giant TWSBI converter

[mke]

Never heard before, but recently stumbled over the mentioning of a "giant TWSBI converter" with 1.5 ml.

Do you have one? Are they good?

Can you replace a Schmidt K5 with them?

And finally, where do you buy them?

Thank you!

I think that is the one that goes in the TWSBI Swipe. It is their only pen that can use a converter or cartridge. It has to be a bit fat to hold that volume of ink, so I am unsure about your pen.

$4 from Goulet Pens, fits the SWIPE

 

Also from Goulet Pens:

 

"This replacement spring-loaded push-style cartridge converter by TWSBI is specifically designed for the TWSBI SWIPE.

 

While the opening is standard international size, the overall diameter of the converter is too large to fit other fountain pens besides the SWIPE"

The Twsbi Swipe can take two types of converters, both provided by Twsbi: one has an internal spring and fills with a pushing action; the other has a conventional twist system. If a pen uses standard-size cartridges and has a wide enough barrel you can use any one of the Twsbi converters.

That is exactly what I eventually plan to do. But everybody (seller und reviewer) just copied and pasted the description of TWSBI and nobody seems to have measured it.

So, if you have a TWSBI Swipe nearby, could you please measure it.

Thank you.

I have a Swipe. The converter will NOT fit other pens. See photo. The one at the front is another international standard mouthed converter

@Runnin_Ute Thank you, that is helpful.

It will fit my Dodeca (see the post about pens from penturners). I posted after your reply there.
