A question about visconti new plastic bottle's volume


Tavnaria

Recommended Posts

I just got a Visconti blue bottle as a gift, and after some googling I'm very confused because different sites have different volume label about this ink. Amazon said 60 ml, some other sites said 40ml. Here is an example of 2 sites saying different volume with the same image and same price.

 

So I just want to ask, what is the volume of this bottle? Thank you all.

Well, Visconti has declined (or just neglected?) to declare authoritatively the net volume of ink in this product line on its web site. Given you physically have a unit of the product on hand, I'd say you're probably in as good a position as anyone — including but not limited to online retailers — to measure the volume of the bottle itself, or measure the volume of ink that was supplied in the bottle, whichever is the more important piece of information you want to ascertain.

 

Spoiler

Of course, you don't even have to pour the ink out from the bottle into a beaker, if you just want a close enough estimate for whether the volume of the bottle is 40ml, 50ml, or 60ml. You can simply measure the volume of water displaced from a filled-to-the-brim container when you submerge — with gentle but firm force if necessary — the part of the bottle below its neck.

 

I endeavour to be frank and truthful in what I write, show or otherwise present, when I relate my first-hand experiences that are not independently verifiable; and link to third-party content where I can, when I make a claim or refute a statement of fact in a thread. If there is something you can verify for yourself, I entreat you to do so, and judge for yourself what is right, correct, and valid. I may be wrong, and my position or say-so is no more authoritative and carries no more weight than anyone else's here.

Thank you so much! 

Huh, are they allowed to do that? Just not even give out details of their  product??? What kind of thinking is that. Sorry but I'm actually annoyed at that trivial thing haha.

I can't see why a supplier would not be allowed to refrain for stating certain attributes in a product's specifications. Customers who don't want to commit to the purchase blindly will simply not buy the product in the first place, and thus deny the supplier revenue from a sale; but there would be no recourse of, ”This product did not meet my expectations for reasons of not being as described, and therefore I should be entitled to get my money back.”
