this for its quality and how perfectly it works for these pens!

I bought this to get maximum fills in a Homo Sapiens Bronze Age pen without getting ink all over the grip section. Success on both counts. The pen fits perfectly, and a few pumps of the power filler with the inkwell inverted gets all the air out of the reservoir for a full fill. I would recommend filling the inkwell with a plastic pipet, which has a longer reach than the supplied glass dropper. It's important to deposit ink in the bottom of the inkwell, and not contaminate the silicone seal at the top of the vial. This is easy to do with a plastic pipet. I tested with water first, and then went ahead and filled my pen with ink. It's a little unnerving at first, but, alas, there was no leakage even while operating the vacuum filler system. Nice. This device will get a lot of use. I'm not as sure about travel, as the cap is a friction fit and not a **** cap. I don't know how much jostling or pressure changes it will tolerate during air travel. I suspect air travel might cause the top to pop right off at altitude, when the air pressure inside the vial will exceed the atmospheric pressure. a **** cap would be more secure. But I'm just using it for routine fills.

Easy to transport and use.So good I think I will order another one so I can have a several colors on hand.

Well designed, but very poorly built. The metal sleeve fell off on day 1, exposing the platic which ended up cracking. Got about 4 months of use. It was great while it lasted, but for that's a significant price to pay for such a short lifespan.

Works well for all but my skinniest pens. No mess.

I think this inkwell is a good buy if you have a vacuum-filling pen. This makes it very easy to get a full fill on one of those. Plus, the slim size means that you can fit this into a lot of pen rolls and other storage methods. The design is attractive. Mine, however, had the silver ring on the stopper cap come off about a day after I first received it. I had to reattach that with adhesive. Then the entire satin metal portion came off a few days later, and I am currently trying to adhere that piece back on as well. I would consider my particular example of this inkwell to be defective due to this. I would return it but to be completely honest I don't feel like having to go through the return process, given that it seems to take multiple weeks. It's disappointing to find out that Visconti's quality issues don't stop at just their pens; it affects their inkwells too.

It was amazing

I just started to use this device and to use it I require a deep sink, a dark bip, a tolerant domestic partner and good humor. Yes, I was finally able to completely fill my Homo Sapiens Crystal Dream (2nd attempt) and created again a huge mess in the kitchen. This thing needs serious training, patience and attention to detail. I'm getting there. Read the instructions carefully and watch every You Tube video about it you can find. All warnings are true and I love this hobby!

There is a bit of a learning curve... I recommend not filling it to the max fill line in case you have a bit of ink still in your pen. That resulted in over-pressurizing the inkwell and a mess. Once I learned that lesson it worked like a charm. This was a great way to ensure I had all the ink I needed while away on vacation. I keep it in my pochade box in case I run out while out doing a bit of plein air painting/sketching.

This is another great product from Visconti. Works great with all types of pen bodies, not just Visconti. Easy to clean and great for filling pens from small mouth sample bottles. Love it!

I've traveled extensively for a couple of years with two of these inkwells. There have been no problems with them. I've been very pleased with these. They also serve well for every day ink wells for piston filler and vacuum filler pens. You can get a very full fill when using these ink wells.

As above.......
