Pineider Snorkel filler and Traveling inkwell and giveaway!!!
Pineider recently launched two new accessories to help pen users keep their pens full and their fingers clean. The first accessory is a snorkel adapter for your converters and the second is an adjustable traveling inkwell. Frank from Federalist Pens and Paper sent me these goodies to review and there will be a giveaway as well! Thank you Frank for sending these my way, if you would like to check these out and get one or both for yourself, check out Federalist Pens and Paper at Federalist Pens and Paper.
Traveling Inkwell: The Traveling Inkwell comes in a small paper box with a diagram of the product on the front with “Pen Filler, Fill Any Pen, Anywhere, Anytime” as well as the Pineider logo. A great feature on the side of the box is measurement holes giving the minimum and maximum diameter grip sections that can fit into the inkwell, 9.5mm to 13.5mm. There is a small instruction booklet included with a diagram in English and Italian. The inkwell is made entirely of plastic and holds up to 10 cc (10ml) of ink for your on the go refill needs. The cap is black and has a plug with the Pineider logo on it, and the inkwell body is clear plastic with measurement increments in white, a max fill line, as well as the Pineider logo. To use the inkwell, fill it with your ink of choice, then remove the plug which opens the inkwell. Next, unscrew the cap slightly which adjusts the opening from the minimum to the maximum. Then, insert your pen and turn the cap to tighten it on the pen, then invert the inkwell and fill your pen as normal. Last, turn the inkwell right-side up, loosen the cap, remove the pen, wipe it down, and you are ready to go. I used my TWSBI Vac700R to test this out and it filled perfectly with very little ink on the grip section to clean up. The plug keeps the bottle sealed tight and I had no issues with leaks even with tossing it around. The Traveling Inkwell retails for $25 USD, which is a great price when compared to other inkwells. It holds a ton of ink, allowing around 10 standard international converter refills. The ability to adjust the opening to fit your pen is a smart design that allows for multiple brands to be used.Giveaway: If you would like to win a Snorkel filler of your own, leave a comment about your favorite writing accessory.
