Have been following the Ink Miser Inkwell thread. Got one from Goulet Pens and tried it out. Also tried out the Erka Inkwell insert for comparison. Set Up: Had around four ounces of Noodler's Walnut in a large, 4.5 oz bottle that I divided into two 3 oz Noodler's bottles that I had laying around. Put the Ink Miser into one bottle and an Erka Inkwell insert into the second bottle. Using two Konrad pens, both with Goulet 1.1 mm nibs, filled with Walnut ink. Results with Ink Miser Inkwell: Good points: * Fits Noodler bottles well, as well as many other ink bottles commonly sold. * Works pretty much as advertised. * Cost is around $5.00 each. Bad points: * Black plastic means it is difficult to see the ink level in the well, white would work out better. Results with Erka Ink Miser Inkwell: Good points: * Exactly fits R & K ink bottles, very stable with no unexpected splash due to loose fit and coming out of bottle unexpectedly. * White plastic, easy to see ink levels Bad points: * Loose in a larger, think Noodler's, bottle with a wider mouth. So unexpected lifting and splashes may occur. * Cost is ~ $15.00 for three inserts. Need at least three R & K bottles to make full use of inkwells. Conclusions: The inserts make economical use of 3-oz bottles, enabling fills do a much lower level of ink than before. Both inserts allow good filling of a Konrad with a large, No. 6 nib. This is a task that can be tricky at times. The Ink Miser has a higher volume than the Ink Miser, making larger pens easier to fill. The Erka works better with smaller bottles, such as the R & K bottles. Both are useful additions to the fountain pen user's equipment list.
